Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and mad Raccoons with burnt lips lovers!

(not the actual raccoon but howl I picture him or her!)

By burnt, I mean with a Cayenne concoction Grandma and I whipped up!

It is about 2 tablespoons of ground cayenne red pepper and enough water so it could go into an eye dropper.

The chimes did not work, obviously! So, we decided to try this. Grandma really wants the tomatoes to ripen on the vine so this is our last ditch effort. We put it on all of the tomatoes yesterday.

The day before yesterday we had 4 of these….

Today we had one of those. If there are none tomorrow we will proceed with the concoction. If not and the little so and so likes hot pepper we will start pulling off the green ones to ripen inside.

Chaps is keeping a vigil by his worry bed.

That lasted about 3 minutes and then lights out! Don’t worry Mayor. Let the pepper sauce take over!

More about the hot tomatoes later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and hoping they found who shot this hound lovers……

This just in from the basset hound wires and I thought my dear readers would want to read this article and view the video on the TV’s website.

LONG PRAIRIE, Minn. – After her shock collar battery went dead Daisy got loose in Long Prairie on July 18th. When she was finally found she had a bullet in her chest.

“My daughter comes running over and tells me, Daisy has been shot,” Daisy’s owner Erika Breitbach said.

This all started after Daisy’s shock collar went dead Sunday. Daisy wasted no time to hit the town of Long Prairie. She even stopped to grab some grub.

“The chief at the fire department, got into his house, and ate some left over ribs,” Erika said laughing.

The next time Daisy was seen, she was laying in the neighbor’s yard with a BB bullet near her heart.

What happened in between is still unknown. Long Prairie police officials declined to comment on the ongoing investigation but did lay down guidelines to follow when stray animals make their way into your yard.

“Everybody knows, dogs like to run,” Long Prairie Police Officer Roger Lowe explained. “If you have a stray dog or a stray cat, contact the police department.”

Long Prairie authorities say the first move is to always contact police, but if that doesn’t work, there are times to use force.

“When you feel threatened, if the dog is growling at you or being very aggressive towards you then you can. But you have to use your judgment,” Officer Lowe said.

When Daisy was loose she was only seen in the city of Long Prairie which adds a new dimension to this incident according to Long Prairie police.

“Within the city limits, you cannot fire a projectile,” Lowe continued. “A BB gun, air gun, soft gun, something like that.”

Anyone with any information on the shooting is urged to contact the Long Prairie Police Department at 320-732-2156.

End of article…

Can you imagine? Yes I can. I think my Lily was shot by a bb gun just prior to being rescued by me. There are some real mean cruel people amongst us.

More hoping they find the creep that did this later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo fellow Basset Hound and new Stanley Lovers! Call him Randy, call him TJ, Call him Stanley, just don’t call him late for dinner! Suzanne of Mid-Atlantic heard from TJ’s new family today and the big news is that they changed his name to Stanley. LOL

Here is the e-mail….

Dear Suzanne and Michelle,

Just a quick update to let you know that we’ve changed TJ’s name to Stanley. He seems to answer to it as well as TJ frankly!

He has been quite good so far. He is well socialized and gentle. He was amazing riding home in the car with Harvey in the 3 hour ride.

He’s making a good adjustment and is eating well.

I think he’s extremely smart too. Very bassety; curious and clever.

It looks so far like it will be a good fit.

Off for Stan’s vet appt.

End of e-mail.

I have Stanley’s new e-mail and I will e-mailing his Mommy soon to see if she will stay in touch. Those were such good pictures! Stanley’s new bro is very handsome as well!

More about Stanley later…Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

I have 2 fool blooded bassett hounds I have to rehome. Ones a male the other a female and go by Sgt. and Mya. They’re both 3 years old, white with red spots, and neither is fixed. Both have great temperments and get along well with other dogs. I’m not sure about cats b/c we don’t have any. We bought them to be family pets and not breed and they have to stay together. We’re relocating and they can’t come with us:( If your interested pls contact me through email. I’m asking a small rehoming fee for them. Thank You!

End of CL posting…..

Hey, they put it out there so I can laugh and cry and share. There is so many levels of wrong in that posting I could blog for hours. First and most importantly, I don’t believe this pair was not used for breeding. I am just going stop there.

More later from Cat and her two fool blooded basset hounds…..

Who you callin’ a fool? Our Mamma didn’t raise no fools!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and our TJ Lovers…Breaking news……..

THIS JUST IN FROM SUZANNE OF MID-ATLANTIC BASSET HOUND RESCUE!

“A nice couple from Long Island, who had been pre-approved as adopters, came out to visit two female basset hounds at a foster home close to my home. The two females didn’t seem very interested in the couple, nor their basset, so I went home and brought back TJ. Instant hit! He was last seen trying to play co-pilot between the husband and wife while sharing the back seat with his new furbrother..

Such a happy boy. In a brief period of time, he captured my heart…. but they all do!

Thanks for helping to get TJ to his new home!
Suzanne Fitch
Mid-Atlantic Basset Hound Rescue”

I have already sent Suzanne an e-mail asking why we don’t have pictures! I am thrilled but I want to see the family! Suzanne e-mailed me back and said she would ask the family to check in and send some pictures. That would be so cool!

Can you believe it lovers? Our TJ has a home in seconds! We know one when we see one! Snatched from the jaws of death to riding along in a car with his new family in NJ! Totally Sweet!

WE BETTER GET PICTURES! This is an old one from his Foster Mom!

Lois, can you get the job done and get us pics? hehehehe

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Sunday Morning Nesting Emma Lovers! OMD! Goodness sakes! Look at our Emmers. Herz is doing a famous Emma nesting technique!

I call this picture Early Sunday Morning Nesting Emma! Keep in mind she does this all on her own. She gets her hungry meal, goes potty, and then take her morning nap. After she digests she goes for her walk with her boy friend the Mayor.

Oh Emmers………..

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Emma getting Married to TJ lovers! Our beautiful Hannah and fellow basset hound town resident has been following TJ’s journey along with all of us and decided to write an illustrate a story about what could have happened! Here we have the beautiful artist herself, busy with her etch-a sketch! She is an artist of many mediums!

First there was TJ with his long ears and spots, on his leash.

Then a picture of TJ teaching Emma how to play “tag” at the park.

Then Emma and TJ playing “hide and seek” at the park.

Then TJ was rowing Emma around in a boat and there was a big heart behind Emma (I asked Hannah what it was and she said “that’s the heart of love that TJ has for beautiful Emma. He is rowing her to the “castle of love” for their wedding.”).

The final picture was the wedding, with Emma wearing a beautiful dress and TJ down on one knee offering her a present of “beautiful, precious wedding jewelry”!

End of story, but what could be the beginning of a beautiful marriage! hehehe

Kerry, OneMom and Mommy to Hannah says….

“I have no idea how this particular story line developed, but it was very sweet and I thought you’d enjoy it (although the Mayor may not enjoy it!). “

Kerry, Please tell Hannah that I enjoyed those pictures and the story beyond belief. I Just loved every second of it. She is so talented. The Mayor is just fine sharing his best girl but only in the form of a cute story like this!

I know all of the residents will just love it! We love you Hannah!

More loving Hannah later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Oh, and an update about TJ in the comment section! He sounds like he has some nesting techniques like our Emmers! They are nesting together in Miss Hannah’s dreams! Ahhhhhhhh…….Dreams!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and cute update lovers……..

I was so please to be on this list of updates about our TJ and his transportation. Here is part of the e-mail…..

“Good afternoon everyone, Busy morning I went to Mechanisburg PA with the 11th hour mini-van. We were expecting a 90 lb Gr Pyr who was very scared and didn’t think it would be safe to transfer three times. She came up HW positive, didn’t go on the transport and it was too late to change plans, so I went anyway and of course Deb found other dogs for me to take back to NJ with the two I went for. When I left Mechanicsburg there were eight dogs in my little red van, I felt like Santa Clause in July, dropped off 4 in Philipsburg, and my favorite TJ the Basset in Washington NJ on the way home to drop off the last two. I loved TJ, those ears !!! I don’t know how he manages to walk around without stepping on them. He needed a little help getting into the van, those short legs didn’t reach.

Here is the van that TJ was in!

Here is a traveling companion!

And another one!

regards
Rose Brown”

Thank you Rose Brown for this wonderful update and caring for our treasured TJ. Transport people rock!

More about our rock star later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and I am not talking about TJ lovers! Here is howl the story goes. Thursday night I received an e-mail from Terri, our Animal Control officer. She said, “Can you help this pretty girl in Gallatin County, KY? Her 5 day hold is up and they are a tight ship down there.”

So, first thing Friday morning I was going to call on her. Can you believe it? We get one hound out the door and another one is knocking. So, I called to check on her. She was on the list but others were ahead of her. The volunteer was fantastic and said that she would be in touch on Monday because she was safe over the weekend and through Monday. This is the picture that really got to me!

Dogs are so amazing. Look at that smile.

So guess what? Last night after closing, the gal receives a phone call from a man looking for a sweet female basset for his family. Even though the kennel was closed she met him and completed the adoption. She got an e-mail last night telling her that she was already the Star of his neighborhood!

Wow, what a difference a few hours makes for a homeless hound!

Oh, he named her Star! Very fitting indeed!

More good news later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
