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? 
When the new FURminator Comfort Edge DeShedding Tool arrived at my door a few weeks ago, I knew just who would be getting a major grooming, my buddy Trooper!
I have to admit, I’m a wee bit jealous of all of Trooper’s glorious hair (he claims he gets his good hair from his mom, the Australian Shepherd). I on the other hand am plagued with Dachshund pattern baldness (it’s a real thing, look it up!), and have to wear coats and sweaters all winter long to keep warm on the farm.
Thanks to our new FURminator mom collected enough Trooper hair to make me a sweater from it! Now who’s good with a loom?

Since my official Birthday was on Monday (I’m 7 woohoo!) I bet you’re all wondering what exactly I did to celebrate the special day. So I made this fun video to show you just how things went down on the anniversary of my birth…
As you can see other than opening my presents I did a whole lot of napping in the sun around the farm with my buddy Trooper. It wasn’t exciting, it wasn’t adventurous, but it’s exactly what I wanted to do on my Birthday!
And did you notice? My best buddy even gave me the big dog bed because it was my Birthday!
How do you celebrate your dog’s Birthday?

This month my friends at Chewy.com sent me the Furminator Dual Brush to take for a spin. As you know it’s Spring, which in the dog world can also be known as shedding season! While I’m not the kind of dog that needs a ton of de-shedding because of my short coat, I still need brushing occasionally. My buddy Trooper on the other hand, he sheds enough to clothe a whole other dog!
With the Furminator Dual Brush we get the best of both worlds. A pin brush on one side for longer coated dogs like Trooper, and a nylon bristle brush on the other side for shorter coated dogs like me.
Brushing 2 dogs with 2 very different coat types was never easier!
You can fetch the Furminator Dual Brush from Chewy.com where it’s on sale right now for under $10!

As you know Easter was this past Sunday. It’s one of my favorite holidays – as holidays that involve a bunny always make the top of my list! Alas though, when I woke up Sunday morning it seems I had just missed Mr. Bunny.
But don’t worry, because the very special BarkBox Bunny never seems to miss my house, and this year was no exception. Check out the fun video of me diving into my Easter Basket:
That Barkbox Bunny knows just what kind of goodies I love!
After opening my basket I packed up and headed over to my mom-mom’s house where I was put in charge of hiding the easter eggs for all of my cousins (on account of I’m very good at finding hiding spots – mostly of the hole variety!).
That’s right, they’ll never find this one!
My cousins are pretty good at finding easter eggs, but I couldn’t let them have all the fun!
Too bad all the eggs I found had jelly beans in them….yuck!
After the egg hunt it was time for dinner. Unfortunately my family forgot to set a place for me at the table! Can you believe it! Don’t worry though, I found the perfect spot to look pathetic and got handed plenty of little nibbles.
And after I was nice and stuffed one of my cousins volunteered to take me for a walk. I burned off all those calories in a matter of minutes hunting for more easter bunnies!
How did you spend your Easter with your dog?
P.S. If your pup missed out on the BarkBox Bunny, don’t worry, you have until April 10th to get your dog a box of goodies in the mail this month. And don’t forget to use code AMMO5 for an awesome 10% off your order!

As you know on Sunday I celebrated my 6th Birthday by attending the Yuengling Oktoberfest Dachshund Races. Well when I go home later that day I got to do my very favorite part of Birthdays…..opening my presents!
I’m such a lucky dog to have so many presents to open, some from my mom and dad and some from some very sweet businesses!
I’m pretty much an expert at unwrapping gifts……my skills even landed me in a google commercial a few christmases ago! Check out how fast I am at unwrapping my gifts in the video below.
So just what did I score? Well mom and dad got me this handy Love Thy Beast Tote (that is plenty big enough for a 20lb dachshund like me), an Emergency First Aid Kit
My friends at Mattie & Margot also sent me some spiffy new collars that are perfect for fall and my pals over at Chewy.com sent me a package of Grandma Lucy’s Organic Blueberry Treats.
Grandma Lucy’s Treats smelled delicious and even looked like cute little teddy grahams. Full disclosure here, my dad thought they smelled so good that he tried them himself – and considering the ingredients are human grade, and made with no By-Products, no artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors, I’m not surprised that he found them very tasty.
But sorry dad, I don’t plan on sharing – you’ll just have to snag your own from Chewy.com.
My new friends over at My Fabulous Puppy also sent me one of their handmade sweaters. It’s cute and snuggly and perfect for fall!
So thanks to everyone who made my Birthday extra special – I can’t believe I have to wait another whole YEAR before I can celebrate again!
Disclosure: I received a product from Chewy.com in exchange for a review, but all opinions are entirely my own.
Summer is quickly coming to an end (how sad), and although there is lots to look forward to in the fall I’m still going to miss all the summertime fun. So I’ve been packing in as much excitement as I can!
I’ve been spending time with my favorite pony, Minnow, while he munches on the last bits of summer grass.
That Minnow is always trying to hog the camera with his cheesy smiles!
I’m also squeezing in trips to the hardware store – to help mom and dad finish up all our summer projects around the house.
I’m also taking as many trips to the lake with mom and dad that I can. Pretty soon it’ll be much to chilly on the water for me!
Mostly I’m just enjoying the warmth…..all before I have to break out my cool weather wardrobe!
What are you going to miss about the summer once it’s gone?
