Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Rare Roaming Long Hair Lovers! LOL! OMG! Look at our new residents of basset hound town, Harley and Daisy Mae!

These rare creatures roam the back deck of their Mommy, Kathi in Tallahassee, FL. One may even be able to capture of glimpse of them as they sun themselves on the couches of said home. hehehe

I heard there was to be a docu-drama based upon this rare and unique couple!

OK – I am a bit crazy, but that is what went through my mind when I saw them. I think Grandma almost had a heart attack thinking of the hair that might be associated with them!

Here is another picture of the day that Momma Kathi picked up Daisy Mae from Suncoast Basset Hound Rescue! ( on the right) She thinks that Harley and Daisy Mae may be related, but there is no proof of that.

I just think they are the cutest couple ever! Harley is 13 and Daisy Mae is 12 and 1/2.

More rare long hair later……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. Maybe Dyson is secretly releasing them into the wild!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Orange Morning Lovers: This morning, when the sun came up, it created the most beautiful orange hue in my living room. Everything was orange! I could not capture the inside but the kids and I went out in the front to take a few shots.

The sun was hitting all of the beautiful trees and throwing this orange glow all over the place. Very cool. This is the little tree in front of my house and it was like a spot light was on it. I guess there was, the sun!

Even the kids had an orange glow!

They both love orange! They get a bit of cheese every morning after breakfast.

Hurry Mommy, I want my cheese!

It was so cool, and then it was gone…….

More loving, lovely little moments and orange tinted hounds later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Facebook lovers: About every day someone from around the world with a basset hound asks to be my friend. I just love it! I guess I should say they ask to be Chaps and Emma’s friends! I had to share a few pictures from one of our new friends from Italy. Just look at that background. Perfect to showcase the hounds!

Then there is this picture of our new friend with his hounds

Now for the Money Shot!

Prego, Bella!

More Bella Basset Butts Later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Oh hounds, you look so cute and we really appreciate your costumes. I am sure Mommy Cindy gave you plenty of treats!

Here is our first sweet heart! Jethro. I had to show him first because he reminds me so much of the Mayor. I think they look a lot alike in the face. What do you think?

How could a hound look any cuter? A clown hound! Love it!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Bonded Sr. Basset Hound lovers: Well, like I said, it is a sign of the times. People are still losing their homes to foreclosure and pets like humans suffer as well. Over the weekend I learned of this Sr. bonded pair of male basset hounds in the Cleveland, OH area that are in need of a new home. I spent a fair amount of time talking with their Mom and learning about the couple. The bonded pair are currently living in the garage with a dog door to the back yard. Their Mom’s home is being foreclosed upon and she is living in an apartment that will not allow dogs. The bank wants the dogs out of the home ASAP.

Their Mom told me that the eldest is 12 and is a long haired basset hound.

OK? A long haired basset hound? I told their Mom, I need pictures. So, here is Spotty Joe, 12 years old, neutered and very loving….with long hair!

He loves kids. How often have you seen a long haired basset hound? I have once or twice. His Mommy said he came from a breeder in Southern, OH.

Here is his belly up pose. His birthday is in April.

One more of Spotty Joe. The poor guys are getting really depressed. Their Mom has tried most of the Cleveland area rescues. Of course the pound is not an option.

Ohio Basset Hound Rescue cannot take them. They are full and boarding at kennels. Marilyn at HOP knows about the pair. She is at 20 which is over capacity. She is bursting at the seams. She is helping me with networking.

Now for Spotty Joe’s best friend, Rocky…..

Rocky is 9, neutered and uses Spotty Joe as a pillow. They are extremely bonded and must be placed together.

Rocky came from a pet store in Akron, OH. His birthday is in July.

You can see the gray on his head. They both love kids and other dogs. They have been away from their family for months and need a place to land.

This is them in their back yard. It’s going to get cold out soon and plus the bank won’t let them stay.

I told their Mom I would help. I have called their vet and have confirmed their ages. Neither one has been to the vet in a few years.

Times are ruff and the family pets are in just as much need of help. I don’t want to know all of the details of what went down for this family, I just want to get these guys out of the garage and onto a couch.

Anyone???????????

I will keep everyone posted on this pair. They are certainly a work in progress for Basset Hound Town……

More loving gray faces later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and walking through the town lovers……

We took a really nice stroll today through basset hound town. It was just beautiful today. We just love the park and today we loved it again!

One thing we always try to do is visit this very special tree. I should have taken a picture of the entire tree, but I fell down on the job! This tree is dedicated to a man named Harold J. Wehrle.

The person who loves Harold J. Wehrle always decorates the tree. Now it is decorated with everything Halloween related. I googled Harold, but I could not find anything. He appears to have been in the Canine Corps. We always love to pay our respects.

Then we moved on down the park lane finding place after place to take wonderful pictures! Just stunning!

Hi Grandma! Emma loves, “looking” at her Grandma!

Now for the artsy shot! This should win a contest, if I don’t say so myself!

Now we are leaving the park and Chaps spots a West Highland White Terrier. Oddly enough it was walking up Highland Ave. Look how hard Chaps is pulling on his harness! I can barely hold him. I had to crack up over his rear end. He is really digging in!

“Mommy, is that a dog?”

Ah, time for a dinner and a nap! Look how good Emma does on steps now. She is such a joy. Just a note, I am freaking out. Where did her tail go in this picture? I did nothing to alter any of the pictures beyond sharpening. This is weird!

More sharing joy later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Land Shark Hound Lovers! I can’t stop chuckling as I type this e-mail and look at these pictures…..

Just in case you would like some back ground music while you are viewing these photos! Click on the play button.

MAC THE KNIFE….

Look a the fins. OMG – that is so funny. Most sharks eat everything in their path and this includes the rare tri-colored land shark named Buster Lema.

Lois said that Buster has never met a table he hasn’t stood upon! For now, however, he just wants to be left alone to howl his favorite song……When the shark bites!

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

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Rescue Lovers: Grandma and I took Grandpa out for lunch today for his 83rd birthday. This is him with some flowers my older sister sent to him!

After lunch we drove over to a place called Western Hills to check on a basset hound that is up for adoption via SAAP. This organization is an an all breed rescue that is headed up by the Animal Control Officer in our area. This is how rescue should and does work in our area. I am honored to witness it first hand. We are very fortunate to have our AC officer.

However, to back track a bit, I had Ms. Suzanne Fitch of Mid Atlantic also stepping in and willing to take this guy. Chris Dowd of All Ears Basset Sanctuary was also helping to make sure this lonely soul had a place to land! What would I do without the kindness of KY lovers?

So, here his is. He still needs a home! Mr. Kentucky! About 3 years old, neutered, and wondering why he wound up here? Most likely he was turned out. No one came looking for him. He was at the pound for about 3 weeks. I have to credit the pound for keeping him that long. They really like him.

This guy was so scared and pulling on the leash like his neck was made of steel!

Himz was so scared and just shaking. He had just had a neuter 2 days ago! Sigh……

Oh, poor boy! I finally got him to sit with me for a few seconds.

Here is Aunt Kit Kat (what my nephews call me) showcasing his long ears! Look how pretty his spotting is!

Then he stood so pretty for Grandma!

Mr. KY was in one of about 30 cages in this adoption event. He needs a home. Do you need an addition to your home?

Let me know and I will will hook you up!

Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Grandpa lovers! Well today is Grandpa’s 83rd Birthday! Grandma and I are taking him out to lunch and then for a drive. He does not know this yet, but I am going to drive him over to an adoption event at PetSmart and see Mr. KY, the basset hound that I have been trying to help that was in the Campbell County Pound.

I will tell you guys more about him later. He is safe and in a foster home.

So, back to Grandpa! I was looking for good pictures and this is one of the best. However, I cannot figure out why he always has his eyes shut! Hey look, they both do! hehehe

Is this picture just too cute and funny? This is proof that the Mayor is a lap dog!

More loving birthdays and lap dogs later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
