When Jealousy Strikes

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

When I suddenly found myself this summer the big brother to a tiny little human, I never imagined all the cool stuff that would come with her. Like this play yard for instance. I mean just look how cool it is with all the dangling dog toys and colorful shapes.

It was so cool in fact that my mom kept finding me inside it, mostly when my sister wasn’t occupying it, but occasionally I just couldn’t resist jumping in to play with her too.

Mom said as cute as it was that I wanted to share in my sisters playtime that it wasn’t really a good idea. Because even though I try my hardest to be gentle, I do have pointy nails, and a tail, and sometimes I don’t always look before I leap. (guilty as charged)

While this is all very true I admit, how was it fair that I didn’t get to play in her little pen with all the fun toys?

I guess I shouldn’t have worried too much, because did you know there is such a thing as a Portable Pet Pen?

That’s right, inside this bag is my very own personal play pen!

It popped open in seconds (you can check out a video of it in action), and I knew my sister was going to be so jealous when she saw what I got, but sorry sister, this pen is only for me!

It even had a built in doggie door just for little dogs my size!

Mom filled my pen with some of my favorite toys at the shop so when she can’t keep an eye on me I could safely play inside my pen.

Now my sister and I both have our own special containment areas to keep us safe. Mom doesn’t have to worry about me jumping on the baby accidentally when she’s busy working, and I don’t have to worry about my little sister trying to steal all my toys! Because lets face it, I’m way more spoiled than her in the toy department.

The best part though is we can still see each other through the breathable and see-through mesh walls, so I can still fulfill my big brother duties by keeping an eye on little sis.

Mom says these pens would also be great for puppies, taking pets on vacation, and even dogs that show and compete as they can be used outdoors as well!

Toy Troubles

A few weeks ago mom picked me out a new toy basket*.

Dog Toy Troubles

Once I got over the initial confusion on it’s intended use (I mean it “could” double as a dog bed don’t you think)….it was time to test out it’s real function in holding my toys.

This is going to be a much bigger adjustment than I thought. Perhaps some new toys for my basket with help me with this big change… *wink*

So when I got wind that my old fling, Amira, was back in town I knew I was going to have to do something special on February 14th.

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

So I popped over to Petsmart to snag Amira a gift from the Martha Stewart Pets line and set out to profess my love for her.

Only Amira is a bit high maintenance…..

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

One of my favorite days of the month is BarkBox day. The day when my monthly subscription of goodies arrives at my door.

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

Everything is always so yummy and fun to play with that I can hardly wait to dive right in. It’s seriously THE BEST DAY EVER.

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

That is until my mom says it’s time for bed! This is what my face looks like when I’m told I’ll have to hold off playing with my Barkbox until tomorrow. I call it the “what the what?” face.

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

So reluctantly I get into bed, with my full Super Hero outfit on of course, because real Super Heroes are always ready at a moments notice.

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

I fight dreamland for as long as I can, when I suddenly remember….

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

“Dad! You forgot to read me my bedtime story!!”

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

Super Heroes can’t go to bed without a bedtime story!

Thankfully my Dad obliges, and reads me my favorite book, SuperDog; The Heart of a Hero. (which by the way, I love this book so much that I even helped read it to an elementary school class).

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

The adventures of Dex the Dachshund drift me off to dreamland and I have visions of saving cats from trees, and helping old ladies cross the street.

The sandman is about to pay a visit to me, when I suddenly remember…

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

I can’t possibly go to bed without the Star Stuffie that came in my BarkBox! What if he gets scared in that box all by himself at night?

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

And you know what Dad, Mr. Star missed the whole SuperDog story, so you’re going to have to read it again!

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

Goodnight sweet friends! Hopefully the world will continue to be a safe place even while this hero is getting some shut eye.

Super Hero Bedtime Story with Ammo the Dachshund

And incase you’re wondering, my BarkBox was still waiting for me the next day when I woke up!

Fall with Martha Stewart

A couple of months ago Trooper and I got the opportunity to have a little fashion show with the new Martha Stewart Fall Pet Line, available at Petsmart.

The end result landed a photo of me on MarthaStewart.com – pretty exciting!

The fact is though, mom took so many fun photos of Trooper and I enjoying our new Martha Stewart products – that we had to share all the others that didn’t make the cut!

Especially since they are the PERFECT thing to put everyone in the Halloweenie mood!

Honestly, what’s more Halloweenie than a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin?

Trooper totally had his eye on the Martha Stewart toys, and I bet he was thinking he’d get to take them home with him after our little photoshoot.

Sorry Trooper, I’ll share my Halloweenie collar with you, but these toys are mine….all mine!

Yesterday my buddy Trooper came to hang out with me at the shop. We have a lot of fun together, and he’s always been my very favorite cuddle buddy.

As fun as it is to have a pal at work, sometimes being a shop dog can get downright boring!

But don’t worry, I have the absolute best method for curing shop dog boredom….

Treat dispensing toys! Woohoo!

Now seriously, what’s more fun than a toy that pops out cookies when you play with it? Nothing, the answer is nothing!
