It’s Monday, so I thought what better way to beat the Monday blues than to have a little photoshoot of adorable cuteness.
The hope is that my stunning good looks just brighten up your day.
And my eyes, can you see that twinkle of sunshine in my eyes? That’s just for you.
So snap out of your Monday funk, spin around in your office chair & let my little Dachshund smile make your day that much better! xoxo, 
Right before Christmas my mom entered a giveaway on the Pawsh blog for a spiffy pet painting made by the fine folks at Crazy Rebels. And as luck would have it, she won! The even better part was that the painting was going to be of me!
So I helped mom look through lots of my photos, and we picked out this silly photo from a few years ago of me in my super hero cape. I thought it would look fun turned into a cartoon style painting.
The I headed over to Design Seeds and picked out the blue background color seen in the photo below.
And a few weeks later this fun painting arrived at my doorstep.
Silly and fun, just like me!

When my friends over at Chewy.com, formally known as Mr. Chewy (they dropped the formality because we’re all friends here), contacted me about the new SafetyGlo products they are carrying on their site – I just knew I had to take them for a whirl.
The SafetyGlo products are the only ones on the market that are solar and usb chargeable. They emit a glowing light that is visible from over 500 yards away.
Perfect for keeping your pet safe on late night walks, visible at night in the back yard, and if you’re like me….on the family farm.
But before I could take the SafetyGlo harness for a spin, I had to charge it up! The easily detachable charging unit comes with a small USB cable that can be plugged into your computer for charging. Alternatively you can leave it to charge out in the sun – or simply place it on your dog while they are outside during the day and let the sun do it’s magic.
Once charged, the SafetyGlo unit easily snaps & velcros to the back of the harness.
There is also a handy on and off switch on the charger – so during the day you can switch it off.
And at night you can let it Glo!
Of course the true test is always the farm dog test….so I harnessed up and prepared to romp around the farm in my new SafetyGlo Harness.
Farmdog approved!
I’m wearing the medium SafetyGlo Harness, which fits me snuggly like a glove – it seems the sizes might run a little small, so when ordering maybe order a size up if you are unsure.
You can fetch your own SafteyGlo Products from $5.99 – $24.99 at Chewy.com!

A couple of weeks ago mom ordered me a new dog crate made by EliteField
Honestly, I wasn’t super thrilled about this purchase because I’m not really a “crate” type of dog.
I especially hate being zipped inside, but sadly mom has decided that I need to learn to be in a crate now – even though I’ve survived for 3 years just fine without one. During my agility classes I’m required to go inside my crate while the other dogs get a turn on the course – this is like pure torture. But on the plus side because mom is training me to like the crate more I get lots and lots of treats for being quiet when I’m inside.
My new crate came from Amazon
The very best part about my new crate though – it folds completely flat! Mom likes it because it’s easy to take places, I like it because when it’s flat it means I don’t have to go inside it!
Now if I could just figure out where to hide it so mom can’t find it……

Being a small dog I’m always on the lookout for cool harnesses that work well with my short legs. Also I’m a bit picky and don’t like having straps between my front legs – which somewhat limits my harness finds.
Recently I stumbled upon The Cool Puppy on Etsy, which carries a line of dog collars and leather harnesses for dogs that gives us doggies freedom of movement!
They are made of 100% leather and boast being both comfortable and durable for your dog.

Since my mom and minnow up and left me here alone all week while they are living it up on Chincoteague Island, I decided to have my own fun on this fine Friday. And what’s more fun than FREE STUFF?
So I decided to GIVEAWAY one of my very own pieces of scratch art! I made it with my very own paws! This particular piece is called White Dachshund No. 11 and I created it by scratching onto a specially prepared surface that my mom helped me make. It’s on a mauve acid free matboard background – matted in blue to fit an 11×14 frame. Trust me, this thing is a beauty in person! It comes signed by me and includes a certificate of authenticity – so you know it’s not a fake!
Below is all the details you’ll need in order to win this super awesome prize!
