It’s everyone’s favorite time of the month….time for me to sleep my way through this blog post! Here’s where I’ve been laying my head this past month….
Which spot would you be sleeping in if you were me?
December has always been a whirlwind for me. Mostly because mom and I are always super busy at the shop fulfilling all the Christmas orders. You might even say I’m an elf during the month of December! But even though I spent some extra time working, I still managed to fit in some fun adventures too.
First though, let me give a shoutout to my special sponsors & affiliates! Thanks to them I’m able to bring you exciting posts, so make sure you give them some love and check out what great products they carry!
Barkbox is a monthly subscription service for your dog. Starting as low as $19 a month (shipping included) you can get a box of the finest treats and toys sent right to your front door every month! Choose from packages for small, medium, and large dogs and as a bonus 10% of their sales go to supporting rescue groups! You can check out just what goodies your dog could be getting every month by reading my reviews!
Ruffwear carries performance dog gear designed to enhance and inspire outdoor adventures for dogs and their human companions. Totally my kind of company that carries anything from dog hiking packs, harnesses, camping essentials and more! You can check out my review of their dog boots (that even work for dachshund’s too) as well as the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler to keep your pup cool in the summer and one of my favorites, the Ruffwear Front Range Harness!
And now it’s 2016! Holy cow, where did the year go? I’m looking forward to what 2016 has to bring, and can’t wait to share my new adventures with you! Stay tuned!
I hope you all have the merriest of Christmases! I’m taking a little blogging break between now and New Years to catch up on all my sleep. But I’ll be back in 2016 with more adventures to share!
It’s crunch time for me and my mom this week at the shop, so I’ve got my very best helper hat on and I’m busy busy helping mom finish up all the picture framing orders.
So I don’t have a fun video, or a long adventure post, or even any pictures of me on the farm to share today…..just little old me in my very best helper hat.
It’s a very important job being a helper dog, and I hope you’ll understand that today all my helper duties are being used at the shop!
Until my next adventure that is! See you soon. xoxo,
Every year I take an annual picture on good old St. Nick’s lap. Since I was 8 weeks old I haven’t missed a chance to whisper in Santa’s ear all the goodies I’d like him to bring me under the tree (because we all know I’m always super good and would NEVER deserve coal).
And Santa, incase you’re reading this, it definitely wasn’t me that opened up all those Christmas packages that were sitting at my front door last week. I’m pretty sure we have a squirrel on the rampage!
This year for my annual Santa visit I visited the mall! It’s not every day that us dogs get to visit such a shopping establishment (although if it were up to me dogs would definitely be allowed in the mall all the time!).
I’m pretty sure I made all the other dogs jealous with my awesome Christmas gear (which by the way you can snag one of these super cool handmade holiday pet hats from my friend on etsy), and Santa even commented that I looked like I should be working in the North Pole! How cool!
Now Santa and me are BFF’s, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he took me for a sleigh ride on Christmas Eve. Now if I could only figure out what to wear…..
It’s time once again for an installment of my popular sleeping series! Yay! This past month there was a major theme going on….and it’s called Ammo needs a pillow for Christmas!
It’s a real struggle over here with all my inadequate napping spots. Which one was your favorite this month?
It’s the best day ever! It’s time to share my monthly round-up of all the fabulous places I’ve been sleeping the past 4 weeks in my Oh The Places You Sleep Series.
As it starts to get cooler in Pennsylvania you’ll notice I’m doing a lot more blanket snuggling, and curling up. Before you know it I’ll need to break out my heat lamp to keep warm during my napping sessions!
I’m so excited to share with you my latest project for my online shop, Flying Hero!
Due to your feedback, I’ve created my brand new 2016 Calendar in a new size and all new images!
Even though in today’s World everyone has calendars and organizers on their phones, it’s still nice to have a happy little calendar to hang on your wall.
And there’s nothing happier than looking at my face every single day!
My 2016 Calendar measures 6″ w x 12″ h and comes punched with a hole for easy hanging on your wall or cork board. (each photo of the calendar measures 6″ x 6″).
The very best part though? I will be DONATING $5 from every sale to the Chester County SPCA. Yay for helping animal rescues!
Each month features a different photograph of me and all photos are printed professionally on archival quality paper. At the end of the year/month the photos would be great for framing and hanging on your wall. (you know if you can’t get enough of me!)
Currently I’m taking pre-orders, and they will begin shipping just after Thanksgiving – with plenty of time for Holiday Gifts!
You can snag one of my 2016 Calendars from my online shop, but hurry, there are limited quantities of these and once they sell out I won’t have any more!
A few weekends ago my mom and dad decided to take me on a fun adventure to the Delaware Beaches. And you know what that means? There are going to be a bazillion photos of me running like a crazy dog on the beach in this post!
Now if you have followed my blog for a while, then you may already know that I LOVE the beach! While I’m not so much a fan of the ocean per-say, I am a fan of the sand. Digging, rolling, and running in it are my idea of a good time.
Despite the fact that it was a little bit chilly, you can tell by the smile on my face just how happy being at the beach made me!
I spent some time relaxing on the beach, and then set out on a late afternoon walk.
It wasn’t long before my parents finally unhooked the leash so I could run as much as my heart desired!
And run I did!
If you’ve ever wondered how I keep such a fit figure….this is how! I was built to run!
After some running I decided it might be nice to cool off in the water. Good thing I found it to be a bit too chilly for me, because you’ll never guess what I found in one of the tide pools!
Oh yes! That’s a small shark right there (with sadly a hook & bobber stuck on him) in one of the beach tide pools.
Dad and I desperately wanted to capture the shark and help remove that hook and send him back out to sea….but of course mom was worried one of us would get an arm or leg bit off! So needless to say we were left hoping that the tide would come in that night and take him back out to see for more shark adventures!
And then it was back to more running on the beach…baywatch style! Of course the daredevil in me ran a little bit close to the water, just enough to make mom worry that the shark was gonna get me!
(P.S. Don’t worry, that shark was safely in another tide pool and I was in no real danger, but it’s fun to pretend!)
After all that running I was pretty pooped! But when mom and dad said it was time to pack up and head back home, I was a little sad.
Don’t worry though, I made sure to bring a little of that beach smell home with me! Nothing quite like a nose full of sand.
Does your dog love the beach as much as I do? Do you ever let your dog run off leash? (P.S. I’m only allowed off leash when mom and dad are sure I’m in the listening mood, as you know sometimes us dachshunds decide we don’t feel like obeying!)
It’s interesting how my sleeping habits change with the seasons. You’ll notice in this next installment of “Oh The Places You Sleep” that I’m not sleeping outside as much now that the weather has cooled, and I’ve gotten much more creative in where I’m finding warmth! I’m sure you’re going to love this month’s napping spots!
