"Boudreaux the Bluetick Hound" MIA

joho · 07-19-2009, 06:57 PM

Boudreaux jumped the fence today around 4:00 p.m.
He resides on the north side of Hwy 393.
The two little boys he left behind are devestated

His beach tag and name tag were found in the yard. We're hoping he still has his veterinary tag on his collar.

If anyone has seen him please PM me.
Thanks!

Oh no - keep us posted! Does he bay a lot? Maybe you'll hear him tonight.....I hope you will!

He's sprung out before but had his tags on so he was returned.
We're alittle concerned this time but we're keeping optimistic.

Thanks for your concern Lynnie

Blue Ticks at the farm seem to become very vocal at night. Keep your windows open; I have a feeling you'll find him!

If Sweet Pea was there, she'd help you find him~~~~~~

DD · 07-19-2009, 08:13 PM

No!!

Prayers are with you joho that you find him.
I love that dog!!

Lynnie · 07-20-2009, 09:59 AM

Saw a sign on 98 around 393 about big black dog found without a collar...may want to check it out.

Lynnie · 07-20-2009, 12:43 PM

Wahoo - maybe that's him.

jessifunn · 07-20-2009, 01:02 PM

no!!!!!!!!!!! boudreaux you better go home right now!

joho · 07-21-2009, 03:28 PM

UPDATE UPDATE................

We got a call today around noon, Boudreaux was found Sunday night by someone (who will receive a reward) and will be back home safe sometime tonight!

After posters, calls to the alaqua shelter, animal control, and vets in the area we're getting him back.

Thanks to all concerned Sowallers on the lookout for him and all the nice people we've dealt with throughout this ordeal. A big hand to you all!

He's going to the vet to have a chip put in his ear so we aren't put through this again.

The two little boys he left behind can't wait to give him a big kiss!

Wonderful news!! I always forget about the chip......my animals are chipped. FYI - I have heard it's better to place the chip in the shoulder and from what I understand they do move around....the chip, that is!

So glad he's coming home.

Any idea how far away he was found? I am always curious as to how far the hounds travel when they go on walk about. I have always walked mine the same route, day in and day out. When my previous Blood Hound went on walk about, he was out for several hours, but the theory in walking the same route, is that they eventually pick up your scent and come home. He showed up late one night - I was a mess, of course.

And, at the beach, Sweet Pea goes on walk about quite a bit.....same route and she does always show up very tired, yet happy.....happy to have been on her own for a bit or to be home? Who knows!

Lynnie, she goes off on her own? Aren't you afraid someone will get her? I would be terrifed!

Yes - I'm a little nervous! However, I am pretty sure all my neighbors just tell her to GO HOME, Sweet Pea! The longest she was ever gone was about 45 min.

I've actually caught her a couple of times sneaking off - it scares the behayzeus out of her when I sneak up on her and ask her what she thinks she's doing!

You have a Gracie too???? We love our Gracie's.....

Boudreaux...where have you been???????

joho · 07-21-2009, 08:00 PM

Here's the story..........................
Apparently a worker was walking home from work up North 393 and Boudreaux came running up to him out of the woods.
"Boodi" followed him home to his place on Indian Woman and hung out on the front porch. The guy went to work on Monday and when he got back Boodi was still there. Imagion that?

Today the guy took him to work with him and the boss called the vets number.
Thank goodness he still had that tag on his collar.

Thanks for the advice Lynnie about the chip in the shoulder.
Thanks again for all the support and concern.

Miss Kitty · 07-22-2009, 05:00 AM

I couldn't even open this thread I was that sad. But, something told me there was good news today.

Boodi...STAY HOME!

How many dogs do you have? Was Bou in the back of your HUM when we picked up the paint? Our Gracie is 6 and was terribly abused the first year of her little life .We adopted her and now she's a little princess. Under all that matted hair she turned out to be a miniture scotty? snouser? who knows?If I can I'll send you a picture.So proud Bou's home.......Jan

Imatrucountrygirl · 07-26-2009, 10:10 AM

Blessings to you, Boodi and the two lil boys.. I am missing a lil mini poodle from the north end since 7-8-09, still miss him terribly.. But I am so happy there is a happy ending for some....

Bou is not my dog, but Joho's grandsons dog. My 3 dogs were in the Hummer that day. My Gracie is a Tibetan Terrier given to my by wife #5. Today, she and Chester (an Aussie) are banned to the yard since they found a skunk or something equally nasty yesterday. One bath down and God knows how many more to go...

After shampooing pour a bottle of tomato juice over them ..let it sit for a minute and rinse well...I learned that trick at a hair show years ago to get odors out of human hair..it works...good luck....Jan
