My sister might not like to nap, but I certainly do! Which is why I’ve got a whole new batch of sleeping spots to share with you this month.
Relaxing right? I bet you’re jealous you can’t nap all day like me. Don’t worry, I can take enough naps for the both of us.
What’s your favorite spot this month?

Ok, so I know Halloween is over and it’s now November, but I just had to share one final “October” adventure that I just know you’ll love.
See just before Halloween my mom and dad found this new orchard near my house that is super dog friendly! Because surprisingly most orchards in my area don’t allow pets, which is very odd to me.
*side note – I always call ahead when planning an adventure to find out if I’m allowed to accompany my family. You’d be surprised how pet friendly some places can be if you just ask first!
So I was thrilled to find out that I was allowed to accompany my family into the fields to pick out our pumpkins this year.
Next year I’m totally going to pick apples with my sister too! I’m just waiting for her to get a little taller so I can get a boost up in that tree!
Picking out pumpkins for everyone in the family wasn’t enough, because when it’s Halloween you have to carve them!
But since my sister is too little, and I have paws, that left mom and dad to do the dirty work. Don’t worry, I barked directions at them the whole time.
A short while later we had 4 pumpkins ready and waiting to be lit for Halloween night!
Granted they may not have been quite as elaborate as years past, but when you’re trying to squeeze in some pumpkin carving while your sister naps it’s about as good as it gets.
Happy Belated Haunting Everyone! 
Which one of my pumpkins is your favorite?

Adventure. It’s in my blood. For the past 8 years my mom and dad haven’t hesitated to decide on a whim, today is the day for an adventure.
And then my sister arrived, and I was a little worried all that adventuring was going to be over. I should have known I didn’t need to worry though, because my mom has always had a secret weapon when it comes to getting everyone out of the house for some fun.
That secret……bags! My mom has always left bags packed by the door ready to go with all the supplies needed for our next big adventure. In the summer we have a pool/lake bag with towels & life vests, and in the winter we have a bag with extra warm coats, and now with the addition of my sister there is need for even more bags!
Mom has been keeping this fun On The Fly Jasper Swag Dog Walking Bag just for me packed and ready by the door so we can head out on a moments notice.
Here she is packing up all my gear (and my sister’s too) to be ready for our next big adventure:
Mom and I have been loving the Jasper Swag Bag because not only does it have pockets for all my essentials (poop bags, extra id tags & collar, cookies – of course, water, bowl, etc), but it also fits some of mom’s gear like keys and mobile phone.
Mom loves the waist belt option too because it gives her more use of her arms, which apparently you can never have enough of when you have a baby sister and a dog to look after. I wouldn’t know since all I have are these paws.
So if you’re looking for a bag to make adventuring easier, then check out the full line of Jasper Swag Bags available at:

Well, Halloween is almost here, so it’s finally time for me to reveal my 2016 Costume. Each year I try to come up with something homemade, and a little different. Last year I was Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy, as I love to draw inspiration from some of my favorite movies. This year was no different.
Now if you don’t recognize this year’s costume then you must not have seen the movie Life Aquatic*. Here’s a brief synopsis:
“INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS OCENAOGRAPHER STEVE ZISSOU & HIS CREW SET SAIL ON AN EXPEDITION TO HUNT DOWN THE MYSTERIOUS, ELUSIVE – POSSIBLY NONEXISTENT – JAGUAR SHARK THAT KILLED ZISSOU’S PARTNER DURING THE DOCUMENTARY FILMING OF THEIR LATEST ADVENTURE.”
Adventure, well I’m in! Of course I was going to need a team though….

Good thing my family was totally ready to join Team Zissou!
So if you haven’t caught the movie* yet, do!

From my team to yours, Happy Halloween!

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.
Available at:
And don’t forget to snag one of the fun toys from the BarkShop. Code AMMO gets you a special surprise at checkout!
Just a few days before my sister was born I attended one last event with my mom and dad as an only “fur child”.
This was the first time I went to my town’s Music in the Park event, and boy was I in for a treat.
See all the children at the event seemed to know that I was going to be a big brother soon, so they took it upon themselves to break me in.
P.S. How cool is this kid’s “Indiana Jones*” outfit, now that would make a cool Halloween costume! *affiliate link
Sticky faces and lots of love, I was pretty sure I could totally get used to this.
One last photo with my mom and dad before we became a family of 4. I had no idea how much better it was going to get.
Then before I knew it, my sister was here – and guess what – I got to take her to music in the park a few days later!
Here’s a short video of me attending the event before she was born, and then again when she could enjoy it too!
I’m thinking I might need to teach my sister some of my sweet dance moves when she gets bigger. I didn’t want to show her up and break them out this time, but next time for sure!
Have you ever taken your dog to a music in the park event? Did they enjoy the music?
Since a lot has happened when my sister was born 2 months ago on August 7th, I have a lot to catch everyone up on! So today I’m going to start at the beginning, the day we first met.
My sister had to stay in the hospital for 2 whole days after she was born. But finally the day came when she got to come home.
It was an agonizing wait for me, as I stayed at the farm with my pal Trooper while my family was in the hospital. It was especially hard when I got to smell her baby blanket days before she came home, but yet still I had to wait to meet her. Then finally it was August 9th, the day she came home.
As you could see in the video, I could hardly wait to meet her. I got to say hi to mom and dad first before she came inside, and I knew things were going to be different after sniffing mom’s belly when she walked in the door. My sister was out in the world now, and I was going to have to make sure she stayed safe.
Of course before I did that I had to open the present mom and dad brought me. Priorities.
(this is what I got*)

But after that, it was love. I went everywhere sister went, and made sure no one was going to hurt her. That’s what big brothers do.
Now that she’s a little bigger I’ve let go a little and I’m not so clingy. I have to learn to let her be independent after all, as there is much to teach her! Don’t worry though, if anyone messes with her I’ve got a pretty big guard dog bark!
Is your dog as protective as me?
Since last week I celebrated my 8th Birthday I thought I would share just how I decided to celebrate.
Now my sister is only 2 months old, so she doesn’t even know what a Birthday is yet. So I decided to show her exactly what you do on Birthdays…
If I can help it, my sister is going to be the very best present unwrapped when she grows up!
How do you celebrate your dog’s birthday?
Well it’s been a couple months since you’ve gotten to check out where I’ve been sleeping. Not to worry though, because although I haven’t been sharing the photos, I’ve definitely been sleeping the day away! So here’s a few of the spots I’ve been napping in…
What’s your favorite spot this month?
