If anyone ever needed a St. Francis Medal for his Collar it is Chaps!
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and St. Francis of Assisi (Patron St. of Animals) Lovers…
Today when we opened our mail we found the most beautiful and thoughtful gift for The Mayor from Karin Smith. Karin and I are friends and as you might remember….she is the foster Mom of Nash. The hound that needs a home and I think looks just like Emma….
Look, what she sent to Chaps, it is a charm to add to his collar for protection and love.
I think this St. Francis medal is stunning.
I added it to his collar immediately….
Now we are off to the vet to have Chaps stitches removed and his swollen acupuncture site looked out. Look howl dapper the Mayor looks!
St. Frances holds a special place in my heart. I found our Lily on St. Francis Day back in 1994. I named her Lily Pad Serina Francis Rudert.
This is the night I brought her home. I remember that night so well. I was getting ready to go to bed and I was wondering what she was going to do. She didn’t seem the least bit confused like Chloe and I were. Chloe jumped up in my bed and Lily followed right behind her. I was like, OK…. Amazing.
And one more St. Francis reference….
Chaps was invited years ago to a blessing of the animals on St. Francis day.
Here is a YouTube I did of it…..
Thank you Karin we love our medal. Let’s find Nash that perfect home. I know St. Francis is watching out over him as well.
I will be doing some more blogging about Nash this weekend. I will have more pictures and links to his adoption application. Himz ready for his own couch!
More loving protection later….Cat, Chaps and Emma ATB

What a thoughtful and beautiful gift! And it looks fabulous on our mayor. I hope the doc visit went ok and Chaps got those nasty stitches out.
What a thoughtful and wonderful gift. I am sure Chaps appreciates howl special this gift is and he will wear it always.
That is just beautiful ! Chaps looks great in it. How nice of her to do that for you and Chaps.
Cat, this is a most precious gift for Chaps!! I have a special devotion to St. Francis, and Chaps is in my continued prayers to him:)

Well, today is 11-19-12. I wanted to update this blog posting about Nash. Chances are that he is related to Emma. Nash was a part of the blind basset colony that HHBR was helping to place. I am just so mad at them for not being honest with me. This is a big, ugly sorted mess and Nash had to suffer first for being blind and second for being a part of a much larger lie.
Dr. Kuehn told me that HHBR is involved with the colony and placing some of it’s members. I was lied to over and over again by this basset hound rescue and it is very sad to me. If you want to keep up with my research please follow this link.

Most information is at the end of the comment section but it sure helps to read the entire page and educate yourself to what is going on. I suggest you do not donate to a rescue like Hound Haven Basset Hound Rescue in Iowa. They are crooks and lie right through their teeth.
