It’s no secret that I’m pretty much an expert hunter, especially when it comes to groundhogs.
While I now can spend hours on the farm digging down holes after my furry little friends, did you know that I actually started honing my hunting skills as a young pup on something much much smaller….
Those poor stink bugs never stood a chance.
What sort of things does your dog like to hunt?

Most of you already know that I work a 9-5 just like the rest of the working world at my mom’s frame shop in town. And as the official shop greeter and an expert sales associate I like to dress the part as well. So when my friends over at Noodle and Friends sent me one of their Executive coats I knew it was just the thing to wear during the work day.
It’s made of 100% wool exterior (which I must say is one of the softest coats I own) and is lined with classic black microfleece for extra warmth.
The Executive Dachshund Coat was designed for dachshunds, providing the perfect length to cover our long bodies while also protecting our broad chests and tummies. I love that all the Noodle and Friends coats come with a built in d-ring making it unnecessary to wear a harness underneath – although if you choose to you still can with the built-in harness hole.
This coat is even reversible, the second side is finished with classic black microfleece and accented with a grey wool waist belt. Although I think the grey side is my favorite!
You may have seen me wearing my new Executive coat out and about already, as I’ve been wearing it to work at the shop most days.
It also makes me look extra adorable when I need to beg for a few extra cookies if you know what I mean!
Despite the Executive coat’s extra good looks, it’s also quite hardy too. Snow storms are no problem as it keeps me nice and dry underneath!
You can fetch your own Executive Coat from Noodle and Friends for $65.

Over the weekend I took a little trip to a special nursing home, St. Martha Manor.
I wore my fanciest outfit, which everyone said made me look oh-so-dapper!
I didn’t get many pictures of my visit as I was quite busy visiting some special people! But I’m pretty sure everyone had a great time, myself included!
And next time I’m going to have to bring a booster seat, because I missed out on quite a bit of fun once bingo started!

A couple months ago I received a package in the mail from the monthly subscription service Bugsy’s Box to test out.
Like most subscription services you can choose a box for the size dog you have and each month Bugsy’s Box will mail you a package of goodies to your doorstep.
Each monthly box is filled with 5 to 7 items which are a variety of high quality, hand picked, well reviewed dog treats, toys, care items, healthy supplements, accessories and more surprises such as coupons which are often included as a bonus.
Mine was packed with 7 delightful goodies, lets take a look at what I got….
Barkworthies BullyStick – Dynamo Dog Treats – Puppy Puck Toy – Merrick Cowboy Cookout
VetraCare Liquid Bandage – VetraCare Ear Wipes – Healthy Dogma Treats – Pupato Chips
Mom thought it was neat that the box came with some veterinary care items, as it’s always nice to have things like that on hand just incase of an emergency. (Paws crossed we never actually need to use it though). Some of the products I had come across before, while others were new to me, but all of them seemed to be healthy and appropriate items for me. All of the items are also made in the USA or Canada.
Of course I wasted no time in digging into a few of my favorites! Yum!
And now for the best part….

Wouldn’t it be cool to have your own personal island? Well now your pet can, sort of. See Scout Sleep has created pet islands. They are meant to be used on your beloved chair or sofa to help protect your little buddy’s favorite spot. They may also be used on the floor. Great for small dogs and cats, I’m pretty sure my mom and dad would appreciate me napping on one of these instead of the white sofa!
You can fetch your own Pet Island from See Scout Sleep for about $75.
I’ve always been quite good at entertaining myself, even when I was a young pup I found many ways to amuse myself while working long hours at the shop with mom.
And when you don’t have a toy on hand, there’s always a built in one on your own back end!
I was about 6 months old in this video, and to this day I still like chasing my tail sometimes!
Does your dog chase his tail?
Over the weekend I visited my ponies on the farm. It was muddy and wet and oh so much fun!
I even had a little fun digging for critters!
What kind of fun did you have this weekend?
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!
You can check out these designs and more by visiting my Etsy Shop, Flying Hero. They’re so cute you could even frame them (after you send them to all your friends of course!)

My friends over at Noodle and Friends recently sent me one of their new microfleece sweaters to test out. They must have known that it’s been bitterly cold here in Pennsylvania, reaching into the single digit temperatures just last week!
This “Stroodle” as it’s called, was just what I needed to give me that extra added warmth in this cold weather.
The Noodle Stroodle is a luxe microfleece lounging sweater designed just for dachshunds. Like a second skin, it’s perfect for indoor lounging, napping and playing when your thermostat might be set a bit too low (which according to us dachshunds is ALL THE TIME).
I’m wearing the medium size, which surprisingly fit my chest and under belly perfectly and it isn’t even hard to get into at all. It’s hard to find a dachshund fleece that fits our bodies so snuggly.
The Stroodle comes in 4 sizes and colors from petal pink, sky blue (which is what I’m wearing), cherry red, and navy blue.
The Stroodle was so comfy, that I was ready for nap time almost instantly.
Even though the Stroodle is designed to be an indoor lounging coat, I’ve find it to be quite useful as an extra layer when I’m on the farm.
Wearing the Stroodle under my Noodle and Friends Blizzard Parka gives me that extra warmth I need to be on the farm helping with chores.
Ok well maybe chores isn’t the right word, hunting expeditions might be more like it!
You can fetch your own Stroodle from Noodle and Friends for $35.

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is a sponsored post by Born Pretty.
The website, Born Pretty, recently launched a new line of pet products and asked if I would like to test some of them out.
I browsed through their online shop which had a lot of variety of items, most of which were at pretty reasonable prices – and they even offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING! From winter coats, to light up collars, toys and more – I had a tough time deciding what to test out.
I finally landed on this treat launcher (which I’ve always wanted to try) and this interesting rubber egg dog toy.
The rubber egg didn’t come with any packaging and the online description wasn’t very informative other than to say that it was resistant to dog bites. Since I’m such a tough chewer mom decided not to let me play with the egg since she couldn’t determine if it might easily break apart or harm me if I swallowed any pieces.
That’s ok though, because the toy I really wanted to test out was the treat launcher! And after a quick wash (as suggested on the back of the package) I was ready to launch some treats!
I had a little trouble locating those flying cookies, but I’m sure with a bit more practice I will totally get the hang of it!
The launcher works a bit easier if you don’t over-fill it with treats, but regardless it was still fun to play with. How can you not like a toy that shoots cookies into the air?
And now for the best part…..

Disclosure: I received some toys from Born Pretty for review on my blog, but all opinions are entirely my own! I would like to note this company is located overseas (which I did not realize until after agreeing to a review) – as I know some of you may prefer to only purchase from US companies. Also because of this winners prizes may take 3 – 5 weeks to arrive.
