Hello Everyone !
Not back yet, start up date 5 October
but
Japanese son sent me this clip and thehamish and I
wanted to share it.
Man builds 'dog train' to take stray dogs on adventures
Mr. Bostick is 80 years old amd lives in Forth Worth, Texas.
He and his brother have been taking care of the wildlife around
their home for over 30 years.
They started taking in all the stray dogs that
(mean, stupid, idiots, my words) are dumped on their road.
The brothers wanted to take the dogs on trips. Mr. Bostick came up with
this idea after seeing a tractor pulling a cart.
They said that the dogs get so excited about their weekly train rides.
I love these brothers !
thehamish sents wurfs
and chkikin' strips to all
.
thehamish is doing fine but he misses his Watson
I miss him too !
.........
wurfs. . . parsnip
music. . . Happy, Pharrell
Hi again, Gayle! There's a special place in h-double-scribble for people who dump their unwanted animals along dangerous roads and highways, and a special place in heaven for people like those brothers who take them in. I have never known a dog that doesn't love to go for a ride, and this simple, open air dog train idea is a delight to behold.
ReplyDeleteI wish you and thehamish a peaceful weekend. I continue to think about your Watson every day. I won't ever forget him.
Thank you that is super nice of you !
DeleteIf you look him up you can view them driving through a golf course and everyone stops to wave and take photos !
I saw this on Facebook--it's great!
ReplyDeleteNone of us will ever forget Watson. My prayers are always with you and Hamish. Check my blog tomorrow for a special post for you and all my friends who've loved and lost non-human family members....
I will check it out.
DeleteThis is lovely! Poppy and I have just watched it together. And my son came in to see it too. What lovely folks to look after the dogs and take care of them so. Ted n Pops send you and The Hamish lots of love x
ReplyDeleteThey are very happy dogs.
DeleteThe carts have pillows and the older dogs have ladders to help them up.
The dogs have names and the last two have to be put on leads because they like to jump out.
It you have a chance look him up
Love that photo. And wow, that's neat about the train thing.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun.
DeleteThey have good hearts
Stopped in to tell you that the Swiss Chard that I turned into chips, oh my, so yummy. The radish tops were good too, but the chard, I liked better. No Dandelion available for me. Though that is one I will try and when I do, I'll post about it. Thanks for the tip.
DeleteHello, thehamish. We love you. We love your mom. Willy Dunne Wooters takes Franklin for a car ride every weekend. Before Franklin gets in the car, he has to have his paws wiped off because they get muddy in the flooded backyard. Franklin is gud. He lies on his back while WDW cleans his paws with a towel.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
We love Franklin !
DeleteA fun clip! Watson is missed. Hugs to all of you.
ReplyDeleteAren't the brothers sweet.
DeleteI love the doggie train. Maybe you and Hamish should rig something up!
ReplyDeleteHe rides in my walker but doesn't really like it much.
DeleteLove the train, what a sweet idea. Much love to the hamish.
ReplyDeleteIs that just the best story ?
DeleteWhat a sweet story! These men have such a warm and kind heart. It made me so happy to see the dogs who were dumped are now having such a fun ride and happy life :-)
ReplyDeleteThe photo of Watson and thehamish together is very sweet. Glad to hear he is doing fine but he must be missing Watson a lot... Sending warm hugs to you both xo
They are all happy dogs
DeleteLove and cuddles to thehamish. See you when you get back.
ReplyDeleteLove the dog train.
Diana
Way to much fun for the gud dugs !
DeleteHello Parsnip, that is great fun for the dogs and such special people those brothers to take care of the dogs.
ReplyDeleteA sweet photo of Thehamish with Watson in a warm embrace.
Regards,
Roos
The dogs just are now having a great life.
DeleteHow lovely to see Watson in happy times.
ReplyDeleteMr. Bostick is so cool.
Watson was thehamish touchstone.
DeleteWhen ever he was ill or scared you could always find him cuddling with Watson
Special cuddles to the Hamish. (and you too of course.)
ReplyDeleteawwwww right back to you.
DeleteHow cute! The doggie train and of course, Hamish too! Love to you both!
ReplyDeleteIs that not just the best.
DeleteThe dogs are so lucky their horrid people left then to die near these brothers.
How sweet is that!
ReplyDeleteSo very sweet.
DeleteThank you for stopping by. I don't do facebook sorry.
That is ridiculously cute!
ReplyDeleteBeyond cute !
DeleteLucky doggies! I want someone to take me on a ride like that.
DeleteWhat an eccentrically lovely man Mr Bostick must be. I guess Hamish must think that Watson is away somewhere. I am sure he will be glad if he can help to comfort you, even if he does not understand quite why.
ReplyDeleteHe does miss Watson.
DeleteAnd is somewhat more clingy to me if that can be possible.
The dog train rocks. Hugs to you and the Hamish.
ReplyDeleteIt is so much fun for the gud dugs !
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that the dogs sit in their train cars so nicely without trying to jump out. Just goes to show ya, they must reeeeeally enjoy that outing. Those brother are awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are awesome !
DeleteOnly just catching up with blog reading as have been incredibly busy, I would just like to say how sorry I am to hear about your loss. xx
ReplyDeleteThank You so much.
DeleteWhat a great idea for those lucky dogs. I'm sure you and Hamish will be of great comfort to each other. See you when I return from the high seas.xox
ReplyDeleteThe dogs are lucky !
DeleteAnd Pat I want to thank You for all the kind words.
Have a wonderful trip.
