SOMEONE!

THE FIRST PERSON TO BUY THIS WILL BE THE WINNER. I WILL GO BY E-MAIL TIME!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Valentine’s Day Kit Lovers! This just in from our Emma! She has an idea to sell a Valentine’s day kit! It’s everything you need for a relaxing time on Valentine’s day! Go ahead and treat yourself to a fun day!

The book was donated by Kip Massett of Basset Hound Town. I thought it was odd he bought the kit, but it is a surprise for someone very special!

First, Emma has a Harlequin Romance novel for you to indulge yourself with. It is called…..

Anyone but You by Jennifer Crusie
(Harlequin L&L, $3.50, R) ISBN 0-373-44004-

IMG_5423

HERE IS A REVIEW I FOUND ON THE NETS BY DEDE ANDERSON……

Okay, I admit it … I was an unbeliever. I’d been hearing good things about Jennifer Crusie for a few years, but I just sort of ignored them. Well, from now on I’ll be the one singing her praises because I just finished her newest book, ANYONE BUT YOU, in Harlequin’s Love and Laughter line.

To be honest, even after perusing the blurb on the back on the book I really didn’t think it sounded all that intriguing. Divorced woman (with crazy friend) gets new dog (basset hound) meets man, doesn’t want to get involved, blah, blah…

So skip the blurb and start reading. I did, and when I was finished, I wanted to rush out and tell all my friends about it — just as soon as my side stopped hurting from laughing so hard.

Newly divorced after 16 years of marriage, Nina Askew is enjoying her freedom, her new job and her new apartment, when she decides to adopt a perky puppy. What she gets is a basset hound. (Okay, part beagle.)

But her new dog, Fred, is definitely not perky; he’s “part manic-depressive,” “aero-dynamically challenged” and addicted to Oreos. But the good news is … Fred brings home to Nina a sexy, downstairs neighbor, Alex Moore. (Sure beats bringing your slippers.)

IMG_5427

And Nina and Alex are perfect for each other, although Nina doesn’t think so because Alex is a tad bit younger. (Actually, make that quite a bit younger.) And Nina is also pretty busy straightening out her man-crazy best friend and revitalizing the stuffy publishing company she works for.

I probably haven’t made ANYONE BUT YOU sound all that funny. But here’s an example of Jennifer Crusie’s dialogue:

“You’re sure it’s over? Maybe he’s just having second thoughts because you’re both getting serious. Maybe…”
“I caught him in bed with his secretary. I don’t think she was taking dictation. Not with what she had in her hand, anyway.”

Jennifer Crusie spins an original tale. (Not only is Alex younger, but neither he nor Nina want children — GASP!) In fact, it’s so original that I guarantee (have I ever done THAT before?) it will charm and delight. And did I mention that it also has perhaps the hottest love scenes — page for page — that you will find anywhere?

I read recently that Jennifer Crusie is working on her first single title. I can hardly wait because, in my mind, add another 100 or so pages, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips will be facing some real competition for those fans that love a fast-paced, hilarious, sexy read. Let the games begin!

I’m a believer now.

–Dede Anderson

Put your feet up and treat yourself nice. If it were me I would need a glass of wine and a hound on each side.

Howl can you go wrong? You are helping Trooper! Poor guy lost most of his fur and cannot open his eyes due to a horrible case of mange. His foster Mommy is by his side every side of the way.

There was a cart jam at the grocery store today!

February 4th, 2010 - 10:10 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and shopping before a “snow storm” lovers….

OMG! I took Grandma on a planned trip to the grocery store today. It was CRAAAAZZZZZZZY! OK, there is a weather system coming through tomorrow and Saturday is predicted to be bad but from all accounts it is just going to be bad on Saturday.

The masses had shopping carts loaded to the gills and some folks had 2 carts over loaded. It was so funny! The store was jammed with people pushing these carts that weighed 90 pounds or more down the aisles with anxious looks on their faces.

I even found myself buying stuff I never buy! I bought extra bread and coffee. WHY? I think it is the meteorologists. Do you think they get kick backs from the grocery stores?

Or do you think that people feel they have free reign to eat whatever they want when they are snowed in?

I think it is a secret pleasure. Getting all snowed in and having lots of food you usually never have.

I even bought the kids tater tots! They are going to be so jazzed!

Here they are waiting for the snow even though they don’t know! I just took this moments ago with my lap top. Oh dear lord let it snow! I want me some tots! hehehehe

More waiting for tots later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Feast your eyes on this priceless piece of art work. May I present to you our very own Mayor as seen in his professional and official portrait. The Mayor sat for this photograph during the summer of 2006. This is the portrait that became the animation for the talking Chaps on the home page of Bassethoundtown.com. This portrait was sent to the animation artist to render what we all enjoy every day on the home page and in Wisenheimer Wisdom.

Place the Mayor near the sunlight and enjoy all of the crystals as they catch the sun. The Mayor is sure to make everyday start with a smile! Now that is priceless! The frame is 4×6.

Walking Man sculpture is considered one of the most important of the past century? Are you kidding me?

February 4th, 2010 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and scratching your head lovers. Come on. You have got to be kidding me. This cannot be real. This statue was the result of a furious bidding war between two audacious bidders determined to get their hands on the desirable work of art.

DESIRABLE???

Giacometti

OK, hold on to your beverage so you don’t hurl. This dorkie thing went for 104 million dollars! That was hard for me to type.

Too bad the buyer is not into basset hound rescue.

But I tell you someone who is! The Mayor and he will be back shortly to show case his next Valentine for Trooper. This will be a truly priceless piece of art work that would blow this skinny guy right off of his walking man stride.

walking man

More wondering about people who think walking man is even near important.
Down right disgusting and shameful.

Carpet sparks and scaring hounds?????

February 3rd, 2010 - 11:11 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and wondering about carpet sparks friends. OMG! This phenomena has become a real problem for us. I was just wondering howl you deal with it?

Every day and night I walk throughout my home and touch my hounds. It always seems at this time of the year I create sparks.

I will reach down and touch a hound and it generates a spark. Emma never flinches but Chaps acts like I am hurting him. He jumps and flinches. He looks at me like, “Why are you doing that Mommy?” Sometimes I can see the spark. I feel it as well!

IMG_3720

Do any of our residents deal with this? Chaps never holds a grudge. But I know he is a bit upset by it. I totally understand that he does not understand.

More just wondering what you think later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. this just in from Troopers Foster Mommy who is, by the way, a R.N.! Howl lucky is Trooper!

“What a picture cannot capture is the incredible drive Trooper has to keep going. All he is really able to do at the moment is eat, drink, bathroom and sleep but this takes all of his energy. He is shaky and wobbly when he walks and he cannot see well due to the crusting over his eyes. However, as cold as the weather has been (he is virtually hairless) he braves the elements and staggers outside to do his business. He is very unsteady and his eyes are so crusted with mange that he can’t see well and so he bumps into trees and doors. However, nothing stops him from doing what he needs to do. He just puts one foot in front of the other foot and keeps going. I doubt that he had ever had a bath before and I know that he had never seen, heard, or felt a hair dryer because he needed reassurance that this was going to be good for him. Now he tolerates the bath and he sits patiently in my lap because I am sure that he has decided that the warm air feels good. He has never growled or yelped when I work on him. Even after all of the terrible treatments that I must put him through, he raised his head up 2 nights ago and gave me a kiss! He is such a gift and a life lesson!

So true Ann, so true! Bless you….
