Howllo Fellow Hound and Mommy lovers! I just wanted to say how much I love my Mom and how much my hounds love her as well. We depend on her every day! She is just the sweetest Mommy in the whole wide world. Do you want to hear one of her favorite songs?

Very fitting for a Kentucky Mom! I am getting ready to take her out for brunch and I hope to have some pictures later on. I hope you had fun on Mother’s day!

Have a great one from your friends at bassethoundtown.com

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!

More hair updates later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Hound and Little Gift Lovers:

Yesterday the bassatabulous Lisa Riggs of Evans Riggs Design was over doing some graphic design work for me. I wanted to do a little something special for our Lynne and what is better than a little something featuring her hound, Huckleberry???

Well, I put on the ole thinking cap and went sniffing around her Cafe Press store,
The Hounds of the Basketville!

This is where I found all of the pictures of Huckleberry.

Lisa is a master at collage making and the voila, the perfect little gift!!! As you can see, Chaps had me attach the key to the town.

Our Huckleberry is the Mayor today! 5-9-08 is hear by proclaimed Lynne and Huckleberry Flood Hound Day and will forever remain as such!

We love you Lynne and we know you love your little gift! Slurp!

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

Much More Later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

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 Emma Lovers: The Joy Ride was magnificent. The weather was great and any time we get in the BHV without going to the vet is a huge party! Emma was so excited to hear people and she LOVES jumping on them. I warn the masses but many do not seem to mind. You have never seen so many smiles in all of your life. Our Emma’s back legs were coming right off the ground as she hurled her long body onto any human in her path. I was calling her the identified flying object.

Chaps entered the store like he had his own personal trampoline! He was so proud. He is always sure he is the reason everyone is where he is.

It was all I could take, to get them in and out of the store so the only picture I have is on the home page. I am soooooooo sorry. Many of Emma’s followers have e-mailed me today to ask how her Joy Ride went!

We had a Joyful blast. She had soooooo much fun. I need to get this girl out more. I know my mission and I am sticking to it!

More meeting the masses later! Cat, Chaps and Emma, Miss Congeniality! Slurp!
