Howllo Fellow Hound and Valentine Lovers: I was not able to get all of my cute pictures of Chaps and Emma on the Blog yesterday because of the big crash! I am still trying to figure that one out. I had the big Valentine’s day surprise with the love doves and then, my system crashed withing seconds? Toooooo weird!

Anyway, I did get these pictures loaded and the kids were thrilled with their treats! Maureen and Slinky sent Emma’s favorite berry treats. Here they are eating one!

You can see their cute Valentine laying on the floor. I put it there so the Mayor could read it to Emma.

“Hey this Valentine smells like Slinky”!

Thank you Maureen and Slinky for the Berry treats and the Flossies! We feel Berry Special!

Slurp, Chaps and Emma

More Berry Special Love later……Cat, Chaps and Emma

The mail man was early and we even received a few Valentines! This one came to all of us from our good friends Lisa and Brandon! I was only able to get Emma in the picture. Chaps was busy barking at the mail man.

How cute is this? Thanks Lisa and Brandon! We feel the love!

Now, I must go and open more Valentines! LOL

Please check back for more Valentine updates all day long. I received the best Valentine I have ever gotten in my life and it did not come in the mail. It was in my own back yard. You must marvel at my splendid gift. I am working on the blog right now.

Howllo Fellow Hound and too nice lovers:

This is a post about me and how I got took for 70.00 dollars. A very small price to pay to learn a lesson. I really think I am too nice.

My old pizza delivery man showed up on my door step to shovel snow recently. He said had lost his job. OK – I needed my snow shoveled. I paid him the going rate plus a way too big tip.

5 days later he showed up telling me that his electric was going to be shut off and if I could front him 70.00 his wife and 3 small children could be warm for a month. He promised me he would come back and do some yard work. We had that huge wind storm and I had branches everywhere.

I fronted him the 70.00 which was the re-connection fee.

Well, today he came to do the branch removal. However, he tried to talk me into paying him another upfront fee to do crazy work I did not need. My heart sank.

I HAD BEEN HAD……….

When I told him no, just remove the branches, he spent 15 minutes working and then told me he had to run an errand. I know I will never see him again.

He remembered me as a generous tipper when he was a pizza delivery guy and took advantage of me. He thought I was stupid. What he did not know was that I was indeed generous, not stupid.

This is just a word to the wise. People are desperate now. Protect yourselves.

I called the pizza place today. His supervisor told me to steer clear of him. He was a prolific lyer.

I am too nice……..

More learning lessons later………Cat, Chaps and Emma

You learn something new every day! Now I am hanging my head in shame

emma is just the actress portraying my shame

P.S. Plus, I gave him a Lily book for his kids. I wonder if he even has any kids?

More true stories later…….Love Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow basset hound and wondering what Chaps’s is doing lovers: I was walking through my living room and glanced over and witnessed Chaps in a position never before seen!!!!

Why would a hound lay with his rear end on the step like that? Let’s take a closer look.

Interesting…….. It might be comfortable, who knows? But what is he doing?

OK, that answers it. Chaps is playing with his favorite toy.

But why was he laying like that? Only the Mayor knows for sure!

Well, I guess you know what I have to do now? Go vacuum my carpet out of complete embarrassment. Grandma always says it looks like it snowed in your TV room! LOL

No wonder I woke up coughing and gagging this morning.

More Mysterious Chaps photos later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and must have lovers! LOL

Just think, this could have been yours or mine if we only had 27,000 dollars.

Rough and Smooth Basset Hounds on Oak Screen by Maud Earl, 1863-1943.
Sold for $26,840.

Going for the give away price of 26,840 this stunner sold today at auction from the English Auction House, Bonhams.

Bonhams website states “Bonhams is proud to have led the market in canine paintings and works of art for over 25 years. Held in New York and organised to coincide with the Westminster Dog Show, the Dog Sale consistently attracts a unique gathering of elite breeders and owners, as well as international collectors of canine art and memorabilia.”

I just have a feeling that whoever bought this piece is going to present it to the Mayor very soon! It seems the only fair thing to do! LOL, I know just where I would put it!

More stunning art discoveries later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. I would love to know who has this piece. Maybe they read this blog! Ya never know!

P.P.S – I don’t know why the type got so small???

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Dreaming of Spring Lovers:

I see the faintest little pink buds on my cherry tree out front. It had me dreaming of spring. I thought I would share this picture of our Mayor about 4 years ago. Check out who is looking through the window!

How handsome can you get? Little Emma’s turn was next.

We were going to a pet fair at our local park and she had on her disco tube top. She dazzled the onlookers with her beauty.

Also, that day, Chaps was overcome by a herd of Newfoundlands. We were just standing there, minding our own business and a group from Newfoundland rescue came up behind us and asked me question. It was the most bizarre encounter. All of the sudden I looked around and the Mayor was in the middle of about 8 Newfoundlands. I am kicking myself for not taking a picture. If you don’t know the breed, they are huge! Here is an example picture

Chaps stood just like a statue until they moved on. It was pretty cool.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Chaps going belly up lovers! Wow, we are having a huge wind storm right now. Grandma came down to get some batteries for flash lights in case we have a power outage. We were rushing around and being weather alert nerds acting all frantic!

Chaps made sure he stopped Grandma in her white sock tracks!

Another moment captured in time. This is right in front of the dog door that was blowing open. That has never happened before. Very strange.

More belly rubs later……….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
