On hot days there really isn’t anything else better than hitting the pool to keep cool.
Lucky for me my sister loves pool days too, so I’ve got a best friend to keep me company while we float around.
And with one mention of watermelon by mom…..our hot summer day is complete!
What do you do to beat the heat?

Now at first glance this might look like just a cute book about Dogs and Their People. And while that fun smiling corgi is super fun, there is something even more special about this book…
…I’m in the book! As you can see my sister couldn’t wait to help me celebrate my very first “in print” literature.
Many lucky dogs just like me have people that love them very much (like my sister here), so much so that the quirky stories that prove their love are included in this book of collected stories by my friends over at Barkbox!
So I’m sure none of you are surprised that I might be included in this book, after all my mom and dad do some crazy things to show me that they care. (Taking me flying, a road trip so I could walk the red carpet, and documenting my entire life on this blog to name a few)
In the Dogs and their People Book I’ve got an entire page dedicated to me, written by my mom!
The Barkshop even came out with this super fun replica book that doubles as a baby toy (or I guess dog toy depending on who you are)!
So if you’re looking for a cool gift for all your friends this holiday season, or just can’t get enough of yours truly, be sure to grab this fabulous book! It’s got so many fun reads inside that I’m still not finished it completely.
Available at:
And don’t forget to snag one of the fun toys from the BarkShop. Code AMMO gets you a special surprise at checkout!
A few weeks ago mom picked me out a new toy basket*.

Once I got over the initial confusion on it’s intended use (I mean it “could” double as a dog bed don’t you think)….it was time to test out it’s real function in holding my toys.
This is going to be a much bigger adjustment than I thought. Perhaps some new toys for my basket with help me with this big change… *wink*
Have you ever caught your dog on camera doing something goofy like me?

Lately I’ve been a little worried that I might be out of a job soon. One of my favorite jobs too…..security! See my friends over at Vimtag have added some new cameras to their line of affordable home security and monitoring systems. Which essentially means there might not be as much of a need for my super barking skills! The horror!
But you know, I decided to let my pal Trooper share in my pain of being replaced in the security department too. So I sent my new Vimtag M1 Mini Cube Camera to his house for surveillance. I’m so nice like that.
This tiny camera can be mounted to a wall, ceiling, or simply set on a shelf. And even though it’s small, it can record a big area of a room with it’s wide angle lens!
Trooper and I thought we would be getting an “extra pair of eyes” at the farm….only to realize that the mini cube was intended to record us when we were left alone! Gulp. We better be on our best behavior I guess.
Because even when our parents aren’t home to keep an eye on us they can check what we are up to by watching from their smart phone devices with live streaming.
With all kinds of features like motion detection, night vision, two-way voice features, and more the mini cube packs a whole lot into a tiny little camera.
Next it was time to test out the Vimtag P1 Premium IP Wireless Network Camera. With a fancy name like that I decided we should install it at the shop to help me out with my guard dog duties (you know, should I be on break taking one of my daily naps).
This camera can pan and tilt, has motion triggered push notifications, and it even supports multiple users. You can quickly and easily change your camera’s passwords within the mobile app as well as creating guest passwords for other users so that you can keep all your recordings nice and secure.
Since I’m a pretty short fellow I thought it was best to install this camera up high so it could get a view of the things I couldn’t. Mom had no problem installing the mounting bracket that came with the camera to the wall.
With the camera attached, connected to wifi, and plugged into a power source (this camera does require a power cord to run, and doesn’t run on batteries) we were ready to roll!
Mom also decided to hook this camera up to the Vimtag Smart Cloud Box. This handy box connects to your wifi and is able to record and store your surveillance feeds from any of the Vimtag Cameras. With 1TB of space it can hold hours of video, and should your camera ever get stolen you can still access the Cloud Box remotely to download the footage. I love that now even when I’m not at the shop my Vimtag camera can keep an eye on everything!
Should mom ever want to check on what is going on in the shop she can quickly check in via the free Vimtag app on her mobile phone too.
The Vimtag cameras have always been super simple to set-up too (and if I didn’t have clumsy paws I’m sure I could do it myself!). But should you ever need help, their support team is always just a phone call away. Full disclosure, mom did have to call tech support for some issues she was having with this P1 camera after set-up, but their staff was super helpful and was able to help remedy the issue.
I can’t recommend the Vimtag camera systems enough though, they’re super great for all your video monitoring needs wether you want to check on your pets at home, or simply need an extra set of eyes for surveillance (which will give your dog a much needed break!).
You can snag the Vimtag Mini Cube, P1 Camera & Cloud Storage Box from Amazon at some great prices!

Disclosure: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Vimtag. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!
Ever since this Wireless Video Monitor from Vimtag showed up at my house last year I’ve found myself “in the doghouse” on several occasions. And since you guys seem to love hearing about my “bad dog” antics, I’m back with another installment of my recent “caught on camera” moments!
Now if you don’t remember, the Vimtag Wireless Monitor is a camera the connects to your homes Wifi and allows your parents to check up on you from anywhere they want via their smart phone. Yeah, so you can see why I’ve gotten caught in a few “sticky” situations lately.
Recently they caught me red handed….
When packages arrive at the house I don’t really care who they are addressed to, anything is fair game. I just assume even if it’s not meant for me I might find the contents inside useful anyway.
Too lazy to wander into the kitchen to find my water bowl, I’m totally not above taking a drink out of the convenient fountain in the bathroom. After all, it is closer to my giant dog bed in the master bedroom!
I couldn’t really deny any of these naughty acts when mom came home with time stamped images from the Vimtag App as proof…
Read all about my adventures with Vimtag, and the array of uses my mom has found for this wireless video monitor. You can snag your own Vimtag Wireless Video Monitoring Camera from Amazon to catch your own naughty dog in the act! (and I am not responsible for any dogs that get in trouble!)
P.S. While it’s not to say that I’m always a perfect angel, these “caught on camera” scenes are dramatizations all in the name of good fun! (Although I won’t say I’ve never been caught doing something I shouldn’t!)

So it’s totally that time of year when Trooper and I enjoy rolling in mud and generally getting pretty dirty on the farm (and one of us really loves to go down dirty groundhog holes). So it comes at no surprise that we find ourselves in the bath A LOT.
Thanks to my new friends at MIU Pet Trooper and I now have a new tool to make bath time a bit quicker (so we can get back to all that running around on the farm!)
The MIU Pet Multi-Functional Handheld Pet Shower is a tool designed to make bathing simple again with single hand operation.
It comes with a shower head, stainless steel hose, and 4 hose adapters to fit most faucets.
The shower head has an easy to reach button on the side to control the flow of water, plastic prongs that provide gentle massage and makes your pet bathing enjoyable, and under that blue cap on the bottom is an opening that allows you to add soap to the shower head that can be released with the touch of another button.
While this pet shower is designed for indoor and outdoor use, the attachments that come with it are designed to hook to a bathroom shower head or indoor faucet, similar to the one pictured below:
Since I didn’t have the right shower or faucet at my house I decided to test out the shower in the barn wash stall. Mom had to get a little creative with the how to attach the MIU Pet hose to the barn hose – but after picking up a few hose attachments at the hardware store we were ready for a bath.
Well, technically Trooper was ready for a bath! (it’s still a bit too cold for me and my short hair to have a bath outside this time of year).
So after adding some soap to the shower head, we were ready to get Trooper all squeaky clean!
Trooper has the ideal hair type for this type of shower head, because the massaging prongs came in real handy with getting soap and water deep into his thick coat of hair.
The one-handed design of this pet shower came in real handy. With one hand free to keep Trooper from running off, the other hand could easily bathe the dog without having to put down the hose in search of soap or a brush….because it’s all right there!
All squeaky clean after his bath!
While the MIU Pet Shower can do many things, there is one thing it can’t do….keep Trooper from rubbing off his clean dog smell on the barn walls!
While Trooper loved that his bath time was cut in half, I loved that he was the one that had to test it instead of me! 😉 I’ll reserve my baths for the 80 degree weather, thank you very much.
Trooper wasn’t the only one that got to test the MIU Pet Shower though, even the horses found a use for it!
You can fetch the MIU Pet Shower from Amazon, and be sure to check out more of their pet products on the MIU Pet Website.
Bonus! You can save 20% your next order with code MPTOAMMO

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway are brought to you by Bark Solution. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love.
As a dog, the only real way I have to express myself is by barking. Sometimes I bark because I want something, sometimes I bark to protect my friends and family, and sometimes I bark just because I feel like it. (This is my barking face BTW, incase you were wondering).
So I thought it would be fun to share with you a compilation video my mom made over the past few months of me barking at things. Mom says sometimes my barking is cute, and sometimes she wishes I’d put a cork in it, but I’ll let you be the judge if it’s really that obnoxious…
So for those times that my barking gets a bit out of hand, mom has been using the humane anti-barking solution, Bark Solution (it’s that noisy little can you hear my mom shaking near the end of the video).
You might remember I shared a bit more about them last month, and those of you that have tested it on your dogs thus far have given it rave reviews!
So if you’re looking for a way to humanely cut down on the amount of barking your dog does (without having to use harsh products or spending your day yelling at your dog), then you might want to check out Bark Solution. You can also purchase this product on Amazon.
Now for the best part….

You guys had so much fun seeing me “caught on camera” last month that I’m back with another installment! You may remember that the Vimtag Wireless Video Monitor System showed up at my house a month or so ago. Well, ever since it’s arrival I’ve found myself getting into a little more trouble than usual.
Since the Vimtag camera lets my parents check up on me 24/7 via their smartphones I pretty much can’t get away with anything anymore. And I was really hoping they wouldn’t find out about a few things…
Until the Vimtag camera came along mom and dad had no idea that I like to get a little “frisky” with a certain someone’s pillow when they are gone. (sorry dad, I thought you’d never see this!).
I mean, do you really blame me, magazines are way more fun to play with than dog toys!
It’s really hard to deny these little indiscretions when mom had physical proof in the form of timestamped pictures from Vimtag….

You might recall that this funny looking device, the Vimtag Wireless Video Monitor System, showed up at my house a month or so ago. Well, ever since it’s arrival I’ve found myself getting into a little more trouble than usual.
You see, this camera allows my mom to check up on me from her smart phone any time she wants, and lets just say that there were a few things I was hoping she wouldn’t find out about….
I tried to deny my involvement in both of these incidents, but darn it, if that Vimtag camera didn’t totally rat me out…
…time stamped and all!
