Paul Newman suffered from cancer.

Dog Speed darling Paul Newman…Dog Speed…

What a difference a day makes…

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Summer Sunday Lovers…Wow, yesterday we were picnicing and watching the boys of summer wind up the season.  Nothing like a local ball game…

DLBOS

Daisy Lynn could not figure out why all those boys were throwing balls around and no dogs were allowed to chase them?

So now it’s Monday and back to work not to mention Grandma and I are getting our flu shot today!

What a difference a day makes…

More loving Sundays later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB chasing the balls…)

PS – have a great day residents…

Happy Birthday Colby Chaps – 12 years old and it’s party time!

September 9th, 2014 - 3:03 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Colby Chaps being 12 years old lovers…There is nothing in this big crazy world like an old hound.  I adore the elders and their soulful wisdom!

So proud and so kind.

CC12:5

Did I say kind?  Well, Colby Chaps wanted to party with his friends and had his Mommy make the party favors!

CC12:3

He thought he had better taste one before heading out to the park to meet his new BFF, Lily!

CC12:2

“OK, Mommy they are great as per usual.  I can’t wait to give some to my friends!”

CC12:7

“Here I am, the life of the party!”

CC12:13

“Gather round all yee hounds (and wanna bes;)”

CC12:10

“This is my new friend Lily!  Can you believe it?  I have a Lily just like Grandma Cat did!”

CC12:8

“She is a lot of fun and we meet at the park for walks and sniffing…”

CC12:6

“Well, it has been a great party with new friends…Hope you all enjoyed my 12th birthday, Love…Colby Chaps!”

(Can you see this little movie?)

More loving parties later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB and in spirit ATPark!)

Daisy Lynn the Great Pyreneeses and deer poop!

September 7th, 2014 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Great Pyreneeses lovers…One Mom we know you are one of both!  So, if you see 2 Great Pyrenees are they Great Pyreneeses?  Whatever…we did and they were majestic!

GreatP

Of course this picture does not do them justice.  Things moved too quickly for me to get a better shot as I was struggling to get myself off the ground the woman warned us that her male was not friendly.  So, we moved off to the left where Daisy Lynn quickly began to roll in deer poop!  GREAT!

Someone was in store for a bath when we got home!

Of course I did not get a picture.  I feared for my IPhones life!

So I offer this…

From the late great Evelyn Leavens…

Daisy Lynn was not pleased…

More loving big white fluffy dogs and fluffy clouds of soap later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB always smelling sweet!)

 

Friday Facebook Finds!

September 5th, 2014 - 10:10 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Friday Facebook Find Lovers…I have been sniffing around facebook and saving a few things for the residents to view.  So cute!

First off we have this Friday Face…Can you believe howl cute this older gentlehound is? I could not understand the language so I have no idea of his name but I think he was from Russia.

Facebookface

Then, I stumbled upon this from Scotland!  The caption said,

“If bassets can wear cute coats so can ponies!”

Is it cold in Scotland now?  hehehe

Ponies

Then to wind up the Friday finds with this youtube!

More loving Friday Finds later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB loving pony coats;)

 

 

Youtube find of the day…Chloe Lynn Rudert used to do this everyday!

September 3rd, 2014 - 11:11 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and strange hound behavior lovers…I found this little video about Rosie on Youtube.  It brought back memories of howl my Chloe would do this same thing everyday.  She would go up on the hill and rub her head and back under the little red Japanese maple tree.

My Lily used to go into my closet that was long and narrow and walk really, really slow under all of the clothes.  It was so cute!  Wish I had a video of both of them now.

More loving strange basset behavior later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB watching Chloe and Lily:)

May all your days be labors of love…sniff on residents, sniff on!

More loving moving forward later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB resting!)

 

To Incline or recline? That is the question!

August 29th, 2014 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Restaurant Review Lovers…Grandma and I made the decision to Incline!  It’s a little place that sits atop one of the many hills of Cincinnati.  Upper Price Hill to be exact.

INC4

The Incline Public House in one fashion or another has been around since 1874. Grandma remembers riding the crazy incline contraption as a kid.

IN2

Can you imagine?

incline-pricehill2

The food was good but too expensive.  We are thrilled to eat here but 70 dollars for lunch is way too much.  We had an appetizer, 2 sandwiches, a mac and cheese to share and 2 glasses of wine.

Daisy Lynn had it right.  She decided to recline instead of incline!

IC1

I was getting ready to put the cover of her office bed back on after washing it. I put it up on the ottoman to reach it better.  I walked out to answer my phone and she ran by me with her favorite snake toy.

“Reclining is free Mommy and you get me!”

More reclining instead of inclining later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB eating free sandwiches….)

P.S. – This place does not seem appropriate for dogs even though they have a huge outside patio.  They might allow them but I would call first.  I know I would not take Daisy Lynn even if they did allow dogs.  Too many railings and too many people.
