Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and VooDoo Lovers!  Our newest homeless resident arrived at my vet today via his chauffeur, Paula Dunlap.  Paula drove him all the way from Knoxville. She had himz in the back seat but he would had none of that!  Remember, VooDoo was a long haul trucker’s co-pilot so a bit of arranging had to be made.

Paula moved him to the front seat and the drive was smooth sailing all the way north!

VooDoo arrived for his scheduled spa appointment right on time and was whisked away for his extreme makeover!

The folks at my vet office love him and he is already nestled into his bed for the night.  I will pick himz up about 8:30am and travel to Sidney, OH where I will meet the wonderful Kathy.  She will transport him to his forever Mommy, Corey near Toledo.  She lives in Parma, MI!

The good thing about this transport is that VooDoo has traveled his entire life.  His Daddy is probably looking down on all of this with a huge grin on his face and pulling that air horn!  HONK, HONK! Here comes VooDoo to start a new life.

I will have many pictures tomorrow.

More trucking up 1-75 later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Yes, I am a twit!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and breaking news lovers…..

Well, yesterday was a whirl wind of e-mails and coordination regarding a very needy senior boy hound in Knoxville, TN.  His is another sad story.  His name is VooDoo and the only person who ever loved him was a truck driver that was found passed away at a truck stop, apparently of a heart attack.

VooDoo was left at a distant relative’s home, neglected and basically abandoned.  The poor thing not only must be grieving the loss of his loved one but then he is neglected and left to his own devises.  His nails are so long he can barely walk.  The fleas are eating him alive.

Over the course of about 10 hours yesterday a group of us working as a team on facebook found VooDoo a great new Mom that lives in MI.  Her name is Corey.

Marilyn at the HOP was the team leader.  She worked her senior magic for VooDoo.

Paula, who lives in Knoxville, where VooDoo is languishing,  is driving him up to my vet today where he will get a spa treatment and B&B.

I hope everyone is OK with using our 70.00 to get him a bath, a Capstar, clip his nails so he can walk:(, anal gland expression, kennel cough vaccination, and food/lodging for the night.  I can’t risk putting him in my BHV and infesting it with fleas.

I will pick him up in the morning and drive him to middle OH where a woman named Kathy will take him to Toledo to meet his forever Mommy.

Poor guy has been through so much. It’s the least we can do for a new life.  His truckin’ days are over.

This picture was just sent to me from Paula who is now on the road to my vet.

10-4 Good buddy, 10-4!

Keep checking back for more updates.

More helping the helpless later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and sleeping to help the homeless lovers…..

Today, as I have blogged about earlier, the Basset Hound Town Rescue Fund received some doe!  Another donation we received is from Chaps’ family in TX. FIFTY BUCKS!

Here we have a sleeping marathon to help the homeless…..

This is Richard and Bailey.  Clancy is laying in his Mom’s lap elsewhere in the house and did not make the picture but is still participating in the sleeping marathon.

Next we have the Mayor’s son, Colby Chaps!  His Mommy Audra was searching everywhere for himz!

Momma was scouring around the home and in the back yard for himz.  The closet door was closed and the light turned out!  Momma finally found himz!

You can see howl hard he was sleeping for the homeless!

It’s all for a good cause!  The Mayor’s son’s can log some sleep time!

Sleeping for a cause!  We love it!  I think Colby Chaps won the marathon!

We cannot thank you enough for the 50 winks…Or…..I mean bucks!  hehehe

Charlene, Glenn, Bailey, Clancy, Richard, Audra, Mike, Jourdan, Colby Chaps, and Abby!

Check out the fund!

More loving marathon sleeping later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Pupzilla Lovers.  I just love giving a shout out to the hounds that give some doe to our BHT homeless account.  It was so much fun to go to the PO box today and get some doe!  I was laughing and skipping all the back to my BHV!  Woot, Woot!

Thanks Pupzilla of Debbie and the Masterpiece hounds!!!

20 bucks smells so good in the mornin’!

I feel a nice soft couch is in store for our next homeless hound.  We now have a balance of 70.00 in our account!  Hollar!

More loving having a balance later….hehehehe…..Cat, Chaps and Emma!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Patty Lovers.  Well, today Emma went out to lay in the sun which I should have never let her do.  It was just too hot.  Grandma was in the basement and saw her laying on the hot pavers and and hollered up to me, “Get Emma inside now, her patty looks burnt!”

Sure enough the patty was beet red. Grandma grabbed some cold rags and placed them on the patty and her pits.

Then we laid the cool rags on her body which was burning up.

She was really, really red.  Turns out she just had a pretty bad heat rash and after we cooled her down her patty came back to near pristine state.

Boy did I get a long ear full from Grandma.  That was too close for comfort.

More keeping a better watch later.  Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo fellow Basset Hound and bath day lovers.  OK, I am not one of those.  I hate, hate, hate, bath day.  It just is not bath day it is clean your entire home day.  Ugh….

It is hard to take pictures but I captured this one off of a 16 minute video I took.  It is too huge to upload to my blog and who would what to watch it?  OK, it is pretty funny and if I could I would have shared it but again, it is too big.  So, here is a capture I did off the video. We use a concrete mixing pan to wash the kids.  I had my plumber add that hot and cold water attachment that I am using.  The Mayor was so mad.  I got the dirtiest look I have ever gotten in my life.  It’s in the movie.

Poor Mayor…..

Here is Emma after her bath…

She has on her terry cloth snood that I designed and had made for her.  We keep it on for a few minutes while she is drying.  Look howl white she is!  It was actually blinding!

Not to be left out, but he wishes he was, is Chaps in his same terry snood!

As you can see he is still mad…..

Butt Grandma tried to ease the pain…

More loving sweet smelling hounds later…Cat, Chaps and Emma
