Howllo Fellow Hound and Valentine’s day gift lovers:
As many of the readers of this blog know, Devon and I are raising money for the House of Puddles this year. We have a goal of 10,000 dollars. We have a Firstgiving page. If you donate to this page, your money goes directly into the 501(c)3 account for the House of Puddles.
We have updated our page with a sweet fun Valentine’s day theme as well as a new pink dream necklace. This new necklace was introduced by Devon specifically for the House of Puddles and your Valentine’s day shopping treasure.
PLEASE NOTE: WE NEED YOUR DONATION OF 20.00 OR MORE BY 2-4-08 TO BE SHIPPED BY VALENTINE’S DAY!
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONATED, THANK-YOU! Guess what? You can still do us a huge favor. Do you know anyone who is shopping for Valentine’s day and would like the new necklace or a package of greeting cards from bassethoundtown? If you do, will you pass our Firstgiving link to them so they can LQQK? (It is right below)
This is great way to shop because you can tell the person you are buying for that they not only received a great gift, but 100% of the money that you spent on the gift was donated to the House of Puddles! Howl sweet is this deal? Slurp!
Tell your Valentine how special they are as well as telling the HopPers how special they are!
Here is the link to our Firstgiving page:

If you have not seen the new YouTube video I made, it is now on our FG page.
The amount that Devon and I will raise is only one third of what Marilyn will need this year.
She has just taken in a new old HoPper who had to have 19 teeth pulled! His name is Billy.
Look how cute he is! Marilyn said he is going to feel so much better.
Again, thank you for your help and past, present, and future donations!
PLEASE REMEMBER TO PASS OUR FG PAGE LINK TO AS MANY FOLKS AS YOU CAN, BASSET AND NON BASSET ALIKE! BLING IS FOR EVERYONE! ALSO THE NECKLACE CAN BE WORN AS A DOG TAG ON ANY SPECIAL HOUND’S COLLAR! DOUBLE SLURP!

THIS IS THE CORRECTED POSTING FOR THE ELDERLY LADY IN NEED!
Howllo Fellow Hound and Bonnie lovers!
Bonnie, age 11 (approx) is in a desperate situation. She is part of a trio that need homes. The other two have found their way into the loving care of:
House of Puddles and Sr. Hounds Abound.
These 3 were living together but due to a health emergency, the foster mother has with her daughter, they have to be placed urgently.
The reason Bonnie is harder to place is because she is an Alpha Female. She gets along great with the males in the home but she wants to rule the roost as the only gal! My goodness, give the girl what she wants! To be the only gal in the pack, or just an only hound!
Bonnie is currently in foster care with 4 the Hounds Basset Rescue Inc.
They are located in Reed Spring, MO
Here is her Petfinder page. Click here to see Bonnie and how sweet she is!
She is so cute, just look at her!
Can you love this older gal? I bet she will make you smile all day long.
Click on the Petfinder link right above for all of the contact information. Or e-mail me:
More Later about Bonnie and the transport for the other two hounds.

Howllo Fellow Hound and Kip Lovers! Today is Kip’s birthday, 1-13-08 and we have a present for him. It is in honor of his new fund-raiser called, CHANGE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Here is what Kip is proposing…..
“How about for the next month we take a jar and throw our change in that jar at the end of the day. At the end of the four week period, take the jar to the bank, they can run the change through their change machine thingy, give you the cash and then send it off to Marilyn. Enough of us doing that could really add up to a nice amount. It would be fun to see what all our change will add up to and think how good we will feel. I am starting today. Who else would like to join in? I will post my total Feb. 10th.”
Donations…
All donations are used to help pay for food, veterinary care and other healthcare needs of the dogs.
As a 501(c)3 charitable organization, donations to House of Puddles are tax deductible.
Checks can be mailed to:
House of Puddles, Inc.
4422 Reels Mill Rd.
Frederick, Md. 21704
Or you can donate to olddogs@houseofpuddles.org with PayPal
OK, here is bassethoundtown.com’s present to you!
We had already started collecting our change and as you can see it looks pretty hefty for just a few days! (OK, I cleaned my car) Teehehehehehehehe!
In honor of your birthday and your new fund-raiser Chaps and Emma will match whatever is in the jar on 2-10-08! We will send Marilyn the total in Gus and your names.
We love you KIP! Thanks for all of the help you do for hounds and the inspiration you provide as a friend and a co-fund-raiser!
CHANGE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Rudolph Lovers!
As many of my readers know, Rudolph has a new Mommy. He was not a good fit for the House of Puddles. He did not like other boy dogs! He did however, like the ladies! Hence, his neuter surgery is pending as it should be.
Poor Rudolph, he also has heart-worm. Marilyn will be paying for his treatment and neuter surgery.
It is so expensive! It will probably reach 1000.00 dollars just for both of these procedures.
Rudolph’s new Mommy is holding a silent auction. This item is something she hold dear to her heart! It is Butterscotch’s coat. Butterscotch was Gail’s beloved hound who is now at the rainbow bridge.
You can bid on it via her e-mail. I know that there is a 40.ºº bid on it so far, so you have to bid higher than that! Here is her e-mail!
I am having trouble linking to Rudolph’s MySpace and Dogstar pages. I will make sure I get those links for everyone! But for now, here is the cute coat/cape that anyone’s hound would be honored to wear!
Emma really wants it, so we will be bidding!
Bidding ends Sunday night 1-13-08!
Keep checking this blog and the Daily Drool for updates!
Gail’s beloved Butterscotch wearing her coat! Just breath taking!
