Nothing quite like Sunday dinner with the ones you love!

More lazy Sundays later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB eating with all of the ATB bassethoundtown resident hounds)

 

In Memory of Emma – gone over the bridge one year ago today:(

June 29th, 2013 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Emma Lovers…OMGawd we were all one of those!  I cannot believe that it has been one year since Emma told me it was her time to go.  It seems like yesterday.  This year has passed by so fast.

I miss my girl like crazy.

Emma was one of the best teachers I have ever had, maybe the best teacher.

I view all of my hound children as teachers.

Wise and profound are their ways of the world.

WiseEmma

The lessons are so touching.  Their knowledge is right there for us to grab.  I pay such close attention to most every detail because within a single moment answers will unfold.

Emma smiles for ice cream

I cherished each and every moment I had with darling Emma, my child.  Her spirit and determination never wavered.  She never complained about a single thing.  She ruled our home with such joy and love.

Emma and I still have a mission, and that is to bring awareness to the dreadful disease that she accepted better than her family at times.

Hereditary glaucoma took her eyes but not her power of truth and her knowledge of love.

Emma kiss

I promised her before Hospice came, a year ago today, that I would fight on and never give up exposing those who carelessly and recklessly breed out of greed.

My research and investigations are much too detailed to relate now, plus now is not the time.  Now is the time to know in my heart that she is with her best friend and protector, The Mayor – Chaps Wayne Rudert.

Together, forever…

I miss and love you, my child, my daughter, my teacher…

Your lessons are still being taught and I am still learning from you…

Our walks were a wonderful class room

More learning and loving later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB with Grandpa keeping me wise)

 

Good Morning bassethoundtown residents! Wanna Play?

June 27th, 2013 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Wanna Play lovers….This morning Romeo woke up really early and was very restless.  I think he wanted to play with our very own Daisy Lynn!!!

Oh, Daisy Lynn….where are you?

PlayDaisyLynn

Of course Miss Daisy Lynn wanted to play but first a big basset hound kiss!

“Your name is Romeo right? So, show me some RoRo-mance”!

PlayDaisyLynn2

OK, let’s go play big boy!

PlayDaisyLynn3

Romeo can come in the dog door but he won’t go out the dog door.  Wonder why?  I keep trying to teach him but he gets really scared.

More loving play hounds later….Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB glad that Daisy Lynn likes her cousins)

PS – Enzo slept in – Lucky dog….

I have some summer interns…

June 26th, 2013 - 7:07 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Summer Interns Lovers…I have always dreamed of having an intern.  Some hard working gal or guy that wants to learn the biz under my tutelage…

Oh, who am I kidding?  Interns work for free!

Now my dream has come true!

Howllo Fellow Basset hound and Frank Lovers.  I posted this video back in 2010 because I loved it.  I still do.  I laughed and cried.  Frank does remind me of Chaps and he was a big juicy boy just like Frank.

Time sure does pass by so quickly.

More loving big juicy boy hounds later….Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB watching Mommy)

We greeted a young, in training basset belly rubber in it!

I love my new T-Shirt!  Plus, the logo has all of my favorite colors…

The Baby Mayor was all tuckered out on our ride home.  She actually laid her head in the exact same spot as our Later Mayor.

Grandma and I call it “chining in”…The late Mayor always had his head between Grandma and I on the arm rest.

More loving BAGS later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB chining in on rainbows!)
