Lately I’ve been noticing that my Super Hero outfit is lacking a little something something.
So I sent mom on an errand to pick me up some bling, and she came back with some fantastic choices. The only problem is, I can’t decide which one I like best! So I need your help to decide which bling I should adorn my Super Hero outfit with?
So what do you think, which letter A is the one for me? Leave your vote in the comments and I’ll let everyone know which one is the winner next week! 
Over the weekend my mom and dad went to a very special event (which I was not invited to – the nerve) called the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater. It sounded like so much fun that I thought I would share their adventure with everyone, even if I didn’t get to see it with my own eyes either.
The World Famous Popovich Comedy Pet Theater is a family-oriented blend of the unique comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich, and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets. Each of the show’s 15 cats and 10 dogs were once strays, rescued from animal shelters. Now they love to show off onstage – by performing a variety of stunts and skits!
The event that my mom and dad attended also helped to raise money for the local SPCA by donating a dollar from every ticket to the shelter.
This amazing event featured lots of dogs and cats performing fun and exciting stunts, and they even had a whole act just with dachshunds!
I’m sad to have missed it myself, but glad that mom and dad were able to go and support the rescue animals. Mom even said it gave her some ideas to add to my own stunt dog act which I will be performing at the end of April to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. You can read more about that HERE.
If you’d like to see if the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater will be in your area you can check out their tour dates HERE.

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!
Super Heroes do more than just look great in capes, they also help their community! I am proud to be a supporter of animal rescues and helping shelter animals in need.
A few months ago I created a new page on my blog all about giving back. You can check it out HERE.
I love to do everything I can to help animals in need, so when an opportunity popped up to help a rescue of my choice, I jumped at the chance.
Blanket ID (makers of those fun id tags that keep your pets safe) recently launched a contest looking for cute sayings for their new id tags in their “Significant Others” collection. The winning saying will make it onto a Blanket ID tag in which $3 from every sale will go to the winner’s favorite animal rescue.
My tag submission, “My Hero”, recently made it to the top 10 finalists and is now in the running to be chosen!
Now I need your help to get my tag to the top!
You can vote for my tag (#4, My Hero) by just leaving a comment with the number 4 on the Blanket ID blog, on their Facebook page or emailing it to cate@blanketID.com, share it if you like as much as you can and help me and my chosen rescue. Voting ends Today, Monday 4th March at midnight. Click HERE to VOTE.
Regardless of whether or not my design wins (although it would be fun to win), animals in need will get a helping paw! And that’s the most important part!
The latest meme floating around right now is The Harlem Shake, a song that has sparked a series of dance videos to an instrumental song produced by the artist Baauer. And since I’m never one to miss out on a meme, I decided to do my own rendition.
I bet you are mad impressed with my dance skills right!? I’ve been practicing if you can’t tell.
Anyone else do their own rendition of the Harlem Shake? Let’s see it! Post your favorite ones in the comment section!
I decided that today needs to be a Super Hero Day! Because what’s more fun than a Super Hero Day?
So I rounded up a few of my recent Super Hero videos on Vine (you can follow me @kyleydiluigi) for your enjoyment today! I hope it makes your day extra Super!

Happy Super Hero Day everyone!
A few weeks ago I announced the launch of new notepads and fun little doxie pens in my shop, which you can see HERE. Well, mom and I decided why have only two designs when you can have three!
So with a little inspiration from yours truly, we came up with the Hot Dog notepad!
Mom drew the little hot dog shape, which by the way looks so so yummy!
Even the little doxie pen looks oh so fun to play with, but I’m still perplexed at how he can snap in half like that!
You can fetch your own hot dog notepads and pens in my etsy shop HERE. Maybe you can even mail me a love note!
I’m going to be spending a lot of time on the couch for the next couple of weeks, because I have a very important job to do.
I’ve got my very best nurse hat on because mom had knee surgery earlier this week and is going to have to be on crutches for the next 6 weeks.
I’m very sad to have to miss agility class and going to the farm, but I know if I take extra good care of mom we’ll be back to normal in no time.
So my blog posts might be a bit varied for the next few weeks, and I may need to get a bit creative since my official photographer is a little under the weather. Well, at least until I learn how to work the camera with these clumsy paws. But have no fear, I’m not going anywhere! xoxo,
Right before Christmas my mom entered a giveaway on the Pawsh blog for a spiffy pet painting made by the fine folks at Crazy Rebels. And as luck would have it, she won! The even better part was that the painting was going to be of me!
So I helped mom look through lots of my photos, and we picked out this silly photo from a few years ago of me in my super hero cape. I thought it would look fun turned into a cartoon style painting.
The I headed over to Design Seeds and picked out the blue background color seen in the photo below.
And a few weeks later this fun painting arrived at my doorstep.
Silly and fun, just like me!
You can check out all the fun products from Crazy Rebels HERE.
On Monday I arrived at the farm early to take my pal Minnow on a special outing.
Mom said Minnow was headed to the New Bolton Center, an internationally renowned large animal hospital, in other words the VET!
When we arrived I had to wait in the car, which was perfectly fine with me because going to the Vet is not my idea of a good time anyway.
Mom said Minnow was very brave, much braver than I am at the vet, as he got his 5 year check-up for Ringbone (which I’m told is arthritis in his ankle).
Minnow even got radiographs done of his legs, and I heard he didn’t even need to be drugged!
Minnow told me later that he kept looking over his shoulder wondering when I would come in to hold his hoof and make him feel better about being poked and prodded. I knew no one could be that brave at the vet!
Minnow’s radiographs showed how much of a Super Hero he really is – as his bones have been trying to fuse together over the past 5 years to alleviate pain in his joint. In other words, he’s growing a bionic leg!
When we got back to the barn Boomer and Blitz were waiting for us, and I told them all about how brave our Super Minnow was and all about his bionic leg.
And incase you’re wondering about Minnow’s prognosis…..he and I still have many more years of superness ahead!
You can read the full story on Minnow’s trip to New Bolton HERE.
