Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and the Late Colby Chaps Mead, lovers…
One of the greats in our basset hound community has crossed over the rainbow bridge. He was my Grandhound and I adored him.

I was fortunate to be a part of the majority of his life when I e-mailed his Mom back in 2007. I had just adopted his Daddy, the late Mayor Chaps Wayne Rudert of bassethoundtown and found out that he had fathered one litter. In that litter was the one and only Colby Chaps Mead. His Mommy, Audra and I became instant friends and never went a few days without communicating. We both are devoted basset hound rescue advocates and work together to promote responsible ownership. Colby Chaps is proceeded in death by his little rescue sister Abby. He was surrounded by his loved ones and HOSPICE at the time of his passing. Colby Chaps was almost 13 years old and was experiencing some complications of old age. He dedicated his life to his family and brought them an abundance of joy and love with his kind and gentle nature. Colby Chaps Mead made this world a better place. Thank you my Grandhound I will be eternally grateful.
More loving and never forgetting my Grandhound…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB with Colby Chaps…)
