Friday Fetch: Squeaky Dog Toys with a Mute Button
I don’t know about you, but personally I love a good squeak toy. Something about that ear piercing sound just gets my tail wagging. Now Mom and Dad, they sort of have a love/hate relationship with my squeaky toys. They love that they make me happy but sometimes wish I wouldn’t do all that squeaking, especially when an episode of the Big Bang Theory is on.
So when I stumbled upon these fun toys from Kong that feature an on/off button for the squeaker I knew that they were a perfect compromise.
You can fetch your own Kong on/off Squeaker Dog Toy from Petsmart for around $10.
5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Pet
You all know I love a good DIY project, and when it takes less then 5 minutes and requires no sewing (for my mom who is not so handy with a needle and thread) it’s just an added bonus!
So for Easter this year my mom helped me whip up some quick DIY Bowties that I can wear when all my family comes to visit on Sunday. They’re so fun and easy to make that I can’t even decide which one to wear!
5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Pet
What you need:
- Scissors or Rotary cutter
- Ruler
- Fabric
- Iron (optional)
Step 1: Cut a long rectangular piece of fabric (Mom cut mine 5″ x 19″ to make my small bow tie). The longer and wider you make your rectangle the bigger your bow tie will be. You will also want to cut a thinner strip of fabric, mine was 2″ x 19″, to be used later.
Step 2: Using your large rectangular piece of fabric fold in the edges. You can use an iron to crease the folds if need be.
Step 3: Next fold your ends towards the center so that they just overlap where the center mark would be.
Step 4: Fold the entire piece of fabric in half.
Step 5: With the front of your bowtie facing you, crease it into 3 even pleats. Then place a clothespin on it to hold it in place while you move to the next step.
Step 6: Using the small strip of fabric you cut, fold in the edges.
Step 7: Wrap the thin strip of fabric around your bowtie and tie in a double knot in the back.
Step 8: Tie your Bowtie around one of your dogs collars, trimming any excess fabric if need be.
You’re now ready for an Easter Party!
Now if I could only decide which one to wear!
P.S. I expect to see lots of dogs in dapper bowties this Easter! Post your dog in their best bowtie on my Facebook wall so we can enjoy them all!
Easter Egg Hunt for the Dogs
Easter is this weekend, so mom decided we could have a little pre-Easter fun by having an Easter Egg Hunt!
Incase you didn’t want to miss out on the fun either, here’s what you’ll need to have your very own Dog Friendly Easter Egg Hunt:
- Plastic Easter Eggs
- Small Dog Treats
- An excited Pup that’s ready to hunt for eggs!
Simply fill your eggs with the treats and place them around the house or yard for your dog to find.
You can also use the egg hunt as a way to work on some training. Asking your dog to sit and wait before hunting for the eggs helps them learn patience.
Make sure to supervise your pet during the egg hunt, as you will have to help them open the eggs once found (it’s those cumbersome paws)! Also be sure to make sure they don’t chew on the eggs, as they can break easily.
Next time I think I’ll have to invite my friends over to partake in all the fun!
Happy Easter!
A is for Ammo
Lately I’ve been noticing that my Super Hero outfit is lacking a little something something.
So I sent mom on an errand to pick me up some bling, and she came back with some fantastic choices. The only problem is, I can’t decide which one I like best! So I need your help to decide which bling I should adorn my Super Hero outfit with?
So what do you think, which letter A is the one for me? Leave your vote in the comments and I’ll let everyone know which one is the winner next week!
Weekend with Ammo
Now that mom is no longer confined to crutches, my weekends are starting to include lots of fun activities again. Here’s a little look into what I was up to this weekend…
Sunbathing at the shop with my gal pal Liebe!
Playing dress-up with some of the new jewelry at the shop.
Inspecting Trooper’s new house.
And hanging out with some of my favorite friends on the farm!
What did you do this weekend?
Throwback Thursday: Supermodel in Training
Starting at just a few weeks old I was already in training to becoming an international supermodel.
With a camera shoved in my face 24/7 (thanks mom!), I was learning how to look oh so sexy for the camera.
It wasn’t that hard actually, because I was (and am) adorable…..
….even when I’m sleeping!
Laundry Day
When laundry day rolls around at my house I like to do everything I can to help out.
Ok, well mostly I just enjoy laying in a pile of clean warm clothes…..but who doesn’t?
More clean laundry please!
Farm Duty
Sometimes when we are out on the farm my buddy Trooper tends to be a little bit of a lost soul. He mopes around with that towel in his mouth, unsure about what to do next.
But Trooper is a herding dog, so I know when he has his towel he just really needs to be put to work. So lucky for him I’m an expert at putting my buddy to work.
All I have to do is point Trooper towards the ponies and he’s stuck to them like glue.
Well, at least until he gets tired – so that’s why I have to keep my eyes on him at all times and make sure he keeps working.
Now that my Trooper babysitting duties are fulfilled I can get back to what I really love to do on the farm!
Digging Digging Digging!
Popovich Comedy Pet Theater
Over the weekend my mom and dad went to a very special event (which I was not invited to – the nerve) called the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater. It sounded like so much fun that I thought I would share their adventure with everyone, even if I didn’t get to see it with my own eyes either.
The World Famous Popovich Comedy Pet Theater is a family-oriented blend of the unique comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich, and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets. Each of the show’s 15 cats and 10 dogs were once strays, rescued from animal shelters. Now they love to show off onstage – by performing a variety of stunts and skits!
The event that my mom and dad attended also helped to raise money for the local SPCA by donating a dollar from every ticket to the shelter.
This amazing event featured lots of dogs and cats performing fun and exciting stunts, and they even had a whole act just with dachshunds!
I’m sad to have missed it myself, but glad that mom and dad were able to go and support the rescue animals. Mom even said it gave her some ideas to add to my own stunt dog act which I will be performing at the end of April to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. You can read more about that HERE.
If you’d like to see if the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater will be in your area you can check out their tour dates HERE.
