This February was amazing, mostly because I had so many warm Spring-like days! So crazy! And I also had a lot of fun adventures, so that too.
Before we get to my adventures though, let me give a shoutout to my special sponsors & affiliates! Thanks to them I’m able to bring you exciting posts, so make sure you give them some love and check out what great products they carry!

Now at first glance this might look like just a cute book about Dogs and Their People. And while that fun smiling corgi is super fun, there is something even more special about this book…
…I’m in the book! As you can see my sister couldn’t wait to help me celebrate my very first “in print” literature.
Many lucky dogs just like me have people that love them very much (like my sister here), so much so that the quirky stories that prove their love are included in this book of collected stories by my friends over at Barkbox!
So I’m sure none of you are surprised that I might be included in this book, after all my mom and dad do some crazy things to show me that they care. (Taking me flying, a road trip so I could walk the red carpet, and documenting my entire life on this blog to name a few)
In the Dogs and their People Book I’ve got an entire page dedicated to me, written by my mom!
The Barkshop even came out with this super fun replica book that doubles as a baby toy (or I guess dog toy depending on who you are)!
So if you’re looking for a cool gift for all your friends this holiday season, or just can’t get enough of yours truly, be sure to grab this fabulous book! It’s got so many fun reads inside that I’m still not finished it completely.
March is usually the beginning of some of my outdoor adventures, just as things start to warm up and daylight savings hits – making my days brighter! I can’t wait to share with you just what I was up to this past month!

I shared my Easter Basket with my best friend and recapped all my Easter Sunday adventures.
And that brings us to April! Top of my list is to get my vegetable garden started….I can’t wait for all those fresh veggies! What sort of adventures did you go on in March?
When Easter rolled around I could hardly wait to see what was in my basket this year.
My best pal Trooper came over to help me open it (and the Easter bunny had brought him a few treats too).
But, Trooper still doesn’t quite get the concept of opening presents, so he let me do all the work.
After all the unwrapping was done Trooper and I picked out our favorite toys from the bunch.
My favorite is this Thinker Maze* from the the Barkshop (that bunny certainly knows the best places to shop!).

Before long it was time for all my family to arrive at my house for Easter dinner, which included my newest little cousin whom I’m absolutely in love with! He’s already loving my wet doggy kisses!
Next up was the easter egg hunt! And while I had fun watching all my older cousins hunt for their eggs, I have to admit I was a little jealous.
They got so many goodies in those eggs too…including monies!
But guess what! My cousins decided to hide some dog friendly easter eggs around the yard specifically for me and Trooper to find!
Although poor Trooper didn’t quite grasp the concept, and the poor guy wandered around with a confused look on his face most of the time.
That’s ok though, because I had no problem collecting Trooper’s share of the eggs too!
After our egg hunt Trooper and I were pretty wiped out.
But don’t worry, there’s always one thing that never fails in perking me right up…..HAM!
Although sadly I didn’t actually get any holiday ham…despite my best sad face at dinnertime.
All in all I had a fantastic Easter with my family. Too bad we can’t celebrate every day!
Even thought Christmas has come and gone, I haven’t forgotten about sharing just what sort of adventures I went on during my holiday break! So here’s my fun recap of all things Christmasy…
My Christmas eve started off pretty uneventful, as I still had to fulfill my shop dog duties for all the customers that needed to pick up their picture framing.
But eventually it was time to head over to Trooper’s house at the farm so that I could celebrate with him and my extended family.
I got busy right away helping to clean up around the kitchen. (apparently Trooper is slacking on his floor licking duties).
But elsewhere, the tree decorating fun was well underway! (and let’s be honest, my 6 foot 3 Uncle Taylor was much more suited for putting the angel on top than short little me)
The rest of the night consisted of gift giving, sock stealing (on Trooper’s part), good times with my family, and maybe just a few naps too. Before I knew it, it was time to head home so that Santa could bring me some presents!
When I woke on Christmas morning I was so excited! Honestly, I wasn’t sure if Santa would bring me anything after I caught that bunny in the backyard, and got on the dining room table to steal food (oops). But I guess my “goodness” outweighed the bad this year, because he brought me lots of fun presents!
From a December Barkbox filled with fun treats and toys….
My favorite new toy though, the Bouncing Squirrel Tail mom and dad bought me from the Barkshop! (you can snag one for your pup from the Barkshop with code AMMO for a FREE PRIZE at checkout). I’ve been having a blast with my new toy over the past few weeks!
Christmas is always an exciting whirlwind, and just as things were winding down mom and dad said we had to get ready to go to my MomMom & PopPop’s house.
I always love going to MomMom & PopPop’s house, because without fail, PopPop always manages to “drop” food on the floor. 😉
There was also plenty of time for more gift giving and playing with my cousins too (who coincidently also LOVED my new Bouncing Squirrel Tail too).
Christmas with my family is always a special time. Despite my excitement about all the gifts and food, my very favorite part is getting to be with the one’s I love.
Of course if you know me and my family, then you know that even though Christmas was over, the fun never stops at my house. The day after Christmas I was hitting the hiking trail with more of my family! After all, we had to burn off all those Christmas dinner calories we had the day before!
I’m already counting down the days until next Christmas! What sort of fun did you have for the holiday?
Yay! It’s time for my holiday gift guides! I know you’ve got a special dog or dog lover in your life that you’re stumped on what to get them. Well have no fear! I’ve got the best collection of gift ideas for all your friends.
Today’s the day! The day we get to eat our fill of the best foods ever.
Mostly turkey, because you all know a dog’s life revolves around meat! Well, ok it’s mainly a day to give thanks for all the blessings we have. Like my family, squeaky toys, ponies, and best friends!
But seriously, when does the turkey get served?
Don’t worry, even if I don’t get my fill of Turkey this year, I’ve still got my awesome Barkbox to keep me happy.
You can snag your pup a Barkbox subscription this month and also get a FREE 3 LEAVES ON A ROPE TOY exclusively from the Barkshop with code AMMO (a $16 value).*

Well Fall and the back to school season just sort of creeped up on me. Sad to think the summer is coming to an end.
