Every once in a while you get that itch. That itch to play and dart, and RUN!
And then just like that you’re off like a rocket. Faster than a speeding bullet you run, thinking maybe you’ll never come back.
But then mom digs around in her pocket and finds a leftover goldfish. Darn those gold fishes, they’re just so delicious.
And just like that you find yourself screaming…… “I’m coming mom, I’m coming…..don’t eat it…..I’m coming!”
Darn those gold fishes, they’re just so delicious.

Cheering because we’re ringing in the New Year! It’s now 2013!
I had a great 2012, but I’m really looking forward to kicking off 2013 with a bang!

One of the gifts that my mom got this year for Christmas was a subscription to Modern Dog Magazine (a lifestyle magazine for modern dogs and their companions) – it was love at first sight for me. Mom and I quickly poured through the pages and came across some really neat products that we couldn’t wait to share with you!
One of those products was from Easy 123 Art, a website designed to help you create your own paint-by-number kits out of your very own photos. How cool is that!
The website boasts that it’s simple to use kit allows you to upload your own photo, customize it, then get to painting!
These would make great gifts, or even allow you to create a custom painting of your own favorite furry friend!
You can fetch your own paint-by-number kit at Easy 123 Art starting at $49
I loves me some rope toys! So when I stumbled across this rope dog toy collection from Jax and Bones I found myself adding each and every one to my wish list. Especially the pony, I love ponies.
From the Jax and Bones Website:
These toys were voted Best Pet Toy by Pet Product News in 2008 as one of the best toys for puppies and dogs! Further, a portion of each sale is donated to www.therescuetrain.org, a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to saving animal lives.
And a fun tip from their website – you can dip the limbs of your rope toy in water and then freeze it, especially great for teething puppies!

As winter approaches on the farm, things can get a little desolate. The birds flew south for the winter and all my furry little farm friends are hibernating.
Some days I wander around aimlessly just hoping to find a squirrel to chase, or sit longingly at one of my groundhog holes.
And then some days lady luck shines down on me and I find a dried up worm along my travels.
We play the epic battle of eternal debate as I contemplate whether or not to bury it.
Most times my impatient self wins out and I do what any cute little dachshund that longs for summer and furry animals to chase would do…
…I roll on top of that stinky little worm until I too smell like stink.
It’s not as good as chasing squirrels, barking at birds, or hunting groundhogs – but at least it’s something!
Sigh. Please come back furry friends, I promise I’ll give you a head start in our never ending game of chase.
Woo hoo! It’s Holiday Shopping time! I love scouring for those unique gifts this time of year, and you can bet I was super excited when I found Le Animale on Etsy.
Le Animale has the perfect gift this Holiday season for your mom or dad – custom made pet totems. Commission a sculpture to look just like your furry little self so that your mom and dad can always have you with them! But if you want one for Christmas you better hurry, because the deadline for custom orders is November 27th.
I’m thinking my mom would totally love one of these this Christmas, modeled after cute little me of course!
You can fetch your own custom pet totem at Le Animale for $55.
I’m probably pretty accurate when I say most people (and dogs with a busy schedule like me) check a calendar every day of their lives. How else are you going to remember vet appointments play dates, personal appearances, and trips to the pet store?
Well since your calendar is probably your most looked at item, it only makes sense that it should be full of pet swagger! Even though 2012 isn’t here JUST yet, I’ve gathered up some super cool pet-themed calendars from Paper Source.
You can fetch your own 2012 Calendars here.
P.S. If I can get my act together I’m hoping to have my very own “Ammo the Dachshund” Calendar available this Christmas! I’ll be sure to share more details when it’s ready!
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE having my picture taken. Dressing up like someone you aren’t, making silly faces, and simply having a good time! So when I stumbled across the photography of Adam Voorhes (via)- I knew – someday I must meet this guy so he can take my picture!
He somehow manages to make pooches, bears, and even chickens look dignified and fancy – and we all know how scrappy those chickens can be! hehe.
Anyway, here are a few of my favorite shots – you can check out more of his work on his website.
Had to throw the meat shot in there, do you blame me?
