Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Eye Candy Lovers……

A special shout out to Debbie and the Masterpiece Bassets for sending me this pawsome e-mail!

If I ever make it overseas again this is on my bucket list.

THE NETHERLANDS IN MAY!

Can you imagine this is your backyard?

The northern Netherlands in the middle of tulip season. The Dutch landscape in May is kaleidoscope of color as the tulips burst into life. The bulbs are planted in late October and early November. More than three billion tulips are grown each year and two-thirds of the vibrant blooms are exported, mostly to the U.S. and Germany.

Their dazzling colors are thanks to the years in the 17th century when tulip mania swept the
globe and the most eye-catching specimens changed hands for a small fortune.

But like a rainbow, this colorful landscape is a short-lived phenomenon.

When the flowers are gone, the land will be cultivated for a rather more mundane crop of vegetables.

The Netherlands produce more than nine million bulbs a year.

Wanna see the 2 lips in my back yard?

More EYE CANDY later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and loving our new mini quilts lovers! We are very excited in bassethoundtown about our new purchase! It was a big leap, but leap we did. These quilts are the highest quality and we LOVE them!

Well, well, well…..Grandma and I decided that we could not put these special new quilts on a 10 year old bed so we went off to find the perfect new bed. It is so cool. We found it at Petsmart. This is a picture of Chaps on it. Of course it will never be seen again because it will be covered up! But it matches!

The kids could not wait to try out their new set up!

I decided to put the extra quilt on my mini couch in my office. This is a fold out single bed! I love it!

Then Emma came in to try out the new set up!

She absolutely loves it. A 10 year old bed is way too old and full of dust mites. It was one of the bolster beds that you can’t wash. I always kept it covered but it was time to retire it.

Chaps looks happy as well!

Then Emma crawled in and Grandma covered her up with her lap duvet!

Chaps was confused (as usual) and this is what ensued!

We will find a nice balance soon!

Oh! BREAKING NEWS…..both kids are on the new bed! They look like yin and yang!

More loving dandy, fancy mini quilts later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and soon to be Ranger Lovers…..

Yesterday I had a very important item on my list and that was to meet Ranger. This handsome boy wound up in our local pound a few weeks ago. I did not find out about him until I was chatting with my Animal Control officer last week. She runs the local all breed rescue, SMALL ANIMAL ADOPTION PROGRAM (SAAP).

I was thrilled that she pulled him! I told her I would come to her adoption event this weekend and do some networking on behalf of Mr. Ranger!

Look howl hopeful he is. I took him out and we went for a nice walk, potty break, and freshened his water. The poor thing was racing like a engine. He couldn’t go fast enough.

I finally got him to slow down for a second and smile for Grandma.

“Hi Grandma”!

There was a pet fair going on at this adoption event and the Grand Marshall was Nosey! A 6 month old basset pup that belongs to Marcie Hall!

She was selling kisses for a dollar for SAAP! I bought my kiss, INDEED!

Hopefully Ranger will be giving his new family free kisses very soon! Click on the link above if you would like more information, or feel free to e-mail me!

More Loving Kisses and Hounds Named Ranger and Nosey Later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma
