Howllo Fellow Hound and Theme Lovers: I started the day with the pink doors, so let me end the day with what happened on that pink day! I hope you enjoy!

My Mom, Chaps, Emma and I had the time of our life!

More times of our life later…….Cat, Mom, Chaps and Emma

Here comes Emma right down Santa Claus Lane!

December 10th, 2008 - 6:06 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and Santa Claus Lane Lovers! Just look at our Emma back in 2006! She was a super model in her new coat! A friend of ours sent her this lovely coat all the way from Japan!

It is really cozy and she loves it! Here is another pose!

I love old holiday memories. I hope you do as well!

More digging into the photo files later……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. OK, one more!

Emma could put any super model to shame! Slurp!

hehehehe

A holiday look back to pink doors in 2006!

December 10th, 2008 - 10:10 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and Looking Back Lovers: Wow – time sure does fly. I was updating my website this morning and picked the home page photo from a holiday album. Then I started wondering what year it was. It was 2006! My Mom and I were walking Chaps and Emma through town and had to stop at this church to take pictures of the kids. This is the Methodist Church.

Ahhhhh……..The kids look so cute. We had so much fun that day.

Here is a picture of our Emma. Looking so pretty in front of the pinkish doors. The doors used to be a brighter red, but the paint had faded a bit and they looked more pinkish – which I loved. They have since been re-painted to make them red.

I am so glad I captured them just how I like them!

More pink doors later………Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Don’t worry! There are plenty of apples for everyone!

December 9th, 2008 - 2:02 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and YouTube lovers! OMG – Check out this video!

More apples later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

Cute CA Kid loves Lily book!

December 8th, 2008 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and Cute CA Kid lovers! Devon just sent this picture to me of a kid who loves the Lily book!

Wow, a picture is worth a 10,000 words to me!

Can you imagine if Emma could get at this kid? He would be on the grass and then he would be screaming with laughter!

Thanks Devon for sending this picture. Lily is honored!

More honoring Lily later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

Is Emma spoiled? (yes)

December 8th, 2008 - 6:06 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and wondering if Emma is spoiled lovers! As you can see from this picture Emma is looking at the closet door. I tried to capture her scratching on the door, but I was not able to do that. She scratches and barks for new, clean toys. The toys surrounding her are not good enough! This picture shows only about 1/2 of all of the toys laying around her.

I have to keep an assortment of “fresh” toys for our girl when she gets a bee in her bonnet!
Thank goodness she has lots of toys!

More bees in the bonnet later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

Strollin’ through my blog roll!

December 8th, 2008 - 3:03 pm KY Time

Howllo Fewllo hound and strollin’ through my blog roll lovers: I love my blog roll and I sure hope you do. There is some good stuff listed on that roll if I do say so myself.

I was looking at how I roll and I thought I would check out
THE SAM SIMON FOUNDATION Link. I had not been on his site in a while. He is a hero of mine and when I get all growed up I want to be just like him. Let’s just hope I win the lottery.

Here is what it says at the bottom of the website:

We are a 501 C3 non-profit organization privately funded through the generosity of Mr. Sam Simon so we do not accept any public donations.
WE OFFER THESE SERVICES FREE OF COST TO ALL RECIPIENTS OF OUR PROGRAMS.

Mail inquiries: The Sam Simon Charitable Foundation

30765 Pacific Coast Hwy #113

Malibu, CA 90265

How could would it be to have that statement? My answer is, “very cool indeed”.

Then I started clicking around on his site and saw that the foundation is offering a free spay and neuter clinic. I am so impressed.

The Sam Simon Foundation’s mobile clinic provides FREE spay and neuter surgeries to dogs and cats belonging to low-income families of Los Angeles city residents. Research shows that the primary reason low-income pet owners, who do not want their pets to produce unwanted litters, don’t sterilize their cats and dogs is that they cannot afford the surgery. We are confident that if we can demonstrate that by offering free spay/neuter services, the number of animals that come into our city shelters will decrease, inspiring more cities around the country to adopt aggressive spay/neuter programs.

Wow – what a wonderful way to live a life. That’s just how he rolls! Thanks Sam

More about our hero later…Cat, Chaps and Emma

Cinnamon rolls, an Emu, and a basset hound!

December 7th, 2008 - 6:06 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and wild story lovers! It all started very innocently Sunday morning as Julian and I were eating breakfast and listening to the news. A story came across on the Today Show of a 6′ Emu running loose in St. Tammany Parish near New Orleans. It caught our attention of course!

We ate our Cinnamon rolls and listened intently. As I was cleaning up, Julian said he wanted to check out more details on the story. I told him to Google, “Emu on losse”. So, off he went, back to my office.

A few moments later he hollered, “Aunt Kit Kat, Aunt Kit Kat come quick – you are not going to like this!”

I ran to my office thinking that chocolate milk was spilled into my key board. Just as I entered my office Julian started reading……

“The emu, a flightless but fast-running bird that is native to Australia, was first spotted as it chased White’s basset hound early Thursday afternoon. White said he charged at the bird with a tree branch in each hand, eventually drawing its attention when he threw one branch at it.”

I had to laugh. The article goes on to state……

“White said the emu then charged at him, backing off only after he swung the second branch. For a few hours, it paced along a fence on White’s property as St. Tammany Parish sheriff’s deputies and animal control employees worked to corral or tranquilize it.

“It’s a danger to the neighborhood,” said White, who said he worried the bird might try to attack his grandchildren when they come to visit or go after his basset hound again.

White and animal control officials said the emu was likely raised on one of the farms that sprung up in the area in the 1990s, when emu meat and oil was considered a valuable commodity. When the fad died out toward the end of the decade, many farms, including one next to White’s home, released their birds into the wild, he said.

As deputies wrapped up their search, White seemed to take the incident with good humor.”

Just as Julian and I did. We hope the Emu is OK. It was no fault of the large fowl to run amok. People are so hap hazard. The poor Emu.

Can you imagine a 6′ Emu chasing your basset hound? OMG! Can life get any stranger? I guess not in New Orleans!!!!

I guess it is best that there are no pictures. Your imagination is probably better! LOL

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

P.S. Cinnamon rolls, Emus and a basset hound – who would have thunk it?????




Drunk abducts basset hound outside of Vancouver, WA restaurant!

December 6th, 2008 - 4:04 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and, how about that title lovers?!?!

OMG! It as been a day of news as far as basset hounds are concerned. This poor hound was abducted by a drunk outside of a restaurant. The story has a happy ending, but to me, leaving your hound tied up outside of a restaurant, is like leaving a baby stroller tied up in the same place.

Anyway, all’s well that ends well. Here is the link to the story. Don’t forget to watch the video. It has cute Cowboy footage.

http://www.kptv.com/news/18207786/detail.html

The owner was surprised that someone would steal a family pet, but it did not surprise me in the least.

More later, Cat, Chaps and Emma

The end of the world?

December 5th, 2008 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Hound and End of the World Haters! OMG! My nephew was telling me about different calendars (he said one was the Mayan?) that state that the end of the world is going to happen in 2012????

OK, my biggest concern prior to hearing this news was when the pizza delivery person would show up with the extra large pie and the 2 orders of cheesy flat bread! Just then the door bell rang.
I went and collected the greasy goodness and started making our plates.

I asked Julian what he thought about the end of world and he shrugged his shoulders and said,
“I sure hope where ever we wind up there is cheesy flat bread”!


Today was international day at school, hence the Bindi!

The kids second the notion of an after life with cheesy flat bread!

Emma nose was working a mile a minute!

Chaps snatched the first piece right out of her mouth. I made sure she got another taste.
She suffers so bad from food and all allergies. My goodness hopefully she can have as much as she wants in the cheesy flat bread after life!

More later as the Julian, the Mayans and I count down to 2012. Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
