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.
John and I are starting our second year traveling around the country. I'm excited to see what this year brings.
Since my last report, John and I did a trip to Nashville, TN, and back home. We then went to Aiken, SC and then another load home as well.
For our first trip, we loaded a bread van that was loaded with furniture, an SUV, and a couch. The family was moving to Memphis from Concord, NH. HudsonJohn got it all loaded and we arrived just outside Memphis to their new home. John had arranged for a rollback truck to unload the bread truck since it was too big for his car ramps. The one that showed up wasn't as big as the one that loaded it. The bread truck was too long and John and the operator had to block the front end and chain the rear to the wrecker. It wasn't pretty but they got the job done.
We went to Nashville to reload and after John was loaded and tarped he took me for a walk. When it was time to get back into the truck, I decided to see how fast John could run. I took off under the truck and headed across the street to anotherwarehouse. When I got to the door, I looked back just in time to see John run through a ditch, lose his boot in the mud, and run across the street with only one boot on. I was so embarrassed. I just hope nobody saw me with him. We got back to the truck after he retrieved his boot from the mud, and headed to Boston.
After we unloaded in Boston, we headed over to Lancaster, MA and loaded a horse barnpackage that was going to Aiken, SC. We arrived Monday afternoon and found out thefork lift wasn't going to show up until the next morning. We found a jumping arena nearby and explored a little bit. John was trying to get me to do some jumps but I Hudsonwasn't interested. Uno doesn't have to worry about competition from me!
After unloading the horse barn, we loaded some army trucks going back to Maine. We unloaded on Friday and made it home before yet another snow storm.
The next week we spent at home. The truck had some engine repairs that needed to be taken care of. John had dentist, doctor, and eye appointments and I had my annual check-up. Both John and I got clean bills of health and are ready for our next year of adventures.
