Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and needing a new computer lovers: Well, I have been dreaming of a new lap top for years but it was on my want list not my need list. So, yesterday the dream moved to my need list. My Mac G5, (Gina) which I have had since 2005, and was one of the first resident of Basset Hound Town is dying. The Mother Board is crashing. Wow, that sounds serious! Anyway, here I am the day I brought her home.

All bright eyed and ready to start a new town. Fond memories indeed. I am on line right now because my system is letting me. It just crashes from time to time and I try to do as much as possible. So dear readers, it is time to say good bye to one of our faithful residents. Gina the G5. If you don’t hear from me that is why. There could be a sale on black Friday so I am checking that out.

More hoping to be back soon…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and drawings on moleskin lovers. LOL! I had no idea what moleskin was so I looked it up.

Moleskine (pronounced mol-a-skeen’-a) is a brand of notebook manufactured by Moleskine, an Italian company.

For two centuries now Moleskine has been the legendary notebook of artists, writers, intellectuals and travelers. From gifted artists Henri Matisse (18691954) and Vincent van Gogh (18531890), to poet and leader of the surrealist movement Andr Breton (1896-1966) to Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961).

So, there you go! Here is the drawing I found by an artist named rusty486.

This drawing was on a site where artists can submit their art. So, rusty486, if you see this, leave a comment and tell us about the beautiful basset you drew. I love it!

Move loving moleskine later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Sunday Morning Mayor Lovers: This morning I was in my office checking e-mails and Chaps was getting ready to go down the steps. He was perched for the longest time between two steps just stretching and stretching. Of course, my mind does not work unless it involves a camera so I grabbed my camera and just as I was about to snap his cute stretching…..

He moved……

He moved to the lower level to carry on with his morning routine….no pictures allowed! LOL

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

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and curling up on the couch with basset hound lovers: Tonight’s movie pick is one of my all time favorite flicks. I know, I say that about all of the movies I pick, but this one…..can’t be beat.

The World of Suzie Wong. I know I have seen it about 5 times but I am going to watch it again tonight.

UPDATE – YOU TUBE REMOVED THE VIDEO! SO SAD. I DON’T KNOW WHY THEY DO THAT. WHO IS BUYING THIS MOVIE? WHO HAS EVEN EVER HEARD OF IT? JERKS!

In the first installment you seen that ferry boat heading for Hong Kong. I was on that same boat back in 1993. I went to Hong Kong with Grandma and Grandpa. It looked exactly like that. Back then I was taking slides so I have a zillion slides, just no pictures. I have to find a way to convert them. They are so good.

Let me know if you like it.

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

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Emma’s nesting technique lovers…..

I know, I know, I have shown our dear residents pictures upon pictures of Emma under her blankee. However, I never get tired of them. As a matter of fact, I think I should start a separate sub-blog called: EMMA’S NESTS

LOL! Only someone as obsessed with my kids as I am would even think about that. It would be cute, huh?

I walked out to the living room just now and this is what I saw! I did not touch her blanket one bit. She did this all by her sweet little long self.

Our Emma, never ceases to amaze me. That’s the hard part of working out of one’s home. You just want to jump in and snuggle.

Maybe later….

More nesting pictures later and maybe a sub-blog. LOL, love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and A+ lovers! Our boy did so good today. True to form he marched into school with a spring in his step, ears flying!

Here is the Mayor waiting not so patiently at the door to be buzzed in!

Then it was right to the back packs that lined the floor. He was sure he smelled something really good! (See the Lily Book?)

Off we go to the Mayor’s stage of stardom! Ears still flying. He could not go fast enough. Look at Grandma trying to keep up with him!

This is where Chaps feels right at home! Center Stage! LOL – Of course Grandma wants to make sure he does not venture off of the stage! hehe

Next the kids filter in and a fun time is had by all. I would have to say that Chaps was one of the kids that had the most fun!

He sat right in front of me the entire time and the teachers were amazed with him. My goodness, he is such a natural!

We had so much fun and the Lily book was a hit. I have to tell you guys that I get there early when all the Moms are bringing in the kids in the mini vans. They all wait in a line to drop off their child. I walk Chaps right in the grassy area next to the drop off line and as cold as it was today, I have about 50 kids hanging out of car windows cheering and clapping. It was so cute.

Wow, Chaps was born for this. I need to get him and Emma to more schools.

More spot light news later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
