I can Bear-ly Wait

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Not that long ago I received a very special package in the mail from my pal Sharkie‘s grandma.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Not only did it include this adorable handmade sweater for me, but also some super fun items for my sister and I to enjoy.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Seriously how cute are these poncho, booties, and cowgirl boots for my little sister? I just know she’s absolutely going to love them once she gets here.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

But my favorite thing of all was this super awesome bear cowl!

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Does it make me look ferocious and bear-like? Well not too ferocious, you know, because I don’t want to be scaring my sister.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Speaking of my sister, Sharkie’s Grandma made her one too! How cool is that!

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Since I knew these beautifully made items would be so much fun for my sister and I to wear, I thought it would be appropriate to start practicing my story-time skills (with a bear theme of course) for when she gets here. Unfortunately I don’t own Goldilocks and the Three Bears (you better get on that mom!), but I do have this really fun book about National Parks*, and you all know how much I love the great outdoors!

I Can Bear-ly Wait

And of course it has bears! Maybe someday I’ll get to take my sister on a fun road-trip to visit these national parks in person (some of which I’ve already visited myself – and saw bears in too!)

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Now I just have to wait for my sister to get here so I can actually read it to her!

Thanks to Suzanne for her amazing crocheting skills. My sister and I will treasure these items always! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Do you have any recommendations for fun bear-themed books I can read to my sister when she comes?

Dogs Compete for Everything

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by PetQwerks. All opinions are my own and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.

Dogs Compete for Everything even the new PetQwerks Flavorit Bones #ad

Trooper and I have always been really competitive. We compete for pretty much everything including treats, toys, dinner, and who gets to eat the cat food first!

Most of the time I win at everything (I’m a dachshund, I was born a wienner!), but every once in a while something comes along that Trooper puts up a little more of a fight for! Check out the video below for proof….

Trooper wasn’t going to let me get away with having all the fun with our PetQwerks Flavorit Bones.

Dogs Compete for Everything even the new PetQwerks Flavorit Bones #ad

See these nylon dog bones have tiny little holes on them that allow them to be filled with your dog’s favorite soft spread like peanut butter, cream cheese and more.

This summer I’m going to be starting my biggest adventure yet, as a BIG BROTHER! That’s right, after 7 years of being an “only child” my family is going to be gaining a new member.

When You’re Bored at Work

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by Chewy.com. All opinions are my own and I received a product in exchange for my honest review. I only share products that I think you and your dogs will love.

Sometimes at work I get a little bored (as evident by the video above). Let’s be honest, I can’t run the machinery at the shop or actually frame a picture (these darn paws), and unless there is a constant flow of customers coming in the door I get a little restless without someone available to play with me 24/7.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

So when my friends over at Chewy.com sent me this Outward Hound Star Spinner Toy mom thought it might be a fun distraction for me at work when she’s too busy to play.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

All you need are a few yummy treats to get started. Mom used some of my kibble.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

Pop them into the Star Spinner and you’re ready for business.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

Mom closed it all up so that it would be more of a challenge before giving it to me.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

It also has a knob on the bottom that you can use to adjust the difficulty (how easily the star spins open), and since I’m such a smarty pants I started on the hardest setting.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

Since I’m pretty used to playing puzzles and games this particular toy was a bit too easy for me, but it was still fun to play with! Mom thought it would be really great for dogs who eat their meals too quickly, because this would really slow them down.

Nylon Dog Bone Chews with an Extra Kick + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by Pet Qwerks. All opinions are my own and I only share products I think you and your pets will love!

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

My new friends over at Pet Qwerks recently came out with a new dog chew called the Flavorit™ that I think your dogs are going to love! Now if your dog likes to chew (as most dogs do), this is a new Nylon bone that they’re going to love sinking their teeth into.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

The Flavorit comes in 8 different flavors that are infused into the nylon bones and is available in 4 sizes. They also come in a Flex version for moderate chewers as well as the standard version for tough chewers.

Since I’m a very aggressive chewer I decided to start out with the standard version (later I did test out the Flex, but it’s not the best fit for me since I am so aggressive with my chewing).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Now you may have noticed the tiny little holes on each side of the Flavorit. They are what make this nylon bone so unique! Not only is each bone flavored as is, but you can also fill each of these tiny flavor cells with your dog’s favorite soft spread like peanut butter, cheese, cream cheese or anything else soft.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Both sides of the Flavorit have a concave design so that the messy treats you put on your bone end up in your dog’s mouth (or the bone) and not on the carpet. Mom found it helpful to wipe off any excess peanut butter with a paper towel before she gave it to me so that I for sure wouldn’t make a mess on anything I wasn’t supposed to.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

I have to say the standard Flavorit held up quite well to my big chompers, and the added peanut butter flavor (which is my favorite) really kept me busy for quite some time.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Mom even let me chew on it on her brand-new carpet….and it really was mess-free! (or I would of been in big trouble).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

The Flavorit is made in the USA of 100% nylon and is even dishwasher safe (if your dog can’t get all the flavor out on their own!).

Drool Worthy TRU harvest® Dog Treats

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Lunchbox but all opinions are my own and I only share products I think you and your pets will love.

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

When you’re a dog it can sometimes be difficult to communicate to the humans exactly what you want. While we might not be able to speak in the true sense, we have become rather creative in expressing what we like and dislike to our humans.

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

That’s exactly what happened when these new TRU harvest® treats from Walmart recently showed up at the farm!

See these brand new treats are made with Ancient Grains (Barley, Spelt, and Quinoa), which are naturally low in fat and contain more nutrients than common grains. They also contain NO corn, soy, wheat, artificial colors or flavors, or poultry by-products. And the very first ingredient is REAL meat….real meat you say….

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

Mom got Trooper and I drooling by first tempting us with TRU harvest® with Ancient Grains Chewy Bars with barley, spelt & quinoa. They come in a Chicken, Cheese, & Tomato Flavor or the Turkey & Cranberry Flavor.

Then as if that weren’t enough she whipped out the TRU harvest® with Ancient Grains Wavy Strips with barley, spelt & quinoa! They also come in two flavors, Chicken & Sweet Potato or Turkey & Pumpkin.

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

To make things worse, Trooper and his tall self stole a bite before I even got to taste them! The nerve!

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

It was finally time to break out the big guns and exercise my right to freedom of speech. Mom was going to surely know EXACTLY what I wanted this time!

And from what I hear, I’m not the only one begging for more of these treats…just check out the video below….

I’ll be honest, the dogs in that video are pretty good at telling their humans what they want, but they’ve got nothing on Trooper and I…

Ok, well Trooper is a bit of a lost soul, but I’m pretty darn good at expressing myself!

So if you don’t want to be the victim of your dog’s communication skills, then you might want to grab them some TRU harvest® Dog Treats with Ancient Grains, found exclusively at Walmart.

Drool Worthy TRU Harvest Dog Treats from Walmart #sponsored

You can save $1.00 off your next TRU harvest® with Ancient Grains dog treats purchase at Walmart. Just click here for coupon.

What do you think your dog would do to let you know they want to try a bite of the TRU harvest® treats? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity
