My new friends over at Purple Possum recently sent me this beautiful navy and white Dachshund Scarf to review. I guess technically it’s for my mom, but when I spotted how soft and big (70 inches x 37 inches) it was I knew I would be able to find many uses for it!
So since sharing creative ways to wear a scarf is all the rage, I figured I would come up with my list of 9 Ways to Wear a Dachshund Scarf (on your dachshund).
#1 The Snoopy: this classic look channels your inner Snoopy, all that’s missing is the flying dog house!
#2 The Nomad: Hiking though the desert, no problem when you have this fancy scarf to keep sand from flying in your ears!
#3 The Rambo: Bad guys beware, I may be wearing a woman’s scarf, but I’m pretty tough!
#4 The Body Builder: Create the illusion of a muscled physique (or in my case protect your already huge muscles from scaring everyone off) in this classic strong guy look.
#5 The Rapunzel: Save all your fallen toys that tumbled off the bed with this totally functional look!
#6 The Fort: Not technically a “look” but you can always use a good fort blanket!
#7 The Nightmare Fighter: Never be scared at night again when you have a whole army of dachshunds to hide under in the midst of scary dreams.
#8 The Lady Killer: All that’s needed to pull this off is a fancy scarf and an adorable wink that makes all the ladies swoon!
#9 The Naptime Companion: Never be lonely again on your afternoon nap with this cuddly use for your scarf.
I could on and on as there are tons of uses for my new Dachshund Scarf from Purple Possum, but I figured you’ll probably want to come up with some of your own looks too!

The winter in Pennsylvania this year has been pretty harsh, but thanks to my new friends at Care 4 Dogs I’m a little extra warmer in my new winter snood! (incase you didn’t know a snood is a tubular scarf that you wear around your neck kinda like a hood).
My new dark grey snood was custom made to fit my neck and head measurements (and can be custom made for any dog too). I’ve been enjoying wearing it over my ears this winter to keep them extra warm in the cold.
Or if your dog doesn’t like things over their ears you can also opt to just wear it around your neck for some extra warmth.
One end of the snood is a bit more fitted to it’s sure to stay nice and snug on my head – but not too snug that it isn’t easy to pull off.
My Care 4 Dogs Snood is now one of my must have winter accessories – I never leave home without it!
Care 4 Dogs not only makes custom snoods, but they also make rope leashes, pet sleeping bags, and even pet carriers!

Over the weekend mom and I had some fun with a little DIY project. I like to keep up with all the fashion trends, so I told mom I needed a stylish new Ombre Bandana for the summer! Ombre is new it thing, incase you didn’t know.
So here’s my super fun tutorial for a…
DIY OMBRE PET BANDANA
Supplies Needed:
Step 1: If you are using a piece of fabric vs. a pre-made bandana (sold at most craft stores, but better sized for a large dog), cut your fabric into a triangular shape that will fit your dog’s neck. Mom measured my neck then added 4″ to each side on the top to make room to tie it. Ex: my neck measured 12″ so we added 8″ total making the top measurement 20″ wide.
Step 2: Mix your dye as per the directions on the box. As a rule always add a little less water to your bucket – you can always add more water to dilute it later.
Step 3: Attach your bandana to the hanger.
Step 4: Dip the bandana 3/4 into the dye for about 5 seconds, then remove. Try to keep the bandana as level as possible when dipping into the dye.
Step 5: Next dip your bandana 1/2 way into the dye for 20 seconds.
Step 6: Remove the Bandana another 1/4 out of the dye so that just 1/4 remains in the dye. Leave it there for another 2 – 3 minutes. *you may have to experiment with dye times based on the type of fabric you are using and how quickly it soaks up the dye.
Remove from the dye and hang until dry.
The waiting is the hardest part!
When your bandana is dry you will have a stylish new accessory perfect for the summer! Yay!
Of course I had to break mine in by rolling in the stinkiest dead animal smell I could find. It was glorious!
Since we’re narrowing down the countdown to Christmas (only 5 more days to go) I’ve been sporting some Holiday cheer around the shop lately. Just check me out in my Holiday scarf!
Yeah I know, it’s no reindeer antlers, but at least I’m sporting my red and green. What are you doing to get into the “festive” mood?
