Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and going to the Cincinnati Art Museum with your nephew lovers!  OK, I do need to leave my home every now and then.  I do hate it just as much as the Mayor! He took to his office worry bed!

But I did have fun with my nephew Julian! We sat and enjoyed the art!

Here is a picture of him and his Mommy, my sis!

We could not get home quick enough!

From worry bed to fixing dinner.  Life is good!

More getting home quick later!  Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Enrique Iglesias lovers…..Oh dear me, all the Rudert girls have summer crushe on Enrique!  He is so dreamy.  So, after he appeared on The Today Show a few Fridays ago we have been dancing to this song every since.  I have my lap top in the kitchen and and we laugh and make dinner for the kids.  Emma barks the entire time and does her own dancing.  It is so cute! But as soon as that bowl is set down she forgets all about her summer crush!

Here is the behind the scenes Youtube of our favorite dinner party dance song……

Chaps just looks at us funny!

We just fun around and call himz little Enrique!

Here is our summer crush with his hound…..

Do you have a summer crush?  Do tell!!!!!!

More summer crushes later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Hangin’ with the Mayor Lovers! We are all chillaxin’ watching a bit of tube, surfin’ the net and capturing moments.  As I was researching the

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Caught in the act lovers!  Well, last night we were all watching TV, or napping as the case may be…..

Emma usually is in for the night at this point but she rolled over and seemed to be sniffing the air.  I swear, I think I have a spirit in my home that loves to cook.  We call her the old lady because she is constantly baking chocolate cakes, but that is an entirely other blog.

So, Emma is sniffing the air and she gets up and wanders down the hall.  OK no biggie.  She has to go potty.  I totally forget about her for about 10 minutes.  OK, now that is strange.  Where is our Emma?

Well, I found her in my bedroom, standing on an ottoman, with her head in Chaps’ dog food bag!  This is the picture from this morning when she was checking to see if it was still there!

Of course Chaps’ had to take a look.

Look at Emma’s gut!  It looked like she swallowed a mini basketball.  Oh Emmers………

Herz hit the Mother-load!  Poor Mayor!  Mamma gave himz a bit of the bounty!

Oh, and one more thing.  This morning I had a piece of bread in the toaster. If the bread is really thin it can pop out of the toaster and land on the floor.  I went back into the kitchen and my toast was toast!  Emma was standing under the toaster and wagging her tail.  I saw a few crumbs on her shiny black lips.

More gaining a few pounds later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Hey Cat
do you have any advice for someone looking to adopt a senior basset here in Gresham Oregon? We had our Short-T for 12 years and he passed in his sleep 5 years ago. Now that my kids are all grown up except my last one whose 12 we have decided it is time to love another. I just don’t wanna buy from a puppy mill or some crazy you know! We search the shelters weekly but nothing so far.
thankful for any advice you can help with.
Lisa

Cat L. Rudert July 25 at 9:43pm

I will certainly look into it. Wow, Oregon is a fur piece from KY! Howl ever I know folks all around this great county. There is nothing like a Senior that is for sure! Nice to hear from you! Be back in touch soon!

Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Lisia Lopez July 25 at 9:46pm

THANKS A MILLION!! We are just sitting on edge waiting to find our baby, we know he’s or she’s out there somewhere needing a big hug and a queen size bed to cuddle in!! LOL
Love, Lisa and JB

CAT HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I just downloaded the application, hope it doesn’t take too long!!! Im so excited!!! You are awesome!!!

Cat L. Rudert July 25 at 10:08pm

Wow, looks like a few to pick from and they are a basset hound rescue which are very good. You are also close to CA that has a few rescues but probably pretty far away. WA state has 2 I think. Let me give you my rescue link so you can see it state by state.

I am hear to ask any questions!

Lisia Lopez July 25 at 10:13pm

Thank you so much Cat, I felt like I was on this mad woman search for days. We have been to the shelter every week for like 2 months. Then today my friend sent me a link that was 2 months old and they were all gone. Now I feel like I have some hope! JB was only 7 when Short-T passed but my other 4 were just as devistated because they had raised him. I feel like its time now, especially with my son being the last in the home he gets so lonely and a new baby would just tie us all back up again!! I sure miss my Short-T though he was my world!! That dog had his own chair at the dinner table, dog food of course, but still had a place!
Talk to you soon be blessed!
Ps I’ll send pics as soon as I have some!!!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Hero Lovers!  Yes, we have another hero in bassethoundtown!  His name is Gary Porter and he is the husband of BJ Porter.  You might recognize her name more than his.  BJ and Gary came to visit BHT after he was honored in Washington DC for his art and his service to his country.  Here is the blog I did a while back about their visit!  But the tribute video is below.  Make sure you click on it.   His tribute is so special and touching….

THE MAYOR AND EMMA HAD SPECIAL VISITORS!

But more importantly I want to share this video of howl Gary was honored for his talent and service to our country in a special ceremony in Washington, DC.

GARY PORTER HONORED FOR HIS SERVICE AND TALENT!

This video is about 15 minutes long and worth every second.  I know you will enjoy honoring one of our heros in bassethoundtown.

Here is BJ, Gary’s wife reading the Lily book to her grand kids with her beautiful Sadie…ATB and niece of Emma.

More loving HEROS later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Resident Lois Lovers!  Our very own resident Lois has been attending some really cool adoption events for Mid-Atlantic Basset Hound Rescue.

Lois states,

“Here are the pix from today’s adventure…made a lot of $$$ and the kids program went well…everyone ended up decked out in Dr. masks which was a big hit & we listened to our hearts as well with a donated stethoscope!

As you can see we get bike customers, walk ins, etc….

Pony rides, beautiful flowers, great acapella group from the high school today…

All in all a great time was had by all…

No dogs were adopted but I think Russell the baby goat was…he belongs to Bonita one of our volunteers..he was a week old & hung out at the booth for a bit too.

& for a $1 buster would sing for you OR you could hold russell..we are the flexible rescue if nothing else,

Lots of folks are coming back next week for more info!

End of Lois update!

Hey Lois, please leave some more information in the comment section for us.  I am just so thrilled howl Mid-Atlantic has such great volunteers such as yourself.  It just is so heart warming.  I asked Lois if Frankie was there but he was not there this weekend.  Also, please tell us about the book you read to the children.

More from Lois later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
