So what’s on your pup’s Christmas Wish List this year? 
I’m so excited to share with you my latest project for my online shop, Flying Hero!
Due to your feedback, I’ve created my brand new 2016 Calendar in a new size and all new images!
Even though in today’s World everyone has calendars and organizers on their phones, it’s still nice to have a happy little calendar to hang on your wall.
And there’s nothing happier than looking at my face every single day!
My 2016 Calendar measures 6″ w x 12″ h and comes punched with a hole for easy hanging on your wall or cork board. (each photo of the calendar measures 6″ x 6″).
The very best part though? I will be DONATING $5 from every sale to the Chester County SPCA. Yay for helping animal rescues!
Each month features a different photograph of me and all photos are printed professionally on archival quality paper. At the end of the year/month the photos would be great for framing and hanging on your wall. (you know if you can’t get enough of me!)
Currently I’m taking pre-orders, and they will begin shipping just after Thanksgiving – with plenty of time for Holiday Gifts!
You can snag one of my 2016 Calendars from my online shop, but hurry, there are limited quantities of these and once they sell out I won’t have any more!
Before we get to the recap of all the exciting adventures I’ve been on in December, I wanted to give a shoutout to my special sponsors! Thanks to them I’m able to bring you exciting posts, so make sure you give them some love and check out what great products they carry!

In keeping up with my yearly tradition I’ve decided to take a look back over the goals I made for myself last year to see how I did! I’ve also come up with a new list of goals for 2014 that will hopefully keep me on my toes!
My 2013 Goals:
1. Create some more greeting card designs for my Flying Hero Etsy Shop
Not only did I come up with a fun new Holiday card this year, but I just finished designing a whole bunch of new cards that will be available in my shop this week! Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to share my new designs with everyone just as soon as they are ready!
2. Master the weave poles for my agility classes
I’m proud to say that I officially mastered the weave poles this past year! Yay! I even worked up to weaving 12 poles at a time.
3. Compete in an agility trial
Technically I didn’t compete in an agility trial this past year, but I did get to run a new course in a new location during the Fair Hill International Event in Maryland.
4. Learn a performance that I can perform on my own at events
I practiced and practiced and performed my very own trick skit during the Spring Doxie Fest last year in support of the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue! It was a lot of fun and I think everyone enjoyed it!
5. Make every day count!
Looking back over everything I’ve done this past year I think I have this goal down! From trips to the beach, road tripping, paddleboarding, and enjoyable days on the farm – I packed in as much as I could this past year and it was such a blast!
2014 Goals:
So what about you? What are your goals for 2014?
Don’t forget to start 2014 off right, check out my Calendar available for purchase HERE! Hurry, because I only have a few copies left!
P.S. I promise to have a full recap on my wonderful Christmas for you later this week!
Recently I helped mom come up with a button design for my etsy shop, because everyone loves a good button! You can put them everywhere – on your book bag, on your shirt, on your friends shirt, on anything you want!
Blindingly bright yellow and featuring my logo and favorite saying, “Adventure Awaits”, these buttons are now available in my etsy shop! And for the time being I’ll also be sending them out in every purchase from my shop too! It’s my little gift to you!
So buy a calendar, buy a card – I’ll send along a happy button to make you smile!
Some of you may have noticed already, but I’ve been keeping a little secret for the past couple of months, I’ve decided to open up my very own Etsy Shop, Flying Hero!
Aptly named after me, your friendly neighborhood flying hero, my etsy shop will be selling cute photographic prints, cards and even calendars (coming soon) with my mug on them!
My mom and I have been creating, making, and selling greeting cards in our retail shop for years now – but we decided it was high time we make them available to everyone.
So if you are looking for a way to bring laughter, smiles, and little dose of cuteness to those that you love, make sure you check out Flying Hero. In the coming months we hope to have more items available for purchase.
And not to worry, I’ll still be working my painting magic with the amazing Painting Ponies. So if you are interested in original artwork by yours truly, be sure to stop by the Painting Pony Etsy Shop.
Now because it’s Friday, and because I’m super excited to share with you the launch of my new shop, I wanted to give you an even bigger reason to smile today. I’ve decided to give away one of my brand-new DREAM BIG prints to one lucky reader.

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!
