Super fun right?

Last week I wrote about my saying (“My Hero”) that I had submitted to the Blanket ID “Significant Others” Tag Contest, and I asked you (my fans) to help my tag win by voting so that I could choose a lucky animal rescue to donate money from the sale of my tags to.
Well thanks to all of you I placed second! Which means in a few short weeks my tag will be available for purchase from Blanket ID!
As exciting as this is, I’m even more excited to announce that the rescue I have chosen to receive $3 from every sale of my tag is the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue!
Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR) is a National Non-Profit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing needy Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes from coast to coast.
Just look at some of these cuties they have available for adoption:
To see all of their available dogs visit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.
So if you’d like to be a hero just like me, then you might consider making a purchase of my Blanket ID tag once it is available (I’ll be sure to let you know). And you can also come visit me on April 21st at the Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. More details HERE.
Slap on your cape, and grab a helmet, because there are always heroes welcome in my club!
One of the questions I get a lot is why do I tolerate wearing coats, sweaters, and even costumes so well? The answer is simple, I was born in October and warm outfits became an important part of my everyday life to keep me warm at a very young age!
Not to mention I looked oh-so-good in a hand knitted sweater!
Nothing better than a Dachshund in a sweater! xoxo
Those of you who are regular readers of my blog know that I’m a pretty active guy. I’m always going on exciting adventures, taking training classes, and generally just running around (boy do I love to run). But ever since Mom had surgery I’ve had to stay home a lot to take care of her. I don’t mind taking care of mom (and the good news is only 2 more weeks before we can return to regular adventures), but I do very much miss some things, like visiting my friends on the farm.
The good news is, Mom was missing the farm just as much as me, so over the weekend we took a trip out to visit all of my friends.
The Chincoteague Ponies missed me the most, and I missed Boomerang, Blitz, and Minnow just as much!
I also missed running! So I ran and ran and ran!
I also helped do farm chores, like herding the horses out to the pasture.
And then I ran some more! (Check out how much further along Trooper’s new house is! I can’t wait to give you the tour once Mom can walk a little better).
Trooper and I also did some wrestling. I won as always.
Then I spent the rest of my time on the farm helping to brush Minnow, my favorite pony in the whole wide world!
My time on the farm came and went too quickly. But I know soon we will be back to visiting my friends nearly every day – and it will be Spring! I can hardly wait!

Super Heroes do more than just look great in capes, they also help their community! I am proud to be a supporter of animal rescues and helping shelter animals in need.
A few months ago I created a new page on my blog all about giving back. You can check it out HERE.
I love to do everything I can to help animals in need, so when an opportunity popped up to help a rescue of my choice, I jumped at the chance.
Blanket ID (makers of those fun id tags that keep your pets safe) recently launched a contest looking for cute sayings for their new id tags in their “Significant Others” collection. The winning saying will make it onto a Blanket ID tag in which $3 from every sale will go to the winner’s favorite animal rescue.
My tag submission, “My Hero”, recently made it to the top 10 finalists and is now in the running to be chosen!
Now I need your help to get my tag to the top!
You can vote for my tag (#4, My Hero) by just leaving a comment with the number 4 on the Blanket ID blog, on their Facebook page or emailing it to cate@blanketID.com, share it if you like as much as you can and help me and my chosen rescue. Voting ends Today, Monday 4th March at midnight. Click HERE to VOTE.
Regardless of whether or not my design wins (although it would be fun to win), animals in need will get a helping paw! And that’s the most important part!
I’m very excited to welcome my new blog sponsor, K9 CarFence!
You might remember a couple of months ago I got to test out their K9 CarFence in my own car (you can read my review here).
I’m a huge advocate of keeping pets safe in the car (we’re all precious cargo now aren’t we?), and the K9 Carfence is one of those products that does just that! We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.
Some key features of the K9Carfence include:
K9 CarFence has offered up a special promo code for all of our readers! Use AMMO at checkout to receive FREE SHIPPING on your order.
You can shop with K9 CarFence HERE and also be sure to like them on Facebook!
It’s Throwback Thursday time! I dug through my old puppy photos and pulled out these gems to share with you today.
I was pretty cute, right? Well it’s about to get even cuter – because there is one thing I’m pretty sure none of you can resist…..it’s the elusive puppy head tilt!
What’s that you say, you’ve melted into a puddle of goo? Yea, I can have that effect. *wink*
Did you ever find that perfect sunny spot in the house? You know the one, it’s warm and soft, and makes you just want to snuggle up and close your eyes.
There really is only one thing that can drag me from a sunny spot…..COOKIES!
Do you have any? Because I’d gladly lend you my sunny spot for the afternoon if you did! *wink*
The latest meme floating around right now is The Harlem Shake, a song that has sparked a series of dance videos to an instrumental song produced by the artist Baauer. And since I’m never one to miss out on a meme, I decided to do my own rendition.
I bet you are mad impressed with my dance skills right!? I’ve been practicing if you can’t tell.
Anyone else do their own rendition of the Harlem Shake? Let’s see it! Post your favorite ones in the comment section!
