RUDY - The Dog I Rescued On My Motorcycle!

Rudy is a wild story. Hes doin fine now (hes laying on the floor right now next to me)

Anyway, I was coming home from work one night around midnight on my motorcycle (it was cold & had rained earlier) I was going to go through a dirt road by my house but it was muddy from the rain & I had just lubed my chain.

So I went the boring street way. I turned a corner & there was a little white ball of fur in the middle of the road. My bike is loud & usually scares animals away. But he came right up to me. I looked for a yard he may have gotten out of. He kept just wandering around the street (back & forth)

I knew I couldnt leave him there. So I picked him up. He was just bones & hair (it was bad) His toe nails were Howard Hughes style (super long & curled over) & I could only feel bones on his back.

I put him on my gas tank & since I had to hold him, I couldnt do the clutch & give it gas at the same time. So I sat on my bike (holding him) & pushed with my feet fast enough to get going & let out the clutch.

I putted down the street & around the corner to my house. I put him in the garage, got out the little heater & went inside to tell my girlfriend (another story..lol) Anyway, we gave him wet cat food & he ate a lot. I dried him off & put together a little bed for him.

The next day I had to get him to the vet. Since I only have a motorcycle, I had to put him in one of our cardboard cat carriers & bungee strap it to my gas tank (so I could hold it in front of me with my hands on the handle bars)

Our vet didnt know if hed make it (he was in baaad shape) He weighed less than our smallest cat, had a cataract in one eye & his jaw was broken in 3 places. Ironically, his vitals were ok.

Our Vet (Dr Catherine Talley, Smith Veterinary Hospital - the best vet in history!) said they would fix him up for free IF I would keep him (if he lived) Of course I said yes & thank you. They had to amputate about half his lower jaw, wire it all together & create a lip with his skin. They had to pull his teeth because they were rotten.

So, I got him home & we spent a few weeks nursing him back (with meds & food) He finally started to come around. I named him Rudy because I thought he looked like Rudolph the rednosed reindeer (His nose looks super long because his lower jaw is shorter) Also because hes a little fighter (like the guy in that football movie - Rudy)

Anyway, his tongue sticks out the side & looks like Gene Simmons now when he licks ya. He gets along fine with our cats (even if he didnt, whats he gonna do.. gum em!)

So thats how Rudy came into our family.

Update, Rudy's pretty much blind now. But he still gets around fine. We had to adjust his food to a more liquid form because he started having trouble eating solid food (with no teeth).

He's still feisty. he's actually barking at me right now which means it's time for more food.... thanks everyone.
