Dog Friendly Storage Space

My mom and dad have been on a mission this year to redo our kitchen (they’ve been saving their pennies for years and years), so in order to move ahead with operation new kitchen we’ve recently had to do a little re-organizing around the house. One of the first areas to tackle has apparently been my stuff!

I have a few designated areas around my house where most of my gear (coats, harnesses, collars, leashes, etc) collect, one of them being this little nook in the dining room.

As well as this closet in the kitchen which holds a lot of my gear as well as dog food, treats, and other stuff.

As you can see my little closet has become quite cluttered! Mom told me that I would need to clean it out completely as well, because it was going to become the new home for our pantry (once it’s gutted, painted, and redone). Of course I was very concerned about where all my stuff (especially the cookies) were going to end up!

Mom said not to worry, she had a plan, and off she went to Target to pick me up this handy organizing shelf on sale for $40.

She then relocated my treats and dog food to a cabinet in the kitchen and I was left with the task of re-organizing all the rest of my gear!

The end result was this super pretty (and super organized) pet-friendly storage to house all of my gear just inside the backdoor of my house.

With a little help from my mom I sorted everything so it’s much easier to find!

With the bulk of the storage housing my coats, fleeces and jackets (one can never have too many articles of clothing), I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

So what do you think of my new pet friendly storage? How do you organize all of your dog’s gear around the house? Ammo the Dachshund

Ugly Sweaters and Holiday Cheer

Now that it’s December it’s about time we started singing Christmas carols, baking cookies, and wearing ugly holiday sweaters.

Ammo the Dachshund // Christmas Cheer // Bullseye the Target Dog

So when my pal Bullseye the Target Dog sent me a little box of “holiday cheer”, I knew he had the right idea.

So I stuffed myself into that ugly holiday sweater, whistled the tune to jingle bells, batman smells…. and had my own little holiday party.

It was glorious, and just what I needed to kick off the holiday season!

Fashion Show! compliments of Bullseye

So today when I got to work there was a surprise package for me waiting at the shop. I’m no stranger to getting mail at the shop, but this was an unexpected package.

When I opened it up it was filled with goodies from the Polka Dog Bakery at Target! And there was a letter from Bullseye the Target Dog saying he noticed my post online and wanted to send me a couple of his favorite Polka Dog Products.

I was totally blushing that Bullseye even knew my name!! And then I realized there was really only one thing to do when a package of goodies arrives at the shop……FASHION SHOW!

Somehow Bullseye knew that all the Polka Dog products would match perfectly with my Super Hero Cape too.

Of course I broke into the box of cookies before anything else!

You can check out all the cool new products from the Polka Dog Bakery at Target HERE! 

The Polka Dog Bakery at Target

It’s no secret that I love to shop (who doesn’t?), and I’m always so excited when I find a super cool new product or shop.

Recently Target stores across the country launched The Shops, which is a collection of products from local boutique stores like Cos Bar, Privet House, The Candy Store, The Webster, and my personal favorite The Polka Dog Bakery. So just like any good dog mom, my mom headed to Target yesterday to check it out for me while I waited in the car (since sadly I couldn’t sneak in myself). Each store varies in their merchandise, but you can check out most of their collection online.

Of course just scoping out the new products isn’t enough – you have to physically test the merchandise!

So mom came home with a Dog Toy and a box of cookies for me to try.

If you can’t tell by the look on my face, it was a glorious day!

My ice cream sandwich may have not tasted like the real thing, but it was fantastic just the same.

Not only did it squeak, but it was filled with stuffing too!

I eventually broke a hole in my ice cream sandwich, so it doesn’t squeak anymore – but it’s still just as fun to play with. Plus, mom says I look super adorable when I nibble on it.

Later mom let me snack on some of the Polka Dog Bakery treats, which were an all-natural chicken flavor.

They get an A++ from me for yumminess! In fact, I’m so in love with my Polka Dog Bakery items that I’m already trying to convince mom to raid all of the Target’s in my area for more fun items from the collection.

Anyone else spot fun items from The Polka Dog Bakery at their local Target? You can post your finds on my Facebook page so we can all drool over their fabulous items!

 

P.S. Dear Target & The Polka Dog Bakery, if you are reading this, I am more than happy to test all of your merchandise! It would be a big time commitment, but I’m willing to dedicate myself to the cause! 😉
