Howllo Fellow Hound and Rudy Loves: There is no update. I had my nephew today and we were at a place that I had no cell phone coverage. It killed me.
What’s a gal to do? Sigh
I cannot find out anything until Monday.
Stay tuned,,,,,,More Later…….Cat, Chaps, Emma, Julian, and our Rudy!
Howllo Fellow Hound and Rudy Lovers: I called the Campbell County Animal Shelter last night to check on our Rudy. He was still at the shelter. His owners had been called a total of 4 times with no return phone call. My contact told me that, “Oh, this happens every day, and more and more because of the economy”. Yes folks our Rudy is a sign of the harsh times. But not for long! My friend and fellow rescuer, Chris Dowd has agreed to board Rudy if his owners do not pick him up by Monday at close of business.
Everyone who has met him, loves him. They keep raving about what a good boy he is. So sweet and loves other dogs
I will call this morning to check on him. They open at 9:00 and close at 1:00. I am leaving today at 9:30 to go get my nephew. We are going to have a weekend of fun. I was hoping to pop over to the shelter to check on Rudy, but my contact said that it might be too hectic because they are short help.
As the details unfold, I will update everyone who is pulling for our Rudy.
Thanks for all of the comments.
More about our Rudy later….Cat, Chaps, Emma and our Rudy!
BREAKING NEWS – 10:16AM – THE SHELTER JUST OPENED AND OUR RUDY WAS A SECOND TIME STRAY FROM FT. THOMAS, KY – MY TOWN! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? A SECOND TIME STRAY! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I HOPE HE DOES NOT GO BACK TO HIS SO-CALLED OWNERS. THE SHELTER CONTACTED THE OWNERS ON THE 23RD AND SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT COLLECTED HIM. BY COUNTY LAW HE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION UNTIL TUESDAY. THE SHELTER HAS MY NAME AND NUMBER AND WILL UPDATE ME AS NEED BE. I AM GOING T CHECK ON HIM LATER TODAY AND TOMORROW.
I MADE A SECOND PHONE CALL TO OUR ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER WHO PICKED RUDY UP FOR THE SECOND TIME. SHE SAID HE IS A VERY YOUNG, SHORT, LEAN BOY WHO IS NEUTERED. HE IS EXTREMELY SWEET . SHE SAID THAT ALL HE WANTS IS TO BE LOVED. POOR RUDY. MORE LATER……
Howllo Fellow Hound and Rudy Lovers: This guy was brought to my attention last night while surfing the net. His name is Rudy and he was dumped by his owner. Rudy is at the Campbell County Animal Shelter in Melbourne, KY. This shelter is about 15 minutes from my house. It is a High Kill shelter. I am going to call on him when the shelter opens at 10:00 this morning. I cannot foster. Chaps will not allow it. When I tested the waters with fostering it always turned out bad for someone. Mostly the foster. Chaps cannot tolerate any other dogs besides Emma in the house.
I sure wish I had a rescue money fund. I would pull him in a second and board him at my vets. They charge about 35.00 dollars a day. They would have to isolate hims.
So, if anyone is out there in this area that can foster this poor boy or adopt hims, here is his info:
Poor Rudy.
More about Rudy later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Hound and taking a walk to the park lovers:
This morning was one word. Glorious! It was a cool 62 degrees and a perfect breeze was blowing. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, my Mom calls it, basset mornings.
So we harnessed the kids up and away we went. The park is about a 15 minute walk, depending on what smells are presenting themselves along the way. My Mom had Emma and it is such a joy for me to watch her strut her stuff, and boy does she have some stuff. She can twist that rear end like no bodies business.
When we get to the park we head to a very sturdy pole to hook the kids up.
It is in the shade and near a water fountain. I fill up their zip lock bags with water. Each zip lock has ice cubes in it. They love it. I also carry a few pieces of raw potato for a treat.
The kids rest here and Grandma takes off for a power walk back to the end of the park.
I wait with the kids and take off when Grandma gets back. You can see her, on the road with the white hat on. The kids see her too. Well, I guess Chaps sees her, Emma probably smells her.
Hey, here comes Grandma. It was really fun at the park today because the High School Cross Country Track team was practicing. What a great looking bunch. No over weight teens in that bunch. Emma cheered them on and Chaps did his bit by slinging slobber on them. It was too funny.
It’s Mommy’s turn to power walk, off I go! I think I would keel over if I had to catch one of those cross country kids. Here is the view as I head back. The kids and Grandma are under the picnic shelter.
Hey, I can tell the kids are posing pretty, I will try my zoom lens.
Darn, it’s a bit blurry, but I had to post it. I was right. Look how pretty.
Now a better shot!
I’m back from my walk and it’s time to go home. The kids need their morning nap. Thanks for going on our walk with us. If you lived closer you could meet us at the park! It’s a blast
More fun later…Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Hound and storm lovers: I just love a great thunderstorm, too bad I have not been able to love one for about 15 years. I have always had a hound that was petrified of thunderstorms.
Last night I did not go to bed until 1:00am. Chaps woke me up at 2:00am. The thunderstorms rolled through until 4:30am. I got up at 6:00am. You do the math! At one point I had Chaps wrapped up in a blanket like an over stuffed burrito trying to simulate a comfort wrap. He was so confused by it that it seemed to help. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. I am sure sleep deprivation factored in. Emma, as usual, slept through the entire event.
Here is my current state:
Here is Chaps’s current state:
Weather report………More storms predicted later today. The Mayor needs his rest so he can keep me up again all night. Oh Lord, scoot over big boy, I comin’ in!
More weather reports later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Hound and blog lovers: To those of you who read blogs, do you ever notice that at some point the blogger just stops blogging? I always wonder about that. Do the bloggers get tired of themselves?
And then there are the prolific bloggers who drone on and on about a favorite pair of shoes….hehehehe.
Today I was reading a blog from a woman who gets paid to blog. She has massive advertising on her site and get 25,000 hits a day. She just tells the tales of her life. Cyber women eat it up when she talks about how in love and deliriously happy she is. (good for her, bless her heart) I also would be deliriously happy if I got paid to blog.
Anyway, I want to get paid to blog! Wouldn’t that be a great way to raise money for the hounds?
Tap, tap, tap….any advertisers out there that want to pay me to blog?
Tap, tap, tap…..Are you out there, is this thing on? I can be deliriously happy! I am interesting, I swany! OK, at least Chaps and Emma are!
Chaps waiting for his close up – if you are bored at work, click the pic and count the whiskers!
More waiting for my big break later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma
(aka deliriously happy hounds)
That’s gotta be worth a pet food ad???? Don’t cha think????
P.S. I tried google ads and I hated it. They need to work on that.
Howllo Fellow Hound and Vintage bassethoundtown YouTube Lovers:
Have you seen this one?
Just wondering?
I made it with love!
More production later! Slurp!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Tired Dog Lovers:
Well, my shoes and I are home from the wedding. We had a great time. My shoes were far from the spotlight as the bride shined beyond belief.
This is her with her Daddy.
This is her beautiful Mommy!
I had a great time. It is always nice to see a couple in love.
I had my own couple waiting for me! They were just as in love with the McDonald’s French fries I brought them home! (Since Emma cannot see she gets a much smaller section. I wash the salt off of them as well!)
Ah……….Love is in the air!
More Later…Cat, Chaps and Emma
Howllo Fellow Hound and Shoe Lovers: Well, I do not fall into the latter category. I am just not a shoe person. The last time I bought a pair of shoes was 3 years ago and they are going to a wedding with me tonight! I should have RSVP’d for 3 instead of 1 because these kicks might possibly out shine the bride!
Oh yeah, her! Just kidding. She is Melissa, my dear, dear friend’s niece. Janie is my dear, dear friend. I met her in kindergarten and we have been bestest friends since then.
Anyway, back to my shoes. I spotted them from across the brightly lit fluorescent discount warehouse. The industrial glare of the humming bulbs made them shine like little jewels. The clouds parted and the angels sang, they were my size! I have never had that feeling for shoes before or since. Without further hesitation, my dates for this evening………..my shoes! LOL
The bride will be mad. I might show her up in the foot ware department!
You would not believe what I paid for my dates!
Right after I found my new friends I saw them in the Macy’s catalogue for 500.00!
I paid 19.99 and I bought them in every color they had! OK, I go nowhere where I can wear them, but I know they are all mine! Mine all mine!
Now I must go and find the perfect outfit!
More about my dates later…..Cat, Chaps, Emmers, and my shoes!
Howllo Fellow Hound and Mayor Lovers: Well, our Mayor is back to 100% and he just came in from playing with is bestest furend, Emmers!
I smell the Mayor! Let’s play!
Hey this is fun!
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Chaps flashing his dazzling, bright smile!
Wait….Duty calls, I must protect the women folk – stay back Emmers!
Wow, I am bushed. Play, Protect then Pass out!
More about the 100% Mayor Later….Cat, Chaps and Emmers
