PET OF THE WEEK

Trooper and Sneakers

Name: Sneakers (left) and Trooper (right)

Breed: Basset Hounds

Weight: Sneakers 65lbs Trooper 45lbs

Home: Chicago Illinois

Best Friend: Debra Roon

Hobbies: Sneakers - Play tug of war with Trooper, sleep, chew on bones, eat, sleep, wrestle with Trooper and chase him around the house, sleep some more...!!! Sneakers loves to corner Trooper in the yard and bark at him as if to say "This is my yard".

Hobbies: Trooper - Follow me around the house, play tug of war with Sneakers, run around the house, play with his FAVORITE squirrel stuffed animal. He is most famous for being able to get through the child gate that is supposed to keep him in the kitchen. He loves to expand the gate fully and jump through the diamonds into the other room. Flies also irritate Trooper, he will chase them around the house and jump into the air trying to catch them.

We have had Sneakers since he was 6 months old. He came in second place in his obedience class... "pretty good for a Basset, they are stubborn". We have had Trooper since January of 1996, we adopted him from an animal shelter.

Both dogs sleep in bed and are spoiled like children. They have a large laundry basket full of toys, bones, etc.. etc...
