This is Colby Chaps. He is Chaps’ son and lives in TX. He will be the vice mayor of bassethoundtown.com. Colby is 4 years old. His Mom told me that he recently got to friendly with a skunk. She has a mixture she likes for odor removal. It is

1qt. peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1tsp dishwashing liquid. (I would use dawn). Be very careful around the face, almost to the point of putting up with the smell if hound was sprayed in the face. Do not get near the eyes.
Give two baths the first day, and according to his Mom, the smell was mostly gone.

By the way, Colby is currently not allow to go “hunting” in the back yard after 10:00pm! More from the Vice Mayor, later…..

Hello dear hound lovers. Here is my Diamond Chili recipe for your weekend pleasure. This is for the humans and not the hounds! As you can see Lily and Chloe are the diamond hounds!

298

2 pounds of the best ground beef you can find
1 chopped onion

1-3 jalaepenos – to your taste

6 oz can tomato paste

10.5 oz can tomato soup

15 oz can diced tomatoes

Two 15 oz cans of chili hot beans (most super markets carry this)

12-15 oz applesause (secret ingredient)

1 oz package hot chili seasoning mix, look in the sauce section of your store.
Crushed garlic to taste – careful!

INSTRUCTIONS:

Brown the beef along with the onion and jalapenos. Drain greese.

Slow cook then add tomato paste, tomato soup, diced tomatoe, the beans, apple sauce, chili seasonings, and garlic. Stir it up

Let it simmer for the better part of the day or until you cannot stand it anymore! When that happens, Get out the TX toast, butter, add your choice of cheese. Make sure the pan is hot. You want a sear on the bread. My favorite cheese is sharp chedder.
Slice the grilled cheese sandwich in a fashion that is good for dipping. Sit back and listen to your company say Yummmmmmmmmmm. Or just enjoy on your own.

Have a great weekend! Love Cat, Chaps, and Emma….More Later

Hi everyone. Look at this Jpeg I received this morning! It’s Charlene, Bailey and Clancy from Texas. They are in the Lily book because they are our dear friends from TX. Charlene is Chaps’ cyber Mom. What a great looking group! Keep checking back, because we are going to feature Charlene’s grandhound this weekend. CHAPS’ SON!

Hello friends and fellow hound lovers. I am going to be signing and selling the Lily Book this Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati, Ohio! Here is their website address in case you are interested.

http://www.contemporaryartscenter.org/

A portion of the sales from the Lily book will be donated to the CAC. The CAC helps local artists sell their stuff in an event called Good Design for the Holidays. Also attending is a very well known and respected artist, Beverly Erschell. She will be showing her watercolors and greeting cards. She did a watercolor for me of Lily and Chloe which is my favorite piece in my home.

I heard from BHRG that Sheldon is now in a foster home. He had been at Furry Friends for two months being medically treated. His foster home has two other basset boys and Sheldon is having a blast! The adoption coordinator thinks he will find a new home quickly because he is such a sweetheart! And quite handsome I might add! Good luck big boy! Your cyber Mom, Cat… More Sheldon updates to come!

Hello out there! I am home from the GA Bash and a great time was had by all. I made many friends and met many, many hounds. If you are visiting because of meeting me this weekend, please send me jpegs of your hounds via the contact page. We love to add new citizens to bassethoundtown.com. If you want to see some of the faces, (mostly hounds!) go to my Vlog and view the bash video. The great news is that Mamie, one of my charges, was adopted. Sheldon is still looking and we hope to help him along. Please, take a look at him. He is one of many that needs a good forever home.

His head is huge! He is a real lover boy and slept through the night under the covers, next to Mamie and me. Contact basset hound rescue of Georgia if you would like more information.

I will keep everyone updated as I will track his progress in his search! That’s all for now….More later, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Hello fellow hound lovers. Cat here, reporting prior to taking off for the bash. I will be video taping the adventure so make sure and check my vlog early next week. I will be posting pictures of the bash in my gallery. PLEASE, send Sheldon and Mamie your good vibes to be placed in a forever home. Of course I wish it for all of the homeless hounds, but it might just do me in if I have to take the two I am in charge of back to the shelter. Here are their pictures again.

I will be signing the Lily book and giving 5.00 from the sale of every book to the rescue. I am also donating 5 books to their raffle. I will also donate 5.00 from every book sold on this website over the weekend up until midnight Sunday night. I will mail GBHR the check Monday morning. So do your holiday shopping now and help the Georgia Peaches!!!! Well, I better get my rear in gear and get on down south! More Later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
