Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Facebook find of the day lovers…When I saw this picture it really hit home for me.  The smile on my face was huge, huger, hugeist!

When I was a little girl for years I was obsessed with pigs.  Still am really.  I had a poster similar to this one hanging over my bed…

This is my window sill now!

Hell Bent on Hydrangeas…

June 10th, 2014 - 6:06 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Hydrangea Lovers…Yes, I am hell bent.  I think I might declare the Hydrangea as the second official flower of bassethoundtown.  Of course the Daisy is the first official flower!  I have tried so hard to grow the hydrangea but always fail.

So here is my new crop.  Try, try again…

HBOH1

I was told to plant them where they can get morning sun and shade in the afternoon.  Also to add whatever is in that bag to the soil.

HBOH2

Daisy Lynn and I want to see them from our front window!

HBOH3

If you look in the window Daisy Lynn is on her perch.  She was busy trying to show a fly who is boss!

So, do any of the residents have any suggestions for growing hydrangeas?  All advise is welcome.

Grandpa was a master gardener.  Wish I could ask him.

More loving bassethoundtown gardening questions later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB flushing under rainbow hydrangeas…)

Share time in bassethoundtown!

June 8th, 2014 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and share time lovers…I have been very busy in the basement/garage of bassethoundtown clearing out the clutter.  Grandma and I have been working for years sorting through the stuff we all store for no reason at all…except for this treasured find!

My favorite picture ever of myself!

Sharetime

I dusted it off and placed it next to another treasured item.  I just love this little basset hound.  You really can’t see it, but I am wearing a TWA Junior Hostess pin.  Do you guys remember those?  When you flew back then the stewardesses would give each kid her/his “wings”.  I think I wore it for about a year!

So clean out those basements folks, ya never know what you will fly across…

More loving being a Junior Hostess later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB with real wings…)

PS – What grade do you think I was in Grandma?

ColbyChapsGD

Colby Chaps wants to say thank you from him and his Mom for all of the kind words for his dearly departed sister Abby.

You are welcome big guy and we know what a comfort you are to your Mom…

More loving my Grand-dog later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB howling with Abby…)

Abby Mead is helped over the bridge by her Mommy and brother:(

May 31st, 2014 - 5:05 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Abby Mead Lovers…We were certainly all one of those.  The hardest part of running a town are the obituaries.  Abby of course was family to me.

Abby2

She is survived by her humans.  Mommy Audra, Daddy Mike, sister Jourdan, Grandma Charlene, and Grandpa Glenn.

Abby7

She is also survived by her bonded pair brother Colby Chaps Mead.

Abby4

Audra was with her from the beginning of her rescue from the streets to the end of her stay here on earth.

Abby3

Colby Chaps was as well…

Abby6

This is one of my personal favorites of Abby Mead…with her human sister, Jourdan in the bluebonnets of TX.

Abby5

The story of Abby’s rescue is an amazing one…

Until we meet again my darling Abby…May your Mommy find peace in your memory…(((Audra)))

Abbybridge

More keeping Audra in our hearts later…Love, Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB already having her safe and on a rainbow cloud…)

 

Who’s the fairest of them all???

May 29th, 2014 - 8:08 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and fairest of them all lovers…I had kind of an epiphany the other day when I saw Daisy Lynn kind of noticing herself in the reflection of our sliding glass door.  I realized that Daisy Lynn really had never seen herself.  Can you imagine going through life and never seeing yourself?  So, I bought her a mirror!!!

I figured that a good place would be by her water dish, where she spends a fair amount of time…

DLM2

Here she is getting a drink…

DLM3

I even left a small treat next to her bowl so she would stick around a few more seconds…

Nothing…

DLM4

So far, she just does not care…

DLM5

about seeing her beautiful self…

What a pretty and sweet girl for sure…

DLM1

Very interesting mirror study…I will keep the residents posted.

Do any of the town hounds look at themselves in the mirror?

More loving reflections later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB where the soul is the mirror…)
