Hudson was rescued by B.O.N.E.S. from a bad situation in Limington, ME. After the gentleman called 911 (and subsequently passed away), the local ACO found 20 dogs living in squalid conditions.
B.O.N.E.S. took most of them and found them new homes. Overall, Hudson was in very good shape but when he had his physical, they found a serious mast cell tumor in his nose. As much as possible was removed.
B.O.N.E.S. wanted to find a wonderful home for Hudson and we did. John is a long-haul trucker that had lost his beagle companion of 13 years. He wanted a new companion. Luckily John found Hudson (or Hudson found John). It was a wonderful match. Hudson reported in regularly, and we share his "Chronicles" on this page.
Hi from Durham, ME. It's a beautiful sunny morning here and the temp is a balmy 11 below zero! We are going into another cold spell here for the next few days. Last weekend was far worse, though. Friday morning was 25 below zero! The oil line for the furnace froze up for a couple hours but John got it thawed out. The following Sunday we got 15 inches of snow. I'm glad we were home during all of this!
We had a nice Christmas down in Virginia visiting two of John's sisters. The weather was fine with a couple of days near 60 degrees.(I guess this cold stuff is payback) I got to visit with Shadow, Toby, and Haley while I was down there and things haven't changed much with them, no new gossip about any of the local dogs in the "hood". While down there, I discovered that I like beer!
We got back after New Years and after a few days home, we loaded some shipping crates to be returned to several John Deere factories in Illinois and Iowa. We then reloaded several trailers in Michigan to come home with. The weather both out and back was snowy and cold. I don't like this time of year, snow gets caked in my paws.
We spent last week home doing work on the truck, getting the taxes ready, and trying to find loads. It is still pretty slow here in Maine.
Recently, we were in Portland and stopped in to visit everyone at the Peterbilt dealership. One of the salesmen was making fun of us and I decided to get in his face and intimidate him a little bit. I found out that, in genHudsoneral, we Beagles aren't that intimidating. Out of fear, I think, he gave me some peanuts, which, I found, I liked. Hmm, peanuts, and beer...
Well, tomorrow we are loading an excavator in Massachusetts that is going to Mississippi. I hope it will be quite a bit warmer there.
Hudson
