Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Soaking up the Sun Lovers…I took this picture only seconds ago and I had to share.

It is a wonderful 55 degrees but it feels oh so good to a little girl wearing a fur coat!

We were wondering…

More puppy naps later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB) soaking up rainbows….

What a fun day delivering the bassethoundtown walking club fliers!

April 18th, 2013 - 11:11 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Walking Club Lovers…Judy and I had so much fun today delivering the fliers all over town!

BHTW13:2

We started off at the dog park.

I posted a flier in a zip lock bag next to the gate!

(Marsie, will you post one at your dog park and your Vet office?)

BHTW13:1

Then we found Doodle sunning in his front yard as we delivered our next flier!

He is shouting – “Come to the walk all basset hounds!”

Oh…I love this guy!

BHTW13:3

We delivered a bunch more fliers….

Then Judy and I had a delicious lunch at a neighborhood grill and then I got to love on her hounds Bumper and Abby!

BumperAbbyCat

Grandma was babysitting our young Mayor.   When I got home I wanted to show off Chaps memorial bench under Emma’s cherry tree.

BHTW13:4

One more, OK?

I had to have some cherry blossoms fall on us for good luck.

BHTW13:5

I just want to thank all of the residents for Chaps bench.  I look at it every day and I adore it.

More loving memories later….Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB – with cherry blossoms falling on their heads)

Bassethoundtown.com Walking Club Spring 2013!

April 18th, 2013 - 9:09 am KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Spring Walking Club Lovers….Today I am meeting with my co-hostess and bassethoundtown resident, Judy Alessandro of Bumper and Abby to deliver a few fliers regarding our new Walking Club event!

BHTWCSpring'13-1:s

I will be tweeting a few updates along the way so stay posted!

Here we have our new Mayor, Daisy Lynn checking out the event site last weekend!  It all looks in order to her!

BHWC'13

BASSETHOUNDTOWN WALKING CLUB IS ON FACEBOOK!

Now for a little known fact about my co-hostess, Judy!  She also has a flock of birds!

Judy's flock

Pretty birds….

More updates about the Spring Walk later….Love, Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB and leading the way)

I know we all miss our Kids…

April 17th, 2013 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and missing our kids lovers.  I actually believe that Daisy Lynn feels at home in our neighborhood park because she recognizes the smells.

Chaps, Emma, Grandma and I lived in this park with the kids.

SpringBeauty

I know they are with us.

More missing Chaps, Emma, and Grandpa everyday…Love, Cat, Daisy Lynn ( and the kids ATB and in the park with us)

It was a big day for a young pup, thunderstorm included!

April 16th, 2013 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Big Day Lovers…Today was Puppy Daisy Lynn’s first time to visit Dr. Leick.  If you recall, Dr. Leick is a holistic vet that does chiropractic and acupuncture techniques.  Chaps and Emma benefited greatly.

Most of his patients are elderly or injured as you can imagine.  I decided to take Mayor Daisy as a young pup so Dr. Leick can feel her and she can get used to his techniques.  Puppies can really play hard and I had a huge list of questions.

Dr.L1

Daisy Lynn met a very nice boy Bichon named Max in the lobby.

Dr.L3

So then we went back to the examination room.  Daisy Lynn did really good for a young pup!

Look at us looking at each other…hehehe

Dr.L2

Dr. Leick said he felt she had a few tiny alignment issues but she was in great shape over all.

With her extra long back we want to make sure she is watched carefully.  Dr. Leick agreed that keeping her off the furniture will only help her in the long run.  She has never been on it so she will never miss it when she get old.  (OMDawg, I cannot even imagine Daisy Lynn old)…

We took a quick walk in the park and then home to Verna or one of her babies taking a bath!

vernabath

Then the e-mail alert came!  Thunderstorm watch!  Would this be our first real storm?

Yes!

Daisy Lynn was not scared just curious!

IMG_5184

What a huge and wonderful way to end the day.  I know that one storm is not the end all to a phobic hound but by George it is a great start!

I was calling her litter Thunder Heart!  A nick name Julian, my nephew gave Chaps about 7 years ago.  It just jumped out of my mouth.

See the Thunder bolt and the heart?

Thunderheart1

I think the late Mayor was with us.  I am sure there is no fear over the rainbow bridge.

More loving a curious hound later….Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB watching over all of us)

 

Facebook find of the day…Basset Hound Club of Switzerland:)

April 15th, 2013 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and the club in Switzerland lovers…

I thought this Tube was cute.

I just wanted to share.

More loving Swiss hounds later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) walking along side of Swiss hounds…

P.S. Basset Blessings Boston…sigh

Viewing the Pink Magnolias with Daisy Lynn…

April 14th, 2013 - 9:09 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Pink Magnolia Lovers.  Today we took Baby Gerber Daisy to the Boone County Arboretum.

The last time we visited we were with Chaps and Emma and got lost! 

The walking paths are so confusing and today was no different.  We almost got lost again!

The day started with a delicious picnic and Daisy was so excited!

BooneCounty1

The Arboretum was showcasing the Pink Magnolias which were in full bloom.

BooneCounty2

Pink Magnolias were at their peak in Northern KY today and we were all excited to be a part of that!

BooneCounty6

Daisy Lynn was in her glory.  Can you imagine a puppy seeing all of this for the first time?

Look at her smile.  So sweet!

BooneCounty3

And the smiling continued under the blush magnolia!

BooneCounty5

The puppy was pleased…

BooneCounty4

More loving almost getting lost in the pink magnolias later, Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) showing us the way…

 

Little Pitchers Have Big (and long) Ears

April 12th, 2013 - 8:08 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Little Pitcher Lovers…

A very dear friend of mine, Richie Churchill of the famous Bugler (The Basset Hound Magazine) sent Daisy Lynn and I a little gift package!

DaisyLynnpitcher1

We adore these items.  One is a Little Pitcher and the other is a Fred Basset Comic Book!

DaisyLynnpitcher2

I had the perfect flowers for the Little Pitcher, some dried roses from Chaps memorial arrangement.

DaisyLynnPitcher4

The little basset on the little pitcher even looks like the late Mayor…

So I placed it in his favorite room, the kitchen!

DaisyLynnPitcher5

Thank you Richie… it really means a lot to us…

More loving little pitchers with big and long ears later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) waiting for Mommy to read the Fred Book!

 

 

Everything is new for a puppy!

April 11th, 2013 - 8:08 pm KY Time

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Spring Screen Lovers…

Today I put up the office screen to let some fresh air in.  I was wondering what Baby Gerber would think about it!

Daisyscreen1

It took all of a few seconds for her to figure it out!

Daisyscreen2

“Mommy, this is fun!”

Daisyscreen3

Freedom is such a fun thing.  Even though she has a dog door, I have had the gate up until I got the back yard cleaned up of all sticks and such.

Now she has full run of the patio, but not the hillside yet.

Looks like we have a sunbather!

Daisyscreen5

More new puppy adventures later…Love Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) knowing there are plenty of scents on the pavers….
