Howllo Fellow sitterupper hound lovers! Check out this Saturday night at YouTube vid. It kind of gets screwed up due to a rotation problem, but it is totally cute!
Do you know a hound that can sit up? Did you know that there is a sitteruppers’ club for basset hounds? Well, of course there is!

Howllo Fellow Hound Lovers!
I was just checking on Cat, the basset hound that Devon picked up from a high kill shelter a few days ago and I saw that she had raised 50.00 on her firstgiving page!!! So, I scroll down, and guess who? Kip and Gus Massett!!! You guys are so sweet. I love the fact that Devon in CA, I am in KY and Kip and Gus are in MN, but we are like neighbors. What a great feeling.
Fundraising target: $250
Total raised so far: $50.00 Kip and Gus 6/28/2007 $50.00
(Kip and Gus’ comment!)
You are an angel Devon. We have 2 Cats to love !
Here is Cat’s Firstgiving Page again.

Of course I am on pins and needles because of the lottery drawing. I bought a dollar ticket to split with Devon. The haul after taxes would be a cool 3 mil a piece. I bought the ticket in honor of Cat the Hound. So, let those air balls rise to our numbers. Our ticket is a few blogs down so you can see it. The drawing is at 10:58pm Eastern Standard Time! Come on planets!

A hound named Cat
Howllo Fellow Hound Lovers. The planets lined up today for this posting. (Or maybe it’s the blue moon tonight!) I had been thinking of Lily all day and all of my hounds at the rainbow bridge. Then I watched Devon’s Birthday Montage again. If you have not seen it, type the word montage in the blog search area. It is so sweet. I love the song, Somewhere over the Rainbow that she used so much. Then I googled the artist who sings this version,
Israel Kamakawiwi’Ole
What a wonderful artist.
Then, to top it off, I just got home from taking a walk and received 5 bucks from Kip and Gus for basset bucks. Kip writes:
Hi Cat, Chaps and Emma,
Just heard Billy Ray Cyrus sing Over The Rainbow. It was beautiful. It made me think of all the precious hounds at the bridge so I needed to send a little something for them. Love you guys!!
Kip and Gus
Billy Ray does not have his rendition on YouTube, but the fabulous Israel does. Enjoy and remember all of your dearly departed. Thank you Kip and Gus! Lily is smiling from the Rainbow Bridge right now.
Gone from this earth ten years ago this month 6-26-07
Throughout the latter part of his life, Iz was significantly obease and at one point carried 758 pounds on his 6’2” frame. He died of weight related respritory illness at the age of 38. Over 10,000 people attended his funeral. His ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean at Makua Beach. He was a powerful supporter of Hawaiian rights and Hawaiian independence. He made a difference and he is still making a difference. Thanks Iz!

Howllo Fellow Hound Lovers. The cases just poor in. Here is an e-mail I received this morning from Dawn of the West (BaRNI at Daphneyland).
The call came in this morning.
A 2 year old female who has been bred two times by a previous owner – who moved and rehomed the “stud” but couldn’t find a home for the female, so an all breed rescue took her in.
Problem. She is 7 weeks pregnant.
Her name is Roxie, and she arrives by private plane courtesy of the Alsups from the Modesto area on Friday afternoon…..
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Anyone interested in fostering a Mom, whelping the puppies in about 2 weeks and then giving up 10 weeks of your summer to weaning???? And you thought we asked too much already!!!!
Please meet “Roxie” 2 years of age and about to have her third litter of puppies.
The photo below is of Roxie and the “Dad” to her litter…….
Interested parties please contact us here at the ranch.
We will be putting together a list of everything we’ll need to whelp this litter – stay tuned….

Well, there you have it. Yet another needy case. Remember, Dawn told us that July is the worst month of the year for dumped hounds and these do not even fit into that scenario. July is when all the Holiday pups get the boot because of various reasons including family vacations, moving, and the kids go to camp.
Man O Man, I wish I could win that lottery.

Howllo Fellow Hound and Lottery ticket lovers. I told Devon earlier today that I would buy us a lottery ticket to split 50/50, if I won. It is in honor of “Cat” the basset she rescued over the weekend. The jackpot is up to 15 million, and the cash pay out is about 6 million. Here is our ticket.
So, if you could all sling some slobber it might help. Can you imagine what Devon and I could do with 6 million dollars? I think I hear hounds howling!
More Later…Cat, Devon (and her crew), Chaps, Emma and needy hounds!

Howllo Fellow Hound and “Cat” lovers! Devon is so funny. However, this little girl might not be laughing. Here is the e-mail I got from Devon:
Hi Cat:
I helped transport 2 hounds yesterday. The male was already named Chiraz. I named the little girl, Cat. In your honor for everything you do for the hounds and Devon’s Dream. She is about 4 years old, beautiful, sweet and gave me constant kisses on the way to Daphneyland!
They both need some medical attention, so I will be setting up a Firstgiving page for them both. 🙂 I’ll e-mail you the links. 🙂
We also took in a senior boy hound named Riley. He has an awful skin condition, due to neglect. I’m setting up a page for him too! 🙂
Love ya Cat!
So, here is the link Devon sent to me yesterday to Cat’s Firstgiving Page. What a cute girl. I think Devon or I or both of us need to win the lottery, YESTERDAY! Devon, FYI when I run errands today I will buy us a ticket. I swear! If I win, we are splitting it! Your friend and naming inspiration, Cat
