I Just Gotta Ask…..
Hi everybody! Since all the other animal bloggers are at Barkworld, I thought I’d take a moment to just you and me have a little heart to heart. Ya see, while I talk about animals and animal issues, I don’t really consider myself an “animal blogger.” No, your ole’ pal Rumpy sees himself as more … Continue reading
A Change in the Routine
We’ve been in the new place for a little over a month now, and the routines are already in need of some tweaking. I changed the feeding routine for the cats because we have a couple that could stand to lose a few pounds. Instead of a free-feeder, they’re fed twice a day like the … Continue reading
Why I Shop at the Local Pet Boutique (and You Should Too)
Let’s start by saying that I’m no saint. I do shop at the major pet retailers. I have been known to darken the doors of the mega-retailer of all-things-that-can-be-sold. And yes, I do buy online. But my heart, and a significant portion of my budget for animal care products, is with local small business owners … Continue reading

Stuffies Misunderstood!
It’s funny how some stuffies become instant ground cover for me, while others last a long, long time. This is chicken. Chicken was a gift from my friends Forrest and Autumn and their mom Leslie. His squeaker is gone, and he’s past due for a bath, but I love to play with my chicken. … Continue reading
Dog Lovers Come in All Shapes, Sizes, and Musical Genres!
People who love animals come from all corners, including some places you don’t expect. David Flynn is the bassist for metal band Chelsea Grin. Recently Flynn posted on the band’s Facebook page that his puppy needed immediate surgery, and that he couldn’t afford the $2300 it was estimated to cost. What do you think happened … Continue reading

What I Did This Weekend
That darn Monday is here AGAIN! She’s liked less than a used car salesman directing traffic for a road construction crew. At least we have the memories of a lovely weekend. What did we do? What did you do this weekend?

Rumpy Dog
All About Me!
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.
