Today was the Kentucky Specialty at the Nationals!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Kentucky Specialty Lovers….OK, I am not 100% sure what a specialty is but I believe it is when a local club hosts an AKC event to provide show folks with a chance to win more points to become a champion.  Often times state specialties are arranged with shows such as a National event being held in that state.  Any who……The Nationals start tomorrow but the shopping started today!  YES!

Guess what?  The fancy pretty girl snood sold!

Also we had a bang up day for House of Puddles making close to 200 dollars!  What fun!

We had Anne Lind of Oldefashionpets.com stop by the HOP booth and donate one framed piece and 3 prints.  The framed piece sold within minutes for 50.00 dollars.  I looked for it on line because I forgot to take a picture and I cannot find it.  Dang it!  I will ask her about it when I see her tomorrow.

When I wasn’t selling I was on the floor meeting my main audience…..HOUNDS!

This is Ruby who is Chaps sister from different Moms!  You cannot imagine howl excited I was to meet herz!

She is such a sweet girl.  She was headed to the ring.  I snapped this picture of her in the ring and I think she was looking at me!  hehehe

Good Girl!  She looked great!  I loved watching her run away from me and seeing her perfect gait.

Then it was on to the next audience member that needed some belly rubbin’!  He was so cute.  Actually, he is also related to Chaps.  I hate that I can’t remember his name.  It was soooooo darlin’.  I will ask his Mom again tomorrow!

Here I am looking all serious about the belly rubbing session.  I think I was saying…”OK boy, when they all turn their backs I can load you into my basset hauling vehicle and be off with you!”

Well, just kidding, the Mayor would have none of that!  Chaps was at home deep in his worry bed.  Poor thing. Also, his Mom would have none of it!  What a wonderful boy!  He looked so much like Chaps.

Here is the view from our booths…..

Tomorrow is a huge day!  My Mom and I pick up Hal’s Mom and her friend from the airport!

You all know Hal from Japan! (Lazy Hal)

Is that not the coolest thing ever?

More international basset relations later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma

    What a wonderful day, I wish I had been able to join you. What a great effort for HOP, and it is wonderful to see that Emma is doing so well in the calendar competition.

    I don’t think Our Mayor and Our Emma can stand too much more of you being away.

    A question,

    Who enjoys the belly rubs more, the hounds or you?
