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 southeast Alabama. 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*
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.
All writings and photos are the copyright property of Jenny Threet (unless the writer is a guest blogger, in which case it is the property of that guest blogger) and may not be used without permission.

Concats on your 1000th post Rumpy! That’s fantastic! June Buggy quit being such a crabby cat :) Hope you enjoyed your pig ear. Love your new toy!
Marty and Mom
Posted by Marty the Manx | June 1, 2014, 8:00 AMMaybe June Buggie was sad because blue is not her color? Enjoy your new toy and that fabulous pig ears… I can smell it when I press my nose on the screen :O)
Posted by easyweimaraner | June 1, 2014, 8:09 AMCongrats on your 1000th.
You see Rumpy, when you asked for a cookie and said, “PULEEZE,” you got more than just a cookie. You look so happy with your toy and treat. Don’t let the cats bother you, pick up the toy and “ear” and go someplace else.
Posted by Hi folks. It's BJ Pup | June 1, 2014, 8:10 AMWooohooooo Rumpy! Yumwumwum piggie ears! Ku
Posted by Julianne Victoria | June 1, 2014, 8:31 AMThe cats at this house are upset. Since your cats contributed in their own way, they think they should have gotten some catnip to celebrate. They are all pouty (just like June Buggie) but sending congrats anyway! A real accomplishment Rumpy!
Posted by katecrimmins | June 1, 2014, 8:56 AMCongrats on the 1000th post. Nice toy - June Buggie is just jealous.
Posted by Isaiah's Mom | June 1, 2014, 9:11 AMCongratulations! That’s a big benchmark - 1000 posts. Enjoy your toy and treat, Rumpy. Maybe June Buggie will get something as a consolation prize. ;)
Posted by Debbie | June 1, 2014, 9:18 AMI love how you’re hanging onto that new toy with both paws. No sense taking chances when you’re surrounded by some jealous vibes….
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Posted by Genevieve Petrillo | June 1, 2014, 9:18 AMDon’t you let that dour cat ruin your fun Rump. It’s a beautiful new toy.
I’ve got a new ball. It’s green and I can’t seem to crush and tear it as I do most toys.
Oh Yeh, my name is “Moose”. I’m a 10 month old Pit-Bull puppy with a big head and a big heart. I live here in Maryland with my Mom and Dad and my Grammy and Poppy. I hope you get my pictures ok. I also live with two cats. “Mic” is a Bombay and his half brother “Little Boy” is a Gray Tabby with big green eyes. Mic has written before so you probably remember him. He was one of six cats. Now he’s one of two. Our human; who calls himself “Angryman”; has a real name; Mark; but I like to think of him as “Absent-Minded Man” because he often doesn’t feed them until 10 or 11 o’clock when he knoooows they like to eat as soon as his feet hit the floor and will wake him if he sleeps past about. My Dad feeds me so poppy doesn’t have to worry about me unless I want to play or need a hug and a kiss. Literally; I like to stand up; put one paw on each of his shoulders and give him big sloppy kisses while he scratches my back. Don’t pass that around; Ok? I’m a little embarrassed that I love something so; Un-dog-ly.
Anyway. Keep your “Pimp Paw” strong Rump. I find pinning the cats under my paw is an effective way to keep them humble. They wiggle and twist and I just laugh. Fun; fun; fun.
Posted by angrymanspeaks | June 1, 2014, 9:20 AMOh how delish Rumpy :) and I think your toy is super cute..cats pout…it’s their Thang ;) hugs Fozziemum xx
Posted by fozziemum | June 1, 2014, 9:40 AMYour 1000th post!? WOW! That’s something! :-D Congrats, sweetie! :-)
June Buggie sure looks like she is jealous. But you can’t really blame her! We would be jealous of the nice things you’ve got too! MOL ;-)
Have a PURRFECT Sunday, sweetie! Enjoy your treats and toys! :-D xoxo Roxy & Tigerlino <3

Posted by dayphoto | June 1, 2014, 10:04 AMWoohoo! Glad you got treats Rumpy! Oh….poor June Buggie….our mom wants to send June Buggie some treats but she has little time….as soon as she gets some time, we’ll send something to June Buggie, his gang and you, Rumpy! :)
Posted by eripanwkevin | June 1, 2014, 10:17 AMOh Dog! I’ll bet you are all so busy since moving. I hope you get settled in soon. June Buggie DID get some treats, but he still wanted to pout over mine.
Posted by rumpydog | June 1, 2014, 10:21 AMCongratulations again on your 1000. It is always nice to get extra treats isn’t it? you look so cute.
Posted by winterblueangel | June 1, 2014, 11:06 AMCongratulations dear Rumpy, love and kisses from me too :)
Posted by niasunset | June 1, 2014, 11:25 AMOh Rumpy you are one lucky pup,xx Speedy
Posted by speedyrabbit | June 1, 2014, 11:47 AMHappy 1000th post rumpy!
Posted by peacelovenwhiskers | June 1, 2014, 11:59 AMWoo Hoo, congrats and have a grrrrrrrrrrreat celebration.
Posted by The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap | June 1, 2014, 12:14 PMOne thousand posts is a HUGE accomplishment! And with them you’ve informed us, entertained us and urged us to become active about all kinds of animal issues. You’re doing both the anipal AND the human communities a wonderful service and we’re very proud of you!
It’s always fun to get a new prezzie and a special treat. We thought that pig ear was some pizza at first. Does an ear smell like a hoof? It looks like a tasty nom. We’re really intrigued by that blue toy. Is it a critter? Is it one of those stretchy ones that pop back like an accordion? We have a long snake-y toy that makes rustling sounds when we pounce on it.
You know, we kitties think everything we see belongs to us. June Buggie was just trying to remind you of that! <3
Posted by Annabelle Essert (@RainbowCatsx8) | June 1, 2014, 12:46 PMWow, 1000 posts! Congratulations!
Elka really likes pig ears too. I haven’t gotten her one for awhile, maybe that needs to happen this week….
Posted by Jen | June 1, 2014, 12:47 PMI think so too!!!! Tell her it’s from Rumpy!

Posted by rumpydog | June 1, 2014, 5:29 PMPig ears smell gross.
Posted by corkscot | June 1, 2014, 3:26 PMOh but they taste so good!
Posted by rumpydog | June 1, 2014, 5:28 PMGood fur you doggie-boo!!! *(trills)*
Posted by hairballexpress | June 1, 2014, 3:54 PMYea for 100! Delightful each one of those.
Cool toy. You play so gently. Blue is always nice and calming
Molly got one yesterday - it’s been raining a lot…need to distract her from the window sill sometimes..hers is still mostly here despite the razor sharp chomping…she sees toy destruction as a challenge…she should be a tough dog toy company testing dog
Posted by philosophermouseofthehedge | June 1, 2014, 5:11 PMThis toy has no stuffing and is supposed to still squeak even if it has a hole in it, so I’m determined to find out! woo woo!
Posted by rumpydog | June 1, 2014, 5:28 PMCongrats on 1000 posts, Rumpy. I don’t think I will ever get there! Couldn’t you do better than pig ears? MOL
Posted by Austin Towers | June 1, 2014, 5:19 PMI could, but Jen wouldn’t buy me filet mignon…. *sigh*
Posted by rumpydog | June 1, 2014, 5:27 PMWay to go Rumpy! Love the way you gave it to the cat. Woof.
Posted by dontdoubtthedog | June 1, 2014, 6:15 PMCats get what they deserve. Woof!

Posted by rumpydog | June 2, 2014, 8:19 AMI just found your blog, and am enjoying your stories & photos. You definitely are one handsome dog! I’ll be back!
If your human likes to read dog stories, have her check out http://maijaharrington.com, where I’m posting chapters from my book-in-progress, Funny Tails: Adventures & Misadventures in Living with Pugs. It’s a lighthearted look at my life with our 3 pugs as well as various pugs we’ve fostered for Pug Rescue of North Carolina. So far, readers think the book is really funny. (It’s G-rated. And it’s free, not trying to sell you anything.)
