Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Macaroon Lovers! Well, Emma is sure one of those. Chaps also, but I really thought Emma was going to explode if she did not get a bite. She must really love the smell of coconut. OMG I love Macaroons and my sister had them last night for desert. She sent me home with a doggie bag that had some of the delicious delights inside.

I don’t know, what do you think? Who likes Macaroons more? Emma or Mommy….

I vote for Emma!

It is amazing to me how a hound with no eyes can be as expressive as Emma is. It blows my mind every day. If she wasn’t allergic to everything in her world I would buy her Macaroons by the truck load. It might be a good thing I can’t do that or I would be a wide as a truck. Her and I would need a truck to haul us around in. BEEP – BEEP, when we would back up. OK, OK – You get the point!

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

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and wanting to know what is going on lovers! I was just wondering when do I delete old blogs and “great” links? I have looked at some of my list tonight and some, as if not most of them, are really old. I think I need to do some house cleaning. I know how hard it is to maintain a blog. So, if you are on my list and I do not see any activity in the past year, you are going to be considered for deletion. My precious readers do not need to click on a way, way stale old blog!

Good by old friends. We hardly knew yee!

SNOOZE…….

If you work as hard as it takes to maintain a blog you might still remain. But sad as it is, if you did not, farewell wannabes! hehehehe

More up to the date blogs later……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Baby English Mastiff Lovers! Well, many of us are going to become one of those in basset hound town!

I went over to my sisters for dinner tonight and had a puppy session with our Romeo. He has gained about 12 pounds in 15 days. OMG! He is so cute and very sweet. Here is a picture of Julian with him a few days ago.

He is just a bundle of bear cub joy!

Here is a picture I took of him before I left tonight, after dinner……

They grow up so fast……The next time I see himz I might not be able to pick himz up! Sigh……

OMG!!!!!!! When I got home the kids were on the back porch making sounds like I have never heard in my life. I think they smelled the pup and my love for that pup! The kids went into sniff mania when I walked in and they continued, what Grandma calls vacuuming, for about 15 minutes. When I sat on the floor to let them smell my shirt Chaps went into chatter overdrive. He was having a full face quake! Sup with that?

More unraveling the mysteries of life later……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Yellow Pages Moments lovers! I sure hope there will be many of these. However, this one was not so great. Just kind of blah……..

Yesterday, Grandma and I took the Mayor and Emma on a walk. I wanted to walk to the “Cop Shop” and show off the Mayor and maybe get some extra yellow pages that they did not want. When we were kids we all called the Police Station the Cop Shop and now that is what everyone calls it. Anyway, when we got there we had to wait a few minutes because the fire alarm went off. The Fire Station is attached to the Cop Shop!

It’s funny, because the sounds of the fire truck do not bother Chaps at all. He just stood right there and watched. My Mom had them down a bit further because I was coming across from the bank. I guess you can tell it’s a pretty small town. Cop Shop, Bank, Post Office all within a short walk from home.

So I took Chaps inside to let the masses fawn over him and get his autograph on their yellow pages. We entered to total emptiness. The only thing that was inside was a pile of yellow pages.

The Cop Shop is being remodeled. Nary a Cop in sight. I guess I could have “taken” a few extra yellow pages that I am sure no one would miss, but that would have been pretty stupid. Chaps would never steal! He is the Mayor after all and the Police respect him.

No Yellow Pages Moments for our Mayor yesterday!

More high hopes for stardom later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Sitter Upper Lovers! I had to share. Watch as Samuel Adams checks out the great outdoors!

Can you imagine, walking by and see Chaps do that at our door?

More longing to sit up later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Chaps on the cover of the Yellow Pages lovers! OK, let’s bring it out in the open. The Yellow Pages signifies the Yellow Puddles at the House of Puddles! It is just to obvious to deny! LOL!

So, who would not want a copy of this coffee table book? Every time you look at it you will contemplate the elders squatting away at HOP and who would not want to do that! OK – I am getting a bit carried away.

I just thought that some of us would want a copy. So I got on the horn and this package arrived today. I was not able to get what I wanted. I wanted 200 copies! The person in charge told me I was crazy. OK, tell me something I don’t know!

Do you want a copy? I think for right now I have about 30 of them. If you want a copy of the Northern, KY Yellow pages (very soon to be a collectors addition) you can PayPal me 7.00. I will donate 5.00 of that 7.00 to HOP. I went to the PO today and they said that it would cost about 2.00 to send this “book” media mail. So, I will ship it to you and donate 5.00 to House of Puddles in your name. I will add it to the First Giving Page that Devon and I are sharing.

UPDATE! PLUS I WILL INCLUDE CHAPS SIGNATURE AND 2 FREE BASSET HOUND TOWN GREETING CARDS. VALUE OF CARDS 4.00 DOLLARS, VALUE OF SIGNATURE – PRICELESS!

My PayPal address is: bassethoundtown@fuse.net

Just drag my address into send me money.

Or, you can send a check for 7.00 to:

Mayor Chaps Rudert
Basset Hound Town Enterprises
P.O. Box 347 – Ft. Thomas, KY 41075

More wondering……..Do people still have coffee tables any more?
Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Sr. Hounds Abound Calendar Lovers. Well, last night about 9:00ish I submitted the winning photo of the Mayor along with $10.00 to enter him in the Sr. Hounds Abound Calendar Contest. All proceeds from this calendar go to SHB and it is their biggest fund raiser of the year!

Chaps and I would like to thank everyone who voted for their favorite picture of the Mayor. Here is Chaps with the tally….

As you can see #2 won by 5 votes over picture #1. Here is the winning picture!

Here is the link to look at all of the other seniors who are participating. I had to laugh when I saw all of the pictures. Soooooooooo cute! Chaps already has one vote! LOL! It was fun to see Buttermilk and Laverne from HOP in the contest. This calendar is a huge part of my gift giving over the Holidays.

CHECK OUT THE SENIORS RUNNING FOR A MONTH! CLICK HERE!

You might want to book mark this page to check on the Mayor’s progress! Plus, I might have a few fun things up my wrinkled paw to jazz up the voting process.

More checking back later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and laughing in the morning lovers: This morning I was cleaning up the kitchen and Chaps was in his usual spot, preening and watching me clean. I tell you what, looking at that boy makes cleaning the kitchen much easier. Anyway, I had the kid’s little potato container sitting on the counter and the thought crossed my simple mind…..”I wonder how many of those tiny red potato bits my boy has eaten in his life?” Now that’s some deep thinking to start the day off with!

Since Emma is allergic to most everything – included Chaps drool, she can’t have many treats. She tolerates potatoes well and they both love them. I just cut them into little bite size pieces and keep them in the fridge.

More deep thoughts later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Remember When Lovers? I just had to go back in time. My Dad used to walk the kids every day. So much so that a local paper reporter took his picture! This was back in 2005. Grandpa walked the kids every day. Like clock work!

It is so sad. My Dad cannot walk the kids anymore. They are all the worst for it. This is the worst part of getting old for my Dad. He laments over it constantly.

It really is hell getting old. Not only for the elderly but for the others that depended on them. Grandpas are so dependable! He still is. Just not in the walking capacity.

More depending on Grandpa later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hounds and Senior Hounds Abound lovers: The deadline to submit a photo of your favorite Sr. Hound for the 2010 SHB calendar is quickly approaching. It is actually Monday, August the 31st!

Chaps is going to enter again and try his luck at being featured for a month.

Here is photo selection number 1.

There is also photo number 2 from this same photo shoot. I would guess that it would be for a fall featured month.

Or this stunner, photo number 3.

Last, but not least………..(just kidding)

I know I did not give my dear readers much time to vote. I totally forgot about the picture submission which ends on Monday. Here is the link if you want to enter your favorite Sr. Hound:
