Peeps On Parade - Hosted by Sarge

Sarge is hosting a Peeps on Parade this weekend and we have decided to join in.  You can find out all the details on Sarge's blog.  But in the meantime enjoy reading about our peeps.

We are three basset hounds that live in Midwest (Illinois).  We live in a house on a dead in street with our HDD (HoundDogDad) and HDM (HoundDogMom).  We have a 2-legged brother but he does not live with us anymore and when he moved out he took the bedroom cat with him.

First up will be our Dad......

He gets to make his own hours and do his own thing since he is self-employed in the car repair business.  He prefers to work on the older cars and rebuild their engines and stuff.  He likes to make them run better for the people that are restoring them.  He gives great belly/butt rubs and fills our water bowls with fresh water several times a day.  He will also spend hours shoveling our backyard so we have paths in the deep snow.

He drives our truck to haul our house on wheels

 He sets up everything for us at our campsites

 He snuggles with us a nighttime

 This is our Dad and 2-legged brother at a local hockey game.

This would be our 2-legged brother, he babysits us and visits us a couple times a week

Know for our Mom (HoundDogMom aka HDM).  Know we thinks that she is pretty awesome but she runs herself a little thin every know and then.  

Our Mom

Here are just a few of the very important things she does for us on a daily basis.
 
Feeds us twice a day (can I get an amen to that)
Fresh water
Homemade treats (she can bake)
Walks, Walks and Walks
Spa nights (for our ears and stuff)
Butt rubs, snuggles and more
Takes that flashy box out and takes way to many pictures
And you name it she pretty much does it for us.
 

 This would be her taking us for a walk in the park

And this would be the new BUV (Basset Utility Vehicle) she bought us this year

Our Mom also volunteers lots of hours for basset rescue.  She transports the bassets into rescue or sometimes like this girl she was taking her to her fur-ever home.

She picks up our poop as Winston snapped these pictures.

She will chase down somebody she doesn't know just to see their cool Radio Flyer Wagon and get a ride to act like a beauty queen.

Well we hope you enjoyed our Peeps, we think they are pretty special and plan on keeping them around for a long time.

Sniffs, The HoundDogs
