A couple of years ago I took to the air (just like Snoopy only not quite as dramatic) and went for my first single engine plane ride! I had a blast looking at everything below turn into tiny little specs….just like ants….or rodents to be hunted!
I can’t wait for my next plane ride! Has your dog ever flown before?
You can read all about my plane ride in 2012 and how I took to air with ease!
Over the past several months I’ve been helping my mom design our very own set of adorable dachshund prints for my shop. With yours truly as the muse we are finally able to introduce 6 sweet prints that are now available for purchase!
Available matted or unmatted these prints come as a Black and Tan Dachshund or Red Dachshund with 3 different background patterns to choose from.
Each one was completely hand-drawn by my mom on her tablet and has been professionally printed on a petite 4″x4″ size – most appropriate considering us dachshunds are short and sweet.
So if you’re looking to add something happy to your walls this spring you can check out these Graphic Dachshund prints in my Etsy Shop starting at $10!
And as an added bonus, you can use code FREESHIP to get Free Shipping on all domestic orders! Yay!

Last week my March Barkbox arrived in the mail with the idea to get your day started off right!
Inspired by a good, old-fashioned breakfast my box was packed full of goodies to jump start my morning!
Goodies like these Organic Breakfast Dog Biscuits from Wagatha’s. Made in Vermont with organic, human-grade ingredients, these biscuits are wheat-free and lactose-free!
Or the ever popular 100% beef bladder Barkworthies, which I gobbled up seconds after mom took this photo.
And who doesn’t love a little rabbit in their bowl? These Hare of the Dog Rabbit treats are healthy and wheat-free.
And the icing on the cake in my bowl, Aussie Naturals leather egg and bacon toys. Sadly they don’t taste like their counterparts, but they do squeak and I had a blast tearing them apart!
So if you want to start your pup’s day out right too you can snag a Barkbox subscription and have goodies like these delivered to your front door every month.
And don’t worry, you don’t have to share if you don’t want to – because I definitely don’t plan to!
You can fetch your own BarkBox starting at $19 a month. Save $5 on your BarkBox subscription if you use code AMMO5!

When my friends over at Chewy.com sent me a package of these Nutrisource Soft & Tender Lamb Dog Treats, I knew it was just the thing to bring with me on my weekend road trip to the mountains.
Nutrisource soft & tender treats are made in the USA with real lamb and added vitamins and minerals. They contain only natural ingredients and have no wheat, no soy and no artificial colors!
They also contain a trusted source of L-Carnitine which is an amino acid. It helps your pet naturally burn fat and promotes loss of body weight and healthy weight maintenance.
So when I met my new bear friend in Dushure, PA – I decided to share the bounty since it looked like he had put on a few extra winter pounds himself!
My “sharing” didn’t last long because who am I kidding, these treats were too yummy not to enjoy myself!
You can fetch your own Nutrisource Soft & Tender Treats from Chewy.com for about $3 a bag!

Don’t forget, today is the last day to enter my Dogtails Shampoo Giveaway!
I spotted these Dog Rocks recently and thought they were quite an interesting product. They are a 100% natural prevention & cure to canine lawn urine burn patches. They are safe for all breeds of dogs and any other pet you share your household with. Dog Rocks were discovered in Australia by an Aboriginal gardener in the 1990s and the product has since been tried, tested, launched & sold into pet, vet and garden centre markets worldwide.
Simply place the rocks in your dog’s water bowl and it helps keep the impurities out so your lawn stays nice and green!
You can fetch your own dog rocks for about $16.
Disclosure: This post was not paid for or sponsored by dog rocks, and I have never tried this product myself. Just wanted to share my latest find!

With today being the official first day of Spring I thought it would be appropriate to share a throwback video of me getting as dirty as possible on the farm. You know, in honor of all the springtime mud thats here!
It’s not Spring unless you get dirty!
What kind of dirt does your dog track in this time of year?
Most of you already know that I’m a regular working dog at my mom’s custom frame shop in our home town. So I thought it would be fun to share some photos of me “working like a dog” at the shop. Because we all know I work the hardest out of anyone!
See I told you I work really hard!

Since I was just a wee pup I have been traveling in the car in style in my booster seat
I’ve spent many a car trip in my booster seat over the years.
In fact I enjoy looking out the window from my seat so much that over the years I had flattened down the edge of it. Comfortable, yes, but safe? Mom begged to differ on that.
Which is why for my mom’s Birthday a few weeks ago I got this brand new K&H Bucket Booster Seat
In fact, my family loves me so much that I ended up with two of them! Yes, due to a little mix-up I got both the large K&H Booster Seat
I debated for a while which one to keep. The only difference between the two beds was that the large was about 4″ wider.
Now even though the larger bed would of given me more room, my current booster seat was the exact same size as the small – so I was already pretty comfortable napping in it. In the end mom decided we should keep the small because it fit a little better in our car. The large would of made it difficult for my mom to put down the other seats in our car without removing the bed first, so since we transport a lot of large items it made more sense to keep the small one.
Installing my new seat in the car was as easy as threading the seatbelt through the base.
Underneath the included cushion you can thread your seatbelt through a heavy duty d-ring which comes with 2 seat belts for your dog (or dogs).
And one of my absolute favorite features of my new bed is the ability to add a heated pad! If you purchase this heat pad
And it comes with a cord to plug it into your car. I’ve been using mine all the time and it gets nice and warm but not too hot that I wouldn’t want to lay in the bed for a couple hours (especially when I get a little chilly on the farm).
One of the things I did miss about my old bed was how soft the edges are and they were at the perfect height to rest my head on and look out the window. My new bed has rigged sides, but mom said perhaps she’ll make me a pillow to use with it. We also added a towel underneath the seat cushion to raise it up some so I can still rest my head on the arms and look out the window.
As you can see it didn’t take me long to adjust to my new ride.
So if you’re looking for a great pet bed for the car I highly recommend the K&H Booster Seat

When my new friends over at Dogtails sent me a sample of their natural clarifying dog shampoo little did I know that I would be needing it so soon.
My adventures in groundhog hunting on the farm inevitably landed me in the tub as soon as I got home!
Bathtime isn’t always my favorite thing to do, but when you have a good shampoo that can get you squeaky clean in no time it makes it that much more bare-able. Plus the bottle had a picture of a dachshund on it….so I knew it was meant to be!
