Friday, June 15 was a beautiful summer day in comparison to that of June 1 when a tornado hit Central and Western Massachusetts.  June 15th was the day that Cajun was well enough to be discharged from Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine’s Hospital for Large Animals.

Cajun won his race and was well enough to leave the hospital after being injured by a piece of wood that entered his leg during the tornado that destroyed the barn he was in.  The wood entered the joint of his right rear leg tearing the tendon sheath.  It wasn’t until June 2, when Cajun arrived at Tufts and was immediately operated on to remove the wood.  He has undergone subsequent surgeries.  As the wound healed and pieces of wood came closer to the surface surgeries were performed with the aid of ultrasound to ensure all the wood was removed.

We’ve all had splinters and know what it feels like, but in the case of a horse an injury of this type can be fatal if all the wood isn’t removed.  With the help of ultrasound, these fragments could be seen and then removed.

Cajun is now at the Ross Haven Farm working on getting back in shape and enjoying the breeze blowing on his face.

Hungry Hound Bakery is proud to be a sponsor of the 2011 Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. “Hog Wild for K9s” Charity Motorcycle Ride on September 11, 2011 at Middleboro Elks Lodge, 24 High Street, Middleboro, MA.

This special event plays an important role in building awareness of the valuable contributions made by law enforcement K9s in the community. Event proceeds will purchase bullet and stab protective vests for police dogs.

The forum features local business tabletop displays, a barbeque, live entertainment and a networking opportunity with other like minded businesses and supporters following the motorcycle ride.

THANK YOU for any donation you can make to help the Kass family bring Cajun home safe!

We are working to bring the Kass family’s beloved paint, Cajun, home to their Brimfield farm after he was seriously injured by the tornado that struck the area on June 1st. The storm destroyed the Kass family home, their barn, and killed one of Cajun’s pasture mates, a beautiful gelding named Dakota

After a dozen volunteers spent hours clearing the path for a horse trailer, Cajun was brought by the Animal Rescue League of Boston to the renowned Cummings School of Veterinary at Tuft’s University for treatment. Cajun has already undergone several lengthy surgeries, and further treatment is still needed. Once Cajun gets a clean bill of health from Tufts, he will have to undergo extensive equine rehabilitation before he is able to return home to his familiar green fields, loving family, and surviving pasture mates, Dragon and Mouse.

100% of your contribution will be put towards the costs incurred in treating Cajun and returning him back to proper health – and home. It will be a heartwarming day when the Kass family welcomes Cajun back, and the joy will undoubtedly be felt by all of this close knit family: both the human and the equine members.

Have you ever thought who the hound in this business is?  You might also be wondering why there’s no picture to go with the “About Us” section.  Well, the hound’s name was Susie, and she was very camera shy.   Susie had a rough beginning when I adopted her and here is her story.

Seven years ago, I came across this 2-year-old female beagle available for adoption through BREW (Beagle Rescue, Education and Welfare) which then became known as Beagles of New England States (BONES)  (www.bonesbeagles.org).  I immediately applied for Susie and received word that I could visit her at her foster home.  I drove to western Massachusetts to meet the little girl.  Susie was very shy and timid.  The only way I could say “hello” was to sit on the floor with my back to her and my hands on the floor behind me.  Susie would then come and sniff my hands.  After a brief visit, I drove home knowing that as shy as she was, she was going to be mine.  I confirmed with BONES that Susie was the beagle for me.  Once her vet care and spaying were all complete, I got word that she was ready to be adopted.
