Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Spring Break over Lovers….

Well, this morning we took our cousin dogs home and it was almost as if Mayor Daisy Lynn knew what was going on.  I am thinking Romeo and Enzo let her know in their own way.

Easter13:3

Enzo was already waiting by the door but Daisy Lynn made sure the big guy did not get away from her.

More missing the cousins later…Love, Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB) sending Daisy Lynn Easter bunny vibes….

Play Hard, Snore Hard…

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Cousin Lovers…

Today we played, napped and played some more.

Romeo tried to keep up with the puppy!

Playhard

Then Romeo ran right for the worry bed…

Snorehard

Snore, snore, and snore some more…Enzo crawled into the big bed with Daisy Lynn…

Snorehard2

A good time was had by all but Spring Break has come to an end.

Don’t worry Daisy Lynn…Romeo and Enzo will be back before you know it!

More loving playing and snoring later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) glad to see RoRo in the worry bed.

This could be the Spring Break money shot…see what you think!

March 29th, 2013 - 12:12 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Spring Break lovers…We are having a great time on our Spring Break!  Daisy Lynn is actually having the time of her life.  I am so happy for her.  So, I have been attached to my Iphone since the cousin dogs arrived…waiting for that money shot.  What do you think?

Daisyrests

Daisy Lynn has been trying to snuggle with Romeo and he has been kind of…Eh, whatever…But then I turned around and saw this.

Ahhhhhhhhh…….

So cute.

Hopefully, more money shots later….Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB)

Bathed in flooded Good Friday light…

March 29th, 2013 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Good Friday Lovers…Just a short blog to start off this Good Friday.  It started off good when Grandma captured this picture of a sleeping puppy, the light flooding in on her.

daisylynnflooded

Then I found it magical when she captured a similar picture of me….

mefloodedlight

Being flooded with sunlight is such a nice feeling during the very cold month of March.

We hope your Good Friday is flooded with joy…Love, Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) catching every ray they can….

Princess Daisy is on Spring Break!

March 27th, 2013 - 12:12 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Princess Daisy Lovers…We are about to go stir crazy with this weather but things are looking up for us.  We are hosting a Spring Break Party with Enzo and Romeo!  Let the spring breaking begin.  That is later today so in the mean time….I went downstairs and found a fresh bag of toys.

Surprise, surprise that this is her favorite new one!

PrincessDaisy

She even howls for it!  Her little puppy howl is so adorable!

PrincessDaisy2

Well, Princess Mayor Baby Gerber Daisy Lynn time to clean up your toys and greet your Spring Break pals!

PrincessDaisy3

More howling (after a nap) later…Love, Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB) glad that they don’t have to deal with the guests.

We had to reschedule Dr. Leick today…

March 23rd, 2013 - 6:06 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and change of plans lovers…Today we had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Leick for Daisy Lynn’s well baby visit.  I had a list of questions and I just wanted him to feel her bones!  hehehe

RoadTrip1

But when we got there, it was obvious he was very backed up with dogs that were more in an immediate need.  Grandma and I were willing to wait but we wanted to be considerate of the elders that were there and needed a more calm environment in the waiting room.  Daisy Lynn thought it was play time.  So we re-booked.  Daisy Lynn left some puppy energy behind to hopefully do her small part in the healing of others.

So we went with plan B – ROAD TRIP!  Dr. Leick is located on Route 27 which is a blast to travel.

US27map

We wanted to go all the way to the tip of Florida but we settled for Lexington, KY.  About 2 hours away.

Off we go!

Roadtrip2

And then we got lost!  Our GPS lady took us down the wrong road!

Roadtrip4

Why o why did I turn off of 27 and listen to that woman in the Garmen?  Where are we?

“Re-calculating, re-calculating…”

Roadtrip3

We loved getting lost down this lovely little lane.  It was so cool but Lexington was not in our plans today!

“Wake me up when we get home Mommy.”

Roadtrip5

Don’t worry darling Gerber Baby, we will make it to Lexington, KY and many, many other places…

More loving Puppy Energy and getting lost later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB) Loving Dr. Leick…

 

 

Inverted Nipples in Dogs..

March 23rd, 2013 - 12:12 am KY Time

Howllow Fellow Basset hound and inverted nipple wondering lovers…Guess what?  Our Mayor has an inverted nipple!  Poor girl.  Grandma and I know every inch of every basset we have ever had and the Mayor Daisy Lynn is no exception.  I first noticed this inverted nipple about a week ago.  It is on the left at the top of her mammary chain.  There is a little divot where the nipple should be.  It can infect and sure enough it did.  Her harness rubs on it.

harnessDaisy

We took her to the doctors today. It is slightly infected.  The Mayor is on a course of antibiotics now.

This is not too unusual but it is a problem.  The inversion lets debris into that area.  Her doctor was not too concerned.

We will test the new daisy harness out tomorrow.  Our Mayor is going to Dr. Leick for her well baby visit to check out her long bones!  We are doing a base line check.  We love Dr. Leick.

More keeping up with nipples and bones later…Love, Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) missing and loving Dr. Leick.

Attention Northern KY and Cincinnati area residents. Bonded couple needs networking!

March 22nd, 2013 - 8:08 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Bonded Couple Lovers…I saw this on facebook last night and I had to share in hopes someone might connect with this couple.

They are safe and with a great rescue called Louie’s Legacy.  Link at the bottom of this post.

Sir Atrtemus Dotson “Artie” – 6 yr old Basset Hound –

Sir Atrtemus Dotson "Artie" 6 years old

Artie came in to rescue with Nettie after their owner passed away and despite promising to care for them for the rest of their lives, the deceased man’s mother tried dumping them at the nearest shelter. Ohio Basset Rescue stepped in and two of the three dogs ended up with Louie’s Legacy. Artie is about 70 lbs of big ol’ hound dog. He is extremely friendly and loving with people, including kids and loves attention. He is also generally good with other dogs but has no problem dealing corrections to wild and wily youth. He’d do best with females or possibly submissive males who are adults and calm like him. Artie is housetrained and if at all possible, we’d like to see him placed with Nettie (picture below)  who is so attached to him.

Meet the pair at the Eastgate, (Cincinnati Area) PetSmart 12 – 5 PM on Saturday and 1 – 5 PM Sunday at the Mason PetSmart (Cincinnati Area) unless adopted first.

Now for the darling and delicious Nettie!  Farmgirl Nettie Mae – “Nettie”

9 year old Farmgirl Nettie Mae "Nettie"

9 yr old Basset Hound and Artie came in to rescue with Nettie after their owner passed away and despite promising to care for them for the rest of their lives, the deceased man’s mother tried dumping them at the nearest shelter. Ohio Basset Rescue stepped in and two of the three dogs ended up with Louie’s Legacy. Nettie is a big girl at about 70 lbs. She is happiest when she can follow Artie around and perks up whenever she sees him. She is quite depressed right now and took her owners passing and the changes in her life very, very hard. She is good with all other dogs, men, women and kids, and I can’t see her moving at all quickly after a cat either. Nettie is housetrained and if at all possible, we’d like to see her placed with Artie since she is so attached to him. It is an extra special family who will give a senior dog like Nettie a chance, but the rewards are immense. Nettie’s adoption fee is waived with the help of a caring donor, however you must still meet all adoption requirements to adopt. Meet the pair at the Eastgate PetSmart 12 – 5 PM on Saturday and 1 – 5 PM Sunday at the Mason PetSmart unless adopted first.

The first day of spring has not sprung;)

March 20th, 2013 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and First Day of Spring Lovers…Here in Bassethoundtown we were so excited to get our short legs moving.

Grandma and I even bought our Mayor Daisy Lynn a new spring outfit!  I think lavender is her color!

DaisySpring3

Daisy Lynn was so excited with her Spring Parade harness and lead.  We forgot to order the collar but it is in the mail.

“Mommy and Grandma it is Spring today!”

DaisySpring2

Poor Daisy Lynn.  It was so cold today we cold not take a real walk so we let her stroll around our town to show off her new outfit to the residents!

DaisySpring1

Her paw pads were almost frozen.

So, time for a power nap and dreams of lavender Spring walks….

DaisySpring4

Maybe by the time the matching collar and tag come we will be out of hibernation…

More loving the hope of Spring later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) strolling though lavender fields of daisies….

Grandma just put all my toys in my toy box!

March 19th, 2013 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and toy box lovers.  Grandma was helping Daisy Lynn put her toys away earlier today.  It looks like bassethoundtown is a toy store!  I do love it.

And so does Daisy Lynn!  As Grandma was putting them in the box, puppy was taking them out!

Daisylynntoys

Daisy Lynn says…“I love my Grandma and my toys scattered everywhere!”

More loving toys and especially the toy box empty…Love Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) loving that the heart toy is near Daisy Lynn’s heart!
