Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Sunday Morning Mayor Lovers: This morning I was in my office checking e-mails and Chaps was getting ready to go down the steps. He was perched for the longest time between two steps just stretching and stretching. Of course, my mind does not work unless it involves a camera so I grabbed my camera and just as I was about to snap his cute stretching…..

He moved……

He moved to the lower level to carry on with his morning routine….no pictures allowed! LOL

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

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and curling up on the couch with basset hound lovers: Tonight’s movie pick is one of my all time favorite flicks. I know, I say that about all of the movies I pick, but this one…..can’t be beat.

The World of Suzie Wong. I know I have seen it about 5 times but I am going to watch it again tonight.

UPDATE – YOU TUBE REMOVED THE VIDEO! SO SAD. I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY DO THAT. WHO IS BUYING THIS MOVIE? WHO HAS EVEN EVER HEARD OF IT? JERKS!

In the first installment you seen that ferry boat heading for Hong Kong. I was on that same boat back in 1993. I went to Hong Kong with Grandma and Grandpa. It looked exactly like that. Back then I was taking slides so I have a zillion slides, just no pictures. I have to find a way to convert them. They are so good.

Let me know if you like it.

More Hong Kong memories later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and “Uncle Frank” Lovers….You sure will be one of those after you see this video. Howl cool to start off the weekend with laughter. I cannot image what that baby was thinking. Lucky kid….

Many Frank lovers may know of Frank with Sarah. Well, the wonderful Sarah passed just recently and went over the rainbow bridge. RIP Sarah. You brought such joy to those of us who loved you on YouTube. You really touched my life.

More of Frank later…..God, I love that hound!, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Emma’s nesting technique lovers…..

I know, I know, I have shown our dear residents pictures upon pictures of Emma under her blankee. However, I never get tired of them. As a matter of fact, I think I should start a separate sub-blog called: EMMA’S NESTS

LOL! Only someone as obsessed with my kids as I am would even think about that. It would be cute, huh?

I walked out to the living room just now and this is what I saw! I did not touch her blanket one bit. She did this all by her sweet little long self.

Our Emma, never ceases to amaze me. That’s the hard part of working out of one’s home. You just want to jump in and snuggle.

Maybe later….

More nesting pictures later and maybe a sub-blog. LOL, love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and A+ lovers! Our boy did so good today. True to form he marched into school with a spring in his step, ears flying!

Here is the Mayor waiting not so patiently at the door to be buzzed in!

Then it was right to the back packs that lined the floor. He was sure he smelled something really good! (See the Lily Book?)

Off we go to the Mayor’s stage of stardom! Ears still flying. He could not go fast enough. Look at Grandma trying to keep up with him!

This is where Chaps feels right at home! Center Stage! LOL – Of course Grandma wants to make sure he does not venture off of the stage! hehe

Next the kids filter in and a fun time is had by all. I would have to say that Chaps was one of the kids that had the most fun!

He sat right in front of me the entire time and the teachers were amazed with him. My goodness, he is such a natural!

We had so much fun and the Lily book was a hit. I have to tell you guys that I get there early when all the Moms are bringing in the kids in the mini vans. They all wait in a line to drop off their child. I walk Chaps right in the grassy area next to the drop off line and as cold as it was today, I have about 50 kids hanging out of car windows cheering and clapping. It was so cute.

Wow, Chaps was born for this. I need to get him and Emma to more schools.

More spot light news later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and going to school lovers! Well, Chaps is sure one of those. Chaps is going to read the Lily Book to a pre-school today. You would not believe how much this guy loves to go to school. But first, we better wash his face.

Every child needs a clean face for school! All spit shined and ready to go!

Then Mr. Larger than Life, helps Mommy sign a few books.

This particular school invites us every year around the holidays. We donate 5.00 from the sale of every book to their charity. Plus Emma sends extra copies of the Lily book for kids that might not be able to afford one. Emma is so thoughtful.

As soon as I open the door to the school Chaps gets so excited. His tail points to the sky and it looks like he is walking on a trampoline. He gets a bounce in his step that never happens unless he is in a school.

All I can say is that these are some really lucky kids today. They also better know how to duck. The Mayor can sling slobber all the way back to the chalk board! Mama is so proud!

More trampoline tours later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Jethro Lovers! I just learned from a bassethoundtown resident that our very own Jethro is up for basset of the week on the Daily Drool. It is such a cute contest that takes place every week on the Daily Drool!

Here is the link to vote:

Here is a picture of our very own Jethro getting his ears measured by his Mommy for our official archive of basset hound ear measurements…..

So far this boy has the longest ears in our archives! Can you believe howl cute he is?

I could just kiss that grayish face…..

Don’t forget to vote on the Daily Drool….Thanks Maureen for letting us know!

More loving Jethro later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow basset hound and meat loaf lovers! I know, I know….meat loaf you say? Yes, yes, I make the best meat loaf in the world. I would put my meat loaf up against any meat loaf in the world and I bet I would win. I am not the bragging type but when it comes to my kids and my meat loaf you better not mess with me! LOL! I had planned on doing a blog about the recipe as I was making it with pictures but time really got away from me. It is kind of a traditional birthday meal that I make for my family. Tonight we celebrated my sister’s birthday (Julian’s Mom).

Julian presented his Mommy with a platter of cupcakes after dinner. I bought him a bright blue spider man cupcake, hence the blue teeth….

If I ever learn of a meat loaf challenge I will not only take it, but I will win it!

More blue teeth and best meat loaf in the world lovers later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. I will do a photo blog of my recipe very soon. I am stuffed but I feel hungry just thinking about it! hehehe
