Rescue Animals and Blanket ID
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!
My New Yellow Glowdoggie Collar
Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Glowdoggie.
My pals over at Glowdoggie (Hi Leila and Harriet!) recently sent me a new lightsaber led glow collar to take for a whirl.
I’m no stranger to the super awesome LED collars that Glowdoggie sells, in fact I currently own the red, blue, and green mini collars. So I was really excited to test out their new Yellow Mini Collar.
I use my Glowdoggie collars ALL THE TIME, especially on the farm. I also wear one every time I go out in my backyard at night or for a walk in the evening.
Mom says they keep me safe and make it easier for her to know exactly where I am. I admit I like to wander a bit when I’m at the farm.
These collars are super bright (the photos don’t do it justice) and I’m so glad to have a product that makes it so mom feels safe enough to let me explore the farm on my own in the dark.
Here are some great features about this product:
- 100% waterproof, not just water-resistant (I’ve worn mine in the water, through the mud, and down groundhog holes with no problems)
- 2 year warranty, but they last considerably longer (I’ve had some of mine for 3+ years and they are still going strong)
- K-9 Search & Rescue tested and approved
- Extremely robust, durable construction
- Superflux-LEDs with over 150,000 hours shine-life
- Superior visibility at night or in low-light situations (I’m visible all night long on the farm)
- Intelligent battery-management technology for long battery life (Mom changes the batteries on mine about once a year!)
- Automatically turns on&off thanks to patented motion sensor chip (by simply holding the collar upside down the light will turn off, I store mine on the doorknob by the backdoor for easy use)
- Perfect for North America’s often extreme weather conditions
I can’t say enough good things about Glowdoggie, it really is one of those products I just can’t live without!

Product Review: SafetyGlo Harness for Dogs from Chewy.com
Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Chewy.
When my friends over at Chewy.com, formally known as Mr. Chewy (they dropped the formality because we’re all friends here), contacted me about the new SafetyGlo products they are carrying on their site – I just knew I had to take them for a whirl.
The SafetyGlo products are the only ones on the market that are solar and usb chargeable. They emit a glowing light that is visible from over 500 yards away.
Perfect for keeping your pet safe on late night walks, visible at night in the back yard, and if you’re like me….on the family farm.
But before I could take the SafetyGlo harness for a spin, I had to charge it up! The easily detachable charging unit comes with a small USB cable that can be plugged into your computer for charging. Alternatively you can leave it to charge out in the sun – or simply place it on your dog while they are outside during the day and let the sun do it’s magic.
Once charged, the SafetyGlo unit easily snaps & velcros to the back of the harness.
There is also a handy on and off switch on the charger – so during the day you can switch it off.
And at night you can let it Glo!
Of course the true test is always the farm dog test….so I harnessed up and prepared to romp around the farm in my new SafetyGlo Harness.
Farmdog approved!
I’m wearing the medium SafetyGlo Harness, which fits me snuggly like a glove – it seems the sizes might run a little small, so when ordering maybe order a size up if you are unsure.
You can fetch your own SafteyGlo Products from $5.99 – $24.99 at Chewy.com!

Fall Jacket Time
It’s that time of year again where I get to break out my fall and winter wardrobe – as it’s been getting a bit cooler now.
I tend to wear my jackets a lot more when I’m on the farm – gotta keep warm and toasty when hunting for groundhogs.
And as a bonus, I look extra stunning in yellow.
The horses are sooooo jealous.
My Weekend DIY Dipped Yellow Chair
Sometimes over the weekend I take on a few DIY projects around the house. Mom says I’m her favorite little helper, and pretty much I agree.
On this particular weekend I decided to help Mom makeover an old chair we had sitting around the house. The BEFORE was pretty blah, but I knew just what would do the trick after seeing this pretty lady on Pinterest:

So I did what I do best – supervised while Mom taped off each of the four legs with painter’s tape.
Then Mom gave it several coats of spray paint while I chomped on my ball in anticipation. I would of helped, but as you know, these cumbersome paws can’t exactly work a spray paint can.
After a few hours of drying time this baby was ready for a photoshoot, and we all know how I love a good photoshoot!
My new yellow chair looks fabulous with it’s dipped legs don’t you think? I’m now contemplating painting everything this way……how do you think I’d look dipped in teal – it would be the hot new trend in painted pets. I’m gonna be famous!
Friday Fetch: The Cool Puppy Harness
Being a small dog I’m always on the lookout for cool harnesses that work well with my short legs. Also I’m a bit picky and don’t like having straps between my front legs – which somewhat limits my harness finds.
Recently I stumbled upon The Cool Puppy on Etsy, which carries a line of dog collars and leather harnesses for dogs that gives us doggies freedom of movement!
They are made of 100% leather and boast being both comfortable and durable for your dog.

Little Super Hero on the Wall
You might remember that for Christmas I got a special little gift card from my Mom & Dad to get a custom painting of myself from Yellow Brick Home. Well, a few days ago a little package arrived at my door from the very talented Kim Vargo.

I couldn’t believe how much it looked like me! Mom says she even captured the special feisty little look in my eyes.
After modeling for a few photos with Mom and sending Kim some of my favorites from years past, I was so excited to see the results. Kim even said I was the very first Super Hero she got to paint! (I’m the cutest too, right?)
Mom hung it up in my home office for me, and I really can’t help but stare at it all day long!
Oh handsome little hero on the wall – you are just way too cool!
You can get your own custom pet paintings from Kim @ Yellow Brick Home (make sure you tell her the cutest Super Hero EVER sent you!)
*I was not paid or perk’d to write this post – I’m just super super excited about my new portrait!
Friday Fetch: Voyagers K9 Apparel
Thanks to my pals over at Dog Milk, I now have a new must have item added to my Christmas List (You know, since my Birthday week is sadly coming to an end today). A winter coat from Voyagers K9 Apparel! The coolest part about their trendy looking coats – they make them to custom fit specific breeds (mixed breeds included!). Do you know how hard it is to find a coat to fit my short legged/long body? It’s really really hard.
I’m currently loving the tummy warmer coats & the winter coats – now I just have to figure out what color would look best on me! Yellow, Navy, Teal? And I’m hoping they can add a custom D-ring to my jacket so I can use it as a harness too! Oh and I guess I better start behaving now so Santa will just HAVE to get me a new coat for Christmas.
You can fetch your own coat at Voyagers K9 Apparel!
Cupcakes & Diapers
On Sunday I had the feeling that something exciting was going to happen.
Clue number one was that I had to get dressed up!
Mom said we were going to have a Baby Shower for her cousin.
“Does this mean I’ll get to play with Babies?” – Me
“Not quite, but there will be cupcakes & diapers” – Mom
So I parked myself on the couch and waited for these so called cupcakes & diapers to arrive.
And I waited.
And then just as I was getting really tired of waiting…
The cupcakes arrived! (I may or may not have licked a few…..shhhh!)
In fact, lots of food arrived. I tried my best to look awfully cute so that the mom-to-be would send some treats my way, but it didn’t quite work out as planned.
So instead I took a break from party mode and took a nap on the couch for a while.
I instantly perked up though when I heard we were gonna play some party games. “Games? I love games!”
“Someone help me cut my ribbon so I can guess how big the baby belly is!”
Then the highlight of my day….the diapers arrived! And you’ll never guess what. There was melted chocolate inside of them……sweet glorious day.
Apparently it was for some game where you have to guess which melted chocolate bar is inside the diaper. I think I need to brush up on my chocolate bars, because I failed miserably….even with a few taste tests!
Sigh. All in all I had a fabulous day, but when it was all said and done I had one question to ask.
“Mom, where do babies come from?”
