Hey Friends! I’m on vacation this week, but don’t worry…..There’s always room on my raft for you! So make sure you stop by my Facebook page all week to live vicariously through all of my adventures! I promise I’ll be back next week with tales of all the fun things I did. 
Summer is here and the hot hot days in Pennsylvania are just around the corner for me. Being the farm dog that I am I enjoy spending most of my time outside, but when the mid-day heat really gets blazing I find myself looking for the coolest place to get out of the sun.
That’s why when I came across ChillSpot I knew they had come up with a great product to help dogs like me beat the Summer heat.
Chillspot is a durable, portable, 24″ x 36″ cooling dog bed. It comes with four reusable Chillpods that can be put in your freezer overnight and used during the day to cool your Chillspot bed.
ChillSpot is the only cooling bed that has an insulated base, allowing it to stay cold hours longer than others when out in warm weather.
You can fetch your own ChillSpot cooling pet bed here for $169.
I spend a lot of my time on the family farm, and as I roam freely over the 20 acres I can always find plenty to do. I thought it would be a blast to share some of the fun stuff that I do on the farm with everyone, so I made my mom spend a day following me around.
On this particular morning I visited with my pony friends Minnow & Blitz for a short while. They made funny faces at me while I sniffed around for buried treasure in the tall grass. So far my efforts have yet to produce any riches or gold, but I won’t give up.
Then I spent a good deal of time lounging around with my kitty pals, Spider and Cricket.
Spider and Cricket are usually quite content to spend their entire days sunning.
Well, in Spider’s case, also wrestling bits of hay.
Me on the other hand, I get a little bored of sunning and lounging all day. So that’s why I struck up a game of Hide and Seek with Cricket, and ultimately found this awesome stick to play with.
And just when I was starting to think that I didn’t have anything else to show my mom (and my blog friends) about what everyday life is like for me on the farm…..
….I remembered the holy grail of adventures, the thing that I covet the most, and don’t normally share with anyone…
…for security purposes I can’t show you EXACTLY how I got there….
…but regardless, WELCOME TO MY HOLE! My groundhog hole to be exact, and if I’m divulging all my secrets, then you must know that there isn’t just one hole on the farm, but ten to be exact, well eleven if you count the one across the culdesac in the neighbor’s yard.
I know where all my little furry friends live, and I monitor their where-a-bouts on a day-to-day basis. It’s a tough job, but I just know one of these days my groundhog friends will invite me in for tea.
So, there you have it, a typical day on the farm for me. What about you? Where is your holy grail of adventures? Any of my Dachshund friends out there monitor groundhog holes too?
Mornings on the farm can be pretty peaceful.
I’m usually greeted at the door by my partner in crime, Spider the kitten.
Most mornings she yells at my mom to feed her – while I dart inside to figure out what new adventures there are to be had.
Sometimes the only “adventure” to be had is sunbathing in the morning sun. And that’s ok.
But other days, you just itch for something more exciting. Something that makes you want to shout from the roof tops your groundhog hole. And just when you think that there might not be any “adventures” to have – the heavens shine down and your day becomes glorious again – because you found a DEAD SNAKE!
And the only reasonable thing you can think of to do……
……roll on top of that sucker until you smell just as stinky as it does.
It really turned out to be a glorious morning on the farm, don’t you think?
But don’t worry, even if you didn’t find a “dead snake” this morning the day is not lost…..
…..because I’m more than happy to mail you my dead snake – so you can also have a glorious morning too!
