Well nothing like working on a post for naught.
*sigh*
Oh well.
Anyway, here’s a poem I wrote yesterday.
Hope it will do for today.
.
.
There was a dog left home alone
With not even so much as a bone
He checked all around
For a treat to scarf down
But was heartbroken when he found none.
.
Sometimes it don’t pay to get up in the morning.
Hi! My name is Rumpy, and I am an Alaskan Malamute. I used to live in Middle Tennessee, but now my family and I reside in the Florida Panhandle of the US. I have this cool blog that I started in 2011. Here at rumpydog.com we talk about all things animal, with a focus on animal welfare and responsible animal companion guardianship. But we also like to throw in a heaping helping of cute! cute! cute! I mean, how could you look at me and not melt, right?
My story? Well, I was found on the side of a busy street. Jenny thought she would help me find my home, but nobody claimed me. So now I live with her. She's a pretty good ole' gal, but she is mighty stingy with the dog cookies. *sigh*
Also living here is DeDe- an older lady of unknown origins that was living at the trash dump. DeDe has many health concerns, yet you'd never know it by looking at her. She's the happiest dog in the whole world!
There are also some cats- they each have their own story. June Buggie is their chief spokesperson. He is 16 years old, crotchety, and not afraid to say what's on his mind.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!

Posted by fozziemum | July 18, 2013, 7:06 AMOh Rumpy you are cute! I hate it when you can’t find a chew too! I like tripe stick best. But I am only allowed them on occasion, because my person say the SMELL.

Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Posted by onespoiledcat | July 18, 2013, 7:35 AMOh no. That wasted my human’s time for nothing? I won’t be doing that again.
Posted by rumpydog | July 18, 2013, 7:50 AMOh that’s true dog-poetry, Rumpy. I hope you will get a truckload of treats - you are an artist!
Posted by easyweimaraner | July 18, 2013, 7:39 AMOh Rumpy…I wish I could send lots of bones immediately….
Hugs hugs Kevin xxx

Posted by PigLove | July 18, 2013, 8:14 AMYou got skills!
Posted by rumpydog | July 18, 2013, 9:29 AMThank you so much Rumpy for the post about Mary. It was already down but I saw you did one. We are still awaiting the Vet care clinic’s approval of the home we found for her. They have the phone number but so far no word. Keep that post. If they don’t like the farm environment she will go to, Mary will need to continue her search. Hope you find another bone paw pats, Savannah
Posted by Savannah's Paw Tracks | July 18, 2013, 8:24 AMI don’t think so Savannah. I will save that for those of you who are in the know. It’s frustrating to work in a post only to find out its wasted effort.
Posted by rumpydog | July 18, 2013, 8:36 AMI posted about Mary as soon as I knew she had a willing adopter. The vet clinic has to approve it and so far they are dragging their feet. Sorry you feel you wasted time, I know you are very busy. And Mary still does not have a confirmed home so that post would still have been helpful should they not let her go as it is a place where she would be indoor and outdoor
Posted by Savannah's Paw Tracks | July 18, 2013, 8:41 AMAnyone who might have been interested would not have pursued it once they read all the comments about the cat having a potential home. It would not be cool to do that to people who would possibly take her in.
Posted by rumpydog | July 18, 2013, 9:29 AMSo I “should” have not said a word, right? My mistake, guess I have ruined her chances now. I certainly won’t try to help again as I clearly don’t know how. Again, sorry you wasted your time. If you have other advice for me, my email is lcrodgers at sbcglobal dot net
Posted by Savannah's Paw Tracks | July 18, 2013, 9:34 AMAnd I’m sorry you are taking this personally. This isn’t about you. Animal adoption is an emotional experience and people will perceive me as callous to post a plea for a home for Mary, get them all excited, then tell them never mind. And yes, my time is limited and I feel it is valuable.
Posted by rumpydog | July 18, 2013, 9:49 AMThank you for your input
Posted by Savannah's Paw Tracks | July 18, 2013, 9:51 AMYou deserve a big handful of treats for that poem!!

Posted by The Florida Furkids | July 18, 2013, 8:41 AMPoor baby.
Posted by BJ Pup | July 18, 2013, 8:45 AMWow! That was something you should have saved for a Monday…so sad!
Posted by Emmadog | July 18, 2013, 9:23 AMHaha that’s cute!
Posted by jlee5879 | July 18, 2013, 9:29 AMHere’s a treat, Rumpy!
Posted by tchistorygal | July 18, 2013, 10:12 AMRumpy that was a wonderful poem! But I am sad you were left alone without a bone! Woooooowooooooo, Ku
Posted by Julianne Victoria | July 18, 2013, 10:34 AMAw poor you Rumpy. We know how you feel though, we’re left home alone a lot too. And that was a really great poem - we wish we could write like that!
Piggy Kisses,
Poppy and Clover

Posted by Poppy & Clover | July 18, 2013, 11:30 AMwho knew there was poesie in those paws? Very well done, Rumpy! 3 tail thumps!!
Posted by Charron's Chatter | July 18, 2013, 12:05 PMa cool dog and a cool ditty!
Posted by hobo hippie | July 18, 2013, 2:03 PMRumpy, how can they leave you without leaving a treat or two behind?!? So not fair.
Posted by Oz the Terrier | July 18, 2013, 2:19 PMPoor Rumpy!
Posted by ILoveDogs | July 18, 2013, 4:55 PMOh Rumpy, you are the poet laureate of sad poems!!!
Posted by kanzensakura | July 18, 2013, 5:52 PMAwww, somebody throw this doggy a bone, will ya?
Posted by wigglebuttryker | July 18, 2013, 7:19 PMAwww poor Rumpy …hugs xx
Posted by heysugarsugar | July 19, 2013, 2:57 AMWhat a wonderful poem! I think you deserve a big juicy bone for that one!
Posted by humanrescuesdog | July 19, 2013, 4:08 AMTerrible the way we starve our dogs. Beating, starving them, making them go OUTSIDE in the RAIN. I’ve noticed Nan is beginning to waddle a bit. She still says she’s starving.
Posted by Teepee12 | July 19, 2013, 10:20 AMVery cute. I saw the poem yesterday.
Posted by BJ Pup | July 19, 2013, 10:02 PMThen Jen saw Rumpy’s dire plight-
All alone with no treat in his sight.
So she dropped him a carrot,
That has healthy merit;
Poor Rumpy just ran from the fright.
