Say Hello To Cletus

After the deal with Red fell though on Friday on October 25th, later that night I searched bloodhound rescue sites and found a website I had looked at over the years South Central Bloodhound Rescue.

Once I saw him I knew he was the one and I was reminded things happen for a reason. I didn't fill out an application but sent them some questions that I had about him. The listing said he was located at a fosters house in Indiana but he had been rehomed multiple times. 

The initial vet thought he to be the same age as Watson, he is neutered and the only red x in his writeup was that he didn't like cats. Sounded pretty good to me. I hit the submit button and went to bed.

The next morning as I was getting the day started with the hounds and dogs breakfast, my coffee and turning on the computer ... I saw I had an email reply back from SCBR, that was sent at 4:15am my time ... but they were on ET. I was shocked, happy, actually excited when I saw where he was located ... Linton Indiana.

I was expecting someplace up north a few hundred miles but that near my old "stomping grounds" where I lived before. Bloomfield, where I lived before, is 12 miles from Linton. So this trip was going to be pretty simple and no others were needed to help out.
