Weekend adventure.

Hi, Mort here and I wanted to tell you about the adventure we had this weekend. It was something, sorta sad and sorta good.









Well, here goes...... I had been at the farm. Wonderful place filled with rabbits, possumes, racoons, deer and skunks skunks (though I don't chase skunks as much anymore). I love it so much, that I never want to leave. Mom comes, but I just look at her from the weeds.


She only has two paws on the ground and can't catch a thing. But today, she slipped behind me in the house and before I could scurry out the door, she had me by my necklace. Really, I didn't even think about her comming up from behind!


















Anyway, she goes and hauls me off to the car and in I go. Rats! I wanted to chase more things, but we were off and headed home. She even brought Nick the Kid with her. Obnoxious, annoying little youngster, always wanting to romp in the yard when the real work is in the woods. That us, in the pics below, we get to play for hours. NO LEASH! YEA! FREEDOM!















































Dang kid wouldn't know a rabbit scent from a squirrel scent if it run up and bit him on his short black nose. My nose is long and exsquisit to say the least, but back to the story. Mom takes us the the state park, way up in the woods, back up a trail is a road that travels for 10 miles. All gravelly dirt, but a car can go there. Believe you me it is nice in the winter to stretch your legs there. Mom won't let us go to the farm during "Deer Season". I am not sure what that is, but it must be terrible bad, because we aren't allowed out. Anyway she takes us there to stretch our legs. She sits in the car and we follow her up the trail running as fast as we can. I love it.

















On the way back I spotted something roadside. I thought how strange and wasn't entirely sure my nose wasn't lying, but just sitting there were two lost and lonely puppies! What a trip! I ran right up and ask them how they got there, where was their mother, their Mom? They didn't know what a Mom was, but said their mother left them here to go fetch sisters.




I got all excited and jumped around. My tail in the air and my front paws and chest in a bowing posistion (that is how I tell other dogs I want to play), but Nick the Kid was acting goofy.
Now, I have to tell you right here and now, Nick the Kid don't belong to Mom. She just takes him out for exercise. He lives away from us.
Well, Mom got fed up real quick and put Nick in car, then I jumped in and she scooped up the two pups and put them in. Off we went. I tried to tell Mom there were more on the way, but she wouldn't listen. I was a little worried the others would be left behind.


It was ok, before we got up the road two turns here comes mother and sisters. Mom about freaked when she saw mother. Mother was all skin and bones, sickly looking toting one pup in her mouth and one pup tagging along behind. My Mom jumps out of the car and scoops another pup, but Nick the Kid was acting such a fool that mom couldn't get mother and the last pup. We had to head home. I about cried really loud cause of it.





















I shouldn't have worried so, because mom went straight to Nick the Kid's house and got his friend E. I had to stay at Nick the Kid's house with him, that is another story in itself. Dang fool kid. Mom and E. went back to the woods and rescued mother and pup. Now all four puppies and mother were safe in Mom's garage where everyone had all the food and water they wanted.




The next morning Mom took the puppies to the vet because they had no fur on their tails. Looked like little rats, they did. The vet said, "Ringworm." Mom got the dippin medicine for them. But next morning she took them to the "No Kill" shelter in Piketon, Ohio. She took them for their word that no one would be murdered. She had to leave them there. She said, we four abandoned dogs were all she could take care of.


















This is Casey - above. I don't know how he stays so fat. He lives on a farm and can run, play and romp when ever. Mostly he sleeps ontop grandpa's car. Makes grandpa crazy. Makes Casey happy.





Thank God for Mom. She took us all in when no one wanted us. Me - I was in a prison at London, Ohio, Casey (his real Dad died from cancer), Little Annie - left on the side of the road, and Nick the Kid - left under a van when he was 6 weeks old. Casey and Little Annie stay at the farm all the time. Mom says it is because they don't go to far. Mom says I go to far. I don't know what she means.

If I had all the people money in the world, I would help abandoned mothers and puppies everywhere.



Below are some pics of us doing, well, stuff.












































Geesh Louise, I need a nap!
