Teaching Children About Responsible Animal Care
Educating people about responsible care of companion animals is one thing we’re big on around here at Rumpydog. So when our “anonymous friend” told us about how so many of the families she works with have pets that aren’t spayed or neutered, we put our thinking caps on. How can we spread that message? The … Continue reading
Bad! Bad! Bad!
I am a bad dog owner. I have considered the unthinkable. I have thought of trying to rehome Rumpy. I know. I just made everyone’s list of bad animal caretakers. And you’re probably thinking things like, if she didn’t think she could take care of him his entire life, she never should have brought him … Continue reading
Words on Wednesday- Cold Laser Treatment
As I told you, DeDe got a cold laser treatment at the vet’s office as a part of her treatment for arthritis. Cold therapy, also known as low level laser therapy (LLLT), is an experimental treatment but some find it to be effective with short-term relief from pain in joints caused by arthritis. The therapy has … Continue reading

Dear, Sweet DeDe and Stressed-Out Me
DeDe has arthritis. Part of me is relieved that that’s all it is. Part of me is not. Arthritis is not just a condition to live with. Arthritis means DeDe is in pain, and from the looks of things, she’s been in a great deal of pain. It also means that she has yet another … Continue reading
Please Pray for DeDe
Something’s wrong with DeDe. She was fine when I got home from work. She jogged around the yard, smiling and wagging her nub of a tail. She inhaled her supper, as always. But a bit after 8 PM, she had trouble standing. She couldn’t pull herself up or walk straight. I have her an … Continue reading

A Yard Filled With Dog Treats!
Talk about lucky dogs! If you live on the East Coast of the US, you certainly are! Why? The cicadas have come! I LOVE cicadas! When we had them in our yard, Jen had to keep an eye on me so I wouldn’t stuff myself silly. DeDe didn’t seem to care for them. I … Continue reading
The Bestest Dog Treat Ever! Seriously!
Now you know how much Rumpy likes his cookies! But did you ever think there would be a treat he’d enjoy just as much, yet was WAY better for him? It’s true! What could it be??????? WHAT? The dogs love chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans)! Chickpeas are a healthy snack for dogs: they contain … Continue reading
Poo on Monday!
I don’t like Mondays. I guess you’re wondering what’s the big deal. After all, I’m a dog. All days should look alike to me, right? But they don’t. On the weekend, Jen is here! We get to play. And have fun. And just BE together. The other days, she’s gone. And even though I still … Continue reading

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 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.
