Help Bring Ole Dog Home!

My search for an elkhound has entered a new phase, and a happy one it is, too. The Puget Sound Norwegian Elkhound Rescue has found the perfect guy for Sofia and me. Besides his great disposition, he's reported NON-barkyness, and being the right age, etc., there was one way I knew it had to be this dog. My son's name is Ole, too!

Here he is at his foster home.

Now comes the big effort to get this guy up to Alaska. It's going to cost some dough, I need your help. I'll be spending big bucks once the ground thaws to put in a back door and a fence so that Ole and Sofia can run and tumble in a real back yard without moose or stray dogs interfering. It's a real group effort to get Ole up here, involving planes, automobiles, long trips and buying a travel kennel, etc. I'll be driving to Anchorage and back to pick him up (and possibly the person traveling with him) and that's a minimum 700 mile round trip, which equals lots of gas money, too. Plus a crate has to be bought for him to fly in, the vet must be paid for neutering, microchipping, and giving him a health certificate so he can fly. I'm also having a back yard fence built for the dogs either in May or June, depending on when the ground is thawed enough to do that.

So anything you can donate to help is very, very much appreciated! The donate button is there on your left.

Ole is going to be one of the happiest elkhounds alive. Not only does he get an instant girlfriend, new mom, and great yard, but he gets what most elkhounds don't have: real MOOSE. Heck, he'll even get to eat moose meat when my friends who hunt give us some. The other thing that elkhounds love above all is SNOW. What can I say? The snow just started melting up here. He's going to love it! And Sofia and I are going to love HIM.

Keith Richards: World's Oldest Living Dead Guy

Did he snort his dad's ashes mixed with cocaine? I highly doubt it. I have the ashes of my beloved Stevie dog, and there is no way I could consume the amount of material that was Stevie, not to mention it isn't really ashes, it's bone shards and other larger things. Not even a professional Snorter like Richards could absorb an entire funeral urn of remains.

On his website he's stated that of course he didn't do that. Instead, he buried the ashes under an oak tree, and stated that he wouldn't snort cocaine at this point in his life unless he was suicidal.

Which make sense...unless you look at his picture. You can't commit suicide if you are already dead. I've maintained that he has been dead for years. He's the World's Oldest Living Dead Guy.

Didn't he have his blood replaced 100% more than once in order to kick heroin addiction? I wonder what kind of blood they replaced it with....vampires come to mind.

I think they filled in his cheeks with putty here. Doesn't it look like he's borrowed Michael Jackson's wig? And what is with his left hand? What does he have there? Putty fingers and one got squooshed? The color of the back of his hand is quite different from the color of his fingers. Creeeeeepy.

I don't know, mabye he really is dead, and someone has cleverly re-animated him. All I know is I don't want to get close enough to find out. Has anyone noticed whether he has a reflection or not?
