Pottery Barn is known for it’s home decor items, but did you also know they carry some stylish items for pets too? I recently checked out some of the new items available, and let me tell you, they are drool worthy for sure!
I’ll take one of each, please and thank you! You can fetch these items and more at Pottery Barn. 
Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post and I do not own any of these items, but wanted to share my latest finds with you!
Over the weekend I went on a fun hiking adventure with my pal Shilah the Husky. Shilah and I both like to get out an be adventurous when the weather is nice, so we decided to practice our hiking for an upcoming camping trip we will be going on this summer.
Shilah led the way most of the time because she’s ALWAYS gotta be the lead “sled dog”, but I was happy to trail along behind and pick up on all the scents she missed.
We got muddy.
We got wet.
And we enjoyed every minute of it.
And when we hit the open fields….
…I told Shilah to fall back, because I was in the lead now! And I had caught the scent of a rabbit!
And nobody’s better at tracking rabbits than me!
What kind of adventures did you go on this past weekend?
Don’t worry, no rabbits were harmed. (this time)
With fall rolling in I took my first annual trip of the season to Highland Orchards.
I love sniffing the goats at the orchard, but truth be told, I’m quite happy that there is a fence between us at all times. Safety first!
But the real treat this time was that mom’s first cousin once removed (whatever that means) tagged along with us.
Kids are good for one thing in a dog’s world…..and that’s dropping food!
You can bet I warned Mr. Goat that any food dropped was mine, and mine alone. Don’t worry though, I was very friendly and wagged my tail when I told him. I’m pretty sure he got the message.
What kind of adventures will you be going on this fall?
Over the weekend I went on a mini 3-day vacation to Cape May, New Jersey. While the main purpose of the trip was to soak up some sun at the beach (which I will get to in another post), I also got to log some camping hours – which is one of my favorite things to do!
My friend Shilah the Husky decided to come on this trip with me too – and it was to be her very first camping trip.
Shilah and I waited patiently for the cars to be packed, and oversaw that everything necessary made it into our caravan (squeaky toys, dog food, and cookies of course).
Then we loaded up the tightly packed car and made the 2 1/2 hour trip to Cape May, New Jersey.
We arrived at our dog friendly campsite at Seashore Campsites in Cape May. This campground was a bit more modernized than where I’m used to camping, with activity centers, snack shops, pools and swimming lakes (all of which do not allow dogs to enter), but I did spot lots of other friendly dog campers.
I even met this friendly dachshund named Theo!
Most of the campsites were under lots of wooded trees, which made it quite comfortable to camp even in the summer, although the camping areas were pretty tightly packed – making it a little difficult to find open areas for a dog to do his business.
I prefer a little more of a rustic camping experience personally, but I suppose to my fellow 2 legged campers it was nice to have warm showers nearby. (They can’t rough it like I can!)
My pal Shilah took to camping quite well considering this was her first experience. I even let her borrow my x-pen to make her trip a little more comfortable.
Shilah and I took our camp dog duties very seriously, and we guarded the area from any possible intruders. Ok well maybe guarding isn’t the right word when all we did was stare at passerby’s and wag our tails – but it was fun nonetheless!
One of my favorite things about camping is getting to sleep in a tent with my family. Something about being in nature is just so relaxing to me.
It also helps if you bring a comfy sleeping bag incase it gets chilly at night!
When it came time to head home from our weekend adventure I was sad to go – but I know I’ll be putting up my tent again soon, because this dog loves a good camping trip!
Tomorrow I’ll be back to share some more of the fun I had in Cape May!
Sunday breakfast out with the family is one of those enjoyable outings that are always few and far between. Which is why last Sunday mom and dad took me out to Georgio’s to have an lovely feast.
And when breakfast comes looking like this you can’t help but to use your best sad puppy face to get a bite of bacon!
Works every time!
If you know my mom and dad, then you know that just one outing in a day is never enough – so a stop off at the river on the way home is the perfect thing to work off all that bacon I ate!
Of course the food coma which ensued afterwards was still inevitable! But Sunday breakfast was totally worth it!
On the weekends when I’m at home I like to spend a lot of my time outdoors, especially in the summer.
In the past it had always been a real drag when I had to come inside to do my facebooking and blogging though.
But with the addition of my new outdoor sofa, I now have everything I need to get some work done in the great outdoors.
I can survey my yard AND update my Facebook page at the same time! How glorious!
I can’t help but smile to myself when writing about all the adventures I had over the past week.
I even chuckle at all the things I have done in the past, like when Trooper and I had an Epic Jedi Battle, or when I dug a Super Weenie Hideout Cave, or even when I trained Trooper to be a Super Dog. Oh what wonderful adventures I have had!
Don’t worry though, I foresee many many more adventures in my future – coming right at you from the comfort of my sofa in the great outdoors!
Summer is here and the hot hot days in Pennsylvania are just around the corner for me. Being the farm dog that I am I enjoy spending most of my time outside, but when the mid-day heat really gets blazing I find myself looking for the coolest place to get out of the sun.
That’s why when I came across ChillSpot I knew they had come up with a great product to help dogs like me beat the Summer heat.
Chillspot is a durable, portable, 24″ x 36″ cooling dog bed. It comes with four reusable Chillpods that can be put in your freezer overnight and used during the day to cool your Chillspot bed.
ChillSpot is the only cooling bed that has an insulated base, allowing it to stay cold hours longer than others when out in warm weather.
You can fetch your own ChillSpot cooling pet bed here for $169.
I came across Filson, a leading outfitter for outdoor enthusiasts, and I was super excited to find that not only do they outfit our humans, but they outfit the dogs too! Being a farm dog myself I found their products to have the perfect amount of ruggedness.
Here is a few of my favorite items from the Filson Dog Collection:
You can fetch more rugged dog items from Filson.
Ok, so honestly I thought Skijoring was just for horses, but when I saw these nifty Dog Skijoring harnesses and gear at REI I knew exactly what me and Trooper will be doing this winter.
If you’ve never heard of Dog Skijoring it’s a sport in which a dog (or dogs) assist a cross-country skier by providing power by running and pulling while hooked up to a special harness.
You can fetch this nifty set-up for Dog Skijoring on the REI website. I totally want one of these so I can hook Trooper up to my toboggan!
