Fashion Show! compliments of Bullseye

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Ammo

So today when I got to work there was a surprise package for me waiting at the shop. I’m no stranger to getting mail at the shop, but this was an unexpected package.

When I opened it up it was filled with goodies from the Polka Dog Bakery at Target! And there was a letter from Bullseye the Target Dog saying he noticed my post online and wanted to send me a couple of his favorite Polka Dog Products.

I was totally blushing that Bullseye even knew my name!! And then I realized there was really only one thing to do when a package of goodies arrives at the shop……FASHION SHOW!

Somehow Bullseye knew that all the Polka Dog products would match perfectly with my Super Hero Cape too.

Of course I broke into the box of cookies before anything else!

Every Super Hero needs to accessorize and these Polka Dog items are just so fun and vibrant that they make me the happiest Hero around.

The Polka Dog Bakery at Target

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Ammo

It’s no secret that I love to shop (who doesn’t?), and I’m always so excited when I find a super cool new product or shop.

Recently Target stores across the country launched The Shops, which is a collection of products from local boutique stores like Cos Bar, Privet House, The Candy Store, The Webster, and my personal favorite The Polka Dog Bakery. So just like any good dog mom, my mom headed to Target yesterday to check it out for me while I waited in the car (since sadly I couldn’t sneak in myself). Each store varies in their merchandise, but you can check out most of their collection online.

Of course just scoping out the new products isn’t enough – you have to physically test the merchandise!

So mom came home with a Dog Toy and a box of cookies for me to try.

If you can’t tell by the look on my face, it was a glorious day!

My ice cream sandwich may have not tasted like the real thing, but it was fantastic just the same.

Not only did it squeak, but it was filled with stuffing too!

I eventually broke a hole in my ice cream sandwich, so it doesn’t squeak anymore – but it’s still just as fun to play with. Plus, mom says I look super adorable when I nibble on it.

Later mom let me snack on some of the Polka Dog Bakery treats, which were an all-natural chicken flavor.

They get an A++ from me for yumminess! In fact, I’m so in love with my Polka Dog Bakery items that I’m already trying to convince mom to raid all of the Target’s in my area for more fun items from the collection.

Anyone else spot fun items from The Polka Dog Bakery at their local Target? You can post your finds on my Facebook page so we can all drool over their fabulous items!

P.S. Dear Target & The Polka Dog Bakery, if you are reading this, I am more than happy to test all of your merchandise! It would be a big time commitment, but I’m willing to dedicate myself to the cause! 😉

Dirt, Tunnels, and Spring-time Baths

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Ammo

Sometimes I’m completely perplexed as to how I land myself in the bathtub at the end of the day. However, this was not one of those times.

See last week the ponies had a new “obstacle” set up in the arena that I just couldn’t keep my paws off of.

It’s enticing “dirtiness” and tunneling capabilities were just calling my name.

And when Boomerang pointed out that I had a little something on my face – I knew my trip to the bathtub was inevitable.

Sigh. At least smelling like sunshine again isn’t all that bad.

Little Super Hero on the Wall

You might remember that for Christmas I got a special little gift card from my Mom & Dad to get a custom painting of myself from Yellow Brick Home. Well, a few days ago a little package arrived at my door from the very talented Kim Vargo.

I couldn’t believe how much it looked like me! Mom says she even captured the special feisty little look in my eyes.

After modeling for a few photos with Mom and sending Kim some of my favorites from years past, I was so excited to see the results. Kim even said I was the very first Super Hero she got to paint! (I’m the cutest too, right?)

Mom hung it up in my home office for me, and I really can’t help but stare at it all day long!

Oh handsome little hero on the wall – you are just way too cool!

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!)

*I was not paid or perk’d to write this post – I’m just super super excited about my new portrait!
