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? 
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!
Disclaimer: This product review & giveaway is sponsored by Bugsy’s Box.
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?
Do you ever get the feeling like you are being watched?
I feel like that a lot actually. It’s like no matter what way I turn there is someone looking over my shoulder.
Oh I should of known! My gal Cricket is always tailing me!
That’s ok though, she’s a pretty sweet tail to have!
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?
Lets face it, personalized art is just oh so much fun – add a dog to that and it’s totally got my tail wagging!
With a selection of 24 tail-wagging dog breeds, you can celebrate the arrival of a new pet or honor a longtime family friend with a customized pen-and-ink pet drawing from Grandin Road. You can also get personalized cat portraits too!
You can fetch your own personalized dog line art drawing from Grandin Road for $49.
Last weekend on the farm we had some lingering snow, the kind of snow that was perfect for snowballs! Trooper and I wasted no time in having a little game out of who could catch the most.
After a few failed attempts on my part to catch said snowballs (it would probably help if I opened my eyes when trying to catch them), it was evident that Trooper was going to come out on top with this one.
What can I say, my best friend is a natural!
You know as much as we all want to complain about the winter with all the snow and the cold, there is just something magical about running through the snow, catching snowballs, and bundling up until you can hardly move!
Even our farm neighbor, Bella the Bernese Mountain Dog decided to stop by for some wintertime fun!
Unfortunately despite all my winter gear, I still lack the natural winter protection that my friend Bella is so blessed with. So I was off to the car to warm up for a bit!
Sorry Bella, our winter fun will have to wait until I thaw out some!
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!)
