The Mayor helps his Mom clean!

March 6th, 2011 - 4:04 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Cleaning Lovers…(LOL)

Well, today the Mayor helped me clean. So, the main thing I wanted to accomplish was vacuuming!

Before I can vacuum I must dry mop, before I dry mop I must shake the throw rugs, before I shake the throw rugs I must…..

FURMINATE!

and FURMINATE!

All I have to do is show him the furminator and he lays right down on his side. It is so cute!

Of course then I have to do all of the dog bedding because a furminated Mayor can’t get into a hairy bed!

The pork industry changes its slogan after two decades;)

March 4th, 2011 - 8:08 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and the Pork Industry Changing it’s slogan lovers! Well, we are sure one of those! They can have their *yawn* new slogan….

“Pork, Be Inspired.” Whatever….

So, Emma wants their old slogan!!!!!!!!!!

“The Other White Meat!”

theotherwhitemeat

Pat the white meat patty! hehehe

FYI, if you ever wonders what the patty feels like here is my suggestion. The next time you are in the grocery store go down the baking aisle and pat a bag of powdered sugar. Not exactly the feel but pretty darn close. I do it every time I go down that aisle. My Mom and I always get a giggle!

We love you little girl….

The Thundershirt arrived yesterday!

March 4th, 2011 - 1:01 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and sitting on the edge of your seat wondering about the Thundershirt lovers……

OMD! I was so excited yesterday! The Thundershirt arrived. What great service!

IMG_2175

We got right to work with our product review. Here is the Mayor smelling his new item.

Next we went over all of the instructions. First they say to place it on the floor, still folded and put a treat on it. Perfect! We can do that!

IMG_2196

The Mayor woofed down his treat and continued smelling.

He seemed a bit skeptical.

IMG_2199

Then we made over him like there was no tomorrow as I was putting the Thundershirt, AKA the hope for peace and tranquility, on him.

IMG_2201

It is supposed to fit very snug. The size large was perfect for him. He seemed a bit confused as to why this thing was so strange feeling. You can see it in his face.

Anyway, he really liked the next instruction!

“Give your dog another treat!”

IMG_2207

Grandma gave 2 treats! hehehe

IMG_2208

Then the instruction was to leave on for 5 to 10 minutes before removing. We left it on him for 7.5 minutes.

The Mayor went for a disco drink, no problem….

IMG_2216

This is the top view….

I hazard to guess you will not see a cuter guy in a Tundershirt! LOL

IMG_2218

So far all is great. He seems to like his new TS.

Anyway, very early this morning, about 5:30ish, I was awake for some reason. Chaps was sleeping to my left. A bright flash of lighting lit up the living room. Seconds later, the loud clap of thunder….

I did not move a muscle and get this…neither did Chaps. He slept through it?!?! Well, I was all ready to grab the shirt but I did not need it. It was just one odd bolt. Nothing else.

I will be reporting more on our new Thundershirt as it unfolds.

More watching the radar later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Cartoon Basset Hound;)

March 3rd, 2011 - 6:06 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Cartoon Basset Hound Lovers! Hi residents! I found this cartoon image of a basset hound on facebook a few days ago. I thought it was tooooooooooo cute! So did several of you! I received a few e-mails today asking me about the image.

cuteboy

I had never seen the image before so I googled cartoon basset hounds and still could not find it. Have any of you ever seen it? If so, do you know where it came from? I think it is just darlin’!

As an added bonus while I was checking out google images this one popped up?

basset-sunrise

Why it was grouped into the search for “cartoon basset hound” I have no idea.

I love this picture. I think I will make it my wallpaper for awhile!

More loving great pictures later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

March comes in like a lamb;(

March 1st, 2011 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and March coming in like a lamb (not lovers). Of course we all know that when March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a LION!

So, this morning, as most mornings, the Mayor checked the weather and then he checked the Old Farmers Almanac to confirm his forecast.

IMG_1833

What was so interesting is that the Mayor really took his time and reported his news.

March has come in like a lamb in bassethoundtown!

IMG_5457

The Mayor even checked with his friends in Norway to see what they thought….

marchlamb

Yep, a baby lamb….

moremarchlambs

It is confirmed from around the bassethoundtown world, March comes in like a lamb!

Brace yourselves for the end of March everyone! It will go out like a LION!

Nine Inch Nails

March 1st, 2011 - 8:08 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Nine Inch Nail Lovers. No I am not talking about Chaps and his nine inch nails! I swear, I cannot keep these things under control.

IMG_4848

I am not talking about the Mayor and his granite counter top hard nails.

Who remembers this industrial band?

images

I do! I thought Trent Reznor was so cute!

trent-sm

I had this picture hanging in my cabin on a trip to Mammoth Cave, KY way back in 1995. I tore it out of a magazine….

I am a firm believer of interior design no matter where you are! LOL!

Anyway, I was happy to hear that Trent Reznor was behind the song track for
The Social Network. I had trouble concentrating on the movie because I really loved the song tracks. I did not know he was the composer at the time.

So I downloaded it from ITunes.

I sure wish I could clip Chaps nine inch nails. Lord they grow like weeds….

More loving ITunes and Mammoth Cave later….Cat, Chaps and Emma
