Happy Easter furiends! (Even a month later…)
For this past Easter holiday, we had so much fun celebrating, and giving back to our entire community, we would love to do a fun Easter recap with you all!
Yearly visits from the Easter bunny are normally our favorite part of the Easter holiday, so we couldn’t help but think of how we could give to our community as little Easter bunny pups.
As always, these holidays and events would not be able to happen without our best fur friends.
Therefore, everyone give a big welcome to our Easter pups: Bailey (@baileythequarendoggo), Black Mamba (@thetinyblackmamba), Cruz & the Gang (@cruzthefrenchie), Emi & JoJo (@emi.and.jojo), Pumpkin (@pumpkin_in_jc), Leo, Olivia, & Jolie (@leo.olivia.jolie), Maggie, Cody, & Brady (@littlemaggieandbros), Mia (@mia_the_westie_), Prince Louis CXIII (@prince_louis_113th), Santiago (@coton.santiago), Mikey (@tinyspikeymikey), Stripe (@stripehairless), and Teddy & Ana (@tourwithteddy)!
For this Easter celebration, we had all our Instagram friends follow our Easter hashtag: #HandBsEasterPups!
Everyone was welcomed to post pictures and videos under the hashtag with their best Easter themed content, and this entered them in our giveaways, as well as allowed us to feature them on our stories.
We absolutely LOVED seeing all the Easter content, outfits, and celebrations.
To join in on all the fun, we decided to also dress up with all our furiends to celebrate.
With Stripe (@stripehairless), we decided to spend the day dressed up as lambs, and then were princesses with our furiend Mia (@mia_the_westie). Then, we spent the day eating super yummy macarons with Emi & JoJo (@emi.and.jojo). And of course, what is an Easter bunny without carrots? We spent some time with our Easter bunny friend Prince Louis CXIII (@prince_louis_113th) munching on yummy carrots.
Us and Black Mamba (@thetinyblackmamba) threw on our super cute gnome outfits, and after so much fun with dressing up, we had a yummy brunch with Teddy & Ana (@tourwithteddy). Of course, we had to dress up with Peeps to properly celebrate the holiday, and our friend Bailey (@bailythequarendoggo) joined us! Then, to welcome the Spring season, we dressed up with Leo, Olivia, & Jolie (@leo.olivia.jolie) as Easter bunnies surrounded by the prettiest flowers. Santiago (@coton.santiago) and us dressed up as Peter Rabbit and gave out pretty roses dressed as garden bunnies with Maggie, Cody, & Brady (@littlemaggieandbros). We dressed up with Cruz and the Gang (@cruzthefrenchie) as Alice and Wonderland. And finally, we decided to dress up with our sister Pumpkin (@pumpkin_in_jc) as Easter queens!
All of our outfits and Easter themes can be found on our Instagram @hammyandbrody.
For the celebrations, we had the best DJ ever, Mikey (@tinyspikeymikey), to spin the best beats to get the party started, dressed as the Easter King. Michele (@artbymichele), did the amazing graphics that could also be found on our Instagram.

We partnered with our furiend Santiago (@coton.santiago) to sponsor a hashtag contest and Easter Egg hunt!
As we posted our Easter reels, we kept one thing the same in each reel. It was up to our followers to figure out what that one thing was and DM us their answer.
So, what was the one thing in common on the Easter Egg Hunt reel? It was a real egg!
If you missed it, feel free to check out our reels again and see if you notice it now!
Congratulations to our furiend Theo the Poodle Boy (@theo.the.poodle.boy) on being the first one to give us the right answer!
Then, we went through our Easter hashtag to pick out our favorite Easter themed photo and reel.
Congratulations to our best photo winner, Rocky (@rockynycmorkie), and our best reel winner, Juno (@juno_yorkiepoo)!
We had the time of our lives celebrating this past Easter holiday and would love to send a big shout out to every single person and pup that made these celebrations possible to begin with.
The fun never just ends there, though, when it comes to Hammy and Brody!
Coming up very soon is our very own Hammy’s birthday this June.
If you want to stay up to date with Hammy’s birthday festivities, make sure to follow the hashtag #partylikeapatriotforhammy on Instagram.
