We made it! The tornado warning is over for us!

June 3rd, 2008 - 3:03 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and skirting tornado lovers: Wow, that was close. We were right to the north of the most severe weather some of which was golf ball sized hail and 100 mile and hour winds. The sirens were going off and Chaps was so upset, bless his heart. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are all OK. Thanks for caring!

OMG! Bassethoundtown under tornado warning until 4:00pm

June 3rd, 2008 - 2:02 pm KY Time

OMG! We are under a tornado warning. There is a huge bow echo heading our way. Our weather guy said that we never see this type of echo in our area. There is wind at 90 miles per hour. I will be logging off very soon. I have Chaps and Emma’s emergency kit by the door. We will head to the basement as necessary.

Do you want to see our radar?

Here is a bow echo.

CINCINNATI – NORTHERN KENTUCKY DOPPLER RADAR

Drool for us.

“Someone” just had a potty mistake in the sunroom.

June 3rd, 2008 - 1:01 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and not loving the potty mistake inside lovers: OMG, I had to LOL! I walked into the sun room to check the front yard flowers. As you know from my first blog posting of the day, it is storming in bassethoundtown. Anyway, since Emma was a pup I have laid a water-proof pad with a towel over it by the sunroom door. When Emma was a pup, if I did not catch her standing by the door within a nano second, she would squat.

Now I keep it there for several reasons.

1.) For the kids to wipe their feet after they come in from the front patio area.

2.) For Emma when she first went blind. She would get confused and scared and use that area for tinkling. That has all but ended.

3.) For rare mistakes, like if “someone” does not want to go out in the rain!!!! (Keep in mind they can go out the back dog door and go potty on a covered porch).

Who is that “someone” you ask. I guess we will never know. Both kids followed me out and Voila, a tinkle spot on the rug. As I looked down, they both looked up at me. Of course Emma was just pointing her head in my direction. Then I say, in a low voice, “Oh no!!!! Who tinkled on the matt? Oh nooooooo, that’s a no – no!!!!”

Then what totally cracked me up is, they both went to their bed with their tail between their stubby legs and went belly up as if it were choriographed by an expert. It was so funny. I had to lay down with them and rub bellies! That’s how we roll! Belly rubs for bad behavior!

My goodness, we can’t have wet paws????

Soooooo, the question remains. Who is that “someone”? Chaps and Emma aren’t telling, they just cover for each other.

More detective work later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S.

I am going to be putting most of these snoods in my boutique soon. They are just beautiful. This is a very old video. I did not make them go out there in the ran. I had just cleaned it prior to filming. Wow, it is kind of crazy to see Emma fully sighted. I really miss those eyes.

This is a video that shows what my front area looks like. My Dad calls it the, “Ladies Room”! LOL!

Chaps is crying!!!!

June 3rd, 2008 - 8:08 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and Chaps lovers: Poor Chaps. We are surrounded by thunder storms today and he is so frightened by them. He just cries and cries. He also pants and pants. Nothing can comfort him. Sometimes he tries to lay on top of Emma for some reason. All you can see is her head peeking out.

The storms do not bother Emma in the least. She is fine with them, she always has been.

Chaps lived at BoBac Bassets in TX from birth until he was 3 and a half. He was in a back kennel structure that was made of metal. I bet storms were crazy loud in that thing. That could be why he so frightened.
I will keep his fans posted. Anyone have any suggestions to ease his pain? I have tried almost everything except medication. I do not want to do that.
More storms later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

June is busting out all over!

June 1st, 2008 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and June lovers: Of course I had to go to YouTube and find this video. It is over 8 minutes long, but you can at least listen to the song, if you don’t want to watch the entire video. The dancing at about the 5 minute mark is totally wonderful.

Wow, what a wonderful production and song. How come there is nothing like this anymore?

Emma and Chaps open their package!

May 31st, 2008 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and package lovers! I was so excited when a package came for Chaps and Emma from their Aunt Audra in TX. Emma has been a bit down and I was sure this would perk her up! Emma has many loves in her life. Here they are in order:

1.) Mommy
2.) Food (this maybe number 1, but I am in denial)
3.) Chaps
4.) Visitors
5.) New toys
6.) Walks
7.) Car rides

So, I opened the package to find number 5 on her list! I have to thank Audra’s Mom, Charlene for the toys. Audra’s Mom, is honorary Grandma to my kids.

Emma ran to her bed with her new duck toy. It was so cute how she made it quack. I think Chaps was a bit frightened by the sound at first, but his curiosity got the best of him and he played with it as well.

Then Emma stole the pick wedge sandal from Chaps. He really took to that toy. The Mayor is in touch with his feminine side! LOL

Thank you so much Charlene. I will alway cherish the note you wrote as well. We love you!

Annika breaks the record for gold rush donation:)

May 30th, 2008 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and record breaking lovers! Breaking news just in! I received a package in the mail today from Annika of Oak Hill VA. This is her hound Murphy! He is so excited about the gold rush!

These packages are always so much fun to open and drool over! The total for the gold that I turned in from Annika is….Drum roll please:

$381.90 – PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR FIRSTGIVING PAGE!

OMG, OMG, OMG! This is not it folks, I am selling items in the HOP boutique sent from Annika that could raise over $200.00 or more!
KEEP READING AND SHOPPING!

As you can see, it is quite the bounty! Gold was down a little bit today, but my jeweler gave me the going rate from last week since this was all going to charity! Thanks Renee and Vince of Ft. Thomas Jewelers!

Within this bounty is a platinum ring with 2 large pink sapphires. This item alone brought in a whopping $244.80 dollars!

The middle stone was missing and reported as such by Annika. Folks, my jeweler’s jaw dropped when I pulled this out of the bag for him to price. He said, “My goodness, basset hound people are so generous!” Annika, we cannot thank you enough. I had my jeweler remove the pink sapphires and I will add them to the container charm I am working on for the end of gold rush auction.

Yes folks, for those of you with an eagle eye, that is a basset hound 14K gold charm. Of course Annika did not send this golden hound to be scrapped, that would be sacrilegious! This golden hound is in the HOP gift shop.

Check this out. (THIS IS JUST A COMPARISON LINK!)

I found the exact same charm on the internet and it goes for 186.35!

Here is the link to the HOP boutique on my site if you wish to purchase it.

LINK TO THIS LISTING IN THE HOP BOUTIQUE ON MY WEBSITE!

We are offering it for the low, low price of 95.00.
This includes a free 10 pack of
basset hound town greeting cards, a 20.00 value.

100% of the sale will go to the HOP. When you purchase this charm on my site the money will go directly to HOP. Marilyn will e-mail me and I will mail you the charm and the greeting cards.

Moving right along, Annika sent another charm that was toooooo cute to scrap. It is a small 14K gold teddy bear! It is adorable. It is hollow. The detail is fantastic and the fun factor is off the charts!

Look at this little buddy! How cute is this? Folks, I cannot find anything this cute on the internet. Anything remotely similar is about 140.00. This is a dandy item! Look, the Teddy has a bow tie on! How cute! None of the charms are near this size or in this 3D detail. It is hollow, but it is big and in perfect shape. I am going to sell it for the same price as the basset charm and offer the basset hound town greeting card package. Here is the link:

14K GOLD TEDDY BEAR CHARM

We also have these 4 charms (2 of each) in the HOP boutique. I just love them. Where there is gold on the charm, it is 14K. The charms are cloisonne balls and cubic zirconia hearts. I just love them. (did I already say that?) LOL! Here is the link to their page in the HOP boutique.

LINK TO PAWSOME CHARMS! (still working, looking for pricing)

What a wonderful way to end the week! This donation is just pawsome and it will keep on giving! Please shop HOP on my website! It is the perfect way to donate your money. 100% goes to HOP paypal. It is my honor and pleasure to help out in this fashion.

You keep giving and I will keep HopPing to the jewelery store!

Chaps and Emma just got a package in the mail!!!???!!!

May 30th, 2008 - 7:07 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and getting packages in the mail lovers: OMG! Last night I wrote how Emma was not feeling too great. She has been hearing all the spring sounds with the windows wide open and it is soooooo confusing to her. She runs, and tries to look out the window. It is hard to watch.

However, we will really start the weekend off on a positive note especially since we received this package from Aunt Audra in TX!

Please check back later because I want to wait to open it when Emma is awake.

This is so much fun!

More fun, pictures, and love later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
