If you follow me on Facebook, then you may have already heard, I’m a COMMERCIAL STAR!
Back in November I was contacted by Google at the request to purchase the non-exclusive rights to one of my youtube videos for an upcoming Google Chrome commercial.
Fast forward another month and my mom received a text from a friend that said she thought she saw me in a television commercial during an episode of Modern Family. How exciting!
I must admit, it’s kinda fun to flip on the tv and catch a glimpse of myself unwrapping a present.
I feel like such a celebrity now! Who knows, maybe this will lead to my very own sitcom or movie role. (a dog can dream can’t he?)
This year when Christmas morning arrived, so did the snow! I awoke to a blanket of snow in my backyard….it was glorious!
After taking a romp in the newly fallen snow I set to work unwrapping all of my gifts!
Santa must of known that I’ve been a very good boy, because he brought me lots of goodies this year.
One of my favorite gifts this year was an add-on for my agility poles so that I can practice indoors too! Santa knows me so well!
So after diving into all my presents at home, we loaded up the car and headed over to Trooper’s house for some more Christmas fun.
I dressed for the occasion in my Holiday tie!
Trooper said I made him feel very under dressed.
Even my new cousin Jack joined us for some fun during the holidays – although he was smart and staked out the best spot on the couch before we started opening gifts.
We opened so many gifts at Trooper’s house, that Trooper fell asleep with all his new toys in his mouth. He just doesn’t know how to hang.
After the party at Trooper’s we loaded up the car again and headed to my MomMom & PopPop’s house so that I could give my human cousins some gifts too!
My cousin Maddie got a pony for Christmas, which she promptly named Ammo. I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted?
When we finally arrived back home late that night, mom said I had to put all my new toys away in the new toy baskets Santa had brought me.
I figured Santa would want me to enjoy my gifts to the fullest, so I snuggled up for the night inside one of my toy bins. Morning couldn’t come soon enough!
Here’s a round-up of what goodies I got this year:
I had a wonderful Christmas with my family, getting to take some time off work and spend time with the one’s I love was just what I needed after a busy Holiday season at mom’s shop. I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday as well!
Today is the last day of my 12 Days of Cheer! And it is also Christmas Day! Hooray!
I hope you’ve enjoyed celebrating the season with my 12 Days of Cheer – and just for fun, let’s take a look back at all the fun we’ve had these past few days.
So on our final and last day of the 12 Days of Cheer I wanted to wish all of my friends and family a very Merry Christmas!
I’m now off to visit with my family and spread my Christmas Cheer while wearing my most awesome Christmas Outfit. When you’re this good looking it’s pretty easy to leave some cheer behind everywhere you go!
Yippee, it’s Christmas Eve! If you’re anything like me you are getting out your best Holiday Outfit to wear to all of the upcoming Holiday parties and festivities.
This year I decided to whip up some special festive wear – a simple DIY to make you look oh-so-spiffy this Christmas.

Step 3: Glue velcro to the back of the collar, you may need to measure your dog’s neck to see where to position the velcro.
Step 4: Take your clip-on tie and shorten the length of the tie to an appropriate length for your dog by pushing the excess fabric up and through the knot of the tie.
Step 5: Cut off the excess tie fabric at the top, leaving enough that you can glue it later.
Step 6: Hot glue the ends of your tie back into place.
Step 7: Clip the tie onto the collar and you’re ready for a festive night!
I must admit, my festive Holiday outfit makes me so ridiculously good looking! Not the DIY type? Don’t worry, you can snag a festive pre-made bowtie for your pup* for any occasion!
So what will you’re pets be wearing this Christmas? Holiday bowtie, Christmas sweater or maybe – dare I say it – your birthday suit? Do tell!
Every year mom helps me wrap up my holiday gifts (the lack of opposable thumbs really hinders me in this department). And every year I try to add a little something special to the packages from me.
You also may have noticed the cute little gift tags with my Christmas mug on them! Well guess what!? I’ve created a printable set just for you!
Feel free to download my Holiday Gift Tags HERE. You are free to use them for personal use on all your holiday gifts this year. Send a little smiling doxie cheer! Yipppee!
Step 1: Mold your sculpy into a “snow mound” that will fit inside the lid of the jar. Make sure sure that it can fit inside the jar lid with the jar on top.
Step 2: Bake your sculpy in the oven at the temperature and time specified on the package. Allow to cool.
Step 3: Using a hot glue gun attach the “snow mound” to the lid of your jar. Then glue the dog figurine on top of it.
Step 4: Add glitter to your jar.
Step 5: Add water to your jar, making sure you don’t overfill it.
Step 6: Screw the lid onto the jar, shake, and enjoy!
It’s magical isn’t it?
I’m very much enjoying my snowglobe – it has just the right amount of Christmas Cheer!
This DIY was inspired by this tutorial from ModCloth.
Festive, fun, and made of COOKIES! This is totally my kind of DIY!
Mom helped me come up with a fun holiday garland to decorate my home with this year. I figured can’t hurt to make my home extra festive, because you never know what jolly round fellow might be stopping by in a few days!
Step 1: Using your Electric Drill, drill holes through the pre-existing hole marks in your cookie. You can alternatively use an awl to push holes through them – but this method tends to crack the cookies easier.
Step 2: Spray paint your cookies a fun and festive color.
Allow them to completely dry before moving onto the next step, preferably overnight.
Step 3: Thread the bakers twine through the back of your cookies. A toothpick may be helpful to push the twine through them.
Step 4: You will want to knot the end of each piece of twine near your cookie so that it won’t slide around on the garland.
Step 5: If you choose you can tie some festive ribbon onto the bakers twine. Then hang and enjoy!
Had I know this Cookie Garland was just for looks and not for nibbling I might not have been as excited to make it.
Despite the red spray paint I can still smell the cookies underneath, so make sure you hang your garland out of reach of any furry friends! Mom says it might smell good, but they won’t taste good!
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:
Mason Jar
Painters Tape
Spray Paint
Bone Cookie Cutter (or anything you would like to use as a stencil)
Exacto Knife
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!
