MEET "GG"!!


This is "GG". She is the new foster Grrl at Hooligan House. GG was picked up by something Mom calls 'the pound' in a little town waaaay up in north Alabama. A smart lady at the pound headquarters realized GG is an Airedale and she emailed Airedale Rescue. Mom made a few phone calls and sent out some requests for help on facebook, and some Grrrreat Volunteers stepped up to help drive GG to the Gulf Coast. GG arrived at our house last Friday night. Mom says Miss Danielle and Miss Michelle and Miss Aimee have earned a special place in Heaven because of their help with animal rescue.


We don't know anything about GG's history; she isn't telling us. We do know that she isn't housetrained yet, she doesn't know any obedisense commands and she is about 3 years old. She also needs to be fixed. Whatevah that is. Mom made an appointment for that to happen this Thursday. GG is smaller than us Hooligans are. She weighs about 20 pounds less than our Maggie and is a little bit shorter. She is a standard size Airedale Terrier. Dad said she is dainty looking and elegant and that she is better bred than we are. Mom slapped his head with a rolled up magazine when he said it.


No one ever called the pound to see if they had picked up an Airedale and no ads were put in any newspapers about her. Mom doesn't think GG had ever been in a house before she came to us. She doesn't know how to play and everything in the house startles her: the air conditioning coming on, the icemaker dropping ice, the doorbell. She didn't even know what a television was!


She's gonna stay with us for awhile and we're gonna turn her into a regular Hooligan --- uh, I mean, Airedale.  I bet it won't take long.


AAARRROOOOOOO !!!!

He Likes It!

Just wanted to yowl know that The Duke is enjoying his new crate. We have been putting his food dish beside it at meal times, and when he finishes eating, he goes straight to his new pad for a nap. We will try to get a good photo of the newly decorated man cave to post for you this weekend. WOOF!

IT'S HERE!


Duke's new crate has arrived. It weighs 125 pounds. 
Dad needed a furniture dolly to get it into the house. 


Jack checks it out to be sure it is a first class crate.


The new crate gets the Gentleman Jack Seal of Approval!


Dad puts it all together while Mom watches.

And Duke takes his first nap in his new crate,
with the door open and a comfy new pad on the floor. Mom thinks
the crate looks like a Hansel & Gretel cage. But the look doesn't seem
to be bothering Duke. Or any of the other Hooligans, either. 
Everyhooly took a turn lying down in it and they all seemed to like it just fine.
