It’s true, I’ve got a weakness for rope leashes. Combine that with a nice bright ombre color and I’m head over heals! So when I stumbled across Puppy Happy on Etsy I was in love. As a bonus they also sell some cute dog-inspired wood phone cases too! Check it out…
You can fetch these fun goodies and more from Puppy Happy on Etsy.

Thanks to one of my readers I was introduced to the Purple Bone. They carry lots of fun and modern products for dogs, but I was particularly drawn to their fun mix of toys. And don’t worry, even though they are based in the UK, they do ship worldwide.

You might remember that back in February my mom helped me make a Flirt Pole. If you’ve never heard of a Flirt Pole, its basically a cat toy for dogs.
And if you or your dog have never played with one before, let me tell you, it’s seriously the most fun toy EVER! I could play with one of these ALL DAY LONG.
And since I’ve gotten so much use out of my Flirt Pole at home (and still do), mom decided to make me a quick and simple one to use at the shop as well. So after gathering up a few supplies that were laying around the shop I made another easy version of the flirt pole in less than 5 minutes.
Supplies:
And since this project is so simple, I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves….
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some tugging to do!
For more detailed instructions on how to make a Flirt Pole, check out my post from February. DIY not your thing? Check out this fun Flirt Pole from the Bark Shop.
Disclaimer : This is a sponsored post and giveaway brought to you by Lasso Ropes.
My new friends over at Lasso recently sent me one of their fun rope collars, the Jib Petit. (to which I immediately attached one of my Pod ID tags – because one should never go without identification!)
Inspired by the sea, Lasso makes wonderful nautical collars, leashes, and even harnesses for all sea-dogs (or even non-sea dogs that just want to look super cool).
With lots of rope styles, colors, and sizes there is something to fit every dog’s need.
Of course as soon as I received my Lasso Collar I did what any dog with a nautical rope collar does……I strapped on my life vest and headed for the lake!
Even the boat rental crew at the lake commented on how appropriately dressed I was in my nautical collar! It held up well to all my water-time adventures and the size was perfect since all of the Lasso ropes are handmade!
All of the Lasso products are made with brass fittings, which have great corrosive resistance, so I never have to worry about it looking less than stellar after my many summertime trips to the lake.
So if you are looking for some fun nautical rope accessories for your dog this summer (or even yourself since they sell a variety of human-friendly products too), I highly recommend you checkout Lasso!

Perhaps it’s because I grew up on a farm that I have a strong love for leather and rope – and when those two things combine in the form of a dog leash, call me in love.
RESQ/CO dog leashes draw inspiration from dog beaches to the horse stables, these leashes were designed with the discerning sea, horse and dog lover in mind who values craftsmanship & quality above all else.
RESQ/CO leashes are made of 3-strand premium grade dock line that features a five tuck hand spliced handle with secured ends. Each leash features solid brass swivel quick snap hardware that will withstand the elements and evade corrosion,a hand-stamped leather tag, and a Key Ring for holding waste bags, tags, keys. These leashes are strong, lightweight and durable.

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!

I loves me some rope toys! So when I stumbled across this rope dog toy collection from Jax and Bones I found myself adding each and every one to my wish list. Especially the pony, I love ponies.
From the Jax and Bones Website:
These toys were voted Best Pet Toy by Pet Product News in 2008 as one of the best toys for puppies and dogs! Further, a portion of each sale is donated to www.therescuetrain.org, a non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to saving animal lives.
And a fun tip from their website – you can dip the limbs of your rope toy in water and then freeze it, especially great for teething puppies!

I might have a mild obsession with rope leashes currently – that and the color teal. We dogs don’t wear only wear clothing on occasion, so we gotta accessorize somehow!
So even though my mom recently made me my own diy rope leash, when I found the TEAL ROPE leashes on Blink I found myself begging and pleading my mom for an upgrade. True I probably could have dyed my current leash, but these were just oh so cool.
These hand-made, hand-dyed leashes are made of 100% cotton rope with brass hardware. Leash ends are spliced and then whipped, making them as strong as uncut rope.
They come in three different colors, Salmon, Lake and Smoke as well as two different styles – slip or clip.
You can fetch your own for $20-$45 at Blink
I know. We’ve all missed seeing Spider on the blog.
She’s grown up so much since we first met her last October.
Now she’s feisty and strong.
And she likes to get into lots of trouble. (even more trouble than me!)
She can climb trees and she isn’t even scared when the barn swallows and mocking birds try to attack her.
And she’s a sneaky little hunter – she moves through the high grass to catch her prey on her tippy tippy toes.
I hope people think I’m as cool as she is.
And please don’t tell her that I think she’s cool…..I’ll loose my edge as the “big brother” and she just might beat me up!
