They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right. The Judgement of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed…IT IS SO ORDERED

Wow!  I have been supporting my LGBT friends every step of the way.

The language of Kennedy’s opinion spoke eloquently of the most fundamental values of family, love and liberty.

In the eloquent words of Dolly Parton – “These folks deserve to be as miserable as the rest of us”!  LOL

Howllo fellow basset hound and Basset Bustle Extravaganza Lovers…This is howl I would like to spend every weekend.  The amount of joy watching herds of hounds is just endless…

“The 2015 BHRO Basset Bustle Extravaganza was a huge success!

“Hundreds of basset hounds and their people from across Canada and the U.S. (and even England this year!) descended upon the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA off-leash dog park on May 23 to help us celebrate dedication and love of bassets and show support for Basset Hound Rescue of Ontario.

We can’t wait for next year!”

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Bumper Lovers – As many of the resident know, I was in love with Bumper.  Today his Mommy Judy and his Daddy Rick made the decision to help him over the rainbow bridge.

Bumper was 13 1/2 years old and lived a fantastically blessed life with his family.  Bumper is survived by his Mom Judy, his Dad Rick, and his sister Abby who is also 13 1/2 years old.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound, Father’s Day, and summer lovers.  Wow!  This is an interesting day for sure.  It’s the longest day of the year, the first day of summer and Father’s Day!

This is an oldie but a goodie.  I designed this for Grandpaw in 2006.  I decided to add my header to it.  As the internet has grown so have people who use images.  I have no problem with that in most cases.  I do want folks to know where it comes from…

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and P lovers…hehehe

Today fellow bassethoundtown resident Judy took me out for a Pizza birthday lunch.  It was so much fun.  Then we went back to her phenomenal home and I loved on her African Grey Parrot Buddy! When I found out he did not have a middle name I gave him one.

Meet Buddy Lynn…I kinda love himz…

OK – where is the Puddle? 

I had to laugh, I was sitting on the ground giving Abby a belly rub and turned around to find Bumper and my first thought was that he looked just like a Puddle!

A Puddle of love…

Happy Flag Day from your Mayor…Daisy Lynn Rudert!

June 14th, 2015 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Flag Day Lovers!  Our Flag is a vision of beauty and we cherish it in bassethoundtown.  Red, White, and Blue with a bit of basset mixed in!

I was trying to get a good picture of our Mayor with my Flag and I hung it on my wrought iron gates leading into my sun room as I went and got a treat.  When I came back I saw this beautiful image. It really touched me.  That was the sunset coming in the back window.

I designed these gates when I got Chaps and Emma.

Try as I may, treats in hand I was able to capture another shot!

FD2

It was not the intended shot but boy did it turn out just glorious.

Happy Flag Day fellow residents…

More loving the unintended later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB flying the rainbow flag of love…)

PS – a picture of the gates tonight…The Mayor is posing for your viewing pleasure!

Hero Basset Hound, Smudge – protects his family!

June 12th, 2015 - 11:11 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Hero lovers…

Smudge is the man!  I think Daisy Lynn would do the same thing.  She is very, extremely alert.

HOUSTON – A burglar who used a doggy door is in custody thanks to a droopy-eyed Bassett hound, two brave women and police.

Cari Shoemate knew something was wrong when she heard her dog downstairs in their Rice Military home.

“He was whining and wrestling around, making some weird noises,” Shoemate said. “They are not known for being great guard dogs but he actually saved me!”

Shoemate had just put her toddler down for a nap when she hear Smudge causing a ruckus downstairs.

“I looked over and I saw a man come up the stairs right behind him. I was like, ‘Get out of my house! I have a gun!’ and I don’t know, I was really frantic and freaking out!” Shoemate said.

Jackass

The burglar ran away and Shoemate called 911. Police say he broke into another house a few blocks over on Malone Street. That homeowner also managed to scare him away.

“She chased him out with a knife,” said Shoemate, “And they saw him running down the street and they arrested him.”

Police arrested Bryon Einkauf, 55, and charged him with burglary.

Einkauf has a long criminal history dating back to 1993 and has been in and out of jail.

Shoemate said although the scary experience shook her up, she’s learned a valuable lesson about herself.

“I feel safer now. I know how to deal with that situation. I dealt with it, the guy’s in jail and I feel like I reacted the best way possible,” she said.

And Smudge proved that even Basset hounds have bite.

“He’s kind of my hero you know? He really is!” Shoemate said.

Shoemate also credits the police for their speedy response. She said they kept her calm through the ordeal and even watched her toddler while she filed the report.

My doggy door has a lock on it when I choose to use it.  Daisy Lynn has a bell she can ring if she needs to go out during the night.  I don’t want to see anyone that looks like this creep in my house!  He is damn lucky that Smudge’s mom did no use her gun.

More loving hero hounds later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB hating criminals…)
