Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Amazing tails of Chaps Lovers…..

I love having a blog for many reasons and this tail about Chaps and Emma is just one of the many reasons. This blog posting will take a zillion times longer to write than the moment I am about to write about. Really, the amazing thing that Chaps did only took one moment.

We were in the kitchen this morning and I was getting some clean food bowls out of the dish washer…..

Of course I did not have my camera at the ready so I re-created this picture to the best of my ability.

OK, so…..every time I open the dish washer I have to tap, tap, tap on the edges to warn Emma that I am opening the beast. When she first went blind I stupidly left the door open and she rammed into it. It scared her so bad that every time I tap on the dish washer she freaks out a tiny bit and scurries out of the way. With a blind dog you have to learn stuff like this. I tap on a lot of things that are in her way. I also use the word OOPS to warn her she is about to hit something.

Well this morning, I was needing coffee so bad, that I forgot to tap. As I began to unclick the door Chaps realized that I had not tapped. He whirled around and side bumped Emma to the corner of the kitchen and stood guard as I retrieved the bowls. She stood right behind him and did not move.

Well……Guess who got a bit of extra potato mush this morning? OK, both of them but it was so incredibally cute and poinante. It’s moments like this one that make me happy I have a blog. I can share, inspire and record it for myself.

Chaps is an amazing man and he inspires me everyday. I noticed a bit later she licked his chop. Maybe getting a drop of potato mush or maybe a quick kiss…..

More Amazing Moments Later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
