There is just something about handmade pottery that is oh-so-fun. And when you pair that with pet friendly designs…..I am in love. Bauer Pottery hand makes their wares in California and their bright and sunny colors make me wish it was summer already!
You can fetch these fun designs and more from Bauer Pottery. 
Disclosure: this is not a sponsored post, but I do own two of the small sized dog bowls because I love them oh-so-much.
I like to think that I’m a pretty stylish dog. I love to shop, and over the years I’ve tested and tried some of the best dog products on the market. I like to think that you (my readers) agree, because one of the common questions I get in e-mails, blog comments, and social media is where did I get a particular product I am seen wearing.
So I decided to create a whole new page on my blog dedicated to all the gear that I own, have tested, and absolutely love!
So I invite you to check out my new Gear page, where I’ve compiled a list of all the gear I own and where you can grab it for your own dog too. From pet food, to winter wear, and even the photography gear my mom uses to take the photos for my blog!
So head on over and check it out, and if you’re wondering about something on the list, just shoot me an e-mail at info@ammothedachshund.com! With such an extensive list, it’s entirely possible I forgot to list something!
Happy Shopping!
P.S. If you have any special pet gear that you love too be sure to post it in the comments below, I love to hear what other pets and pet lovers are digging!
Woohoo! Snow!
Yeah, that may not be the typical reaction that all northerners like me have when the sky dumps a big old pile of snow in your backyard. Especially when it’s almost March and the feeling that Spring can’t come soon enough is an epidemic.
But you know what, I really do love the snow.
The dashing part is especially fun! I like to pretend I’m being chased by a pack of wild wolves, only I’m so much faster than them that there is no way they can ever catch me. Hopefully I’ll never actually have to live in that moment, but just in case I’ll keep practicing.
And for those pups out there that don’t like to “blaze their own trail” in the snow, I’ve got news for you, you better start practicing, because you never know when those wolves are going to come out of nowhere!
I’m actually such an expert at blazing trails in the snow that you can hardly tell when I need to take a break to make some yellow snow.
Those wolves will never see it coming when they slip in my icy patch of yellow snow!
Always one step ahead. *wink*
Disclosure: This post and giveaway are brought to you by Fuji and Friends.
Fuji and Friends are the makers behind vintage styled apparel for the whole family (with a canine twist).
And when I hear the word canine, I can’t help but be involved! After all, I am a canine.
The vintage styled T-shirts from Fuji and Friends are the kind of shirt you just love to wear. Extra soft, with that worn-in feel. Well, or so I’m told (on account of I go naked most of the time).
But the absolute best part is all the fun (vintage style) designs they carry…..all of which feature dogs!
Because really, if you’re going to have your humans wear a t-shirt, it might as well have a dog on it! Of course I picked out this fabulous Spirit of Adventure shirt in brown heather for my mom, as I love to live everyday of my dog life as if it were the greatest adventure of them all.
The Fuji and Friends shirts come tag-less (the greatest, most important feature according to my mom) and are made of 50% cotton and 50% polyester.
I must admit, their spirit of adventure t-shirt made both me and my mom want to go on our next big adventure ASAP. I’m thinking dog friendly road trip!
I only have one regret with this new t-shirt though…
….it doesn’t come in a doggie size! boo hoo! But perhaps they’ll add to their growing selection of designs – a dog sized one too!
So if you’re looking to update your wardrobe soon, I highly recommend you check out Fuji and Friends! You can even save 20% off your next order with code event20.
And now for the best part….

I stumbled upon the cutest little shop on Etsy the other day, Mann and Moon. This UK based company makes original and handmade accessories for dogs and dog lovers alike. And if I know my mom, she was already pining over the cute little heart hand warmers they carry…..because walking your dog would be so much better if your hands were warm!
You can fetch these fun items and more from Mann + Moon.

So yeah…..there was that one time way back when that I got stuck underneath a shed in the Pocono Mountains.
Full disclosure here though, I MAY have been purposely under there in the pursuit of a rodent. And “stuck” might be a bit of a generous term when you consider the fact that I really didn’t want to come out from under the shed….I mean who else was going to get that rodent out from under there?
Don’t worry though, I eventually got “un-stuck”…..well mostly I just came out because it was time for my dinner!
Read all about my adventures under a shed from 2011 on my blog.
Has your dog ever gotten stuck under something it shouldn’t have?
On Valentine’s Day my mom and dad surprised me and told me that we’d be taking a trip to the lake. I couldn’t wait as it’s one of my favorite spots and I was looking forward to romping in the sand!
Only when we got to the lake and I sat on the edge of the dock and looked out over the water….things looked a little different.
Actually, it looked a lot different.
I felt like I had been duped. I mean where was the warm water, the paddle boards, ….. where was my lake?
But then, mom told me that we were standing on the lake.
I mean holy cow, there was water under there? Frozen water?
And sure enough, with a bit of digging I uncovered my long lost lake. Who would of thought?
Of course being Valentine’s Day and all, mom and dad made me take a family photo. And did you know that almost 8 years ago my mom and dad got engaged on this lake (on a row boat)? Well now you do.
As much as I enjoyed frozen lake, I did sort of wish it was summer, because frozen lake is a bit more “frozen” and I started to get a little cold as the sun set.
Don’t worry though, because I brought along my secret weapon against all things cold….my mom!
Yup, just the right amount of Valentine’s warmth from my mom! But next time, I think I’d much rather visit the lake on a warm, sunny day!
So how did you spend your Valentine’s Day?
What if I told you that by simply taking your dog for a daily walk you could be helping rescue animals? You’d probably say I was crazy right? Well guess what my friend, the future is here!
It’s super simple with an app for iPhone & Android called Walk for a Dog by WoofTrax. All you have to do is download the free app, choose the rescue group you want to walk for, and start the app every time you take your dog for a walk.
Walk for a Dog also keeps track of the distance, speed, and duration your walks are, but the best part is no matter how long or short your walk is – you can still earn money for your rescue group of choice!
Walk for a Dog’s donations to animal organizations are funded by sponsorship, advertising, and investors, and they send donations to active shelters and rescues about twice per year.
I love that no matter whether I’m on my daily walk to work……
….or off on a monstrous hike with my doggie friends, I can still be helping rescue animals at the same time.
So before you head off on your next walk with your dog, make sure you download the Walk for a Dog App!
