Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and planning for a walking club walk lovers! Today Judy (basset hound town resident) and I decided to deliver fliers to basset hounds that we know of in our area to promote the Club’s first walk. I wanted to squeeze it in before we leave for our trip and it worked out great. Today was a stunning day. Any day is stunning when I get to love on Bumper and Abby, Judy’s hounds! I think we dropped off 8 fliers.

Here is Penelope Jo. She is a rescue and lives about 5 minutes away! She looks ready!

Then we drove over a few more street to find Hank sunning himz self in the front yard! He was thrilled to see us. Himz got a mini massage.

We dropped off fliers at a few more homes but the hounds were not outside.

Then we drove over to another town where a hound was in the news recently. The hound was a part of a hoopla where the owner had too many dogs. I am not sure howl it turned out, I think it is still in the works. Butt…..we found the hound lounging around!

Then Judy and I went out to lunch and discussed some more details. We are really looking forward to it!

I was excited to drop by Judys to spend some quality with her hounds!

This is Judy and Abby!

This is moi and Mr. Bumper!

Himz is so hunky!

Then Abby wanted to show me her very own bed! Judy is getting ready to put her fleece sheets on due to the cold weather coming on!

The day was so much fun. OK, fun for me! Not for the Mayor. He attacked me when I got home.

He made sure I knew just howl he felt! Emma was a smelling machine!

When I got home I had to change clothes in the basement to make sure I did not smell like Abby and Bumper too much. As you can see I was not too successful.

More updates about the walk later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Gotcha Day Lovers: Well, 16 years ago today I found my Lily. AKA The Pad, The Child, Our Little Cow, Baby Seal Pup, and the list goes on an on of her fun loving names!

I know many of you know her story but I will link to it just in case you want to read it for the first time or again.

ST. FRANCIS DAY IS TODAY – LILY’S GOTCHA DAY IN 1994

If you have the Senior Hounds Abound Calendar you will see Lily on her day.

She was the softest Basset Hound I have ever had the pleasure of petting. We also called her our chinchilla hound. She would sit by my side for hours, leaning on me as she fell asleep. She would position herself so my hand was on her head. She actually could flip your hand to land on her body. It was so cute.

Here she is laying where Chaps worry bed is now.

I thought she looked so pretty laying in that stream of sun light.

More missing the sun light of my life later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and New Club Lovers! Well, I don’t know a single person who would not want to belong to this prestigious club! hehehehe

It is called the Basset Hound Town Walking Club and I have been wanting to start this for about 4 years. Basset Hound Town residents Judy, Bumper and Abby gave me the push I needed to get our new club up and running!

I started a FaceBook Fan Page by the same name. Here it is. Can you tell me if you can see it?

Bassethoundtown Walking Club

This a good place to keep all of the information about the club and when our walking events will take place. Here is the flier I finished last night for our first walk.

Judy and I are going to meet for lunch this week and then deliver the fliers over all basset hound town. I think we know howl to find about 10 bassets. I am also going to put an ad in the local paper! hehehe

I hope to see a lot more of this sight only with about 10 more hounds! This is Colby Chaps and his lil’ sis Abby.

I sure wish more of the basset hound town residents could come to our walks. I think most of you live far, far away from the walking route. What a shame.

Oh well, you can go on the cyber walk. You know I will video tape it and take mega pictures.

If you are on facebook you can “like” us and keep up with more details. Of course I will be blogging about the new club ad nauseum.

Come on! Let’s get those short legs moving!

More Walking News Later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and not another thing not lovers!!!!!!!!!

I am just shaking my head, just like Chaps and Emma with their allergy problems. Yesterday Grandma and I took the kids on a trial run for the big Blue Ridge Parkway Vacation. We put the travel beds in the car and took off!

We wanted to find a place to eat outside so the kids can get used to being hooked up and all the folks coming up to us and come up they did! NON STOP!

As you can see from this picture, the kids were swarmed.

We had a great time Butt…….When we got home Chaps started acting really strange. When he tried to get into bed he acted like a bee was stinging him on his face. Oh, for the love of Dog… now what?

So, I called Grandma and she came down stairs with her magnifying glass so we could look at his face. After about 20 minutes of conversation we thought it might be something that his snout picked up, like a sticker. We know it was not a bee sting because he is allergic.

You may not see what we thought we saw but it is a little black dot. It was a real fiasco.

I had the tweezers and the magnifying glass and Grandma was holding himz. We had no idea if this was even the reason that he was acting funny. But we think it worked.

Himz got in his bed tonight without acting funny!

I feel like his Tony the Tiger Toy! GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

Do I have to bring the magnifying glass with us on our trip?

More loving the fact that maybe I got a sticker out of the Mayor’s snout later! Cat, Chaps and Emma

Wen, from Senior Hounds Abound was updating the tally about every 20 minutes and I must have refreshed Rugs voting booth about 100 times. I really wanted himz to get a month. He is such a stalwart resident of basset hound town. Here he with his Mom, Cindy bending over and Kerry and her daughter Hannah, also residents of basset hound town.

Well, our boy squeaked by to win spot number 12 on the calendar! Whew!

Congratulations Rugs! I know howl proud your Mommy is going to be next year when she gets to your dear month because I felt that pride this morning! I could barely wait for 10-1-10!

Congrats to all of the 2011 winners and have a great October 1st everyone!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Blue ridge Parkway Lovers……

I was just on Twitter, being a twit, and the Blue ridge Parkway posted a picture of the day! Howl pretty!

Looks like the leaves are really turning fast. They must be getting much more rain than we are. Basset hound town is under a severe drought and our pretty fall colors will be sorely lacking this year.

But look at this picture of the day! Taken 2 years ago on this very day! Our dear, trusted Mayor by the Mums…..

Look at that chop area! Dreamy!

More pretty pictures later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
