Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and smiling baby giraffe lovers…..

Giving birth can be traumatic at the best of times.

But this new born giraffe appears to taking it all in its (rather long) stride.

Entering the world just before 10 am on 4-2-11, the unnamed and as yet un-sexed six foot baby took its first tentative steps as the Cincinnati Zoo’s latest star attraction.

Not to mention the star attraction of both of it’s parents!

The calf’s mother, 1,800 lb Tessa, became restless around 5 am Saturday morning and shortly thereafter volunteers noticed the calf’s hoof coming through and immediately contacted staff.

Four hours later Tessa delivered her calf and soon after began licking the vulnerable new born.

The calf took about 20 minutes before struggling to its feet.

Wow!

Just thought I would share….

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and 14 years ago today lovers!

April 1st has been important to me for several reasons! My Grandma, on my Dad’s side, was born on April 1st! Her name was Lena!

I never knew her. She held me once as a baby.

But I think she was with me 14 years ago today when I closed on my new 2 family. I would like to think she was…

This photo was taken in about 2007. A local paper did a piece on us and about 2 families.

I have decided to take early retirement!!!

April 1st, 2011 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and early retirement lovers! I have been waffling over this for a few years but I have decided to take the early retirement plunge!

Grandma, Chaps, Emma and I will now be living and blogging from Seborga, Italy!

Seborga

This town has a population of only 364 people!

Get this, Chaps will have a new job! He will now be the Prince of Seborga and be called, “His Tremendousness”! The former self proclaimed Prince passed away in 2009 and his title has never been claimed…..

Here is his picture.

That is until now!

peace on earth

This picture of the new Prince, His Tremendousness, and Princess will hang in our new Palace.

The Palace is pretty run down but who needs running water or windows?

It’s a real fixer upper! I have no doubt we will make it a Palace fitting for Royalty!

Our new Palace

ALL HAIL HIS TREMENDOUSNESS!
