Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Uniform Lovers!  FYI – I love uniforms!  I have certain outfits that I wear constantly and consider them my uniforms.  I just love certain pieces of clothing and I wear them over and over!  In the past 2 months if you have seen me out I have on my VMI hoodie and black pants.  It has something to do with pride.

Well, now I have a new uniform!  LOL!  However, I am not giving up my old one.  Everyone needs several uniforms!

I bought it from the ABC SLOBBER SHOP!

I am so excited to have a new uniform!  Here is a close up of the front of the hoddie!  Don’t cha just love it?

This hoddie is so cute and shiny!  Those are rhinestones! The pants are just pawsome!  I might have to stock up on both items!

More loving uniforms later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and new basset hound bed lovers!  Chaps son, Colby Chaps, sent me this picture of the new bed he got for Christmas!  The thing about it, is that it is not very comfortable.  Also, he cannot figure out why Mommy keeps walking on his bed.

So to keep Mommy off of his bed and her attention firmly focused on himz he lays right in the middle!  For hours at a time!

Oh Colby Chaps!  You are so smart.  Your Mommy told me that she actually felt sorry for you and moved a comfortable mat on top of the tread mill so it would not be so hard on your body.  Now that is what tread mills are for!  Sleeping and hanging clothes.  hehehehe

More napping on his new bed later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Three Generations of Basset Hound Sleeper Lovers!  I had to LOL this morning when I opened this e-mail.  It is of Colby Chaps showing that he is just as good at sleeping as his Daddy and Grand Daddy!  hehehehe

So, if you are keeping up since last night you have seen Magnum sleeping, then today Chaps sleeping and now Colby Chaps sleeping. We call this picture, 2 beds are better than 1!

Three generations of basset hound sleepers!  Ah, I can smell the sleep stink from here!

Have you guys ever noticed that?  An odor that hounds emit sometimes while sleeping?  I call it the sleep stink.

More questioning nature later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and stay in bed all day day lovers!  Do you ever have a stay in bed all day day?  Lord, I have not had one of those in years and still probably won’t, but I am going to try.  I have my laptop, my phone, my remote, oh…and my hounds.  We had to get up so the hounds could make a pit stop earlier.  Oh howl we hated that!

I don’t hink Emma’s front paws left that little step!  Then we all rushed right back to bed and tucked in!

I turned my laptop around and captured this shot of the Mayor.  Emma is under the covers to my right so she is not available at this time!  Maybe later.  We have all day to wait for the perfect shot.  We might even tune in to the Super Bowl after a long nap. I might have to get up for snacks!

More staying in bed all day day later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Chaps Daddy Lover…

I am so in love with Chaps Daddy.  He lives in Florida and his name is Magnum. He just turned 13 years old.  His Mommy just sent me this picture of himz sleeping!

Magnum has his own room with his own bed.  He is so loved by Karen and Tim.  I have not had the pleasure of  meeting Magnum but I sure hope I can.  I look at Magnum and think…..That is Chaps Daddy!

You sure can tell from this picture that the apple does not fall far from the tree.

It is so interesting that Chaps has the same graying ears.  Our Chaps is almost totally white on the face now.

OK – here is one more picture of Chaps Daddy….

Can you believe it?  I am just so overwhelmed with this.  Look at Big Daddy!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and bassets as baby bear cub lovers.  Our Emma seems so sleepy. She seems like a hibernating baby bear cub!  Here she is this morning.  I just had to capture it!

I was just wondering about something.  Since she went blind Emma seems to sleep more.  Do you think that it is because when she dreams she sees Chaps and I?  I know this may seem a funny question but I was just wondering???

More wondering later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Ever since our Emma went blind I noticed that she like to sleep a bit more.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Snowpocalpyse lovers… I am not sure many of my readers are one of those but like it or not it is upon us.  The House of Puddles has been hit hard.  At noon today Marilyn had 23” and it was still snowing.

This was a picture she took this morning…She called it “Officially snowed in!”

Oh my!  Now that is some snow!  I had to LOL  at this U-Turn picture!

It looks like a few brave souls ventured out!

Then Marilyn got the pavers shoveled off much to Buttermilks delight!

Here is Coltrain playing in the snow.  This is just priceless….

I bet the belly region is chilly!

I had to LOL I was belly aching about our snow!  Coltrain is my new hero!

More checking into House of Puddles later! Love, Cat, Chaps and and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and tater tot lovers!  Well, we are in the path of the Eastern Snow Storm and we are all hunkered down.

Burger Boy Extraordinarily Handsome is skittish about the weather!  This is him acting all concerned. I was out on the tiny back deck trying to get a picture of him with the snow in the background.  He was having none of it!

Oh just forget it!  I am going in to toast the TOTS!

Let the junk food begin!  6” are predicted.

I sure hope we have enough Taters!

More loving TOTS later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

SOLD – SOLD – SOLD

TO KIP MASSETT AS A SURPRISE VALENTINE FOR

SOMEONE!

SOLD – SOLD – SOLD

THE FIRST PERSON TO BUY THIS WILL BE THE WINNER.  I WILL GO BY E-MAIL TIME!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Valentine’s Day Kit Lovers!  This just in from our Emma!  She has an idea to sell a Valentine’s day kit!  It’s everything you need for a relaxing time on Valentine’s day!  Go ahead and treat yourself to a fun day!

The book was donated by Kip Massett of Basset Hound Town.  I thought it was odd he bought the kit, but it is a surprise for someone very special!

First, Emma has a Harlequin Romance novel for you to indulge yourself with.  It is called…..

Anyone but You by Jennifer Crusie
(Harlequin L&L, $3.50, R) ISBN 0-373-44004-

HERE IS A REVIEW I FOUND ON THE NETS BY DEDE ANDERSON……

Okay, I admit it … I was an unbeliever. I’d been hearing good things about Jennifer Crusie for a few years, but I just sort of ignored them. Well, from now on I’ll be the one singing her praises because I just finished her newest book, ANYONE BUT YOU, in Harlequin’s Love and Laughter line.

To be honest, even after perusing the blurb on the back on the book I really didn’t think it sounded all that intriguing. Divorced woman (with crazy friend) gets new dog (basset hound) meets man, doesn’t want to get involved, blah, blah…

So skip the blurb and start reading. I did, and when I was finished, I wanted to rush out and tell all my friends about it — just as soon as my side stopped hurting from laughing so hard.

Newly divorced after 16 years of marriage, Nina Askew is enjoying her freedom, her new job and her new apartment, when she decides to adopt a perky puppy. What she gets is a basset hound. (Okay, part beagle.)

But her new dog, Fred, is definitely not perky; he’s “part manic-depressive,” “aero-dynamically challenged” and addicted to Oreos. But the good news is … Fred brings home to Nina a sexy, downstairs neighbor, Alex Moore. (Sure beats bringing your slippers.)

And Nina and Alex are perfect for each other, although Nina doesn’t think so because Alex is a tad bit younger. (Actually, make that quite a bit younger.) And Nina is also pretty busy straightening out her man-crazy best friend and revitalizing the stuffy publishing company she works for.

I probably haven’t made ANYONE BUT YOU sound all that funny. But here’s an example of Jennifer Crusie’s dialogue:

“You’re sure it’s over? Maybe he’s just having second thoughts because you’re both getting serious. Maybe…”
“I caught him in bed with his secretary. I don’t think she was taking dictation. Not with what she had in her hand, anyway.”

Jennifer Crusie spins an original tale. (Not only is Alex younger, but neither he nor Nina want children — GASP!) In fact, it’s so original that I guarantee (have I ever done THAT before?) it will charm and delight. And did I mention that it also has perhaps the hottest love scenes — page for page — that you will find anywhere?

I read recently that Jennifer Crusie is working on her first single title. I can hardly wait because, in my mind, add another 100 or so pages, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips will be facing some real competition for those fans that love a fast-paced, hilarious, sexy read. Let the games begin!

I’m a believer now.
