Over the weekend mom and dad took me to pick out my Halloweenie pumpkins.
And oh boy where there pumpkins galore to choose from!
But not to worry, this nose is very experienced at picking out the very best carving pumpkins!
Just look at these beauties I sniffed out! I can’t wait to get to carving them, all I have to do is decide what to carve. Any suggestions?
And if you didn’t know, I’m also pretty awesome at carving pumpkins too, just like these sweet pumpkins from a few years back.
A couple of months ago Trooper and I got the opportunity to have a little fashion show with the new Martha Stewart Fall Pet Line, available at Petsmart.
The end result landed a photo of me on MarthaStewart.com – pretty exciting!
The fact is though, mom took so many fun photos of Trooper and I enjoying our new Martha Stewart products – that we had to share all the others that didn’t make the cut!
Especially since they are the PERFECT thing to put everyone in the Halloweenie mood!
Honestly, what’s more Halloweenie than a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin?
Well perhaps a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin in a pile of hay!
Trooper totally had his eye on the Martha Stewart toys, and I bet he was thinking he’d get to take them home with him after our little photoshoot.
Sorry Trooper, I’ll share my Halloweenie collar with you, but these toys are mine….all mine!
What sort of things are you doing this fall to get into the Halloweenie mood?
Disclosure: I received products from Martha Stewart to photograph for their website, but decided to share the fun photos on my blog as well! All opinions are my own.

My new friends over at the Paw Street Barkery thought my tummy was looking a little hungry (isn’t is always) so they kindly sent me over some sweet treats from their organic dog treat line.
Of course when my pal Trooper caught wind of the fact that there were some yummy treats at my house – he jumped at the chance to help me taste test all of them – how thoughtful.
Paw Street Barkery sent over three yummy flavors for me to try. Mom’s favorite part about them was the limited ingredients, which are perfect for even the most sensitive of tummies.
Peanut Butter Pooch
Ingredients:
Sweet Paw-Tato
Ingredients:
Chicken Bow-wow
Ingredients:
All that talk about peanut butter, sweet potato, and chicken had Trooper and I drooling!
The good thing about reviewing cookies is that there’s lots of taste testing required.
Both Trooper and I agree, Paw Street Barkery makes a mean cookie….and we’re more than happy to vacuum up any and all crumbs should our services be needed to taste test again.
You can fetch these yummy treats and more from the Paw Street Barkery!
And now for the best part….

As you know on Sunday I celebrated my 6th Birthday by attending the Yuengling Oktoberfest Dachshund Races. Well when I go home later that day I got to do my very favorite part of Birthdays…..opening my presents!
I’m such a lucky dog to have so many presents to open, some from my mom and dad and some from some very sweet businesses!
I’m pretty much an expert at unwrapping gifts……my skills even landed me in a google commercial a few christmases ago! Check out how fast I am at unwrapping my gifts in the video below.
So just what did I score? Well mom and dad got me this handy Love Thy Beast Tote (that is plenty big enough for a 20lb dachshund like me), an Emergency First Aid Kit
My friends at Mattie & Margot also sent me some spiffy new collars that are perfect for fall and my pals over at Chewy.com sent me a package of Grandma Lucy’s Organic Blueberry Treats.
Grandma Lucy’s Treats smelled delicious and even looked like cute little teddy grahams. Full disclosure here, my dad thought they smelled so good that he tried them himself – and considering the ingredients are human grade, and made with no By-Products, no artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors, I’m not surprised that he found them very tasty.
But sorry dad, I don’t plan on sharing – you’ll just have to snag your own from Chewy.com.
My new friends over at My Fabulous Puppy also sent me one of their handmade sweaters. It’s cute and snuggly and perfect for fall!
So thanks to everyone who made my Birthday extra special – I can’t believe I have to wait another whole YEAR before I can celebrate again!
Disclosure: I received a product from Chewy.com in exchange for a review, but all opinions are entirely my own.

My mom and dad take lots of steps to insure that I’m safe, one of which includes making sure that I always have on proper identification – especially when I’m on the farm.
So when Tag Me Pet Tags sent me over one of their custom etched tags I was thrilled to have a stylish and fun way to wear my id.
As you can see the front was custom etched to include my name and logo (me in my super hero cape), how fun is that!
The back of my tag was etched with two phone numbers (but it can also include an address if you choose). I don’t know about you, but I think this is such a fun and awesome way to ID your pet!
Tag Me Pet Tags has a whole line of pre-designed and etched tags for your pets, and they are also able to make custom designs (like mine) as well. Here’s a few fun ones:
They also make stamped tags as well like these:
Personally I love the etched look!
You can pick up your own fun pet tag design from Tag Me Pet Tags, and be sure to use the coupon code AMMO10 for 10% off your order!

P.S. Don’t forget, today is the last day to enter my giveaway for a Necktie Collar and Leash from BW Barkery as well as my BIG Instagram Giveaway! There’s also still time to enter my Smart Dog Clicker App Giveaway!
Since tomorrow I officially turn SIX, I thought I would pop in today to give you a quick an easy DIY so that you can celebrate along with me tomorrow in style! This DIY is so simple and easy you can probably make it with items you find around your house. Here’s how…..
Supplies:
Step 1: Tear or cut a scrap of paper into a long rectangle shape and wad up into a ball. The longer and wider the paper the bigger the bowtie will be.
Step 2: Flatten out your paper and fold the two rectangle ends into the middle, overlapping at the center.
Step 3: Pinch the center where the paper overlaps and wrap some washi tape around the center to hold it into place.
Step 4: Wrap some Baker’s Twine around the center and tie leaving the ends long so that you can tie it onto your dog’s collar.
See wasn’t that easy!
Now you have no excuse not to get your dog festive for my Birthday tomorrow! Make sure you post photos of your dog celebrating on my Facebook wall!
And hopefully you’ll join in with me tomorrow as I celebrate 6 years of life (there may be some singing involved!).

Since it’s Birthday week here on the blog I’ve packed in as many fun giveaways and goodies as I could for all of my faithful readers!
I recently got the chance to test out the Smart Dog Clicker App for iPhone. Most of you probably already know that I’m an avid fan of clicker training and my mom has been using this training method since day 1 with me.
Now if you’re unfamiliar with clicker training you can brush up on the basics, but essentially the Smart Dog Clicker App puts a “clicker” conveniently in your hands without the need to carry around one in your pocket.
For people and dogs who prefer the mechanical sound of a clicker when training this is useful, for me personally mom usually uses a click of her tongue – making it not totally necessary for her to carry one around for training on the fly.
With the Smart Dog Clicker App you’ll still need to provide your own treats for any training sessions with your dog, but at least you won’t have to carry around a bulky clicker.
The elite version of the app also comes with tips for teaching your dog 32 different tricks.
Some of the tricks are pretty basic, like sit and and stay.
But there are a few more complex tricks like playing dead, bow, and yawn. Full disclosure though, I did wish the steps were a bit more detailed and perhaps in a step by step guide.
As you can see I’m already an expert at playing dead, but there are a few on the list I might have to try.
The Smart Dog Clicker is available from the iTunes App store for iPhone in a free version (which includes ads and a limited list of tricks) and an elite version for $1.99 which includes no ads and the full list of tricks.
And now for the best part….
FIVE LUCKY WINNER WILL THE ELITE VERSION OF THE SMART DOG CLICKER (only works on iPhone)

Since I’m celebrating Birthday Week on the blog, I thought it would be fun to share a fun DIY for some dog inspired artwork! You’ll love this fun tutorial to add a little extra woof to your own home!
String Art isn’t a new concept, all you have to do is search pinterest and tons of examples will pop up. After seeing lots of fun renditions on the web I thought it would be fun to create my own design, with man’s best friend in mind!
DIY Dog String Art
Supplies:
Step 1: Tape your printed type onto your block of wood. You can really use anything from shapes to various words and even logos.
Step 2: Nail your brads along the inner and outer edges of your text.
Step 3: Remove the paper.
Step 4: Tie your string to one of the nails and begin winding around them in every which direction. It helps if you outline each of the letters with string before filling them in.
Step 5: Continue this process for each of the letters until they are all filled in with string.
Congrats! You now have some fun dog-inspired string art!
I think it turned out pretty fantastic, and I can’t wait to come up with some more fun designs!
I can’t wait to see what fun string art you come up with! Be sure to share your String Art projects on my Facebook page!
In celebration of my upcoming 6th Birthday my mom made me a lovely video to look back over my past year of adventures. So if you’ve got 11 minutes to spare, make sure you check out the video below to relieve all the happy memories from my past year on this earth!
Watch this video on youtube.
Looking at all of my adventures in video form makes me so grateful that I get to share all of my fun with you! Thanks so much for checking in on my blog, leaving me nice comments, and making a dog feel extra special. I can’t wait for year #6 and for all of life’s adventures ahead. I hope you’ll continue to join me for all the fun!
