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*)

Things got yummy when I tested out some cookies from the Martha Stewart Pets Treat Shop.
I proved that us dachshunds have a lot of struggles going on in our lives with a new set of my Dachshund Life Struggles.
I shared how I helped my mom and dad will all the gardening around the house this Spring.
I tested out some new Spring Apparel from one of my favorite shops, Penn + Pooch.
I shared a video of how happy a field of buttercups can make me!
I announced that I have Spring Allergies (don’t we all), and shared what my mom does to help me with my sniffles.
I tested out a remedy for dry pet noses.
I set out on a week long road trip and shared some of the new adventure gear in my shop.
And that pretty much completes my May adventures! Now that summer is just about here, you better believe I’ll be heading out and about for even more fun in the sun! What are you looking forward to doing with your dog this summer?
Last month I posted a collection of some of my favorite places to sleep. You guys seemed to love it so much that I couldn’t leave it at that. So incase you thought I already had a huge compilation of napping positions and spots…..you haven’t seen anything yet! Boring is not in my vocabulary, so without further ado, here’s my napping spots this past month…
And if you’re wondering where my all-time favorite spot to nap is just check out this post from last year about where I love to lay my head.
Where is your dog’s favorite spot to nap?
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.

Disclaimer : This is a sponsored post and giveaway brought to you by Peach Industries.
My new friends over at Peach Industries recently sent me one of their Park It Mats to take for a spin. The Park It Mat and travel bag is designed to be a travel friendly mat for your dog!
Ideal for dog friendly dining, picnics at the park, group training sessions, and anywhere else you can take your best friend.
With several fun designs and patterns (mine is the Surf set) each mat comes with a handy travel bag and shoulder strap so you can take it everywhere you go! It also has a little pocket and ring on the front so you can stash keys, wallets, and of course treats for your pup!
Each mat comes in 2 sizes, Medium or Large (but custom sizing is available), and the underside is even water resistant making it perfect for outdoor use as well.
I found the mat to be the perfect spot to take an afternoon snooze under my favorite tree!
Mom really liked the idea of training me to use the mat to “park myself” when we were out and about (like at a restaurant).
In fact, I even took my new Park It Mat on an adventure over the weekend.
It turned out to be the perfect thing to line the bottom of the shopping cart when I decided to make a pit-stop at the dog friendly home improvement store in my town.
The Park It Mat made it so I didn’t have to stand on the wire bottom of the cart and made the ride much more enjoyable.
Happy puppy smiles all around!
So if you’re looking for the perfect companion for all of your dog’s adventures, I highly recommend the Park It Mat from Peach Industries!
You can even save 25% off your entire order with code ParkYourPup

Sometimes I like to find a nice sunny spot to dose in for an enjoyable afternoon nap.
Afternoon naps are simply the best, but as I slowly begin to awake….
…I come face to face with the lens of a camera!
Frankly it’s a bit creepy!
And I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather awake to a big bowl of dog cookies!
I bet you have that one favorite spot in your house. The spot where the couch dips in just right and the sun warms your back and you could just nap there for hours. Yeah, I have that spot at my house too.
All that’s missing is someone to hand feed me cookies and massage my back.
I guess a boy can dream can’t he?
Where is your dog’s favorite spot to nap?
It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Throwback Thursday on the blog, so I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane today!
Back when I was just a wee pup my pal Trooper used to come to the shop to “babysit” me everyday. While I did get in my fair share of puppy antics, Trooper and I also did a whole lot of napping together……
You gotta love a best friend that will let you use him as a pillow!

Did you ever just want to curl up and take a nap on the fluffiest, softest thing you can find? Well thanks to my pals at Kentucky Bluebird, your search for the fluffiest napping spot is over!
Kentucky Bluebird kindly sent me over one of their 100% certified organic canvas dog beds to take for a spin, and let me tell you, this thing is like napping on a cloud! The insides of these beds are stuffed with recycled polyester fill, and are securely stitched into place – so even the most powerful diggers (ahem, me) can’t tear them apart.
I was sent a 28″ x 18″ bed in fern green, but these beds come in lots of sizes and 9 different colors, and can even be custom made to any size you need.
My Kentucky Bluebird bed fit perfectly into a dog kennel that I already owned.
Don’t have a kennel? These can just as easily be used as dog bed in any room, and I even think it would be great to travel with as it’s just big enough for me to curl up on but not too big to take up a ton of space.
As you can see it’s 6″ of fluff was so comfortable that I had trouble even keeping my eyes open long enough for mom to take pictures.
Mom even caught me napping in my crate several times over the past few weeks with this fluffy bed. And if you know me, you know this is VERY RARE, because I don’t particularly love being in crates.
**UPDATE** Save 10% on your next Kentucky Bluebird purchase with code ONLINEAD!
And now for the best part…
ONE Lucky WINNER will WIN a Fern Green 28″ x 18″ Bed from Kentucky Bluebird (the perfect size for dachshunds)
