Because sleep is highly underrated, I couldn’t leave you hanging this month without sharing my new collection of places that I like to sleep. Here’s a few of my napping spots from the past month…
Kinda gives you that groggy feeling doesn’t it? Can you spot the item that shows up the most in all of my napping pictures? (hint: it’s black and yellow*)

I have a secret to tell you about my parents. Something that not everyone knows……they have GREEN THUMBS!
And apparently not the good kind of green thumbs…because they’re experts at growing weeds! Yes, it’s true. My landscaping at home was looking a little sad. But don’t worry, this year I whipped my parents into shape and helped them add a little curb appeal to our home.
It was no easy task though, and took a lot of effort on my part – including trips to Lowes.
Many, many trips to Lowes!
And trips to Terrain for inspiration.
Trips to the garden center for plants.
And then the hard work really began. In case you’re wondering, yes I did actually work…
But after all that hard work, my yard was looking a bit more presentable.
So presentable in fact that I’m sure all the neighbor dogs are just lined up waiting to “mark it”.
I’ve got my eye on you neighbor dogs! I’ve got my E..Y..E.. on you.
Does your dog help with the gardening too?
You may have caught my struggles over the last few months on the saga that is the Dachshund Life Struggle. And if you follow along with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, then likely you may have already seen many of the Dachshund Life Struggles.
Who would have thought that this adventure of being a dachshund would be so struggle riddled! So here’s what I’ve been struggling with this past month…
In case you missed any struggles, be sure to check them all out on my blog. You can keep following along with me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to see more #dachshundlifestruggle and if you’ve got a struggle to add be sure to let me know!
P.S. Don’t forget to share my struggles with all your friends…..we have to spread the word about how hard it is to be a dachshund these days!

And now onto my April Adventures…
I kicked off April by sharing some special photographs of my mom’s of the dogs that came before me.
I announced my upcoming appearance at the Ryerss Family Fun Day this Summer with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony.
I strutted around some sweet collars from K9 Couture Collars.
I shared my Easter escapades which included hunting for Easter eggs!
I shared a collection of all the places I love to sleep.
I got in the bathtub with Wag and Ramble.
I shared another collection of my dachshund life struggles.
Trooper and I hosted some special guests on the farm.
Trooper and I shared our newest accessories from Wares for Bears.
I got duped by a FAKE rabbit hole!
Trooper and I got ready for Spring by shedding our winter coats.
I shared the new secret my mom has for a good nights sleep with the ThermoSiv Heated Pet Bed.
I had the best time ever with a simple bed sheet.
I got a new carpet. I bet you can’t guess what I did on it.
April just flew by! It’s already starting to get really warm here in Pennsylvania and I’m so excited for May because I have a big trip planned for the end of the month to BlogPaws!
You may have caught my posts over the last few months on the saga that is the Dachshund Life Struggle. And if you follow along with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, then likely you may have already seen many of the Dachshund Life Struggles.
But guess what, it didn’t stop there, because the struggle of being a Dachshund never ends. So here’s what I’ve been struggling with this past month…
In case you missed any struggles, be sure to check them all out on my blog. You can keep following along with me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to see more #dachshundlifestruggle and if you’ve got a struggle to add be sure to let me know!

Dogs tend to sleep between 12 – 14 hours a day, and considering that makes up the majority of our day, we sometimes have to get a little creative with our napping spots. It could get quite boring if you slept the same way hour after hour, so I like to vary it up a little each time. So here’s a collection of some of my favorite ways to take a nap throughout the day!
As you see this could go on and on forever – but then I wouldn’t get any naps in!
What’s your dog’s favorite place to sleep? And if you need any new ones to add to your dog’s resume, check out my post of creative napping spots at work.
Bubble Wrap = Fun. I’m pretty sure we can all agree with that!
Have you bubble wrapped today?
I bet you didn’t know I LOVE party balloons. Well it’s true, I thoroughly enjoy channeling my inner attack dog and going after that sucker until it pops! Just see for yourself…
Does your dog love or loathe balloons?
I’ve got some exciting news! Recently I found out that I’m a finalist in the BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Awards for the Best Dog Blog & Best Pet Blog Photo.
It’s enough to make me feel like a celebrity!
What makes the Nose-to-Nose awards a little different is that this is the only pet industry awards on which pet bloggers and micro-bloggers are judged on the expertise, performance, and creativity of their blog. Each category is judged by a distinguished panel of professionals, and not by popular vote. So don’t worry I won’t be begging for votes (not that I’ve ever been a fan of that anyway), now begging for cookies, that’s another story!
Oh gosh, I can just feel the love!
The best part is that winners will be revealed in an exclusive red carpet ceremony at the BlogPaws Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee at the end of May.
I’m already excitedly making some plans so I can hopefully take a week-long road trip to attend the event. Which is great news for you too, because that means when I get back from my trip I’ll have a whole SLEW of adventures to share with you! You know, like where the best trees to pee on in Tennessee are, and what kind of squirrels they have in Virginia….the important stuff.
So if you know of any great dog friendly spots that I can stop and see on my road trip in a couple of months let me know in the comments below! I can’t wait!
AND THAT’S NOT ALL….
Details below are brought to you by Barkbox and contain affiliate links. But don’t worry, all opinions are entirely my own and I wouldn’t be telling you about Barkbox if I didn’t love them as much as I do!
If that weren’t enough good news…..I’ve got even more! Barkbox is having a Spring Bark Celebration this month with some extra goodies just for you! Woohoo #SpringBark2015
Use code AMMO5 on any new Barkbox subscription from now until March 15th and you’ll receive 1 FREE MONTH + get an additional month FREE FOR A FRIEND! (Because Spring Bark is more fun with friends!).
And let me tell you, a subscription to Barkbox is enough to give your pup a total #springbarkhangover!
I’ll catch you all later after I recover from my Barkbox hangover!
You may have caught my post last month on the saga that is the Dachshund Life Struggle. And if you follow along with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, then likely you may have already seen many of the Dachshund Life Struggles.
Being a Dachshund is so-dang-hard that you didn’t think it would end right there now did you? No, the struggle continues – and something tells me there are even more to come!
P.S. This one required a video to go along with it, and you can check that out on my youtube channel.
