Merry Christmas friends! 
Starting today I’m going to be celebrating the 12 Days of Cheer! What is the 12 Days of Cheer you ask? Why only the most awesome, spectacular, fantastic celebration of all things Holiday on the internet!
For 12 days (monday through friday) I’ll be bringing you awesome holiday DIY’s, cheerful Christmas photos, holiday freebies, dog friendly gifts and so much more. It’s going to be so much fun!
I hope you’ll join me in celebrating the 12 Days of Cheer, because it wouldn’t be as much fun without you!
Ok, well maybe I won’t be the “star” per say, but I am in fact going to be on an upcoming television show on Animal Planet this month!
I bet you didn’t know you were in the presence of a celebrity! In fact, I’ve actually been on national television several times before.
First a clip of my pal Minnow and me aired on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Dogs:
Then in 2010 a clip of me and my girlfriend, Cricket, appeared on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Cats:
Set to air on Saturday, December 22 9PM (ET/PT) a clip of me and my partner in crime, Minnow, will appear on the show THE YEAR IN PUP CULTURE.
It’s an action-packed hour of non-stop, over-the-top cuteness (probably because I’ll be in it). THE YEAR IN PUP CULTURE looks back at the defining moments of 2012 as only Animal Planet can — with puppies! These adorable pups reenact the most memorable moments of the year, including scenes from top blockbuster movies and ripped-from-the headline bits. If these moments piqued public interest in 2012, they are getting “puppified” in the cutest hour on television.
So set your DVR’s, ready the popcorn, and be on the lookout for a short clip of me and my pony friend!
And don’t worry, incase you miss it – I’ll be sure to record it and share with everyone!
Now that it’s December it’s about time we started singing Christmas carols, baking cookies, and wearing ugly holiday sweaters.
So when my pal Bullseye the Target Dog sent me a little box of “holiday cheer”, I knew he had the right idea.
So I stuffed myself into that ugly holiday sweater, whistled the tune to jingle bells, batman smells…. and had my own little holiday party.
It was glorious, and just what I needed to kick off the holiday season!
P.S. “Ugly Sweater” or not, I make this thing look dang good!
Make sure you check out all of Bullseye’s favorite holiday goodies at Target for your pooch this year – they’re sure to spread lots holiday cheer!
It’s Turkey Day here in the states! And you know what that means….Turkey!
Last week I asked my Facebook fans what I should wear for my Thanksgiving Day feast, and I got some great suggestions. I figured it was a pretty safe bet that my bow tie would be a Turkey-Day hit.
It’s dressy, but not too dressy that I can’t still run around outside and wrestle with my bestest buddy Trooper.
But I just know as we approach “meal time” that my Turkey-Day bow tie just won’t cut it.
Which is exactly why I packed my stretchy pants this year!
With all those goodies around today I’m extra glad I’ll have a bit more room around the waist.
I’m one smart cookie!
So before I scamper off to have some fun with my family I wanted to say…… I’m thankful for each and every one of you! Knowing that I can brighten your day with my adventures is seriously they highlight of my day. Thanks for taking the time to read, leave me comments, and generally just give a dog the warm fuzzies inside.
So Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
xoxo
Every year it’s tradition for Mom to help me make a Holiday greeting card to send to our friends and family. Last year I decided to spread the cheer to everyone and made my cards available to the public. So since Christmas is just around the corner I decided it was high time I revealed my 2012 Holiday Card Design…
And what’s even more fantastic is that I’m going to be donating 2% of all the proceeds from my 2012 cards to the Main Line Animal Rescue!
My 2011 Holiday Card Design is still available for purchase in my Etsy Shop too….
I’m sure both designs will make your friends and family smile!
The making of my 2012 Holiday card was quite involved, but I promise to show you some more behind-the-scenese photos as we get a bit closer to Christmas.
You can purchase my 2012 Holiday Cards in my Etsy Shop, Flying Hero! The more you purchase, the more I can help the animal rescues!
Not all of my days are as adventurous as the next.
Sometimes I wake to find that today will just be an average day.
Quiet and calm.
Some might even say boring.
It’s days like these that I get to rest up for my next big adventure. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Plus I really enjoy napping.
You might remember that over this past year I’ve been accumulating paintings created by the talented Kim at Yellow Brick Home. First she painted a magnificent painting of me in my super hero cape, then she painted two super cool paintings of my favorite ponies, Minnow, Blitz and Boomer.
Then I realized I needed to make sure my bestest friend in the whole wide world wasn’t left out of all the fun! He is my best friend afterall. So just last week Trooper’s painting from Yellow Brick Home arrived in the mail!
It was just as glorious as I had imagined – especially since I had made sure he sent in the very best pictures of himself.
Of course I couldn’t let Trooper steal the spotlight for very long, and I photo bombed pretty much all of his photos that my mom took of him.
That’s what best friends are for!
You can get your own custom pet paintings from Kim @ Yellow Brick Home (make sure you tell her the cutest Super Hero EVER sent you!)
Disclosure: I was not paid or perked to write about Yellow Brick Home, I just think Kim’s paintings are oh-so-cool!
P.S. Did you see that I wasn’t the only one that dressed as Wile E. Coyote for Halloween this year? My Canadian Pal Crusoe, the Celebrity Dachshund also broke out his Wile E. Coyote for all his fans. Although I hear he’s also having trouble with his Acme Rocket…..I knew we should have gotten the warranty!
After much anticipation I’m now ready to reveal my epic Halloween Costume! Many of you took guesses on my facebook page as to what I would be wearing this year – and some of you even guessed right!
This year I dressed as the famous Wile E. Coyote from the popular Looney Toons Cartoon!
I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to chase that speedy Roadrunner, not to mention Wile E. Coyote had some pretty cool accessories via the Acme Catalog. The dude knew how to shop!
Mom helped me make a coyote hood for my costume out of fabric, wire, velcro, and hot glue – and yes, I am aware that it makes me look irresistibly cute! You’re welcome.
My Acme rocket may have not been from the official “Acme Catalog”, but mom did her best to build it’s likeness out of an old soda bottle, some cereal boxes, paint, elastic & rope.
So with my outfit complete I was ready to start hunting that roadrunner!
I was sooo close, but that darn Acme Rocket malfunctioned and he got away.
Drat!
I stick my tongue out at the pesky roadrunner.
Plan B involves ropes, I’ll let you know how that pans out.
I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween! Be Spooktacular!

After the timber frames arrived for Trooper’s new Post and Beam house the other day I was anxiously waiting to see what the finished product would look like. So when I arrived at the farm I was thrilled to see that the crew had managed to get most of the beams into place.
Trooper’s house made me feel so teeny tiny – something I have grown quite accustomed to over the years.
As the sun began to set I noticed that the construction crew had left something behind.
Souvenir pegs from the construction of the beams – extra short, just how I like them!
I made the obvious selection and I’m currently keeping it under my bed – to emerge when Trooper decides to taunt me and I can say “Look what I have, and you can’t have it”!
