I wanted to pop in today and wish everyone a very merry St. Patrick’s Day! Yippee!
I may be German at my core, but everybody can be a redhead on St. Patrick’s Day!
So put a little jig in your step, because today’s the day for a little mischief!
And don’t worry, no matter what happens, you can always blame it on the leprechauns!

If you’re anything like me then you can smell popcorn from a mile away! As much as I love to beg for that delectable popcorn, mom says all that butter and salt really isn’t that good for me. So I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Billy & Margot, makers of fine popcorn for dogs!
Their Popcorn is air popped making it a healthier alternative which is lower in fat and in calories. Popcorn contains fiber and is 100% whole grain and also gluten free. Plain popped corn makes a healthy treat and Billy & Margot’s even adds a special seaweed seasoning which is rich in a variety of minerals, vitamins and trace nutrients.
Billy & Margot also makes other mouth watering treats such as Iced Treats and Venison Bones.
You can fetch your own doggie popcorn and other goodies from Billy & Margot HERE.
I’ve always been a little scrappy from the very beginning. It all started with the wrestling matches I shared with my best friend Trooper.
Mostly I was the instigator, and boy did we love to wrestle (and still do). But for as hard as we fight…..
….we always love each other at the end of the day!
Happy Thursday everyone!
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, so I decided to make sure I had the perfect green outfit to wear for the big day. It never hurts to be prepared.
My clover tie was looking great, but I knew it needed a little something.
Oh yes, the top hat totally makes the outfit!
I’m ready for my night on the town with my Leprechaun posse. Don’t tell mom, but we like to get into a wee bit o mischief on St. Patrick’s Day. Only 4 more days to go!
Sigh, I’m not sure I can wait that long!
Mom had a Birthday last week, and like any spoiled well loved pooch, I got presents too!

Last week I wrote about my saying (“My Hero”) that I had submitted to the Blanket ID “Significant Others” Tag Contest, and I asked you (my fans) to help my tag win by voting so that I could choose a lucky animal rescue to donate money from the sale of my tags to.
Well thanks to all of you I placed second! Which means in a few short weeks my tag will be available for purchase from Blanket ID!
As exciting as this is, I’m even more excited to announce that the rescue I have chosen to receive $3 from every sale of my tag is the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue!
Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR) is a National Non-Profit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing needy Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes from coast to coast.
Just look at some of these cuties they have available for adoption:
To see all of their available dogs visit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.
So if you’d like to be a hero just like me, then you might consider making a purchase of my Blanket ID tag once it is available (I’ll be sure to let you know). And you can also come visit me on April 21st at the Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. More details HERE.
Slap on your cape, and grab a helmet, because there are always heroes welcome in my club!
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*
One of the questions I get a lot is why do I tolerate wearing coats, sweaters, and even costumes so well? The answer is simple, I was born in October and warm outfits became an important part of my everyday life to keep me warm at a very young age!
Not to mention I looked oh-so-good in a hand knitted sweater!
Nothing better than a Dachshund in a sweater! xoxo
Those of you who are regular readers of my blog know that I’m a pretty active guy. I’m always going on exciting adventures, taking training classes, and generally just running around (boy do I love to run). But ever since Mom had surgery I’ve had to stay home a lot to take care of her. I don’t mind taking care of mom (and the good news is only 2 more weeks before we can return to regular adventures), but I do very much miss some things, like visiting my friends on the farm.
The good news is, Mom was missing the farm just as much as me, so over the weekend we took a trip out to visit all of my friends.
The Chincoteague Ponies missed me the most, and I missed Boomerang, Blitz, and Minnow just as much!
I also missed running! So I ran and ran and ran!
I also helped do farm chores, like herding the horses out to the pasture.
And then I ran some more! (Check out how much further along Trooper’s new house is! I can’t wait to give you the tour once Mom can walk a little better).
Trooper and I also did some wrestling. I won as always.
Then I spent the rest of my time on the farm helping to brush Minnow, my favorite pony in the whole wide world!
My time on the farm came and went too quickly. But I know soon we will be back to visiting my friends nearly every day – and it will be Spring! I can hardly wait!
