Happy Birthday Chaps! 8 years old……

October 17th, 2008 - 8:08 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and it’s Chaps’s birthday lovers:
Our boy is 8 years old today and I can hardly believe it. Being the totally terrific and tubular hound that he is, photo shoots are totally treat filled! LOL! Well, without further ramblings, here is our boy!

He walked right into this shot. I called his name and he turned toward me. As you can see his neck was swaying. Magic I tell you, pure magic!

I took about 80 pictures and many of them were this good, but this one stood out as the best. Here is our 8 year old boy, your Mayor…….Chaps Rudert!

It was my honor to photographic him for his birthday. I hope you all enjoy the pics as much as I do.

Love, Cat, Chaps (the birthday boy) and Emma

P.S. Emma was inside playing with his birthday toy from his son, Colby Chaps. She is such a stinker!

    This photo says “I’m Your Busy Mayor, but I Still Take Time to Stop and Smell the Flowers”

    Also,

    Emma is not a “stinker”, I am sure that our Mayor believes in sharing and making sure that the First Lady of Basset Hound Town is enjoying herself.

    How’s the birthday boy doing on his birthday?

    I hope he doesn’t have to work on his birthday. No one should work on their birthday.

    Hi Maureen, the Mayor is getting ready to have dinner with his grandparents. They have brought him some gifts and I will post some more pictures later. He did not work today! He also received extra treats and lots of pets. Ah…..live is good! Slurp
