Life & Giving it back…(The story of Mr. Hobson)

Ok friends Via Facebook & twitter I told everyone that “Sometimes God can lead you on little unexpected detours, to something right”… So here is the story…

"Emmie Lou"

Earlier this week I was walking our German Shepherd/Husky mix, “Emmie” .We live on a road that dead ends into a beautiful lake here in Nashville… So, as we jogged our normal route, I decided out of the blue to take a different way, The sun was starting to set over the lake and the water is way down so I decided to take “Emmie” down a path out to the rocks that in the summertime are underwater to take a picture of her with the sun setting over the lake behind her…

So I find a good rock, have Emmie Sit & stay while I was getting my phone ready to take her picture.. This went on for about 2 mins (as I’m not the best camera operator in the world, Don’t judge me) I then heard a rustling in the bushes behind me, Emmie obviously perked up to see what would be coming out of these bushes.. At first all that was visable was Black & white to which I was mortified to think I had about 3 seconds to take some sort of action (aka Running) before I got sprayed by a skunk.. Then it happened…

Out of the bushes stumbles an obviously  starved and a very weak & close to dying Boston Terrier… He immeadiatly started working his way over to me, stumbling & falling over weak.. As he got closer to me I could tell he was mostly blind if not completely and had bedded down to die out here in the woods..  I called Kourtney (my GF) who is very close with a Vet in town and the DR. was kind enough to stay over an hour late as I picked him up, put him in my truck and hauled ass about 35-45 mins to the vets office..

On the Way to the office I was petting him, trying to keep him calm and awake because I didn’t know his condition.. On that ride to the vet I was trying to think of names that fit this guy, Blind in need of lots of help & for some reason I just came to the conclusion that if he were able to speak it would be in a british accent. So, Mr. Hobson is where I landed..

Hobson

Hobson was the butler in the original “Arthur” movies from the 80′s and it just seemed to fit this guy..  The Vet Took amazing care of “Hobs” fluids, flea, Tick, wormer, skin scrapes, more fluids, antibiotics and other stuff I don’t know what it was.. Nevertheless, The Dr told us, He seems to be okay, He believed (as he was un-Neutered) that he could have been a stud dog for a breeder who when was too old that he was dumped in a ditch by the side of a road to die(this happens a lot on dead end roads) where he probably went maybe 10 days, 2 weeks without food…

So Here is the long & short.. I am Posting a Stageit Show and I’m inviting you to Help Mr. Hobson.. We are going to give Hob’s the best rest of his days that we can.. So every penny from this stageit show is going to go to his Vet bills which will continue to build as we take every step we can to get him healthy. The vet was unsure, maybe 13 years old- He may have a large array of things and may go in his sleep Tonight or Next week or two years from now.. Its all hard to say, but the one sure thing is that the rest of Hob’s Days will be warm, comfy & full of bowls of food, Blankets, bones & Toys (he’s been chewing on a Sheep Lately)…
