The Adventures of Rocket Dog

Ever since my mom made me my very own rocket pack I’ve been itching to have some Halloween adventures! So it was just my luck when we hosted a SUPER HERO Halloween party at my house last weekend.

I of course dressed up as Rocket Dog, complete with my led glowdoggie collar too!

And I think mom was jealous of my rocket pack, so she made herself one too and dressed up as the Rocketeer.

Dad on the other hand went the more obscure route and dressed up as Captain Hindsight (honestly no one was really sure who he was). In hindsight he probably should have been something everyone was more familiar with. hehe.

Of course I had to invite my best friend Trooper to the party. And wouldn’t you know he dressed up as his favoritest Super Hero of all…..ME!

I spent most of the evening contemplating when my big adventure might happen and just at the right moment I rocketed out the front door with my rocket pack when mom and dad weren’t looking. hehe.

All the super heroes at my party went running through the neighborhood trying to catch me as I zoomed about with my rocket pack. Mom says thankfully they were able to spot me easily with my glowdoggie collar on and Captain Hindsight (aka dad) jumped in a briar bush after me. Sadly I snagged my rocket pack on something in the woods and my amazing Halloween adventure came to an abrupt end.

I was pretty bummed about losing my rocket pack, but atleast it was fun while it lasted!

I’ll always remember you rocket pack and the fun times we had!

Epic Battle

Me and Trooper were hanging out at the farm last night, picking up leftover grain under the feed tubs, when we suddenly remembered we had something really important to do.

We had an epic battle to attend to….of Jedi vs. Jedi in an ultimate lightsaber battle of wits!

Let the battle begin!

It was pretty intense, so I had to take frequent refueling breaks at the water bowl. A Jedi can’t fight thirsty afterall.

The battle lasted for hours…although we could have gone on for days. But in the end….

….somehow we both ended up snuggled next to each other on the couch. Honestly, I have no idea how we got there – it must have been one EPIC battle!

 

Birthday Week: More Gifts!

Just when I thought there were no more presents to be had during Birthday week I got an extra special surprise in the mail all the way from Canada!

Leila & Harriet from Glowdoggie sent me one of their new neon green mini collars for my Birthday! Aren’t they so sweet. And they must have known how much of a spoiled sport Trooper is too, because they sent one along for him too.

I’m pretty certain that we will be playing “star wars” with our new “light sabers” out on the farm very very soon.

So thanks girls! I’m sending some wet nose kisses your way!

Glow-tastic!

When nasty Hurricane Irene came blowing through my town a few weeks ago it was lights out at my house for a little while. And when I posted a picture of me playing board games in the dark on my facebook page, my pals over at Glowdoggie decided to help a pal out!

So, when my Glowdoggie LED collar arrived a few weeks later, I did what any dog with a super cool new waterproof led light-up safety collar would do….

…Fashion Show!

Sorry, I know, that was kinda girly of me – so to redeem myself I made sure to also take some photos in my rough and tumble lifestyle. (aka the farm). And just because I enjoy a good fashion show doesn’t make me any less of a farm dog!

I have to admit, I look pretty dashing in red, and this thing is just MEANT for adventurous dogs like me!

Mom says that since the sun will be setting sooner I’m going to have to wear my glowdoggie collar every evening out on the farm to keep me safe.

Did you know that the Glowdoggie collar is German engineered? Which pretty much means it was totally designed for me, you know, because Dachshunds are German.

So far I was digging my new Glowdoggie collar, but there was really only one way to put it to the test.

I had to take it down a groundhog hole!!

Now that I have a light to show me the way I am a much more efficient digger.

And those groundhogs are gonna have no idea what hit them!

If you can’t tell by the look on my face, I’m one happy ground-hog hunting dog, and the Glowdoggie collar passed my rigorous hole burrowing test!
