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.

Clever captions bring new life to your photos!

Posted by rumpydog | August 7, 2013, 9:53 AMRumpy is so cute lying all squashed out on the floor…looks like my Cousin Leo!!
Posted by Savannah's Paw Tracks | August 7, 2013, 9:59 AMI’m with you Rumpy - let’s pray for cat food on the floor
)
Posted by easyweimaraner | August 7, 2013, 10:07 AMLOL! Love the frog dog legs there, Rumpy. I’m sure Maya and Pierson pray for food too. Since we don’t have a cat, the prayer is probably, “Please let someone drop some food on the kitchen floor.”
Posted by ILoveDogs | August 7, 2013, 10:39 AMRumpy, we have never had cat food - is it really tasty?
You and Lightning both seem to like doing that froggie doggie thing:)

Posted by Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning | August 7, 2013, 11:05 AMBacon and sardines! Woooowooooo, Ku
Posted by Kuruk | August 7, 2013, 11:07 AMHmmmm…..
When I say my prayers/ I ask for peace, harmony/
Bacon and sardines
Posted by rumpydog | August 7, 2013, 11:15 AMAh…that’s one of your best haikus EVER!!
Also, at our house, your pose is called “Splat Dog.”
Cats don’t pray for stuff. We just *expect* it to come our way!
Posted by Annabelle Essert (@RainbowCatsx8) | August 8, 2013, 3:04 AMAin’t THAT the truth! Here too!
Posted by rumpydog | August 8, 2013, 4:38 AMMy large 6-yr old yellow Lab is truly an “opportunivore”. His specialty is whatever the cats regurgitate (except hairballs)! He and his canine sisters also favor the “unprocessed” cat food!
Posted by durhampa | August 7, 2013, 11:59 AMDeDe is the puke eater around here, but we’ve both been known to sneak a treat from the cat box!
Posted by rumpydog | August 7, 2013, 12:20 PMI wasn’t going to mention that! All three of my canines dine on treats from the cat boxes!
Posted by durhampa | August 7, 2013, 2:12 PMRumpyyy what an insane pose hahah!
Posted by LifeOfBun | August 7, 2013, 1:09 PMRumpy — you just plain tickle me — giving me a chuckle and a smile each time I see you in a new pose/photo!! This pose really shows off your long big self!! xoox
Posted by becca givens | August 7, 2013, 2:00 PMWhat a helpful dog you are, Rumpy! We love that you help (and even PRAY that you can help) clean up after the cats.
Posted by meowmeowmans | August 7, 2013, 2:14 PMOMGoodness! These are funny prayers! I usually pray for goose poop on the ground and Mom not watching me like a hawk….
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Posted by Genevieve Petrillo | August 7, 2013, 5:02 PMOoh! Goose poop sounds like a GREAT prayer!
Posted by rumpydog | August 7, 2013, 5:37 PMWe like to pray for sunshine,cozy nap spots and treats

Posted by BJ Pup | August 7, 2013, 9:14 PMIf they want it, I do. They usually don’t want it though.
