Lets face it, Summer is HOT! And when you’re a dog who’s covered in fur it can feel even hotter. So when I came across the Swamp Cooler Vest for dogs from Ruffwear it sounded like a great solution to keep us dogs cool in the heat. So when Ruffwear offered me up the chance to take their redesigned Swamp Cooler for a spin I decided to let my best friend Trooper test this one out. Trooper likes to tag along on the trail with the horses, but the summer (and his extra thick coat of hair) sometimes makes it just too hot for him to do so.
How does it work? Simply soak the vest with water, wring it out and put it on your dog! The evaporative cooling process will move heat away and bring cool moist air towards your dog.
The Swamp Cooler was redesigned this year with three distinct functional layers. The outer layer blocks the sun, and is highly breathable to assist in the evaporative process and keep air moving through the vest to cool the inner layers. The middle layer is the absorbent layer that holds the water after you soak it. And the comfortable inner mesh layer wicks water from the mid-layer to the dog’s body keeping them cool.
On an average day tagging along with the horses at the farm this is what Trooper looks like in the summer:
So when the Swamp Cooler arrived I was anxious to see if it kept my working buddy any cooler!
We started off by hosing the vest and wringing it out before strapping it onto Trooper.
Trooper is wearing the size medium, which fit him perfectly. I’d be curious if some of the smaller sizes would work on Dachshunds or not – our never ending quest to find products that accommodate our big chests and long backs can sometimes be a bit difficult.
I then gave Trooper strict instructions to run his little heart out after those ponies and report back to me if it kept him any cooler. I on the other hand hung back to guard the farm because my short little legs just aren’t made for keeping up on the trail!
Then off Trooper went with my ponies, wagging his little stubby tail the whole way!
When Trooper returned back to the farm he reported feeling much cooler. His tongue wasn’t hanging out as much, and it took him much less time to slow his heart rate back down. We both agree that this vest would be great to taking on the hiking trail, summer walks, or even just wearing outside in the backyard in hot weather – especially for dogs that work hard or have a thicker coat. The cooling features of this vest seem to last about an hour before it needs to be re-wet again, but as long as you bring a water bottle with you (or stop at a creek like Trooper sometimes does on his trail rides), you will always have a method of making it cool again for your dog.
Trooper and I highly recommend this product and hopefully you will be fetching your own Swamp Cooler from Ruffwear soon!

My life is pretty well documented on this blog, but I secretly always wondered what it would be like to take my own photos and videos.
Well with Kurgo’s Tru-fit Smart Harness you can now mount a camera to your dog’s chest or back. Specifically designed to work with GoPro cameras (and the Sony Action Cam), your dog can now catch all the action! I’m pretty sure any videos I took would include lots of digging and hunting!
You can fetch the Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Harness with Camera Mount HERE for $35.
It’s time to take a look back over the past month at all the exciting things I’ve done! So just incase you missed it, here are some of my highlights from July!
I took a dip in my own Personal Puddle!
I shared what I do when Adventure Awaits.
I celebrated the 4th of July.
I recapped all the adventures I had on the Fourth of July.
I spent the day at the pool.
I reviewed and gave away an Easy-Scoop-A-Poop.
I went to the rodeo to watch my ponies compete.
I helped my pal Trooper test out some True Chews premium jerky.
I took some swim lessons.
I tested out my new raincoat from Voyagers K9 and gave away a gift certificate to a lucky reader.
I spent a rainy day at the lake with my pal Shilah.
I tested and gave away some great products at Prime Pet Supply.
I welcomed my ponies home from the Chincoteague Pony Penning.
I got to spend the day at work with dad.
I shared what an average weekend looks like for me.
Boy, I sure did a lot in July! I’m looking forward to many more adventures in August!
An average weekend for me is probably actually not that average. See my family is always on the go go go, and one weekend adventure always leads to another.
Most days always start out on the farm, with my daily farm chores like feeding the ponies and making sure everything is in order.
Then usually it’s out to lunch – always at a dog friendly dining establishment!
Then it’s off to burn some calories by going on a hike!
On the way home we make a pit-stop at the hardware store to pick up supplies for more weekend projects.
I take a quick rest, because I know we’ll be stopping for ice cream on the way home too.
With all these weekend adventures it’s no wonder that by the time I arrive home again I look like this! And it’s not even bedtime yet!
I can’t complain though, because weekend adventures are the best!

My friends over at Prime Pet Supply recently offered me a chance to take their new pet products website for a spin. Shopping, now how did they know that would win me over?!
Prime Pet Supply stocks only the best and most natural pet foods, treats and supplies available on the market. So I hopped on their website in search of a few products to try, and picked out these fun goodies:
Once my goodies arrived at my doorstep I wasted no time in digging right in!
The hardest part was choosing what to try first!
Two of the toys I picked up were the Kong Tugga Wubba Dog Toy and the Bionic Bone Dog Toy. Both of these toys are designed for tough chewers (which totally describes me) and after a couple weeks of play they are still holding up very well. The nice thing about the Bionic Bone is that it’s designed to be stuffed with treats – I’m thinking bully sticks just as soon as mom picks me up a few!
Next I tested some Etta Says! Freeze Dried Chicken Liver Treats, which I’m not gonna lie, I mostly chose these because there was a picture of a cute little dachshund on the front.
I’m a big fan of freeze dried dog treats, especially since these are made in america, all natural, and contain no preservatives. Gotta love treats that taste good and are good for you! Yum!
The next product was something my mom picked out for me. Honestly, I wasn’t that thrilled about it because supposedly it’s supposed to mask that stinky dog smell that I work so hard to achieve.
The Earthbath All Natural Deodorizing Spritz in Vanilla Almond is designed to make your stinky dog smell much better. Mom was quite excited about this product, and I guess I can kinda be on board if it means I will get less frequent baths. I do admit the Vanilla Almond smell was quite pleasing, but not too over powering – and a bonus is it’s supposed to make my skin softer and my coat sleek and shiny!
Now the last product, and probably my favorite, was the Powzer Flash and Dash Ball. This thing was seriously cool. When the tough outer ball is shaken (or on impact) it lights up inside for over 70 hours of play. I had so much fun playing with this ball in the dark, just see for yourself….
Overall I thought Prime Pet Supply had some great products, and I also like to see that they carry a lot of all natural and healthy for you products – because that just means my mom is more likely to buy them for me!
And now for the best part…

I came across this interesting harness design from Ginger’s Wonders on Etsy and was intrigued. I like a good harness that gives me freedom of movement, and these harnesses seem to do just that. Plus they come in some fun colors and patterns, perfect for some summertime fun!
That houndstooth pattern certainly looks good on my fellow dachshund friend!

So you may have noticed that my post was a little later than normal today. I blame it on my mom. Because while I’m laying around the shop looking like this today, she’s too busy with work to help me on the computer! I guess I could help, but it’s so hard to when all I want to do is lay like this!
