Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and new trick lovers!!!  Daisy Lynn is part of a small group on facebook where she is working towards earning her novice trick certificate!!!  Can you even believe it?  We are having so much fun.  I will blog more about this as we move along with tricks but this one is called “Paws Up”.

The trick is seemingly simple, a hound only needs to put paws up on a stool.

“What the heck Mommy?”

Daisy Lynn caught on IMMEDIATELY!  Even without treats.

This is really amazing.  We are having so much fun and Daisy Lynn really seems proud of herself…

More loving “Paws Up”…later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB masters at rainbow tricks…)

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Super Duper Moon Lovers…Well, last night the Super Duper of all Super Moons came out over bassethoundtown!  OMDog – it was really super for sure.  So super that I saw 2 super moons…

Isn’t that funny?  hahahaha

Let me leave you with this image.  It was posted last night on our local news facebook page…I actually find it hard to believe but maybe it’s the angle.

According to the photog – this is super moon rising over Indian Hill, OH.  Wow – I sure hope it is real because it is real cool!

More loving super moons later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB watching the rainbow moon…)

PS – still more blogging to come on the final leg of our last Lily book tour.  I will get that done hopefully before we take off on the next paw of the tour coming up soon…YES!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and soooooo cute lovers!  Today, Grandma and I were doing a photo shoot with our young Mayor for the Lily Book.  I am working on getting Lily, a Basset Hound’s Tail of Love in several more online selling platforms.  Also, we are marketing to book stores and other cute stores…

OMDOG!!!

“Please everyone stop, listen and gather round this hound…for a story that is sure to inspire and touch your heart…”

“Can everyone hear me?”

“Reading the Lily book she was a survivor she brings tears to my eyes. Wish I would have known her.” – via Grandma’s twitter…

Oh, I thought that was so cute and touching.  It is just what Daisy Lynn would think and say and Grandma knew it…

More loving my girls later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB reading the Lily Book…)

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Be Careful Lovers…The other day Grandma, Daisy Lynn and I were at the park enjoying a beautiful early fall day…That is until we turn the corner and a couple is walking towards us with their unleashed pit bull.  Ugh…What?  REALLY???

I holler, “Please leash your dog!!!”, over and over again and they are standing there looking at me like I said please kill your dog.  It is freaking amazing the stupidity of some people.  It’s not a negotiation – it’s the law.  So, the rather large African American man starts yelling at me, telling me that the reason there are leash laws are only for bad dogs like mine who is pulling on her leash.  He is demonstrating to me howl his pit bull can sit on command.  By now I have figured out that I am dealing with little to no reality with this guy so I tell the girl he is with that there is a pit bull ban in this town.  She looks at me again like I told her to please kill her dog.  She yells at me,  “my dog is a boxer!” In her most adamant tone…

This is going from bad to worse.  I really feel sorry for all the boxers out there that have to put up with this scam to label pit bulls as boxers or lab boxer mixes.  It really is insulting to the breed and to people like me who have to hear this over and over again.  I ask you, howl are all of these boxers and labs getting together to fill every shelter to the gills? Do these people really expect us to believe this?  What is so frightening is some young families do believe this and go home with these unworldly lab boxer mixes putting them and others at risk.

Geezus things go from bad to worse as the man is getting more and more agitated with his demonstration of commands.   I wind up calling our Animal Control Officer and exit the scene.  The couple wander off with their unleashed pit bull type dog and we make it home with all of our limbs and Daisy Lynn intact.  The ACO shows up and tickets them for no license and having their “boxer” off leash.

For the life of me I cannot understand this current fascination with pit bull type dogs.  So far this year 28 humans have been mauled to death by pit bull type dogs.  28!  The animals that have been killed are countless.

Just a day in the park – fearing for your life and the lives of those who you love.

More not loving this current fascination later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB protecting all of us…)

PS – leash your dog

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Share Time Lovers…I saw this somewherez on the internet and tucked it away in my “to do list” file!

Isn’t it cute???

It looks like a taco salad topped off with a crust basset hound.

I am thinking I might do this at my next luncheon.

I certainly have something similar…

That tail is the tricky part.  It is hard to cut out anything with it.  I think I can just add on a tail made of crust.

I will let you know howl it goes…

More loving crust tails later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB eating rainbow tacos;)

PS – extra sour cream please…

Howllo Fellow Basset and hunkering down lovers!  Yesterday we went out run a few errands.  One of which was filling up our care package for our Julian who is away at OSU!  What a fantastic campus.  We cannot wait to go and visit him.  Anyway…we were supposed to get a few evening storms but this was a doozie!

This is 2 streets down from our street and main headquarters of bassethoundtown enterprises!  Daisy Lynn was in her safe house, aka kennel.  We were so worried.  We could not pass through this mess.  The power pole snapped in half!

So, we checked her camera that is aimed on her kennel and she was sleeping.  We were live viewing when the electric shut off!

So with her safe and tucked in what could we do???

Ya turn around pronto and go to our favorite Mexican Restaurant!  Lord have mercy!!!  The margarita machine was at optimal performance!  Thank Dog their electric did not go out!

#lifeisgood

Then, after a dose of delicious we ventured out to head home.  Our town is amazing and the whole thing was cleaned up but the electric was still off.

What to do, what to do???

Remember reading???  Reading a real book???

It was a stroke of genius that we had stopped by the library earlier in the week…

No lights?  No problem…

I grabbed my flash light and dove right in!

Have any of the resident read this book?  So far I really like it.  It’s a murder mystery involving a basset hound, a little boy and the people who come to their rescue.  The basset is not the one murdered or the little boy…FYI…

What a nice way to spend a Saturday evening…

Eventually, the lights came back on and TV started screaming at me but I turned it off and kept reading…

More loving a good basset hound book later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB drinking rainbow slush puppies…)

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Queen and Mayor Lovers…Yes, our Daisy Lynn sure looks like a Queen atop her Kingdom!

Daisy Lynn and I were in the backyard just checking out the back hill and of course I had my camera with me.

Then I captured the “money shot”!

What a way to start September in bassethoundtown.  The weather is perfect and the hound even more perfecter! hehehe

More loving perfecter later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB waddling down a perfecter rainbow…)

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Early Morning Misty Summer Air Lovers.  Yesterday morning kinda reminded me of our late Emma (Early Morning Misty Air).  There was a kind of a freak coolness to the air and a mist.  I went out front, it was about 6:15ish.  I was looking around to see if the deer got to my flowers again.

They appeared pretty good.  I put out more deer scram out the night before.

Look close, the Mayor is in the Ladies Room!

It was such a great morning!

Really great for a morning nap!

More loving misty air in the morning later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB in rainbow mist;)
