Here is a section that I enlarged so you can see it up close.

This technique was done by Artist Stephen Kline. Here is the link to this particular print so you can see the listing. It appears that he will even do an original and add your dogs name. I am not completely sure of that. This is not an ad, just a cool thing I found on the net.

The site states,

“Lucy Magoo: Blind dogs see with their hearts–and blind Bassets can see with their noses, too! Lucy recently lost her sight to glaucoma. Hopefully you can still see the beauty and intelligence in the face of this special 9 yr. old girl. Lucy is extremely attentive and adapts easily to new surroundings. Blind dogs are very easy to care for and even easier to love. How could you not feel proud to have this brave and sensitive soul in your life? She’s welcoming to people and other animals, loves everyone. Enjoys regular dog park outings and walks. Small in size but huge in heart, Lucy will give her new family more joy and satisfaction than they can possibly imagine. Please consider Lucy and submit an application. If you have any questions or concerns about having a blind dog, please contact Kathleen (info@rescuebassets.com). Lucy’s adoption fee will be $100. Photos courtesy Arica of Pet’ographique. Arica states Lucy was the most calm, well-behaved Basset to pose for her in a long time!!”

Possibly the best video on the internet!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and best videos on the internet lovers. OK, OK, I know it might be a stretch but I think it is definitely in the top ten.

Many of my readers may know about the very famous basset hound named Paul Newman. He was named Paul Newman for his shockingly blue eyes.

Ole blue eyes

Paul Newman was a rescue and I can’t remember the whole story, but I know he has a great home. You have to click the link and watch the video, you must!

A PERFORMANCE BY THE FAMOUS PAUL NEWMAN!

I am sure you will play it a few times!

Several years ago I received these picture of Paul from a friend about another one of his antics! This picture was not in anyway staged! Howl did he do that?

I know Paul Newman came from Suzanne Fitch’s rescue, Mid Atlantic but I just cannot remember all of the fun details. If anyone can add more please put it in the comment section.

I am in love with Paul Newman. Madly in love……

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Lena Looking Good Lovers! Well, I just got back from the pet store to pick Lena out a new collar, leash, and harness. I was also in the market for a coat but the dang thing did not fit her. Anyway, I had visions of bright pink everything dripping with rhinestones. I wanted some serious bling for our girl. Come on…..she had to show off her American style to the folks of Canada. My plans were dashed when I saw the selection. Not much at all. I took my time and frustrated over every possible combination of the 4 pieces and finally came up with a real look! I felt like a stylist!!!!

The only harness that I could find in her size was black. Can you believe that? I know that the color black makes a girl look a bit thinner, but we certainly did not need that fashion tip for our girl. Regardless, I had to go with black. So, I pared it with the cute black and bone matching collar and leash to complete the look!

Then Dr. Doan helped us put all three of her tags on. The home made one that I did. It is that pink circle. It has her name on it. I make it with construction paper and then laminated it. It worked really good if you need to make a temporary tag for traveling. Then he put on the Home again chip tag and her Rabies tag.

I always notice a difference when homeless hounds get collars and harnesses. They seem to stand a bit taller.

Then it was time for a test drive!!!!!

Her new look fit her like a glove! She could have walked down any red carpet but we did just fine on the pavement!

OK, transport folks our Lena is ready and raring to go. All of her papers are in order.

Howl many times a day does Chaps hear the words, “Good Boy”?

January 22nd, 2010 - 10:10 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Good Boy Lovers…..This morning I was sprucing up my bedroom, getting ready for Cindy, my sister from Atlanta. Normally, when I am in this room (Julian’s room) cleaning it up, it means that Julian is coming over. So, Chaps is laying by the door watching every move I make. Every time I step over him I say, “Good Boy”. I woke up this morning saying, “Good Boy”. It is only 9:00am KY time and I think I have said “Good Boy” about 100 times.

Photo on 2010-01-22 at 08.48

This is a picture I took of Mr. Good Boy about 10 minutes ago. He takes up a fair portion of the hall. But who cares? He is such a Good Boy!
