Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Muffin Lovers! Yum….Muffins! Today, Grandma and I went out with one mission – finding the perfect Muffin! LOL!

Yes, she has a lace ear!

Meet Muffin! I had been contacted by the Campbell County pound about this girl. She was listed as a 12 year old basset hound/jack russell mix. Hum??? Basset hound? No, not a drop. Howl ever, I could not get Muffin or her her story out of my mind.

Muffin is 12 years old with a corn allergy. Not a huge candidate for adoption as we all know. I followed her for a few days and I knew that she was not going to die at the pound. I would come up with something.

Muffin was adopted from this very pound 12 years ago. Almost 12 years to the date she was returned. Turns out that the girl who Muffin was adopted for was leaving home for “school”?. After the girl was dropped off so was Muffin…..at the pound.

So, this past Thursday I made my daily call checking on the old girl. Turns out an all breed rescue picked her up. I was so excited because that means that she will not be in jeopardy or in risk of being a statistic. I called the foster mom and found out she was going to be at a local Petsmart today for an adoption event.

Grandma and I had a Muffin on our menu today! We loaded up in the BHV and drove over to commiserate with the elder!

She is such a great old gal. Very frisky for 12 years old! She is so sweet.

I have a connection with Muffin for some reason. Maybe she was a basset in a previous life! hehehe

I told the foster Mom I would come and take pictures of her and see if I could spread the word about our Muffin.

The good news is that Muffin had someone coming to see her today that was really interested in her. Paws crossed!

I will keep all of the residents posted on Muffin. She is with a fabulous foster Mommy. I really like her!

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

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Shiny Object Lovers (fish included)!

Well, I have been looking for a comfortable winter boot this winter. I have been wearing a pair that are quite frankly, embarrassing. They are so old and beat up with the zippers chewed out by Emma when she was a pup! (She will be 7 next month!)

So, I was online looking around for an affordable boot that I can wear everyday. I am a uniform type of gal. I basically wear the same stuff everyday. I was jealous of the kids in Catholic school that had uniforms. I thought those skirts were cute, but I digress.

I received a few gift cards for Christmas and I had decided on buying boots. I would buy a cute affordable boot. I would be smart and comfortable! I swore to the boot gods that I would never buy Uggs. Toooooooo expensive. Then, I made a critical error. I went online, over to Ugg of Australia, and like a fish swimming towards a shiny object I sat with wide eyes, my mouth shaped in an O……swimming towards the shiny black sparkle Uggs!

Then the horror hit me! Oprah had featured them as one of her “favorite things” on her favorite things show. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Most certainly they would be sold out! Sure nuff! Sold out with no word if they would be back. BUMMER! Instantly I became obsessed. I went to ebay and get this! They were going for 700 dollars. A 170.00 boot going for 700.00 WTHeck?

Then I did a bit a research and found out that the sparkle boots would be back in late January or early February! So, I placed my back order via Ugg and waited and waited like a fish swimming in a bowl. It is crazy howl excited I was checking my front door everyday to see if the fish food had arrived! Well, today they did! YUM!

We were so excited! The kids were very interested!

The Mayor had to smell them! Just then Grandma started going crazy! “Get him away from those boots. His slobber is like glue and it will be impossible to clean slobber in between sequins.”

I guess she has a point, see the slobber on his head?

Well, at least they don’t have zippers!

P.S. Anyone have any tartar sauce?

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Long John Lovers. Does your local bakery have Long Johns? My small town used to have a bakery but it does not anymore. I think that is real bummer because every town needs a bakery, especially basset hound town! I remember my Dad walking up to the bakery on the weekends and bringing home those white waxy bags full of Long Johns!

So, imagine my delight when my BFF called me and told me she has left me something on my door.

WHAT????????? LONG JOHNS!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMLongJohn! OMLongJohn!

The Long John Kids look on with envy! Even the bananas look envious!

I bet this is about one of the best treats the kids have ever had. I cut them a few small pieces!

Sweets for my Long John sweet!

Sugar for my sugar loaf!

More loving BFFs, Long John memories, and sharing breakfast with those you love later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

PS – Bananas, I hardly knew ye!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Baby’s Breath Lovers! We just love Baby’s Breath and Puppy Breath! What better way to save money and add a flair of flower to your home? I am having a lunch and a card game this week and I want to add a floral flair! What better way to do that than with baby’s breath!

I bought a big bunch for 4 dollars and filled some fun things like sake cups!

Then when you have lunch or dinner you can place a sake cup at each plate! A tiny breath of air! YES!

I love baby’s breath!

You can add a flair to your entire home for 4 dollars! Plus it smells better than, well let’s see….

Emma’s baby breath!

Oh, who am I kidding? I loved me some baby’s breath!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and not loving football lovers. I NEVER watch football and probably never will. I might tune in to half time to see the Peas. Anyway, do I have a treat for you. While all of the TVs in your house are on the football channel you can watch 6 hours of PBS – Masterpiece Theater. Yes! This is a stunning, sweeping, spectacular period piece called – Downton Abbey.

I highly recommend that you take some time and read the website. Make sure to read the interview by Julian Fellowes, writer and director. He sets up his masterpiece very nicely.

The entire 6 hours is on line and runs in 4, 1.5 hour episodes. Howl ever! It is only on line until the 22nd of this month. Then, it will be gone.

Here is the link to all 4 of the episodes:

DOWNTON ABBEY EPISODES 1 THRU 4

Just as a side note. Downton Abbey will continue with 8 more episodes in September of this year. I will notify everyone when they are on.

More loving PBS later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. I now refer to Chaps as his Lordship……

and Emma as her Ladyship…….

P.P.S. You can thank me later…..

Yours truly, Cat AKA, the handmaiden to his Lordship and her Ladyship!
