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.
Disclosure: this is not a sponsored post, nor do I own any of these items. Just wanted to share my latest find!
Since I’m celebrating Birthday Week on the blog, I thought it would be fun to share a fun DIY for some dog inspired artwork! You’ll love this fun tutorial to add a little extra woof to your own home!
String Art isn’t a new concept, all you have to do is search pinterest and tons of examples will pop up. After seeing lots of fun renditions on the web I thought it would be fun to create my own design, with man’s best friend in mind!
DIY Dog String Art
Supplies:
Step 1: Tape your printed type onto your block of wood. You can really use anything from shapes to various words and even logos.
Step 2: Nail your brads along the inner and outer edges of your text.
Step 3: Remove the paper.
Step 4: Tie your string to one of the nails and begin winding around them in every which direction. It helps if you outline each of the letters with string before filling them in.
Step 5: Continue this process for each of the letters until they are all filled in with string.
Congrats! You now have some fun dog-inspired string art!
I think it turned out pretty fantastic, and I can’t wait to come up with some more fun designs!
I can’t wait to see what fun string art you come up with! Be sure to share your String Art projects on my Facebook page!

Recently my new friends over at the Etsy Shop, I Brake For Yard Sales, sent me one of their handmade Blanket Dog Beds to take for a spin.
What makes this bed a little different than your average dog bed is that it has a super soft and snuggly blanket attached to the handmade wooden frame so that your dog can dig around and get extra comfy (or burrow to their hearts content!).
And not to worry, the fleece blanket easily unsnaps from the wood frame so you can wash it should your pup decide to go to bed with muddy paws! It even comes in lots of fun colors (I opted for the Gray).
It comes in two different sizes for the big and small dogs (but custom sizes are available by request) – I enjoyed lounging in this 17″ x 19″ x 6″ bed.
And since I’m an expert digger and burrower, I figured I’d show you just how “bed fluffing” is really done….
Perfect!
As I fluffed and readied my new Blanket Bed for an afternoon nap I began to draw a little attention.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to spend my afternoon snoozes fending off the farm cats who are now eyeing my comfy sleeping spot!
You can fetch your own Blanket Dog (or apparently cat) Bed from Etsy! And you can even save 10% with coupon code Ammo1.

P.S. Don’t forget, today is the last day to enter my giveaway for a Ruffwear Roamer Leash!!
After the timber frames arrived for Trooper’s new Post and Beam house the other day I was anxiously waiting to see what the finished product would look like. So when I arrived at the farm I was thrilled to see that the crew had managed to get most of the beams into place.
Trooper’s house made me feel so teeny tiny – something I have grown quite accustomed to over the years.
As the sun began to set I noticed that the construction crew had left something behind.
Souvenir pegs from the construction of the beams – extra short, just how I like them!
I made the obvious selection and I’m currently keeping it under my bed – to emerge when Trooper decides to taunt me and I can say “Look what I have, and you can’t have it”!
So I’m totally swooning over the selection of wooden pet id tags I found at the Etsy shop, Cropscotch.
Crafted out of the highest grade woods and hardwoods on the market, our custom Pet ID tags and necklaces are laser cut, hand sanded, engraved and finished with a clear, non-toxic matte coat to ensure maximum strength, protection and weather resistance.
Cropscotch even carries a line of jewelry for your human friends to! They mention that they can create custom id tags/jewelry to fit your own personal style. I’m thinking dachshunds in super hero capes, what about you?
The Pow! tag has my name written all over it!
You can fetch your own wooden pet id tag from Cropscotch for about $14
I like to think I’m a pretty smart guy, so when I came across a line of Interactive Dog Toys from Trixie (sold online only at Petsmart) it had me wondering if they could really stump me.
Designed to test your dog’s intelligence and keep them thinking, these line of Interactive Dog Toys look like so much fun! With levers, nobs and hidden flaps the goal is to find the hidden treats by completing tasks that get your dog thinking. Each toy is rated by difficulty from Level 1 (the easiest) through Level 3. This is one product that is definitely on my wish list!
You can fetch these neat Interactive Dog Toys from Trixie online at Petsmart, they range in price from $15.99 – $35.99.
Any of my pals tested out the Trixie line of Dog Toys? Were you stumped? Do tell!
