Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and doing your taxes lovers and that is only if you are finishing doing your taxes…Whew…Actually, I hate doing taxes beyond most things.  The only thing that makes doing taxes better is Jack Daniels or Daisy Lynn.  I don’t do Jack so…..enter Daisy Lynn…

The afternoon was just so….taxing that we had to take a stress nap…

Here is the view from my pillow…

More loving putting the package in the mail to the CPA later….Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) thinking CPA means Carrots, Potatoes and Apples

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Play Date Lovers…OMDog!  Daisy Lynn and I had so much fun today.  Marsie and Nosey came over for an afternoon of fun and frivolity!

Nosey arrived in her dandy yellow rain coat right on time!

Daisy Lynn had no idea what was in store for her!

Nosey and Daisy Lynn went immediately into play stance!  Daisy Lynn was so excited to share her toys!

Then it was off to the races!

Then Daisy Lynn collapsed in Marsie’s lap.  It was soooo cute!  Marsie had time to inspect the patty!  hehehe

Nosey was so very sweet.  They became fast friends!

A play date would not be complete without a fortune cookie!

What a stunning fortune for Nosey and exactly true!

They had so much fun and it went too fast.  Daisy Lynn wanted to share her bed and Nosey fit right in.

Well, it was time to go and Daisy Lynn was so sad….

I guess all good things must come to an end, but hopefully not for long.

Hurry back friends…

More loving Nosey and Marsie later….Cat Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB) making fortunes come true!

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Granny Smith Lovers…OMDawg…I love Granny Smith Apples.  I was having one with my breakfast this morning and Daisy Lynn wanted a bite.  Can hounds have apples?  Who better to ask than my boyfriend, Google….

Yes, dogs can have apples with no problem.  A taste of apple a day keeps the vet away!

Google suggested that I put a few small pieces in a Kong.  Guess what?  I bought her a Kong that I had not given her yet.   Let’s give it a whirl.

Sounds like fun!

This kept her busy for about 20 minutes…

She enjoyed her Granny Smith slice and her new puppy Kong…

But wait a second…I started to wonder if these rubber Kongs were safe.  Did they have that awful BPA in them or other chemicals?

So back to boyfriend Google.  It was strange.  I could not find the answer which is very odd.  So, I called Kong.  The answer is “no”.  Kongs are made to the strict regulations that human Children’s toys are made to.  The customer service rep was awesome and I made a suggestion to her.  Add this fantastic information to your website.  Concerned parents want to know these things are safe.

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and warm weather lovers…Well, in bassethoundtown we cannot wait for the good weather.

When I was talking to the previous owner of our Daisy Lynn, she was telling me that she was excited for her to move to a warmer climate.

I can certainly see why!  If the heat is on she will find the vent!

She loves warm air blowing on her.

Daisy Lynn would have never made it in Denver!  hehehe

More loving looking forward to the warm weather later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) loving rolling in the spring grass

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Beautiful Hound Lovers…OMDawg Daisy Lynn looks so great.  Her fur feels like butter cream frosting.

Daisy Lynn was a bit nervous being in the bath environment….

This is the first time we have washed a basset in the tub!  That in and of itself was exciting!

For about 1 minute!  It was like we were lowering her into a torture chamber….

The entire bath lasted about 3 minutes…

Grandma and I worked like crazy but got her soaped up and rinsed in record time.

It was worth it!

Look howl she glows….

And glows….

What just happened Momma?

Herz don’t like her first bath day…

More butter cream frosting fur later…Love Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB) knowing exactly howl she feels….

Howllo Fellow basset hound and avatar lovers…Well, I thought it was time to update my avatars on my social networking sites.  You know, that profile type picture that identifies who you are.

So, of course Grandma was the photographer.  She rocks the IPhone camera.

First off we had to wake up Daisy Lynn…

She had to get ready for her close up!

Grandma had to help her up on the couch next.  Oh, she is sooooo cute!

OK, it got off to a rocky start.

I like this one but not quite right….

OK, this one is it!  Our avatar on the social networking sites.  I do love it!

Just 2 simple gals with a dream….

More loving photo shoots and not baths later….Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB) approving….

Howllow Fellow Basset Hound and Saturday Night Lovers….

Tonight Daisy Lynn and I have big plans.  Laying around looking out the window!

Guess who was sitting right in the front yard?  Yes, you got it!  Verna or one of her earlier fledglings.  It was so cute.

I called our young Mayor’s name and told her that we take care of our robins in bassethoundtown!

She smiled…

Spring is right around the corner but Saturday night is here right now.  We hope you have a great night!

More loving Verna and her flock later….Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB) with some of the flock…all smiling….

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Home Visit Lovers…Today our very own Cindy of the Doyle Hounds went on a home visit for Basset Buddies Basset Rescue of TX.  She went to see if the applicant for a new rescue hound would pass the home test.  Of course they passed with flying colors and Cindy said it was the perfect home for any basset.  Howl could it not be?  Look who is also waiting for a new friend….

His name is MAYOR!!!

OK, Howl sweet is this guy?  Can you believe howl much he looks like our very own late Mayor?

Well, Cindy could not either so she sent me some pictures of the big sad guy.

He recently lost his bonded mate named Molly who went over the bridge…

Mayor has been so sad and lonely.

Now Mayor will have a friend to live with in his big beautiful home and be his new companion.  That extra bed will be filled with love soon.

Thank you Mayor for coming to me today and introducing yourself.

Thank you Cindy for sharing this wonderful hound who so reminds me of my darling and strongly missed Mayor.

2-22-13 is a good day for all of us…
