I was browsing through some of my favorite online pet product retailers the other day when I stumbled across a line of modern dog bowls that are simply to die for. So I rounded up a few of my favorites from Waggo that I’m sure you’ll love.
I’m especially loving the chalkboard bowl and treat container – it holds a special place in my heart! Just check out the giant chalkboard canvas in my house!
You can fetch any of the fabulous modern dog bowls I’ve shared at Waggo!
P.S. A super happy shout out to my mom today on her 29th Birthday! I really hope you get that modern dog bowl you’re drooling over. *wink*
A few weeks ago I announced the launch of new notepads and fun little doxie pens in my shop, which you can see HERE. Well, mom and I decided why have only two designs when you can have three!
So with a little inspiration from yours truly, we came up with the Hot Dog notepad!
Mom drew the little hot dog shape, which by the way looks so so yummy!
Even the little doxie pen looks oh so fun to play with, but I’m still perplexed at how he can snap in half like that!
You can fetch your own hot dog notepads and pens in my etsy shop HERE. Maybe you can even mail me a love note!
The day has finally come! It’s time to announce the official release of the brand-new Super Pony DVD, staring the talented Minnow from Painting Pony…..and ME!
Thanks to my talented Uncle Taylor and Depthink Productions, we began filming for the DVD this past summer, and I’m so excited that it’s finally ready to share with everyone!
Check out the DVD Trailer:
ON THIS DVD
Trainer, Kyley DiLuigi, introduces us to Super Pony, the alter ego of the talented Chincoteague Pony, Minnow! Watch as he shows us some of his favorite trick performances, many of which have been performed at expos, fairs, schools, and even the Annual Chincoteague Pony Penning. Several performances also include Minnow’s lovable sidekick, Ammo the Dachshund, as well as other members of the Painting Pony crew. In addition to 5 featured videos, this DVD also contains 2 bonus videos: a visit to Iron Horse Farm, home to the Painting Ponies; and a talk given by Kyley about everyone’s favorite Chincoteague Pony, Misty of Chincoteague.
PAINTING PONY
In 2007, Painting Pony was founded when Kyley DiLuigi decided to bring her paints from art school out to the farm where she kept her 14-year-old pony, Minnow. That cold winter day Minnow became the World’s First Painting Chincoteague Pony as he created his very first masterpiece. As it became evident that Minnow had a gift that he truly loved, the paintings he created began to pile higher and higher. Feeling the need to share Minnow’s art with the world, Kyley started PaintingPony.com and the rest is history!
You’ll get to see performances by me and Minnow as well as me and my buddy Trooper. You even get to see me paint!

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”!
Don’t freak out, we’re not talking REAL Taxidermy here (which is sort of creepy if you ask me). You may recall that I’m a HUGE art lover (I work in a frame shop, paint pictures, and hang out with some famous painting ponies), so when I discovered White Faux Taxidermy on Etsy I was in love!
Not only do they create super cute replicas of animals, but just this week they came out with a line of charming dog bust statues. Sadly they do not carry a dachshund bust yet (although the hound dog looks awfully similar), but I’m still completely smitten.
Each faux animal is cast out of a polyresin material, thus making the sculpture fairly light in weight, great for hanging or displaying. You can even have your sculptures custom painted in any color imaginable. I’ll take one of each please!
You can fetch your own animal statue from White Faux Taxidermy HERE!
So I’m totally swooning over the selection of wooden pet id tags I found at the Etsy shop, Cropscotch.
Crafted out of the highest grade woods and hardwoods on the market, our custom Pet ID tags and necklaces are laser cut, hand sanded, engraved and finished with a clear, non-toxic matte coat to ensure maximum strength, protection and weather resistance.
Cropscotch even carries a line of jewelry for your human friends to! They mention that they can create custom id tags/jewelry to fit your own personal style. I’m thinking dachshunds in super hero capes, what about you?
When Mom and Dad brought home a whole slew of boxes from their trip to Ikea over the weekend I just knew it was gonna be a great day! So we set out Sunday morning to put everything together so I could find out what wonderful goodies they had bought me.
I was extremely involved in the entire process – helping mom decipher the instructions and gathering tools.
Ok fine, that’s not really how it happened….
…but I was really tired, and it was hot, and I have these cumbersome paws. Don’t judge.
When it was finally built (thanks mom!) I was through the roof excited that the Ikea Boxes had provided a brand-new outdoor throne for me!
While on one of my many searches to find a cool and new product to show you for my Friday Fetch installment on the blog I came across a super fun site that sells some unique pet products. And because I couldn’t decide on just one item to share I decided why not share all my favorites!
Here’s the story behind the pet products sold on The Life of Ryley…
The Life of Ryley was born out of frustration! Over a decade ago, designer Tracy Stillman was trying to find a collar for her soft-coated wheaten terrier named Ryley. How could it be that no collar existed that effectively showcased Ryley’s unique personality? Much less a collar that appealed to Tracy’s level of style and sophistication? This was one spectacular duo that needed more than just an ordinary old collar.
So Tracy created her own collar just for Ryley…and from there The Life of Ryley blossomed.
The company took a little catnap for a few years. But things kicked up again when The Life of Ryley was introduced to Colin Cuneo, a business developer and dog-lover drawn to the sense of adventure and go-gettum’ attitude that dogs bring about.
Together, Tracy and Colin have brought The Life of Ryley back with a full line of products that boast style, class and quality for pet owners who understand that sensible accessories can still be fashionable accessories.
Sadly, Ryley passed on June 8, 2010. But the rebirth of this company serves as a tribute to this angel who will be forever loved.
Check out these fun products from The Life of Ryley:
Dog Agility necklace (for the humans) to keep your clicker and whistle right where you need it – such a fun idea!
Faux Bois Ceramic dog bowl, comes in white or brown
Night Owl Reflector Collar
Rugby Leash
Park Bag Necklace – a “prettier” way to carry those doggie bags to the park
You can fetch these fun products and more on The Life of Ryley Website, also be sure to check out their Facebook page!
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.
Thanks for making my day Bullseye, and you are always welcome to come over and play Super Heroes with me anytime!
