You might remember that I wrote a post last fall about the wonderful product that is the Sleepypod Yummy Bowl. Well I’m back to share it with you again….plus a giveaway you won’t want to miss!
Now see, me and my bestest pal Trooper are always on the go. And now that summer is just around the corner, and things are starting to heat up, we need to make sure we always have a cool drink of water with us no matter where we are. (not to mention a bowl full of kibble too!)
Enter the Sleepypod Yummy Bowl!
With two sizes (small and medium), these bowls are the perfect accessory for every road trip, weekend getaway, camping trip, vacation, and more!
I’ve been using my small Sea Breeze Yummy Bowl for quite some time now, and I can tell you that it’s the first thing I grab when I’m headed out the door for an adventure. Thanks to Sleepypod my pal Trooper now has a medium Yummy Bowl in Blueberry for all of his adventures as well.
Now the Yummy Bowls aren’t just for looks, they are also quite functional in that they can carry your pet’s food and water at the same time! The unique spill resistant bottom bowl makes sure water stays in the bowl and not on the floor.
These Yummy bowls also come in 4 delicious colors, Very Berry, Mango Tango, Key Lime, Blueberry (on the right), and the Sea Breeze (on the left).
In my previous post I had even tested out the Yummy Bowl’s ability to be frozen with water inside. This is great for keeping your water nice and cold on a hot summer day, or even on an extra long road trip.
So if you’re looking for the perfect travel bowl, I highly recommend the Sleepypod Yummy Bowl, you won’t be disappointed.
You can fetch your own Yummy Bowl in small for $29.99 or medium for $39.99.
And now for the best part…

It’s always hard to get back to the grind after a long holiday weekend. When I get a few extra days off work I tend to try and pack in as much stuff as I can…..sometimes too much! Check out the fun adventures I had over the long weekend…
I kicked things off on Friday by celebrating my Dad’s Birthday! Of course I always volunteer by helping to open presents.
Then on Saturday I headed to the farm to celebrate my best friend Trooper’s 7th Birthday! Horray! I got to spend all evening with Trooper (and open his presents too) while my mom and dad headed to the wedding for my Aunt & Uncle!
Sunday I was up bright and early to spend some time with my ponies!
Then I hit the trail with my pal Shilah while my dad and Shilah’s dad played Disc Golf.
Shilah and I burned lots of calories hiking the course on this hot day!
And I may have snuck in a nap or two along the way.
Then on Memorial Day I was on the move again as I took a trip to the Devon Horse Show.
I had fun making new friends, and watching all the ponies compete! I’ll be back later to share some more details about my fun trip to Devon.
Later that day I made it back to the farm to enjoy a Barbecue with all my favorite people.
Trooper and Cricket included!
As you can imagine by the end of my long weekend I looked like this, and could barely move a muscle!
But, you know what they say, a tired dog is a happy dog! What did you do over the long weekend?
Pottery Barn is known for it’s home decor items, but did you also know they carry some stylish items for pets too? I recently checked out some of the new items available, and let me tell you, they are drool worthy for sure!
I’ll take one of each, please and thank you! You can fetch these items and more at Pottery Barn.
Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post and I do not own any of these items, but wanted to share my latest finds with you!
Adventures on the lake are quickly becoming my favorite thing to do in the summer. And at the Marsh Creek Boat Rental, where dogs are always welcome, there is a whole slew of fun to be had out on the water!
I started out my adventure by renting a paddleboard with mom. There’s nothing quite like gliding through the water on one of those!
This time I brought along my pal Shilah, for her very first boat ride in a motorized rowboat rental.
Dad also rented a kayak which I happily took a few laps around the lake in.
Since this was Shilah’s first trip to the lake I decided to let her test out the paddle board, which is one of my favorite rental choices.
Shilah had also never been swimming before, so I gave her a little coaching from the sidelines.
Eventually though I hopped aboard to show her how to man her lake vessel with style. She’s only one, so she has lots of learning to do still!
Shilah almost got to assist in her first water rescue when Dad accidentally tipped his kayak, but luckily things didn’t get too crazy.
Later I showed off my natural swimming skills, and it was enough to convince my pal to take her first dip too! You can see her showing off at the end of this video:
Being on the lake with my friends was so enjoyable I just didn’t want it to end!
So when we landed back on shore I decided to practice some of my swimming skills.
I’ve gotten quite good at playing fetch in the water, mom even picked up this new floating buoy toy for me from West Elm (which mom bought before it sold out).
Sigh, I’m so sad that summer is coming to an end, but hopefully I’ll get to squeeze in a few more lake trips before it ends!
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.
Over the weekend my mom and dad went to a very special event (which I was not invited to – the nerve) called the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater. It sounded like so much fun that I thought I would share their adventure with everyone, even if I didn’t get to see it with my own eyes either.
The World Famous Popovich Comedy Pet Theater is a family-oriented blend of the unique comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich, and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets. Each of the show’s 15 cats and 10 dogs were once strays, rescued from animal shelters. Now they love to show off onstage – by performing a variety of stunts and skits!
The event that my mom and dad attended also helped to raise money for the local SPCA by donating a dollar from every ticket to the shelter.
This amazing event featured lots of dogs and cats performing fun and exciting stunts, and they even had a whole act just with dachshunds!
I’m sad to have missed it myself, but glad that mom and dad were able to go and support the rescue animals. Mom even said it gave her some ideas to add to my own stunt dog act which I will be performing at the end of April to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. You can read more about that HERE.
If you’d like to see if the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater will be in your area you can check out their tour dates HERE.
