Howllo Fellow Hound and wrapping present lovers: OK – let’s not get carried away here. Who loves to wrap presents? Maybe at happy hour?? Anyway, I was getting ready to meet my Mom in the basement to tackle the tiresome task and I stopped to blockade the “fancy couch” from Emma getting on it. Ever since her Aunt Cindy came to visit and I allowed her up there for her massages she has done everything possible to re-claim her spot.

This is what I saw when I came back up from the basement to get some Sharpies…….

I swear – a human could not have made her more comfortable. Thank God my camera was on the table directly to my left. This is exactly what I saw as I entered the door. I moved to get a few more snaps.

Hey a girl needs her comfort!

I had to show you the full view. I called my Mom up and she did not believe me that I did not set this shot up. I swear to you. I did absolutely nothing. I did not even touch a pillow.

Oh Emmers…………you sure make life more fun!

Love, Cat, Chaps and the fun Emmers – staking her claim on the “fancy couch”!

I try to tie in a lot of symbolism from the past card I showed you. Click on the picture. Some of it is cut off. Again, click on the picture!

This is a rendition of the Cleo book – last page.

This card has a huge meaning. If you own the Cleo book you will see it! Hehehehe!

Please enjoy!

Howllo Fellow Hounds and Wisenheimer Wisdom Lovers: However, I am not sure how many lovers are out there???? I was reviewing my stats and it appears that not many folks visit Chaps every day to see what wisdom he has to give. The pearls he comes up with are priceless. Of course this is coming from his proud Mommy.

Click the picture and it will take you to the link on my website. I update it every day. However, the system that runs this company is having some troubles this weekend so Chaps, your Mayor has been silenced.

This was the main reason for posting this blog because I wanted his followers to know that he will probably be silenced all weekend. Poor Mayor!

More Wisenheimer Wisdom later……….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Hound and Christmas Card Lovers: I thought that you might want to see the Christmas card I designed back in 2002. It was quite the endeavor. It took hours and hours to create. I sent it out as an 8×10 poster. I keep meaning to have it blown up to a large poster size on foam core stock as a holiday decoration. It would look really cool hanging over the mantel for the season.

I had to load it for this posting as a medium size, but you must click on it to get all of the detail. I hope this does not bore you, dear reader, but I will point out few things within this stunning piece of work of art, (according to my Mom)!
Don’t cha just love Moms? LOL

OK, her goes, Santa is Grandpa. Lily and Chloe are his helpers. The sleigh is the bath tub in the Lily book. I just love that page. One of my favorite things is the present falling out of the sleigh and the big dipper catching it for Santa. The dogs are all family and friends. The chicuahua is Lisa’s dog. She is my friend and my graphic technician. The bull dog is Rosie and belonged to my younger sister. The Poodle is Pierre, he was my first dog as a child. The row of three are my older sister’s dogs from back to front, Tracker – Luna – and Lucy. The next two are Stella in the back who belonged to my younger sister and Natalie who was my first basset hound. Noah is leading the pack. He was also my younger sister’s dog.

Whew! Now that’s a pack of flying hounds!

I picked all of the land marks because they are my favorites. I have been to most of them. The group looking through binoculars is my Mom and the three girls. I am the yellow one.

Well, I hope you enjoyed the anatomy of my 2002 Christmas card. It was so much fun to do.

I might just have to get on that poster idea! Or, maybe I will wait until next year. LOL!

More memories later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Hound and Emma Lovers:

I was just putting Emma to bed and came up with a poem. I was placing my hands over her eye sockets and I said:

Momma knows that you cannot see

Momma knows you have a disability

Momma will keep you safe and sound in this reality.

Momma knows she has a perfect girl – We both can see.

I had to tell you guys something about our Emma. Every time when I am feeding her she tilts her head up to me with the the eye she had sight in for about year after she lost sight in her first eye. It really hits me hard. I know she is trying to see me.

It hurts me to know she is trying so hard. I am so in tuned to her. That is why I wrote the poem tonight.

Our Emma is so lucky to have Chaps, me, and my family. I really hope that some day we can curtail blindness in bassets. You can count on Emma and I to make our mark!

More poems later……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
