Today’s the day! The day we get to eat our fill of the best foods ever.
Mostly turkey, because you all know a dog’s life revolves around meat! Well, ok it’s mainly a day to give thanks for all the blessings we have. Like my family, squeaky toys, ponies, and best friends!
But seriously, when does the turkey get served?
Don’t worry, even if I don’t get my fill of Turkey this year, I’ve still got my awesome Barkbox to keep me happy.
You can snag your pup a Barkbox subscription this month and also get a FREE 3 LEAVES ON A ROPE TOY exclusively from the Barkshop with code AMMO (a $16 value).*

Happy Thanksgiving Friends! What will you be doing to celebrate today?
P.S. I’ll be taking the rest of the week off to enjoy the rest of my vacation with my family in South Carolina! See you when I get back next week!
Disclosure: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Vimtag and does contain affiliate links. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!
Now if you thought my every move was documented on this blog, I’m about to take it to a whole new level thanks to my new friends over at Vimtag!
My new little companion here can connect to your ethernet or wifi network and records HD video of anything you would like.
And I bet you can guess what my mom decided to record with my Vimtag….me! I am the star of this show after all.
So after a simple 4 step setup (mom didn’t even finish reading all the directions before she had it up and running), my Vimtag was ready to record some video.
From the Vimtag online portal mom can monitor what I’m doing in the other room, as well as have access to a whole slew of other features!
But the absolute best part (for your mom and dad at least) is that the Vimtag goes mobile with the FREE Vimtag App! From here your video monitoring is totally on the go, with access to a live view of your pet whenever you’re away from them.
From the app you can even tilt and pan the camera, listen in to exactly what you pet is doing, record picture snap shots and video (for viewing later) and even TALK TO YOUR PET!
You can also set up motion alerts for the camera, so if your pet enters the room (or maybe jumps on the bed if they aren’t supposed to) you can get a notification on your phone. With the addition of a mini sd card you can even set it up to auto-record when the camera detects movement. I guess my days of being sneaky while mom and dad are gone are over!
So a few weeks ago mom and dad set up the Vimtag camera in the bedroom (where I tend to nap a lot) on a night they were headed out of the house without me.
Then my parents headed off to a local football game (can you believe they didn’t take me!), but checked on me several times throughout the night with the Vimtag mobile app. Even though it had gotten dark at home, the camera has night vision so they were still able to see what I was up to crystal clear.
Here’s a fun little playback of some of the video mom and dad saved from that evening…
Being that this is the first time ever mom and dad got to see what I did when they were away from home they noticed that I was on high alert to every little sound. So next time they said they’ll leave a TV on for me so some of the outside noise is drowned out. And when I heard them talk to me through the camera for the first time, boy did I cry! I may be a tough dog, but I always miss my mom and dad when they’re away. (P.S. don’t worry, they were only 5 minutes from home when they decided to test out the voice feature)
My mom and dad thought the Vimtag Wireless Video Monitoring Camera was a great way to give them peace of mind while they were away from me, and with a cost of $99, it’s a great price for adding several to your home – to capture anything you can imagine! (Hopefully they didn’t catch me trying to sneak onto the dining table the other night!) They even work for a whole slew of other things like Nanny Cam, Business Monitoring, Security, Vacation Home Monitoring, and Senior Monitoring.

It wouldn’t be a shocker if I told you that my mom and dad have amassed thousands and thousands of pictures and video of me over the years. Sometimes those pictures and videos make it onto my blog, and sometimes they just sit on the computer – tiny little tidbits of my everyday life to look back on and smile.
I thought it would be fun to share some of those unseen tidbits. A little glimpse into what everyday life is for me, playing with my toys, greeting people at work, hanging out on the farm – even the mundane can make me appreciate how very lucky I am.
So enjoy this fun little compilation video made up of clips from the past week or two…
Do you collect photos and video of your dog that never sees the light of day?

When it comes to treat dispensing toys, I have to say, I’ve pretty much tried them all! Toys you have to roll around, toys you have to chew, and toys that are just too frustrating that you can’t get one single treat out of.
I have some that I loathe and some that I love, and now thanks to my friends at Chewy.com I can add another one to the love pile!
..then simply twist them together creating space for your dog to get the treats out. Twist the sides close together for a more challenging game, and keep it wider apart for an easier game.
I like mine in the middle, not too hard, but not too easy.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some treat dispensing to work on!

Vitamins, pills, supplements, those words alone are enough to strike fear into the hearts of many. Wether you’re a picky dog that can’t stand the taste of them, or an owner that is tired of your pet turning up a nose at the supplements you think will help them feel better, have no fear! I’ve found a product that not only is beneficial to your pet, but great tasting too!
NuVet Labs® has made it their mission help heal pets when they’re sick and then keep them healthy for years to come with their vitamins and supplements.
Their products are made in a FDA registered laboratory with natural, human-grade ingredients specially compounded to deliver the most effective nutritional health benefits. Utilizing the latest advances in medical and nutritional science, they apply state of the art manufacturing technologies to help maintain a standard of product quality and integrity that is virtually unheard of in the pet industry.
This time around I decided to test out NuJoint DS.
As you may recall, my best pal Trooper suffers from arthritis in his joints. While he’s never one to complain too much, a glucosamine joint supplement such as NuJoint DS can be great for his joint pain.
NuJoint DS supports optimal joint health and mobility, helping to keep your pet pain free for a longer, happier life.
Now the best part about the vitamins and supplements from NuVet is that you won’t need to hide these pills in peanut butter, stuff them inside cream cheese, or disguise them in your dog’s dinner, because these are the best tasting vitamins Trooper and I have ever had.
While this time around I let my buddy Trooper do all the actual taste testing (since I myself do not currently have arthritis), you can see by my desperate attempts to open the bottle that I was a bit jealous that he got to do the tasting.
In fact, they were so yummy (because they are flavored with real chicken liver) that Trooper used them as treats!
NuJoint DS has increased amounts of the active ingredients MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), Glucosamine, and Chondroitin. It also includes Vitamin C which is required for the synthesis of collagen (a component of joint cartilage), and it can also reduce free radical damage to cartilage.
So if you’ve got a pet that could benefit from a joint supplement, or even a nutritional supplement then you might want to check out what NuVet has to offer!
TWO WINNERS WILL A BOTTLE OF NUVET PLUS & NUJOINT DS!

Last week a box filled with packing materials made its way into the shop.
Since I’m never one to pass up the opportunity to play in a box (don’t knock it until you try it!), I wasted no time in jumping right in.
Then I had a thought! Hey mom, since I’m already all packed up you might as well ship me to the nearest pet store. I’ll make sure to tell them to ship me back before dinner!
When the new FURminator Comfort Edge DeShedding Tool arrived at my door a few weeks ago, I knew just who would be getting a major grooming, my buddy Trooper!
I have to admit, I’m a wee bit jealous of all of Trooper’s glorious hair (he claims he gets his good hair from his mom, the Australian Shepherd). I on the other hand am plagued with Dachshund pattern baldness (it’s a real thing, look it up!), and have to wear coats and sweaters all winter long to keep warm on the farm.
Thanks to our new FURminator mom collected enough Trooper hair to make me a sweater from it! Now who’s good with a loom?

So it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the reveal of my 2015 Halloween costume! All you Guardians of the Galaxy fans are going to love me as…..
Incase you didn’t catch the movie yet, don’t worry, I won’t give away any spoilers here.
Just know this…..
…with me on duty the Galaxy just got a whole lot safer! Pew! Pew!
Thanks to my mom and her handy glue gun I bet you would never have known that I’m not the real Rocket Raccoon from the Guardians of the Galaxy. I probably had you fooled didn’t I?
Probably a bit more convincing when my best pal Groot shows up to the party though!
Now if you’ll excuse me, me and my pals Star-Lord, Gamora, and Groot need to break out of jail so we can go defend the galaxy.
