Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and nice day lovers…Well, Friday was sure one of those.  In anticipation of our Saturday Spa day Grandma and I walked the kids to the park.  Of course I took my furminator!  It was a gorgeous day!

If you are wondering why the kids are looking at me with such love in their faces, wonder no more…It was hunger!

Momma always carries treats to the park!  The white bag in the tree is a bag of water.  We always stop near the water fountain.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh………Peace, Love, Drool and Rye Bread!

What a lovely spot to love on the kids and get some furminating done in anticipation of spa day!

I did the heavy lifting and furminated Chaps………..

Grandma did our petite flower, Emma.  She said it was like raking bones.

More peace, love, drool, rye bread, and furminating later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Emma Rudert inspiring lovers…

Every Time she enters the public she wows the crowd.  Everyone gathers round to hear her story.  Emma is loved by all.

It is my glory and honor to have her as my doghter.  I fight back tears as we walk on this path called life and see the folks that embrace herz….

Of course she is leading every step of the way.  Emma, a true hound and soul that inspires….

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and SPA Day Lovers….

OMD – Howl many ways can I tell you howl I hate SPA days for the Hounds?  It might be the worst days of my life.  I am just being honest.  I hate, hate, hate it.  I am such a putz.

So, I am trying to hype myself up. Today I took my furminator to the park in an effort to prepare for SPA day.

All of the white fur balls are just the first pass of the furminator.  I have about 4 more furminator passes to go….

I feel awful, I need to do SPA days more often.  It’s not just washing the hounds it is also washing the home…I hate deep cleaning.  I started today.  Slobber off the wall and all…….

More reporting on SPA day later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and paying off the Blue Eyed Boys Bills Lovers!  I am so excited to report that BJ, Gary, Charlie, Otis, Zoey and Phelps have donated 50 dollars towards the Blue Eyed Boys Bills.  Look at this cute card!

Now we have 135.00 dollars towards the 150.00 bill.  But get this!  I know more doe is coming in.  I really think more doe is also coming that we can put towards our next homeless basset hound town resident!  I know you all know I will spend it wisely.

Get this…..

Turns out Mikey and Stewie are not food aggressive at all.  They were just starving.  Their foster family reports that they are eating fine together.  They just need to know that food will be coming on a regular basis.  That just breaks my heart that these guys were starving.  I could tell when Grandma and I fed them.  Our eyes were as wide as saucers as they ate.  We gave them twice what we feed the kids.  I know that is why they slept so good that night in my basement.  A cool, quite place on a hot summer night with a full belly.  Life was and is good!

I love basset hound rescue.  We as humans have those long basset backs!

Thanks BJ and everyone that gave and will!  All the rescue cases are different but one thing is the same.

BASSET HOUNDS ARE HUNGRY!  LOL!

More reports later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Mayor Lovers…

Today I was sitting at the dining room table going through some bills.  Of course I had my camera near by.  Chaps was laying in his office, the kitchen.  I was staring at him, thinking howl handsome he was as he slept.  Such a grand, gentle hound.  He just makes me smile.

Then he looked up as if he felt my stare.

Or maybe he felt my sigh……Just another moment in time.  A moment of love.  Or as my Dad would have said, a moment of hunger!  LOL

More moments later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and remembering Chloe Lovers…..

I was just looking through my IPhotos for pictures that I am turning in for the 2011 Sr. Hounds Abound calendar!  This is the picture I picked for 10-10-11.  That will be Grandma’s 81st birthday!

Chloe was such a great hound.  She had the cutest little spot of white fur right on her left haunch area.  We used to call her little cotton tail.

More loving memories of our Rama hound, young Drama hound later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and wanting to hear the black bandanna finale lovers…..

Remember I said I was going to trash the black bandanna?  Well, I forgot, that is until Emma reminded me.  Emma has something we call the drip bark.  We call it that because it is like when a water facet drips.  DRIP, DRIP, DRIP……

When Emma does this bark we all know that she wants something or wants something moved. When I hear it I rush to her side.

This is Emma drip barking…

This is me rushing to her side…..But Grandma beat me!

Wait, What?  Emma is drip barking at the dreaded black bandanna!  Grandma heard it too and came out the garage door.

Gotta love a Grandma….

Then Chaps came running over.  “Get that thing outta here, stay away Emma…”

She must have listened because right after that she left the scene.

Bye Bye Black Bandanna….

FINALLY……

More drip barking later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and almost 100% lovers…..

Well, this morning Chaps, Emma and I were having a special love in session and things were almost back to normal.  The Mayor even went to his toy pile and gently pulled his favorite toy out to nibble on.

While he was enjoying his morning I went back to hose down the back patio so I could try to rid the place of the dreaded other hounds smells.  I know, I know, that is next to impossible.

So, I let the Mayor out and he was on a mission.

He ran to the fence line first and then abruptly headed for the lounge chairs….

Within seconds of running out he did this….

Then this……

Then I got this dirty look…..

Dang….I took Stewie’s black bandanna off because I did not want it catching on anything.

I had a lot of explaining to do and a batch of tater tots to bake.  Oh, and one black bandanna to throw away!

More almost back to 100% later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
