Since I spend a lot of my time on the family horse farm I couldn’t help but fall in love with these horse blanket style dog coats from Off The Wall Designs on Etsy. If you’re an equestrian lover at heart you’re going to love these…

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.

As you know Easter was this past Sunday. It’s one of my favorite holidays – as holidays that involve a bunny always make the top of my list! Alas though, when I woke up Sunday morning it seems I had just missed Mr. Bunny.
But don’t worry, because the very special BarkBox Bunny never seems to miss my house, and this year was no exception. Check out the fun video of me diving into my Easter Basket:
That Barkbox Bunny knows just what kind of goodies I love!
After opening my basket I packed up and headed over to my mom-mom’s house where I was put in charge of hiding the easter eggs for all of my cousins (on account of I’m very good at finding hiding spots – mostly of the hole variety!).
That’s right, they’ll never find this one!
My cousins are pretty good at finding easter eggs, but I couldn’t let them have all the fun!
Too bad all the eggs I found had jelly beans in them….yuck!
After the egg hunt it was time for dinner. Unfortunately my family forgot to set a place for me at the table! Can you believe it! Don’t worry though, I found the perfect spot to look pathetic and got handed plenty of little nibbles.
And after I was nice and stuffed one of my cousins volunteered to take me for a walk. I burned off all those calories in a matter of minutes hunting for more easter bunnies!
How did you spend your Easter with your dog?
P.S. If your pup missed out on the BarkBox Bunny, don’t worry, you have until April 10th to get your dog a box of goodies in the mail this month. And don’t forget to use code AMMO5 for an awesome 10% off your order!
Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by K9 Couture Collars. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.
My new friends at K9 Couture Collars recently sent me some new collars to update my wardrobe.
At K9 Couture Collars they believe that just like shoes, you can never have too many collars! And I have to say I totally agree with this. As a dog, who wants to wear the same collar everyday? Certainly not me, I have too much fashion sense for that.
Everything they make is hand picked, assembled and hand sewn by them.
And the designs – they have so many! Tons of styles and colors and if you don’t see what you’re looking for you can even request something custom.
Most of their collars are made with a thick nylon webbing and fabric overlay, and you can choose the collar width you prefer for your dog. You can tell each stitch is done with the utmost of care! They have many different styles and can come with plastic buckles or metal buckles and with a choice of standard buckle or martingale options.
Personally I adore this gold metal buckle collar in mint julep. My mom prefers the metal buckles as they seem to be much sturdier and stronger. And at K9 Couture you can choose whichever options you prefer best for your own dog’s collar.
I haven’t seen many collars on the market with gold hardware, and this one just screams….I’m fancy and I know it!
So if you’re looking to add a little variety to your own dog’s wardrobe then you might want to check out K9 Couture Collars.
You can even head over and like them on Facebook for a 20% discount off your next order!
And now for the best part….

Are you drooling as much as I am? You can fetch these products and more from FILLYDOG CO on Etsy.
Disclaimer: this is not a sponsored post, nor do I own any of these items. Just simply wanted to share what I was digging this week!
In the 6 years that I have known my mom and dad it’s hard for me to imagine that before I came along there were other dogs. Like lots of other dogs! Crazy right?
Well ok, technically I’m the very first dog for my dad, but my mom….she’s had many adventures with the dogs before me. So today since it’s #throwbackthursday I thought it would be fun to share some of those dogs that came before me. Because you know what, I’m not so different from them.
My mom started her love of dogs at a very young age. Here she is with one of the firsts, a rescue dog named Deacon.
If you fast forward to 1991 – my mom’s family rescued Sneakers. She was a golden mix, and if you look closely you can see her two front paws were white, as if she was wearing sneakers. She went on to be a 4-H dog and even earned her Canine Good Citizen certification.
But see, my mom loved dogs so much that she wanted a dog to call her very own. So after years of pleading she became the owner of her very first dog, a rescued black labrador retriever named Big Jack Attack. (Jack for short).
My mom tells me stories of how Jack was a big lovable bear. He literally would attack you for kisses when you came in the door (sounds a little bit like me too). The more stories I hear about my mom’s life with Jack, the more I can’t help but think we were pretty darn similar.
Jack loved the snow, and to go sledding – just like me!
He loved to channel his inner cowboy, just like me.
Jack even loved ponies, just like me. (above he’s pictured with my mom’s childhood pony, Oopsie Daisy).
Jack loved adventure, and loved nothing more than to spend time on the water – just like me (and my spastic swimming pal Trooper).
Jack had fashionable rain gear, just like me.
Jack didn’t mind bundling up in the snow, just like me.
He had a great hair stylist, just like me.
Jack was an expert for posing for mom’s photographs, just like me.
While Jack passed away in 2006, I know that his memory continues to live on in many of the things that I still do today. I only wish I could have met him, because something tells me we would have been great friends.
There are many many more stories I could share about the dogs before me, but we’ll have to save that for another time. Now it’s your turn to tell me, what sort of fun memories did you have of your beloved furry friends?

And now onto my March Adventures…
I kicked off March with a review of the new Ruffwear Haul Bag.
Trooper and I shared some photos of what life is like in the winter on the farm.
I shared Rejeneril, the proclaimed “fountain of youth” for pets!
I shared more of my Dachshund Life Struggle series….because the struggle never ends!
I shared some details about my next big adventure!
I shared how I am keeping my paws moisturized this winter.
I shared a fun video of me and a party balloon.
I shared my tips on how my mom trained me to load myself in the car everyday.
I shared some great tips on how you can crate train your adult dog.
I tested out some cute coats from the Savvy Dachshunds Boutique.
I shared a video of me enjoying some bubble wrap.
I made sure I’m always the center of attention on photoshoots.
I reviewed this adorable snood from Snug-A-Bull (which you can still enter to win one for your own dog this week!).
March has been so much fun, I can hardly wait for the weather to warm up even more so I can have lots more fun. Here’s to playing in the rain, getting muddy, digging holes (and landing in the bath) this Spring! Yippee!
What are you looking forward to this Spring?
Disclosure: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Snug-A-Bull. I only share products that I think my readers will love, and all opinions are entirely my own.
Today I have a really fun product to share with you that I think you (and your dog) are going to LOVE. The cute little hand knit item above is a snood from the talented Angela at Snug-A-Bull.
Just what exactly is a snood? Well essentially it’s a neck warmer and a hood for dogs that’s all wrapped in to one.
What’s a little different about the Snug-A-Bull snoods is that they can even come with these cute little ear holes to make sure they stay put on your dog.
You may have also noticed that my snood from Snug-A-Bull came personalized with my name on it. All their snoods can be personalized with not only names, but custom colors and sometimes even patterns too!
I even noticed on their website that they can ADD cute little fleece ears to their snoods (think adorable bear like hood on your pup) – I just might have to pick up one of those someday, because we all know I look fantastic dressed as wild animals.
My dark green and teal snood from Snug-A-Bull has come in handy lately, because even though it’s supposed to be Spring in Pennsylvania it’s still quite cold here (and we even got snow on the First Day of Spring!).
A fun little fact about Snug-A-Bull, their shop mascots are named Bruce Wayne and Alfred. As a dog who loves everything super heroes himself….that’s just so cool!
By shopping at Snug-A-Bull you can also help the animal rescues! This month all sales are benefiting the Alive Animal Rescue.
And now for the best part….
