Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Hallowweeenie lovers! A friend of mine who lives in CA just sent this picture of her dear, dear baby boy named Jax! Guess what? He is somehow related to Chaps and Emma! I say somehow, because I can never figure that stuff out! But I can figure this out!

Back when dinohounds roamed the earth they were probably not this cute! hehehe

Just adorable! Thanks Cheyney for sending in this pic of your baby boy!

More baby dinohounds later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Fuh and Yuh Lovers. For some reason we cannot find their website????

Howl ever they sent this picture to basset hound town a few years ago. I thought it would be cute to show in our Howlloween fun area!

I followed Fuh and Yuh for years before I started my website. I wonder where they are? Does anyone know? Their link is broken……

Their Dad always wore hats. The same ones that are on Fuh and Yuh!

More wondering later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Girl Hound Lovers. I totally forgot to do a blog posting about Emma’s Mommy, who came in 3rd place as Veteran Girl Hound, 7 years and older. Of course the club and all clubs use the word %itch, which I hate. I wish they would change that. It is so derogatory. Anyway, here is her picture!

80 Ch BoBac First Light CDX. HM 95802907. 05-29-01. Breeder: Richard & Sharon Nance. By Ch Birnam’s One Mo’ Thyme Magumn – Ch BoBac Domino Effect Of HobHl CD. Owner: Susan Warren & Sharon Nance.

This is our dear Emma’s Mommy! I am so thrilled that she did not come down with glaucoma like Emma and others in Dawn’s litters. I understand that she is now living with Susan Warren. First light is also know as “Dawn”. That is why I named our Emma after her!
EARLY MORNING MISTY AIR! Good going Mommy!

Love Emma, who can see you through her memory!

More about family later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and meeting residents on our walk lovers! OMG! It was too fantastic! Today, Grandma and I were walking the hounds down the lane and who do we encounter? Basset Hound Town resident Judy!

Judy, pulled her cute yellow bug over and jumped out to our delight! We had so much fun chatting and chatting about all things basset hound. Judy just loves our Emma and of course our Emma loved meeting Auntie Judy! Chaps was a huge fan as well!

So, we parted ways and continued on our walk to the bank. As we were leaving the bank we saw that cute yellow bug again! But wait! Look who was inside!

It’s Bumper in the front seat and Abby in the back! We were so delighted! So, Judy unloaded the delicious duo!

That is Bumper on the left and Abby on the right. I was so excited. How often does one get to meet such cute resident hounds on your everyday walk? We both knew that Chaps and Bumper were kind of grumpy so we only let them sniff for a second. Yes, our grumpy guys were not happy. No problem! I hooked up my kids to the bank pillers!

Someone from the Bank came out and admired all of them. I said that they were there to make a “deposit”! LOL!!!!!!

Now it was time to dive in for love!

Chaps and Emma seemed perfectly fine with it! And perfectly fine I was as well!

So, there you have it fellow town hounds! We had a real town hound experience today! Then we parted ways until later!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh……….Hounds in a bug! Ya just gotta love it!

More beautiful bug hounds later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Hounds in costume lovers! OK, we wait on them paw in paw all year long so for a few seconds around this time of the year they can dress up for a few seconds. At least long enough to take a picture. That is about the length of time mine will stand for it. LOL

Here is Emma’s first picture for your viewing pleasure!

Cha, cha, cha! Now give me some candy or I will trick you good!

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

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and residents wearing Howlloween costume lovers! This is our very own Abby dressed as a, “Bad Dog”! According to her Mommy,

“She is so cute and really is a good dog – not a bad one! She does hate to have her picture taken. She may be out trick or treating next week. Judy”

Abby lives in my home town! Can you believe it! According to Mommy Judy, Abby loves to wear clothes – especially sweaters in the winter!

Abby your are a good girl and I hope to see you very soon in our wonderful home town!

Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Cake Lovers! I still cannot get over the fact that I baked a cake! I have to tell you that I was inspired by the master chief that did that full size basset hound sugar sculpture! It made me remember that I bought a used basset hound cake pan off of e-bay back in 2006. It was tucked away down in my inventory closet. I was going to put it in my boutique, but I never got around to it. Maybe this was the reason why, or maybe it was the reason why it will be in the boutique in short order! LOL!

I think the last time I baked a sweet was back in 1968! I was 11! Here I am with my older sister Cindy (aka Nin) making cupcakes. I love my hair net!

Anyway, off we go into 2009! Not only was I inspired by the master basset hound sugar sculpture (look down a few postings), but it was Chaps birthday! Sweets for the sweets!

All set up and ready to go! This pan only takes one box mix and a glass of wine! Not for the cake, but for me!

Chaps was laying on the other side of the gate as all of this was going on. He knew Mommy would give him a bite! It may be a bit hard to see, but I love how the evening sun was casting those shadows on our Mayor.

28 minutes later the cake was done! You can barely see the outlines needed to decorate.

Time to get all artistic!

OK, not too bad! It smells better than it looks! LOL

OK! finished product! It took me over 2 hours! Chaps had long left the waiting area and had crawled into bed. Just as well, I was not going to cut it until I showed it to Grandma the next day.

All’s well that ends well! In our home birthdays last for days and days! In the case of the kids…….All year long!

More celebrating later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and somewhat blurry picture lovers! I forgot to add this picture to Chap’s birthday walk blog. I just love it. I have to admit that I feel like I am getting better taking pictures when I am walking but it is still challenging.

I just love how Emma has such a long beautiful stride! Look how taunt her leash is. This is the first time she has ever been to this park and boy, OH, boy just get out of her way! This girl is moving forward!

Our Emma! It was Chaps birthday but she provided the inspiration! I could barely keep up!

More keeping up with our Emma later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
