Normal Daily Routine

This time of year not much going on. 

Not Much Went On Today

I cannot get over how well Cletus is settling in here. He came housebroken and I had a test for him today. I needed groceries plus a run to The Donut Bank to buy some celebration pastry to eat. I was gone for almost an hour, where I left him and all the adult hounds, and dog in the house with access to the backyard. When Ava saw me getting ready to leave, she grabbed her Nylabone and went into her crate without any command.

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.

Getting Closer To The New Bloodhound

This is Cletus, the bloodhound I am going to adopt from South Central Bloodhound Rescue. I am in the final stages of the adoption and as of right now I will be getting a day and time I drive up to see him and bring him back to the crew. He is a 4 year old, spayed male. I will talk more about him after he arrives.
