Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and falling back lovers! I totally missed blogging yesterday and it got under my skin! I had so much work to do yesterday! YAWN!

Who wants to hear about that? NO ONE! Everyone has lots of work. Except for Chaps and Emma! OK, that’s not fair. The Mayor and Emma do their part!

They wait in the kitchen for their Mom to drop tid bits. I was in the kitchen tonight paying some bills (YAWN) and I looked down and saw this.

Ever the hopeful duo!

They know if they look this cute a treat is coming. Howl can 2 hounds continually look so cute?

The smiles that come from my face travel to my camera right onto the internet. Keep in mind I was paying bills. This is how you can smile and pay bills!

Ahhhhhh……Technology!

More smiling later…..

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and falling back lovers….

The kids seem to be falling back nicely. I was surprised because Emma has a body clock like you would not believe. At 3:29pm she starts whining for her 3:30pm dinner. It always amazes me! Our Emma! She was so cute this morning. I was in my office working and I had to put something in the mail box. I walked past Emma taking her morning nap and saw that I had forgot to put her cuddle blanket on her. She is so cold natured.

Can you believe that she got herself under that pillow! Silly baby girl!

I had to show you a close up. So, I went and got her cuddle blankee…

“Thank you Mommy, I think I will fall back asleep now!” Then, all was right in the world no matter what time it was…..

More falling back later……Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Mutt Madness Lovers:(

Well, I guess you can tell from the sad face that House of Puddle did not make it to the next round of Rachel Ray’s Mutt Madness. Dog gone it!

A rescue by the name of Last Chance Ranch beat us out.

We all gave it a very good effort. At least Marilyn was picked out of a large amount of rescues trying to get in to the contest. That stands for a lot! Plus, she won 2,000 dollars and that is nothing to sneeze or slobber at!

Better luck next time…..

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

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Hal from Japan Lovers! I just love Hal. He is one of my all time favs! It is so much fun to follow him on YouTube because he is not only a show hound but a beloved family pet. He is just so cherished. Here he is at a show. He won the breed but not the group!

Hal could care less, he get the biggest trophy ever and look at all of those toys!

I cannot get over HAL much he looks like our Emma! (OK don’t look at the rear end!)

More loving Hal later….Cat, Chaps and Emma!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and new HoPper Lovers:

Remember Stanley, the newest addition to House of Puddles?

Well, a few Saturdays ago, Marilyn, house Mother to the current 21 elders, held a fall picnic at House of Puddles for friends. Everyone loves to view the Elders in their natural environment, roaming the house and grounds. I could not go but by GEORGE I want to go next year!

Here is Marilyn greeting the folks as they arrived.

As I looked through all of the pictures I saw on different boards and forums one thing I always noticed was Buttermilk right by Marilyn’s side. Wow, that girl is a glue stick!

Here is another HOP supporter coming to love the hounds and likewise I am sure!

So, my friend Susan went to the party and she made pupcakes! I was so impressed it just made me smile!

Each HoPper represented as a sweet treat. How touching and true! Susan, you did such a great job!

So, Susan sat down the tree and herself and what happens next is truly amazing.

Stanley, the newest HopPer plopped in her lap and did not leave her side the entire time!

I am not kidding, he did not leave her!

They both felt the strongest connection. Stanley has no problem revealing his feelings!

So, Marilyn and Susan had a little chat……..about Mr. love bug Stanley!

And the rest is really history! Susan left with Stanley that night on a trial basis. We all know that it is really the other hounds in our life that make these decisions for us. Susan has Daisy and Toby. Susan and Stanley felt the connection but would Toby and Daisy?

Well, it did not happen over night but it did happen. It is all still very fresh. Susan announced days ago that Stanley is officially a member of her family. Thank DoG Toby and Daisy approved.

What a win, win for everyone.

You have to love a hound like Stanley that goes after what he wants. He saw Susan and said, “She is mine”! I guess you could call it, love at first sight!

More win, win and love, love later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
