It’s that time of the month when you can live vicariously through me and all of my favorite napping spots! Here’s where I’ve been catching some Zzzz’s the past few weeks:
What’s your favorite spot this month?
Check out where else I’ve been sleeping in my “Oh the Places You Sleep” series!
Just like every year for the past 7 years I made sure not to miss the Devon Horse Show last week! Devon is one of the oldest and largest multi-breed horse competitions in the United States and every year it never disappoints with tasty food to eat, fun horse events to see, and of course….
….people to watch! I’ve become quite the expert at people watching, after all the things you humans do are so fascinating sometimes!
After hobnobbing with some of the equestrian elite I decided to hit the pavement and explore the grounds!
Devon has always been the go-to place for all the cool dogs in town, and I even ran into this fellow who was helping to run an art gallery on the grounds!
Then I ran into this fine looking dude, Buddy, who looked an awful lot like someone I know. I just can’t place who…. 😉
After some obligatory butt-sniffing we became fast friends! Until we meet again Buddy!
Another successful year at Devon in the books! I can’t wait until next year when I get to bring my little sister along to enjoy it too. (although I guess technically she did come along this year too….but she couldn’t really appreciate all the sights!) 😉
Are there any outings you take your dog on every single year?

Trooper and I have always been really competitive. We compete for pretty much everything including treats, toys, dinner, and who gets to eat the cat food first!
Most of the time I win at everything (I’m a dachshund, I was born a wienner!), but every once in a while something comes along that Trooper puts up a little more of a fight for! Check out the video below for proof….
Trooper wasn’t going to let me get away with having all the fun with our PetQwerks Flavorit Bones.
See these nylon dog bones have tiny little holes on them that allow them to be filled with your dog’s favorite soft spread like peanut butter, cream cheese and more.
Trooper certainly put up a good fight for this one, but as you saw in the video, us dachshunds always win!

Is your dog competitive with other dogs?
Every year I like to plant a vegetable garden. After last year’s winter my usual veggie spot was looking a bit sad. Nothing a little gardening re-model couldn’t fix though!
My handy Dad got to work right away with a new plan so mom and I don’t have to pull weeds anymore…woohoo! Mom of course had to sit this one out, since apparently heavy lifting is frowned upon when you’re growing a baby.
Eventually (thanks to dad’s hard work) my new garden boxes started to take shape and it was time to get the dirt! (my favorite part)
I tagged along to help mom and dad pick up garden soil so my plants could grow big and strong.
While dad shoveled all the dirt into the garden boxes I stood guard to make sure no critters got in the way of our hard work. It’s pretty much a full time job.
The soil went in and I could hardly wait to get my plants into the ground. I’ve been saving bits of kibble all year to plant my kibble tree!
With soil in the boxes the garden was looking mostly finished….now it was time to plant!
After mom picked up some plant starts at the store I helped put everything into the boxes. Now all we have to do is wait for them to grow big and strong, and keep the critters from eating them! Don’t worry though, I know just the dog for the job!
Does your dog involve themselves in your home projects like I do?
Memorial Day, a time to remember all of the fallen soldiers who have fought to protect this wonderful place I call home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
xoxo,
Sometimes I get a taste of adventure and it’s pretty much all I need to send me into a full blown meltdown when mom won’t let me off the leash to investigate further.
In this case that “taste” consisted of me physically biting a wild animal in the woods. What can I say, I like to live life on the edge! Adventure Awaits my friends!
Does your dog take hunting as seriously as I do?
Sometimes after a successful day of “stink” hunting on the farm I can’t help but feel super proud of myself for the most recent rich potent smell I found. I mean it’s a real art to find the best spot to roll in.
After inevitably tracking me down with my GPS tracker (thanks for ratting me out Trax!*), mom never quite appreciates my most recent stink-capades. It’s only a matter of minutes before she utters those words…..B..A..T..H.

Stink eye commence, why is my fun always ruined?
Sigh, don’t worry, I’ll always live to stink another day!
Is your dog a master of the stinky smells just like me?
It’s true. I’ve been hiding something from you.
This blog has always been a way for me to share my daily adventures with the world, and I love that all of you continue to check in to see what I’m up to in my life.
From snow days on the farm…
…beach days in the summer…
…and my hard working days at the shop, I’ve shared just about everything on this blog.
Except there is one thing that I’ve kept a secret. Until now…
This summer I’m going to be starting my biggest adventure yet, as a BIG BROTHER! That’s right, after 7 years of being an “only child” my family is going to be gaining a new member.
My new 2-legged little sister will be here before I know it, and I’ve still got a lot to do to prepare!
I’ve already been practicing my dress-up skills, and I don’t even mind having to wear pink shades with my fashionable bunny slippers….
…just so long as Minnow and I can still play Super Heroes with her too!
While I know things around here will change, I’m more than ready for my next big adventure!
Thanks to all of you for supporting me along the way, and being there to cheer me on no matter where life takes me. Adventure Awaits!

Yay! It’s everyone’s favorite time of the month…..time for a nap! Ok well technically you probably can’t take a nap (because you’re working….or perhaps you should be!), but since I’m a dog I can nap ANYTIME I want. You’re jealous aren’t you? That’s ok, you can live vicariously through all the interesting places I’ve been napping this month. Check it out…
Let’s be honest here, I work hard, but I nap even harder! Which place is your favorite nap spot this month?

Ever since this Wireless Video Monitor from Vimtag showed up at my house last year I’ve found myself “in the doghouse” on several occasions. And since you guys seem to love hearing about my “bad dog” antics, I’m back with another installment of my recent “caught on camera” moments!
Now if you don’t remember, the Vimtag Wireless Monitor is a camera the connects to your homes Wifi and allows your parents to check up on you from anywhere they want via their smart phone. Yeah, so you can see why I’ve gotten caught in a few “sticky” situations lately.
Recently they caught me red handed….
When packages arrive at the house I don’t really care who they are addressed to, anything is fair game. I just assume even if it’s not meant for me I might find the contents inside useful anyway.
Too lazy to wander into the kitchen to find my water bowl, I’m totally not above taking a drink out of the convenient fountain in the bathroom. After all, it is closer to my giant dog bed in the master bedroom!
I couldn’t really deny any of these naughty acts when mom came home with time stamped images from the Vimtag App as proof…
Read all about my adventures with Vimtag, and the array of uses my mom has found for this wireless video monitor. You can snag your own Vimtag Wireless Video Monitoring Camera from Amazon to catch your own naughty dog in the act! (and I am not responsible for any dogs that get in trouble!)
P.S. While it’s not to say that I’m always a perfect angel, these “caught on camera” scenes are dramatizations all in the name of good fun! (Although I won’t say I’ve never been caught doing something I shouldn’t!)
