Hey folks, thanks for stopping by! Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the formation of “Ragtag Rescue, Inc.”. Also yesterday we made our first appeal, for a neglected dog named “Mellow”. You might have seen that when you came in. If not, check it out over here. As of this writing, we’re more than halfway to our goal.
Sidenote: Kate and I are not too happy how GoFundMe used her real name. We’ll do better on the next one; probably be using another service such as YouCaring.com.
Question: I’m thinking about trying to blog here somewhat regularly. What kind of stuff do you want to hear about as it pertains to Ragtag Rescue? Below are a few examples. Please put in the comments at the bottom of this post the sorts of things you’d like to hear about.
InfoTech stuff: Yesterday, we also launched our new website. You’re here! We still need to make some tweaks and add more content. We had been on a very limited and clunky “website builder” platform, and mostly had to have something up initially for IRS 501(c)3 recognition. The new site is a lot more flexible, and endlessly customizable… if one has the time to dig into it.
Animal Rescue stuff: This weekend Ragtag is busy with us doing an event at SPCA of East Texas by showcasing “O’Malley Alley Cats” on Saturday. (I’m allergic to cats, so it’ll be interesting.) Then, on Sunday we have a meeting to go show&tell our trailer and story to one of the bigger rescue/shelters in the area. We would love to sign them as “Rescue Partner”. More on that later probably.
Gearhead stuff: I need to change the oil on the Cummins Onan generator on the trailer. It’s a little past due the initial break-in oil change. Interestingly, it uses “CF” thru “CJ-4” type oil. That’s diesel oil! But Harley Davidson uses the same stuff, so the oil I got delivered by AmazonSmile actually says “Motorcycle Oil”. Also, my standard practice for any motor I run is to put a reusable K&N air filter on it. (Even my push lawnmower has one!) I found they make one for this generator, so I got that delivered too. It’s so much nicer to just clean and re-oil instead of finding & buying a new air filter, and tossing the old one.
So, whaddya think? Please tell me below!

happy birthday, Ragtag!
suggestions for content? i always like to hear about rehabilitating pets who have behavior problems. (if you take in that type of rescue.) i always can use new ideas for handling our mini pack at home.
it’s also always fun to get updates on previous adoptions.
Yay ragtag rescue!! I and Howrd would love to help were possible working the hours we do
But we love love love you and what you do!!!!!
I love the new website! I’d love to see some content specific to Pit Bulls. The problem of dog fighting around here and how those dogs are a product of their mistreatment around here.
