Bella - Future Model

Bella has some upcoming functions to attend and I got to thinking that she really needed a wardrobe (despite my husbands crumbling).  I haven't had many hounds that liked to wear clothes so Bella is my first.

Winston would not allow anything on his back or head for the most part.

Amiee freezes like a statue when you place a coat or neck thing around her.

Cleo would allow you to dress her up for several events we went to.

But, Bella this girl loves to be pretty (when she is not out rolling in the dirt to find her most comfortable spot).  BOL

I know we have tons of blogging friends, and their fur-babies have like a whole closet full of clothes to wear.  Bella had two coats and she just loved them so I thought she needed some pretty dresses to wear to her upcoming nursing home visits and her special guest appearance she will be making later this month at the Basset Ball (shhhhh), it is a surprise to everyone.  I began the research of finding some place to purchase some dresses for her.  We do not have any local that had anything that was what I was looking for.  So I got to thinking, WTH am I going to do, dates are approaching fast.  So I reached out to one of my blogging friends Snazzi Jazzi and we asked her Peep if she would be willing to make Miss Bella a few dresses.  Because she makes some very awesome dresses for Jazzi and she is always Snazzi.  She is just the sweetest person and agreed to the task at hand.  I immediately went out and purchased some material and sent to her, but I can tell you I am not a sewer and have no ideas about colors and stuff. I just knew I wanted something with the spring colors in it.  Oh, my gosh you are not going to be believe what Bella got in the mail last week.  She got a box (of course I didn't take a picture) because I just ripped open the box when I seen it was from Jazzi's Mom.  Jazzi's Mom has definitely out done herself and Bella will be one Girly Hound when she begins her nursing home visits.

Without further ado.............

Easter Egg Hunt Hound Style

So as everyone is aware the Easter Bunny came yesterday and he left some evidence in the back yard that he had been to our house, for sure.  As you all know our peep doesn't have small two-leggers running around much, just us 4-leggers.  She says a Mom-Peep has got to do what she has to do to provide some entertainment at the Hound House.  She takes those little plastic eggs and fills them with dog treats and places them all over the yard for us.  Once you find one egg you will get the hang of it and the race is one.  We hope you enjoy our easter egg hunt "Hound Style".

Eggs and Easter Toys Galore 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Hounds are loose 

Bella wasn't quite sure what to do at first 

Amiee finally remembered from last year 

Winston remembered for sure, he gathered the most eggs

Even got to know which ones had the soft treats vs. hard treats and wouldn't open the eggs with hard treats.  BOL 

 

Yum Yum 

I found one all by myself 

 

 

Yep that was worth it 

Oh, I see an egg! 

 

As you can see Winston was a hoarder 

 

Bella would get her one go to her bed, open then look for another one 

 

 

 

 

Amiee wasn't happy Winston was getting all the god ones 

 

Oh so good 

 

 

 

  

 

All the empty eggs, to be recylced for next year's

Have you ever had an ester egg for your fur-babies?

We leave you with a very unhappy funny bunny!
