Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and YouTube find of the day lovers. I thought this was soooooo cute. I wonder what she is saying to the hound? The hound seems to understand it all.
It is probably something about a treat.
I used to say to my Dad, “Look at Chaps looking at me with love in his eyes”, and my Dad would say, “I think that’s hunger”. hehehe

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Mr. Chewy Lovers….Who is Mr. Chewy you might ask?
I received an e-mail last week from Mr. Chewy offering bassethoundtown a 50.00 coupon in exchange for a truthful and honest blog about my experience with their company. Very interesting! I went over and sniffed around their website and was pretty impressed. Lots and lots of selections which includes not only Chaps food, but Emma’s Royal Canin prescription allergy diet formula. Then the best part, free shipping for orders over 49 dollars.
Say no more! Let me try this service. After all, the Mayor has done so much for others it is time for him to get a biscuit!
The Mayor looks on as his box of food and a special treat are delivered within paw steps of his food dish.
We ordered online via the Mr. Chewy website and it was fast and simple. I also enjoyed the function where you could chat with someone online while I was placing the order. I ordered on a Thursday, received a confirmation that my ordered had shipped that same day and it arrived Saturday morning via Federal Express. SWEET!
No trip to the pet food store, no dealing with the grouchy people who work there, no getting the hairy eyeball for asking for help out to my car, and no walking up and down the stairs bringing up the food in portions that I can carry. In short, no more hassle.
All in all Mr. Chewy was a wonderful experience!
See that sausage roll thing? It is a duck and potato roll. I cut the Mayor off a piece. Emma was in a deep sleep.
I will be ordering from Mr. Chewy again. This is a service I have been looking for. No more heavy lifting for me!
More blogging and honest reviews about Mr. Chewy later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Spring Lovers….I did a blog yesterday about Spring coming in like a lamb but today it was a pride of lions. WOW! All I can say is WOW!
We sure hope this is not a sign of our spring to come.
Here is Grandma with the kids in the storm stair well leading to the basement.
Of course, the Mayor threw up from stress but Emma did perfect. Wade has been working hard on this area to make room for us to sit and boy o boy he finished it right in time.
Looks nice huh? I sit on that step and the kids are between Grandma and I. I didn’t realize howl handy those mop and brooms hooks could be!
All light heartiness aside, we are scared. Last year was bad but we are worried about this year.
Anticipating this I bought a NOAA Weather Radio, several big flash lights, and much more.
I was doing some tweeting while we were in the hall and one of my followers from England said that the BBC was reporting about the northern KY tornados at that very moment. Wow, that was something to read about while we were sipping a bit of wine in the storm shelter.
OK, well we are hoping for the best this storm season. Get prepared and do tornado drills with your families. We do them all the time. All times of the day are different and you have to act calmly and quickly.
More hoping we are all safe later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and on the job lovers. Well, Chaps being the man of the house, has been helping Wade with some jobs on my list. One of the jobs is re-painting my hallway. When Emma was a baby I would keep her in the hallway when I ran errands. She promptly chewed all of the baseboards and scratched all of the doors. I figured since she is now almost 8, I would have that all spruced up. (It’s about time). Plus there is slobber about basset hound high all down the hall way. I think most of the paint has worn off from trying to clean it.
Chaps loves to help and has been assisting Wade for days. He lays and watches every paint stroke. He also worries about it.
Wade had another job to go to today but the Mayor was reporting for work duty on time.
I thought he was so cute this morning. Himz never lays in the hallway and I know for a fact he was waiting for Wade.
The Mayor is a great supervisor. He is currently supervising Emma sleeping.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Flock of Lambs Lovers. This morning it was bright and sunny, a bit windy, but just beautiful. The Mayor went out and much to his surprise he had to tend to his flock. March was coming in like a bunch of lambs!
As soon as they saw him they formed a heart in the background.
Later in morning I put my Itunes on shuffle as I was tending to Emma, our own little lamb, and this song came on first. It might be one of my favorites of all time and oh howl so fitting.
So Serene and Peaceful. Just like today.
Tomorrow we might not be as lucky. March is setting up to be a ruff one. Tomorrow especially.
But today, we enjoy Gustavo Santaolalla and his musical genius.
More hoping for lamb weather as much as possible! Love, Cat, Chaps and little lamb chop!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Leap Year Lovers…..
Wow, howl the winter leaped right past us in bassethoundtown.
Kind of makes us want to jump for joy!
Just like Cherry Pritchard! Cherry lives in Florida!
More Hoppy Leap Years Later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Grandpa lovers. Well, it has been 2 years since we lost our beloved Grandpa. Wow, 2 years. Where does the time go?
It seems like yesterday that Grandpa was teaching an 8 month old Emma howl to walk on a leash. It was so cute. He worked with her every day.
Here is a small video snippet. He loved walking the kids and never missed a day until the end. His favorite time to walk the kids was at the crack of dawn.
Oh howl thankful I am to have these memories….
More loving Grandpa later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and research lovers….
Well, it was not a difficult decision to make, but we are not going to have a liver biopsy done on our Shimlette. Mostly it is because of consulting with the best diagnostician and physician I know, my sister, Cindy. We are so lucky to have her to ask questions of. She is a gastroenterologist with a subspecialty in liver disorders. WOW, HOWL LUCKY ARE WE?
First off, she was horrified that a canine internist would order a liver biopsy after one abnormal blood panel. As a physician, she avoids ordering liver biopsies as much as possible.
She explained that the risk of this procedure extremely overwhelmed any (if any) benefit it may produce. Cindy went on to explain that Emma, being almost 8 with advanced degenerative disc disease, highly allergic and blind should NEVER, EVER be considered for a liver biopsy. Not only does Emma have all of the above, she is totally her normal happy self.
After talking to my sis I recalled that Emma also had a highly allergic reaction to the surgical scrub that was used during her eye removal. We almost lost her.
So….NO! Our Emma will not be having a liver biopsy. My sister prescribed Milk Thistle and a canine probiotic. We will have her blood panel checked in a few weeks and see if she trends down from her high liver enzymes. This will be for reference only.
I am also on a Canine Liver Disorder Forum on Yahoo. I will be reading from many others that are going though the same things with their hounds.
Of course the Mayor is a big help.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Emma’s patty lovers…Today I was packaging up a purchase from my website boutique. I walked into the living room and Emma was showing me her patty. It was soooooo cute.
She was saying…”Mommy look what they did to me….”
I was packing up the order that sold from my boutique and the kids were waiting for Grandma.
Look what one lucky basset hound owner just bought! Some really rare and collectable vintage Boswell figurines!
Oh, I just love them.
Enter Grandma….
RUN…………
Ahhhhhhhhhh…….Baby Emma is so cute.
There is nothing better than Patties and Purchases…
