Recently they sent me this made in the USA, Gooby Luxury Aqua Leather Dog Collar to test out.

Doggie Days Boutique Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now first, let me just say, “Gooby”, what a funny name! If only that, I was super excited to wear something around my neck stamped with the name Gooby!

Aside from having a silly name this collar is made of the SOFTEST synthetic and durable lamb skin material. This is great for dogs that might have really sensitive skin – in which a traditional collar might irritate their skin.

Or, ahem, dogs like me that have “dachshund pattern baldness”. (It’s a real condition, look it up!)

Now I know what you’re probably thinking, for a farm dog like me this pretty aqua collar is going to be RUINED on the farm. But guess what, it’s actually machine washable for all those time you roll in pony poop or dead animal smell (not that I would EVER do that).

You can fetch the Gooby Collar in several sizes and lots of fun colors from the Doggie Days Boutique. And as a bonus, use code AMMO for 10% off your next order!

Friday Fetch: Dog Bowties & Purses

I’ve been a big fan of Silly Buddy Bowties for a long time now. In fact the first bowtie I ever owned came from Silly Buddy. So when I recently saw that they partnered with Jenny N. Design to make a line of matching purses I knew my mom would be lusting after one for Dog Mom’s Day.

Blanket ID Adopt a Tag Collection – Helping Rescue Groups

Blanket ID Significant Others Collection // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember that a few months ago, thanks to all of your wonderful votes, my phrase “My Hero” was selected to be turned into a tag in the Blanket Id Adopt a Tag Collection.

This new collection has been especially designed with breed rescues in mind and is available in the blanket id store! Each tag will directly benefit a Rescue – either each winner’s chosen charity (I chose to support the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue) or you can select your own. You’ll find information about all the chosen winners here.

I was so excited when my new Blanket Id tag arrived in the mail!

Since the idea behind this tag collection is showing you care, I decided that I would gift my new Blanket Id tag to my best friend Trooper – so that he can be protected by the Blanket Id services too!

If you can’t tell, Trooper is very excited to be “My Hero” and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be helping one of our favorite rescues, The Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.

The Polka Dog Bakery at Target

It’s no secret that I love to shop (who doesn’t?), and I’m always so excited when I find a super cool new product or shop.

Recently Target stores across the country launched The Shops, which is a collection of products from local boutique stores like Cos Bar, Privet House, The Candy Store, The Webster, and my personal favorite The Polka Dog Bakery. So just like any good dog mom, my mom headed to Target yesterday to check it out for me while I waited in the car (since sadly I couldn’t sneak in myself). Each store varies in their merchandise, but you can check out most of their collection online.

Of course just scoping out the new products isn’t enough – you have to physically test the merchandise!

So mom came home with a Dog Toy and a box of cookies for me to try.

If you can’t tell by the look on my face, it was a glorious day!

My ice cream sandwich may have not tasted like the real thing, but it was fantastic just the same.

Not only did it squeak, but it was filled with stuffing too!

I eventually broke a hole in my ice cream sandwich, so it doesn’t squeak anymore – but it’s still just as fun to play with. Plus, mom says I look super adorable when I nibble on it.

Later mom let me snack on some of the Polka Dog Bakery treats, which were an all-natural chicken flavor.

They get an A++ from me for yumminess! In fact, I’m so in love with my Polka Dog Bakery items that I’m already trying to convince mom to raid all of the Target’s in my area for more fun items from the collection.

Anyone else spot fun items from The Polka Dog Bakery at their local Target? You can post your finds on my Facebook page so we can all drool over their fabulous items!

 

P.S. Dear Target & The Polka Dog Bakery, if you are reading this, I am more than happy to test all of your merchandise! It would be a big time commitment, but I’m willing to dedicate myself to the cause! 😉 

Disclaimer: First image found on the Target Website. I was not paid or perked to write this post, I simply found the Polka Dog Bakery items simply irresistible. You can connect with The Polka Dog Bakery via their Facebook Page, Blog and Website too.

Friday Fetch: Hund Collection at Neue Galerie

HF Loden CoatsIt’s always great when canines and art can combine, I should know, I’m an artist. So that’s why I was super excited when I received the new Neue Galerie New York catalog in the mail.

Neue Galerie is a museum devoted to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design. The gallery shop is devoted to providing the finest design icons from three periods: Biedermeier, Vienna 1900, and the Bauhaus. Contemporary designers such as Han Feng, Michael Graves, and Eva Zeisel also create exclusive pieces for the museum shop.

Among these contemporary pieces is Hund, which is a collection of chic canine couture and luxe accessories inspired by a mini Schnauzer named Milly von Barksky.

In other words, drool.

The Hund collection might be a bit out of my price range, but a dog can dream right? You can check out the Hund Collection at Neue Gaerie.
