Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and resting assured that your Mayor is on fly alert lovers!
Oh you dirty, dirty fly! Get out of my house!
I beseech you to leave!
I done good Mommy! The fly flew away! Out that little crack in the screen that the fly flew in by!
More high alerts later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Chaps in his Brownie Vest Lovers….
Well, if you recall, the brownie vest I bought for the Mayor was a bit snug. I took it to a local seamstress for some slight alterations. The Mayor has a very manly girth as well all know.
So, we are looking forward to his fitting. We will load up and head out wearing our beanies proudly!
He will be reading to the Brownies on Friday! I heard that all of the girls are very excited.
More modeling his new vest tomorrow! Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Patty Lovers! Oh dear me, I loves me a good Patty!
Ninja is Mary’s little girl!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that Patty is adorable!
More Patty Cakes later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma, famous for her pink patty!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and thinking statistics are boring lovers! Well, I am one of those until I saw one of these!
I noticed something in the stats line up that said:
http://www.freeforum.hu/bassethound/topik/33816,22
I figured it was a forum from Hungry. I think I am right. I could not read a word of it but they had some very cute pictures! Someone from this group must have mentioned bassethoundtown.
It was worth the click just to see that lovely, little, lace ear! Just darling!
More Hungry Hounds Later! Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Lamb Lovers! I have a friend who is from Norway. Her name is Tina!
She lives on a farm with her bassets, horses, and now 2 baby lambs!
She was asking friends what to name them and I suggests Chops and Emma! hehehehe
Here is one of her bassets, Agathon with Chops and Emma….
The lambs are hungry! Agathon is wondering what the heck is going on? Maybe Mommy will knit me a sweater for the upcoming winter months?
Speaking of winter months…..
Maybe Mommy can knit a woolen snood? Emma is wondering why Agathon is smelling Chop’s rear end area???? “Uh, excuse me, can I help you sir?”
OK, OK, now it is time to play LETS CHASE MOMMY. Leave the precious lambs to eat and grow!
More loving precious lambs later. Cat, Chops, I mean Chaps and Emma!
Bah, Bah, Bah…….

The amount of money raised is just bassetabulous. Marilyn has 3 new elders coming in and the money will be well spent. I think she is up to about 20 or more.
Thanks to all that bought raffle tickets! It means the world to Marilyn and the elders!
More loving HOP later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Moms of Chaps and Emma Lovers! First off, Chaps would love to give a shout out to Glory of the Roses, his Mommy on her special day. Here she is right before she gave birth to the Mayor, (male pick of the litter!)
Look howl pretty she is. I just love her. She is actually related to Emma in some fashion. I just cannot figure it out.
Here is Emma’s Mommy! Dawn’s First Light!
I named Emma after Dawn’s First Light. Emma means, Early Morning Misty Air. I know I have blogged about that before but I just wanted to mention it again.
Roses was Glory’s Mom. And Roses was Dawn’s Great Grandmom. I think.
Any howl!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our beautiful Moms and to all the Moms in Basset Hound Town. We love you all!
More loving Moms later…Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Pound Cake Lovers! Yummers! Chaps, Emma and I wanted to make Grandma a cake for Mother’s day. I decided to use my Dad’s famous pound cake recipe. He made this cake for each one of us every birthday!
Here Emma helps me get all of the ingredients together.
I have a lot of pictures.
Here is the loaf pan all buttered, floured and ready for the creation!
It is basically a pound cake with lots of good stuff added in. I slice one banana. I never add the banana end pieces. Emma gets one end.
And the Mayor gets the other end. I have never liked banana ends for some reason. Just look at that face, a face that loves banana ends!
OK, all hounds out of the kitchen!
Then I add a 1/3 cup of Philly Cheese Cake filling to the banana slices and a 1/3 cup of lemonaid and mix it all up. My Dad taught me never to use the water a recipe may call for. Be creative!
Add a 1/2 stick of butter, 2 eggs, and the banana mixture to the pound cake mix. Add 1/2 of the mixture to the loaf pan and then the best part…….
Layer the top with macadamia nuts, chocolate chips, and then drizzle with caramel sauce. OH DEAR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Repeat, then bake for one hour at 350 degrees.
Now I am just rubbing it in! LOL
Add an entire canister of milk chocolate frosting.
YES! I mean it! An entire canister!
Are your teeth hurting yet? Wait….You have to encrust the top with about another cup of chopped macadamia nuts….
Look, the pound cake is smiling….Just like you will be it you give it a try!
More pound cake memories later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Picture Frame Lovers…..
A while back I blogged about a fundraiser Devon Smith was doing for
House of Puddles and AZ Basset Hound Rescue. She is decoupaging wooden picture frames with the hounds of your choice. I cannot tell you howl detailed and special these picture frames are. I immediately jumped on the offer and ordered a House of Puddles Frame.
The picture frame costs 20 dollars with 10 dollars shipping. Devon will send 20 dollars to either HOP or AZBR. Your pick. I bought this frame so I can do another fundraiser with it. The showcase hound is………
BUTTERMILK! A hound that holds a special place in my heart!
Here are some more pictures of the wooden frame….
Devon cuts out each picture that you provide for her and applies it via decoupage. Of course I wanted Rudolph (ATB) at the top of the frame.
Look at the tiny rhinestone sets Devon put on it! Each frame is different and one of a kind.
Look howl many HoPpers she has on the frame. Just jaw dropping!
This is the right side of the frame. Look at all of those elders with such joy in their faces. Each one so special to all of us.
I wish I had 50 or more to sell!
Here is the left hand bottom corner of the frame….
And moving up the left hand side…..
You would not believe howl many hounds are on this frame. It is so beautiful!
Here is the back…
The frame is about 11”x9” and has plenty of room for pictures.
Here is the link to Devon’s boutique on my website to order a frame if you would like to help her design your own. You will see all of the details you need to order.
You can see the Lily frame that Devon made for me!
More deciding howl I am going to sell this frame later. All proceeds will go to House of Puddles. 20.00 will being going to HOP from the original sale.
Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
