Emma has a new YouTube video! As a pup!

Howllo Fellow Hound and Emma as a pup lovers:

I took some massive footage four years ago of the kids when we got home from BoBac Bassets in TX. The only problem was, it is all on a VCR tape! OMG – How times change! Emma could see back then and Chaps had no gray hair!

I was finally able to transfer it to a format that I could edit on my Mac. This YouTube video is just a tiny portion of the actual footage. Which means, I have much more to come!

Here is Emma’s debut as a pup!

Here is what I wrote about it on YouTube:

Hey everyone!

I took the video footage of this film when Emma was just a young pup! It was on a VCR tape. I was just able to have it converted so I could edit it on my Mac. I just loved seeing Emma looking at me again. It was so much fun.

Emma is blind now from primary closed angle glaucoma. She went blind around age 2. This is a disease that is inherited.

Emma is not one to sit on her her pretty haunches and hope someone does something. So, she set up her own fund to help the Canine Health Foundation research Basset Hound Glaucoma. Do you want to visit her Firstgiving Page?

More Later…Cat, Chaps and Emma – Making friends from around the globe!

Music – Friends by Elton John

Go ahead – Sing along!

I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go

Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything’s all right

It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly

More Later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. there are ads on this page because I am using an Elton John song.

That is how YouTube does it now. I love the fact that they still let us use cool songs.

More Friends later……Cat, Chaps and Emma

OMG – My sisters and I listened to this for hours on end in the early 1970s.

    I get so sad, when I think of sweet little Emma being blind. It seems so cruel.

    This made me cry…..I just love watching Emma look at you. She is such a fighter, and has such a full spirit. What a Girl — our girl!

    Maureen and Slinky – No truer words have ever been spoken. It is cruel. Emma’s breeders knew she had glaucoma and did not tell me. I might have been able to save her sight. Maybe not forever, but for longer.

    They make me sick.
