Did you hear? Today is Valentine’s Day! And on this special day I wanted to share my heart with you!
Of course it’s much cooler if I wear my shades while doing so!
But seriously, I just wanted to send a little love to all my fans out there! Getting to make you smile everyday is what I enjoy the most and it makes my heart happy that you stop by my blog every day.
So, will you be my Valentine? 
If you’ve been following along with my adventures for a while, then you may recall I have a special trick box that I use for performances.
It’s served me well as I’ve performed at many venues over the years, but it was time for a little change.
You might also remember that I asked all of you to weigh in how I should use my new decals on my trick box (and maybe even my helmet). Well a long 6 months later I FINALLY got around to giving my trick box a little updating!
Mom helped me scrape off my old decal, add a fresh coat of paint, and reapply my decal from Nipomo Imprints for a brand-new look!
I think it turned out pretty spiffy!
It’s the perfect box for super hero crime fighting and save the world type adventures, and I can’t wait to bring it along on my next performance!
Next though, I think my helmet might be begging for a fresh coat of paint! Super heroes can’t wear dinged up helmets of course!
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I thought it would be fun to round-up some special V-day goodies (for dogs and people too)! Check out what I’m currently digging below…
1. Gourmet Peanut Butter Dog Treats from Two Tails Dog Bakery ($5.50)
2. Dog Toy Valentine Squeaker from Cherry Willow ($6.00)
3. 10 Pack of Dog Valentines from Embellish by Jackie ($10.00)
4. Red Leather Dog Collar with hearts from Hi Horse Ranch ($39)
5. Dog Heart Pin Brooch from Artsy Clay ($6.00)

Lately I’ve been loving things with pops of bright color, and when it comes to dog accessories I love it on them even more!

Just before the end of the year my mom helped me put together a bunch of new greeting cards featuring photographs that she’s taken of me over the past few months.
Well now that they have come back from the printers, I’ve added them to my online etsy shop, Flying Hero!

With Christmas just around the corner Mom and I decided to add a little bling to our tree! (inspired by this tutorial) This super easy DIY is also great to use as gifts for all your doggie friends! So easy your could make these this weekend as gift toppers for all your gifts!
Materials:
Optional Supplies:
Step 1: Lay out a sheet of wax paper and using your rolling pin flatten out a piece of model magic that is large enough to fit your cookie cutter. Keeping it about 1/2″ to 1″ thick.
Step 2: Press your cookie cutter into the model magic.
Step 3: Tear away the excess and poke your bamboo skewer into the spot where you want the string for hanging to be.
Step 4: (optional) You can stamp a name or word into your ornament using the rubber stamps if you choose. It’s a great way to personalize them for all your friends! (no ink required as you will be painting them later)
Step 5: Allow the model magic ornaments to dry for several days so that they harden. (they will harden faster if you set them near a heat source (not on it!) and remove them from the wax paper)
Step 6: Once your ornaments have hardened you can add a few coats of gold spray paint (or really any color you like). Optional – add some glitter by sprinkling it on while your paint is still wet.
Then just add some twine and your ornaments are ready to hang on your tree or gift to a friend!
Only thing that would make these better is if they were actually edible (which sadly they are not), paws crossed for edible dog bone ornaments for next year!
Part of the joy of the holidays is picking out gifts for the important people (and dogs) in your life. Which is why I’ve rounded up these fun gift guides, not to mention I just love to shop!
Happy Holiday Shopping!
P.S. Our friends over at Barkbox are offering a $10 off discount on all new Barkbox subscriptions until January 3rd!
If you’re like me, then you daydream about being the king of the world (i.e. the president), or sometimes even an actual King. Well what if I told you that you’re pet could actually be these things…..well sorta. Artist Patricia Carlin created a series of prints for Uncommon Goods in which you can have your own pet turned into the president, or a king/queen, a boat captain or even a biker. How cool is that!
You can fetch your own print for $75 – $135, and if you order it unframed I know a certain little frame shop that has a friendly dachshund that will frame it for you! *wink*
