Hello Fellow Hound and 3,000 dollar lovers! Devon and Todd just crack me up! They are so cute! Their 5.00 donation pushes the Gold Rush Firstgiving page to 3,000 dollars! It is so fitting that they are the ones to push us to that mile marker.

Can you believe it? 3,000! This is just so heart warming. This is a very emotional day.
The KY derby, the gold snood, and 3 is my lucky number.

I just popped over to kentuckyderby.com to see who the number 3 horse was. If I was at the Derby I would bet on Anak Nakal as well. Just a hunch.

Howllo Fellow Hound and Givers Gain Lovers:

Well Emma is one of the biggest givers I know and I have always heard that, “Giver’s Gain”! Well, it just came true! Kip, Gus and Bonnie just bought the Gold Rush Snood for Emma! Well, I am very emotional today anyway because of my Kentucky Derby, and this has just pushed me over the edge. I usually cry when they sing my Ole Kentucky Home, but the tears came early today. I really am just so touched Kip! Thank you so much. This means more to me than you will ever know. Devon donated the snood, Emma modeled it and Kip bought it for her. Can life get any better? Slurp!

More Later…Cat, Chaps and Gold Rush Snooders Emma!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Derby Picker Lovers:

In post position 20 (the worst), the KY Derby favorite, BIG BROWN is Chaps and Grandpa’s Derby pick. Chaps picked this 3 year old by his name only. He feels a kindred spirit with Big Brown because he is also big and brownish. Currently a 5 to 2 favorite.

In post position 5, the only girl in the race, EIGHT BELLS is Emma, Grandma and my pick. She is a big girl and she can hang with the boys, no problem. Check her out, she has a blond tip on her tail. Grandma said, “Look she has a flag”! Gotta love a big girl with a long shot!

Howllo Fellow Hound and mangie little basset hound lovers!

Yesterday, 5-3-08 I received a message from Devon in CA about a poor little mangie basset hound in a KY pound. Devon wanted to know if I could help the little stinker.

Here is the e-mail she received:
Jimmy picked this dog up on the side of the road Tuesday. He said it was a sweet dog and he didn’t have the heart to put him down. He took
him to the vet and had him treated for sarcoptic mange. Our nights are cold, so I worry about him being in an outside pen.

He is in OSP 1 in Morehead KY at Rowan County Pound 606-784-4930.

Jan – end of e-mail

I made a few phone calls, sent a few e-mails and then I received this telephone message today. Watch the video and hear the message!

I love the internets! hehe

Howllo Fellow Hound and Tattoo lovers: Miami, LA, and London INK have nothing on us. This YouTube video beats anything I have seen on any of these shows. Watch an episode of bassethoundtown.com INK as Kip Massett has the “Lily paw in my hand” tattooed on his arm. Watch as Kip discusses basset hound rescue. Do you want Lily’s paw tattooed on your body? If so e-mail me and I will send your tattoo artist a high resolution image.

Look out Kat Von D, here come Cat Von B(asset)!

Howllo Fellow Hounds and keeping current about issue lovers: Devon has updated bassethoundtown.com about BLOAT. I agree with her that this has to be a forefront issue for the members of our town.

I have added a new page to my Navigation area based upon Devon’s suggestion and internet research. This area is just to the right of what you are reading right now. It is called,
BLOAT (Gastric Torsion) – Links and research provided.

This is so huge to our community as our beloved breed is pre-disposed to this malady. Please take time to read up on it. Devon and I will be adding other links for your education.

BLOAT IS AN EMERGENCY AND NEEDS TO BE TREATED AS SUCH. HOUNDS CAN DIE WITHIN AN HOUR FROM THIS. PLEASE READ!

Thank you Devon for making sure I added this to my website. All hound owners can benefit from this.

More news later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
