Hollow Fellow Basset Hound and tricky hound lovers…..Yes our Mayor is one tricky hound!

This all started about 2 weeks ago. The Mayor was feeling under the weather. He could not keep his meals down and of course I was trying hard to make him feel better.

Here he is under my desk not feeling too good. I did not post it because he started feeling better pretty quickly.

I called Grandma and told her I was able to get a Pepto Bismol in him. I was so proud of myself. I was certain I got it down. It was wrapped in cream cheese and I had a cream cheese chaser.

Yesterday I was shaking the hair off of the dog bed cover.

When I came back in I saw this…

Howl did he do it? I even sat on the floor with him. Gently holding his head tilted up and massaging his shoulders. Remember, I had a cream cheese chaser. I was 100% certain it went down.

More finding it did not later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. the scratch marks are from Emma. Some times she hears Grandma go down to the basement and she goes wild. She scratches and cries until her Grandma comes in and give her a treat.

Oh Shimlette!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and wondering about Verna Lovers. Today I woke up and thought to myself, self….I think Verna might be a Mommy on Mother’s Day! hehehe

Well, so far that thought has not come true. I took a picture of her egg babies when she flew off the nest. I think there is some evidence of pecking through on the egg on the right bottom corner. It almost looks like a little white heart shape. What do you think?

Verna got really mad when I took this picture. She started screaming at me. YIKES!

Chaps came out the dog door to see what was going on……He ran down the steps to assure Verna I was just obsessed with taking pictures…

See Mommy Verna sitting on the fence?

I feel like Verna loves us. We love her. Happy Mother’s Day Verna…..

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Limo Lovers…..

Last night I was laying in bed with Emma (about midnight) watching my favorite episode of Seinfeld called, The Limo. I have seen it about 5 or so times but I still roll with laughter every time I see it. It is so funny. I actually found it on line. I watched the entire episode again to make sure there was no funny business. I wanted to add the link here.

SEINFELD LIMO EPISODE

Anyway, just as I was ROFLMBO I saw a flash of light. OMD – Lighting and a rumble. Chaps was on the couch and then Chaps was off the couch.

Pause the limo episode….

Sorry, this is getting kind of long. BTW, the limo episode is about 22 minutes if you want to watch it.

So, I get up and walk over to “The Cage”. I sit by the cage and start acting like it is the best thing since sliced bread.

This is one of the older pictures but just to give you an image. I am sitting right where the Thundershirt is and the TV is right next to that open cage door. I am happy as a clam.

I am fawning all over this cage and get this!!!!!!!!!!!

Chaps starts acting interested. I mean interested to the point he is half in half out. Then, there was a small rumble and there goes the rest of his half. I shut the cage door and finish up my laugh fest sitting by the cage. Nothing was ever easier! I think I have found the cure!

Shortly after that we all fall asleep! I have never laughed during a thunder storm. Never! AMAZING!

More loving laughing during storms, limos, and cages later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

P.S. I woke up at 3:00am and sprung the hound. He was fast asleep and would have been fine but, I wanted him out.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Basset Hound Mom Lovers….I want to wish all of the Moms in bassethoundtown a slingin’ big drool from your hounds. They all have their special ways of showing you howl much they love you.

Here is a picture of Chaps Mommy. Here name was Glory of the Roses. I know I have posted it before, but I found it fitting to post again.

The Mayor is inside of her as of this picture.

Since I posted Emma’s Mommy last month on her birthday I will just showcase Glory.

Gotta run…..Lots to eat today! hehehe

More lovin’ a good buffet later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Dog Day Lovers…..Yes, in bassethoundtown today was Dog Day. Tomorrow Moms will be celebrated but today….It was Chaps and Emma getting the royal treatment! First stop, both kids got a mani/pedi!

Most Moms would love this treatment but the Mayor….not so much.

Emma was next up! I held her tight while she waited for her treatment!

After the mani/pedi we stopped off for 2 large bags of hound food.

Our day of beauty was not nearly over! Off to the SPA!

We have been wanting to pop in at Dirty Hairy’s since it opened. Everyone was so helpful!

Chaps did really good. We were very proud of him. This is the owner. She got us all set up and then we took over!

Now for our little Simlette! hehehe

All shined up and ready to go! Beautiful in their bandannas the kids shined like bright stars!

But the day is not over yet! We have loads of laundry to do! Dog forbid clean hounds get in a dirty bed!

More loving Dog Days later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Flapping Basset Hound Lovers. Please do tell…

Do you have a flapper? It is really the cutest thing in the world! When a hound lays on its back or side and flaps their front paws!

This flappin’ picture was taken about a week ago.

Here we have the Mayor flappin’ away! He loves to flap, but Emma not so much.

I must ask Grandma. Grandma, have you ever seen Emma flap?

So, I ask you dear readers. Do your hounds flap? I am pretty sure flapping is a happy motion.

I did a video showing some of the Mayor’s flapping motion about 4 years ago! This video NEVER gets old!

Do you have a flapper?

More loving too cute for words later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Dreaming Lovers…..Do you remember when you had dreams of driving? Oh, I sure do. I would spend hours and hours waiting for the day.

Well, so does my nephew….

I had dinner with him tonight and took this shot of him dreaming behind the wheel of his Mom’s car. He still has 2 plus years but dream he does!

I had to harkin’ back to a different dream time. The dreams he used to tell me about after he woke up while he was clutching Chaps….

I wrote all of them down. Not a one mentioned driving…..

Well, time moves on….sometimes 60 miles an hour…..

More remembering those dreams later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
