I’m celebrating my 6th Birthday all week long! Join me in the fun and make sure you check back everyday for lots of fun and surprises! 
Every year I put on my best holiday gear and get ready for the Downingtown Christmas Parade in town.
This year was no exception!
Being that I have a 9-5 job working as official shop greeter at mom’s shop in town, parade time I have to work extra hard to invite parade goers into the shop for free hot cider & cookies!
Luckily I’m pretty cute, so my job usually isn’t that hard. *wink*
After working hard at the shop all morning I was excited to hear that the parade was about to start. I made sure I got a front row seat for all the action!
The parade was just as fabulous as always, but the most exciting part is always SANTA!
And MRS. CLAUS too!
Hey Santa! I hope you got my Christmas List! See you again in a few days!
DIY and Cookies, what’s more to love? Today I have a very special holiday diy to share with you, it’s simple, it’s easy, and it involves cookies!
DIY Holiday Dog Cookie Jar
Supplies:
Step 1: Lay out your painters tape on a cuttable surface (self-healing mats work great) and trace around your dog bone shaped cookie cutter (or any stencil you would like to use).
Step 2: Cut the shape out with an exacto knife.
Step 3: Position your cut-out shape on the mason jar where-ever you would like it.
Step 4: Spray paint the jar in any color you would like.
Step 5: When the jar is dry remove the painters tape and fill with your favorite cookies!
I filled my jar with some peanut butter cookies from the Three Dog Bakery, but if you are looking for some recipes you might want to check out this E-book from Pretty Fluffy.
My new DIY Holiday Dog Cookie Jar would make the perfect gift this holiday to give to my best friend Trooper, however my tummy might have the final ruling on this one. I’m sure Trooper won’t mind if I eat just a few!
Last week mom and dad took me to Waterloo Gardens to see Santa. I was so excited because I couldn’t wait to tell him all of the lovely gifts I wanted him to pack on his sleigh for me.
Mom and dad snapped lots of photos of me, and I made sure to pack my reindeer antlers….just in case Santa was in need of one more reindeer for his sleigh!
Sadly Santa saw right though my cardboard antlers, but he made me feel much better with a great big Christmas hug! Best day ever!
Little did I know, later in the week I’d get to see Santa again, this time at the Animal Clinic at Thorndale. This trip to Santa gave me a chance to donate money to the fund for Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief. Yay for helping the animals!
I’ll have to wait a bit longer to see the professional photos from Clocks for Seeing Photography, but mom and dad were able to snap this shot of me on Santa’s lap.
Yes, I’ll admit – I was a bit frightened. But when Santa sets up shop in your vet’s office…..you can’t help but worry that his Christmas gift to you is bound to be a round of shots. Luckily he had mercy on me this year. Thanks Santa.
Now I only have 12 more days until I get to see Santa again – when he slides down my chimney on Christmas Eve! Yippee!
Starting today I’m going to be celebrating the 12 Days of Cheer! What is the 12 Days of Cheer you ask? Why only the most awesome, spectacular, fantastic celebration of all things Holiday on the internet!
For 12 days (monday through friday) I’ll be bringing you awesome holiday DIY’s, cheerful Christmas photos, holiday freebies, dog friendly gifts and so much more. It’s going to be so much fun!
I hope you’ll join me in celebrating the 12 Days of Cheer, because it wouldn’t be as much fun without you!
Today is my Birthday! Hooray!
In the past four years I have been on so many adventures! From riding in airplanes, paddleboarding, performing with the Painting Ponies, painting pictures, and just lounging around the house – each day has been an amazing ride.
I’m looking forward to many more years of adventures – and I can’t wait to share them with all of you!
There are still so many things I have yet to do and see, and a World that is just begging to be sniffed by me!
So excuse me if I spend today shouting Hooray! a whole bunch of times, I’m just uber excited to be turning four – and I can’t wait to tear into my presents tonight.
Three cheers for me!
Now here’s to hoping I can stay awake for my party – being an adventurer is super exhausting!
Birthdays call for celebration, and what better way to celebrate than a spiffy new bandana to let everyone know it’s your Birthday!
And because I want everyone to celebrate with me, here’s a tutorial I created to help you make your own pet a celebratory bandana.
DIY Pet Birthday Bandana
Materials:
(or acrylic paint mixed with Textile Medium
)*some links contain affiliate links
Step 1: Using a ruler and cutting utensil, cut a bandana sized piece of fabric out of your material. We used a bandana I already had as a template, but you can also measure your pet’s neck and add about 4″ to be able to tie it. You might also opt to sew the edges of your bandana to prevent fraying before moving on to step 2.
Step 2: You will need your HOORAY! stamp for this part (my mom carved mine, find out how to carve a stamp here or find out how to purchase one here). Use your sponge brush to apply screen printing ink or acrylic paint mixed with Textile Medium
Step 3: Stamp your fabric in several places, re-applying paint after each one. Then allow to dry.
Adding another color can add to the overall effect.
And when you are all finished you will have a spiffy new bandana that’s perfect for celebrating my Birthday with me.
Happy Birthday to me! Only 3 more days until I’m officially 4 and get to open all my presents!
My HOORAY! stamp was inspired by a post on Squirrelly Minds.
Yippee! I had a pretty fun Birthday yesterday!
My day started off pretty regular, but then my bestest pal Trooper came to spend the day with me at the shop.
We pretty much did the normal stuff….
…you know, taking turns wearing the party hat and trying to eat each other…..
….I swear I won the match! And not just because it was my Birthday!
After work I headed out to the farm where Minnow and all my pony friends sang Happy Birthday to me! I won’t lie, I made them sing it twice just for kicks.
Then back at home I FINALLY got to open my Birthday gifts from mom and dad.
Mom baked me some very special Birthday Bones and I got some new toys to play with too!
Just in case you are wondering, no I’m not going to share.
P.S. Thanks to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday on my Facebook Page! I feel so loved! And don’t worry, Birthday week isn’t over yet – I still have a whole bunch more fun in store!
Woohoo! It’s totally Birthday Week!
To kick things off, what’s a Birthday celebration without a party? Here’s a round-up of some furry friends partying it up. I bet they knew it was my Birthday Week!
Although, you have to admit – I am by far the cutest dog of this bunch in party attire. Sorry but it’s true!

Welcome to Birthday Week! On October 5th I turn 3 years old, and since I think Birthdays are super amazing (especially mine), we’re going to celebrate ALL-WEEK-LONG!
I’m really just hoping that means I get presents and treats all week long too, but regardless I think it will be a really fun bash! I’ve even got some fun prizes for my “guests” (that’s you btw) and some super cool DIY stuff to share! So make sure you check in everyday (and sometimes twice a day), because this is gonna totally be a blast in a glass bowl.
So stick around for the fun, and make sure you check back later today when we really get the bash going!
