This is Montgomery Charles, AKA "Monty". He's a very big boy. He loves attention and insists you give it to him.
Last of all, we have Hank. He is the most recent addition to the family. He just wandered into their neighborhood one day, and after working with local Basset rescue, they adopted him.
They are a happy critter family. They've all worked out their boundaries, and live in harmony.
Thanks for posting while you are away! I love the Peaceable Kingdom shot at the end.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Lone Star State, from all of us Texas critter lovers!
ReplyDeleteI want to kiss Hank and Monty all over their silky soft ears! And Cupcake has some pretty spectacular whiskers. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite kitties (including two tuxies) came from Texas -- they make good kitties there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family! We used to live down the street from a lovely Bassett who would wander into my kitchen unannounced. She was such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteAh, just have to mention... Basset hounds have only one t. Here's the wiki entry (take out the spaces):

Reason why I know - my surname is highly similar - but we have *2 t's* - Bassett
Smiles!
Welcome to Texas! I hope you're enjoying the awesome food here. If you're in Austin, know that the animal community here is proud that our animal shelter finally got no-kill status a week or so ago.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, the dogs are beautiful and tux kittys rule x
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little Texas family you and Charlene have! (Craig, too!)
ReplyDeleteKitty biscuits are not to be underestimated, are they? And such a lovely Texas Tuxie!
And handsome pups, too!
What lovely cousins you have Charlene!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting while away Laurie.
@Molly, congrats on your local shelter achieving no-kill status. Wish they were all like that!

It's all About Pet Fences
I'm really not a dog person, but as a Texas girl I do have a soft spot hounds: coon, basset, blood, doesn't matter. They're all awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd I *really* need to boop Cupcake's nose and rub her tummy.
Oh goodness.....what a bunch of cuties! We are very thankful they have rescued all of these babies!
ReplyDeleteI see in the last shot the cat is on top, as it should be. Welcome to our state! If you end up touring anywhere without family guidance and are looking for suggestions of where to eat or have Margaritas or buy a cowboy belt, all us Texan fans would be happy to help.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting, I'm going through IBKC withdrawals. :) Enjoy your vacation, you deserve it! <3 from NYC~!!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you ~ the pics of the family are adorable! xx

ReplyDeleteOn behalf of cats and cat lovers in Houston --- especially the "Montrose Bar Cats" blog and its followers --- I offer a heartfelt welcome and a head butt.
Please feel free to ridicule our elected officials as if you were a native.
OOOOOH! I want to give Hank some hugs and kisses! Look at that sweet face and those big wet eyes...
ReplyDeleteUr friends are cute. I hope they all have new homes very soon. :)
ReplyDeleteI always call bassets "short beagles."
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying your vacation.
ReplyDeleteOHHH BASSET HOUNDS!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteWho needs boring pictures of sunsets. Yours are the cutest vacation pic's ever. However, I want to ask when you are coming home because I am anxiously awaiting your next batch O' cuties!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the cat is the boss :)Ewa
ReplyDeleteWe hope you had a lovely time--cupcake is adorable and I love those bassets. My cat Peeps is a native Houstonian and she hopes you enjoyed your time in her home state.
ReplyDeleteI know what Cupcake is thinking "Boundaries, what boundaries? I may be a cat, but I'm still "top dog"!
