Kip getting ready for the big hair cut! Gus, lending his support!

Howllo Fellow Hound and bald Kip Lovers: We had so much fun last night in a barber shop chat room with Kip. I would have invited all of my readers, but it was on a private group board. I really would have loved to have it on my website! It sure was fun!

Lynne was present the entire time and it was so great to lend her some support.

Kip had a few problems with his internet connection so the pictures did not come across until this morning.

 

 

Kip 1/2 bald!

And finally! BALD IS BEAUTIFUL! Especially when you make a donation in Lynne’s name to the House of Puddles!

Drum roll please…….

Kip and Lynne you both look fantastic!

Here is the link to our FirstGiving page:

Kip raised 185.00 dollars last night in honor of Lynne! Good Job! It only shows 85.00 on the page because both Lynne and her sister gave to the Gold Rush page. Hey, it all goes to the same place.

We love you Lynne!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Bald Guy and Gal lovers: Well, Kip, you have 6 hours left before you buzz off all of that silver hair!

Kip has the following message for all bassethoundtown residents!

“Hi all,
We have a friend, Lynne, who has been dealt a tough hand. She is playing the cards with courage, dignity and a positive attitude. She truly is an inspiration. Even with all she is going through, she is still helping hounds by fostering and being a wonderful Mom to her furbabies and has also been a wonderful friend to the many of us that love her.
In her honor and to be by her side in her fight, I plan to shave my head and I will keep it shaved until Lynne gets well. and I know she will. All the drool and love coming her way and her positive attitude is what it takes.
Although for a lady it might not be what she wants, I have to say she looks darn good. I hope I look just an eighth that good.
I am also asking that in Lynne’s name you make a donation to The House of Puddles. There will be a Firstgiving Page set up. I will be doing a video of the hair coming off.
I take my cap off to you Lynne, and soon there will be nothing under that cap.
We love you!!!
Kip, Gus , Bonnie, Cat, Chappers and Emmers”

Well said Kippers! We will be unveiling the FirstGiving Page soon! Sooooooo Stay Tuned fellow town hounds and gather round our Lynne! Slurp

Howllo Fellow Hound and “We Love Lynne Day” Lovers! Many of you maybe asking, what is this day all about? Well, let me just tell you. Bassethoundtown has a very dear friend named Lynne. She has a hound named Huckleberry Flood Hound. He is very famous indeed! He was just on the cover of the Bugler Magazine a few months ago!

Our Lynne has brain cancer and is fighting this terrible disease with courage, dignity and fortitude. At this point in her treatment, our Lynne has lost all of her hair. She is still as beautiful as ever but a little weak. Our Kip has stepped in to be a shoulder to lean on. He said, “if Lynne has to lose her hair, so do I!”

So, folks Kip will be shaving his head, tonight at 7:00 eastern standard time. I will be updating this blog all day long with breaking news and breaking photos. A YouTube video will follow, but not tonight!

In Lynne’s name, Kip and I have set up a firstgiving page and all donations made will be in honor of Lynne and go towards the elders at the House of Puddles. I will be posting the link a bit later so please check back!

Kip it looks like you need a haircut! LOL

Howllo Fellow Hound and Trading Post Lovers: The wonderful items just keep flowing in from the mountain streams. This donation is from the Just wonderful Jaclyn!!! We cannot thank you enough my dear!

These precious pieces brought 30.00 for the weight of the gold. As you can see from the picture there are 2 stones. One is a 14 point marquee diamond and the other is a smaller tanzanite earring stud. I elected to keep the stones for a charm I am filling for the House of Puddles. These gorgeous stones will be added to the charm. I feel I can get more for their value with this additional piece I am creating. It will be stunning so stay tuned for this bassethoundtown original. The 14 point marquee diamond will be a bassetabulous addition, not to mention the lavender tanzanite!

Thank you Jaclyn, I am heading over to the Firstgiving Page to update it with your donation.

You are one pawsome miner!

Howllo Fellow Hound and panning for gold lovers: Kip and Lisa sent in the contents of their pans about a week ago. I am just getting all of their totals together. Lisa’s item was too nice to scrap so that meant I had to add it to the HOP boutique on my website! I have just now done that and I must tell you this chain is super sweet! Here is the link to view it:

Lisa Massett’s chain in the HOP boutique

Please view this link because this is one golden opportunity to purchase a bassetabulous chain for the golden hoppers! Just stunning! Thank you soooooooo much Lisa. Your donation is totally pawsome!

Kip also sent two gold bands that brought in 45.00 dollars. Here are the pictures.

As you can see, they are a bit beat up, but that does not matter one bit when you are turning in your gold. Gold is at a record high and if we all turn in our bits and pieces it all adds up for the House of Puddles.

Please keep in mind, if you send me something that is in good condition, and after consulting with my jeweler, and we both agree, your item/s will go into the
HOP Boutique on my website. Folks, I can always scrap these items. But for now, if we can get more, I am MORE, than willing to take the time and showcase, market, and sell these items for MORE than scrap value!

OK, I am now on my way over to my Firstgiving Page to add the Massett donation.

Please stay tuned, because Kip is starting his own Firstgiving Page for the HOP. We love you Lynne!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Gold Lovers: We are finally ready to report information from the mines of PA. Sharyn sent a bassetabulous mining pan and we were so excited to get it. Contained within the pan were several items. A 10K gold ring with a few one point diamonds worth 56.50.

How wonderful! A few of the stones were loose so it was not an item to go into the HOP boutique. We are thrilled with the amount raised from this pretty little ring!

Sharyn also sent several beautiful sterling chains. My jeweler and I both agreed I should keep them and use them to raise more money for the HOP. I have my thinking cap on.

They are all delightful, and only one was broken! I have some good ideas for these beauties. Rest assured they are all going towards the HOP!

For this blog posting I am saving the best for last! Hehehehe!

It is an item that I am listing in the HOP BOUTIQUE! This is not to be missed folks.

It is an 18K gold bracelet. Here is the link to the boutique listing.

Italian Milor – 18K double S link bracelet

It is just stunning and not to be missed. Sharyn, we cannot thank you enough for this bassetabulous item.

Friends, you must click and see it. I am so happy that someone will have an 18K gold HOP support bracelet. Just stunning.

Howllo Fellow Hound and Ocean City Lovers: I heard from Marilyn at House of Puddles that the weather was spectacular yesterday and Ocean City NJ and today is reported as a carbon copy. Here is a the link to the weather so you can keep checking yourself.

http://www.wunderground.com/US/NJ/Ocean_City.html

Marilyn has Gus and Laverne with her in Ocean City. A very good looking couple indeed! Melynda is in attendance with her girls, Lilly and Becky.

Lucien will be sorely missed. He was a board walk favorite last year. Lucien left us for the bridge just a short time ago.

Have fun everyone and waddle for those Tri-State homeless hounds that need all of our support. These are tough economic times and more and more homeless hounds are showing up at shelters, dumped by the side of the road, and left in foreclosed homes. We can help and have fun! This is the 10th year for this waddle and it just get’s better and better if that is possible.

Great Job Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue. You make a huge difference!
