I hear that this weekend a big snowstorm is headed my way. So far they are predicting 12 – 18 inches of the fluffy white stuff.
Don’t worry though, I’m totally prepared and have already readied my snow day outfit! Bring on Blizzard Jonas! After all, I’ve weathered my fair share of snow storms over the years….
…and so many more it’s hard to count!
So which dogs out there are excited to get some snow tomorrow?
Do you see this picture of me? While I’m super adorable and all (we all knew that), there is something missing, something really important on today of all days.
It’s a hat! Because today I’m told, is National Hat Day! And since I couldn’t just wear any old hat, mom helped me make a few fun paper hats so I could have a little dress up fun.
Pretty fun right? So go grab yourself a hat (or make one if you’re so inclined) and join me today for National Hat Day!
Which one of my hats is your favorite?
It’s everyone’s favorite time of the month….time for me to sleep my way through this blog post! Here’s where I’ve been laying my head this past month….
Which spot would you be sleeping in if you were me?
Check out where else I’ve been sleeping in my “Oh the Places You Sleep” series!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope you all have the merriest of Christmases! I’m taking a little blogging break between now and New Years to catch up on all my sleep. But I’ll be back in 2016 with more adventures to share!
Thanks for sticking around for all the fun!
Happy Holidays!
It’s crunch time for me and my mom this week at the shop, so I’ve got my very best helper hat on and I’m busy busy helping mom finish up all the picture framing orders.
So I don’t have a fun video, or a long adventure post, or even any pictures of me on the farm to share today…..just little old me in my very best helper hat.
It’s a very important job being a helper dog, and I hope you’ll understand that today all my helper duties are being used at the shop!
Until my next adventure that is! See you soon. xoxo,

So when my mom and dad upgraded my kitchen this summer, they also upgraded the dining room table too.
(and yes, I know I STILL haven’t shared the “after” images of my DIY Kitchen remodel, but my dad still has some things he’s finishing up. And being a perfectionist, he wants me to share my beautiful kitchen when it’s COMPLETELY done!)
Being that it’s the month of family gatherings and holiday dinners, I thought my table could use a little something to festive it up.
So when I received a package from my friends over at Lupo & Olimp, I was thrilled to find something to not only dress up me….but my table too!
This beautiful handmade linen tablecloth features some very talented dachshunds baking apple strudel. Yum!
The really fun part is that it even comes with a tasty Apple Strudel recipe so you can make some at home too.
Each dachshund in the design is modeled after a real life dachshund! See anyone you know?
The Apple Strudel design even comes in a fun tea towel too!
So I decided there was only one thing to do with my new linen table cloth….I threw on my adorable new Lupo & Olimp fleece and invited some of my friends to a dinner party!
Only Mr. Reindeer and Toy Minnow could show up (and mom wouldn’t let me bring the real Minnow the pony in the house….boo!), but that’s ok, because that means more food for me!
I wonder if Apple Strudel is made with bacon?
All my dinner guests were admiring my beautiful handmade fleece from Lupo & Olimp. And I have to say, it’s one of the thickest, warmest coats I’ve ever worn.
These awesome coats come in lots of other fun designs too, and the best part is they can be custom made to fit your own dachshund’s unique shape.
All the way from Poland, and sewn with love and care, I can’t wait to strut my stuff this winter in these warm and cozy fleeces. My ponies are going to be so jealous when they see them!
You can still fetch some of these fun fleeces and home accessories in time for Christmas from Lupo & Olimp.
And now for the best part…

My holiday spirit is in full swing, and last weekend it was time for me to venture out in search of my very special Christmas tree.
Dad was leading the way, and when Dad leads the way I know we’re going to be on the hunt for hours until he finds the absolute PERFECT Christmas tree.
Good thing mom thought ahead and packed me a snack.
These Sojos Simply Lamb Freeze-Dried Treats from my friends at Chewy.com were just what I needed to keep my energy up on the hunt for my tree.
Key Benefits
Yum!
My tree hunting snack worked too, because it gave me the boost I needed to find THE PERFECT HOLIDAY TREE!
With a little help from Dad and his sawing skills, we chopped down the tree I picked out and headed home.
Then it was time for the fun part. Parking myself on the couch to watch mom and dad decorate my tree.
Paws crossed Santa brings me more Sojos treats from Chewy.com! You can fetch some for your dog from my friends at Chewy.
Does your dog help to supervise decorating your tree?

The holidays are upon us, and it’s this time of year that I especially like to remember those that are less fortunate. Which is why I was so excited to partner with my friends at Tractor Supply Company® for a special project involving my local SPCA.
Tractor Supply is a huge supporter of animals rescues. Not only do they host a social media contest every year that awards $25,000 in grants to 10 deserving organizations, but on a local level they make their stores available to rescue groups to host adoption events and fundraisers. And they even provide low-cost, walk-in clinics through PetVet Clinics.
So when Tractor Supply gave me the opportunity to go shopping for my local animal rescue at their store I could hardly wait!
The best part is that all TSC stores are pet friendly! So you can bring your llama, your guinea pig, your pony, and your dog shopping with you! Next time I’m bringing Minnow the pony with me.
Armed with the wish list of the Chester County SPCA (my local rescue) I roamed the isles adding everything they needed to make this the best holiday ever to some special dogs and cats.
Tractor Supply not only has lots of farm related goodies (which is where I shop for lots of my ponies needs), but they also have everything you would need for the health and well-being of your dog or cat. From flea preventatives to supplements and toys to training devices.
Because I wanted to stretch my dollar as far as I could for all the deserving pets at the SPCA I was on the lookout for products that would be great for the animals, but also cost effective too.
I was sure to snag some of the 4Health™ Dog Food Brand, an affordable, premium-quality cat and dog food, exclusively made for Tractor Supply in the USA with high-quality and grain free formulas available. My friends at the SPCA are going to love it!
I also snatched up some canned pet food from the 4Health Tractor Supply dog food line and some of these tasty looking treats from DogforDog®.
DogforDog is especially great, because with every purchase of their products they donate to animal rescues. So by grabbing some of their soft treats to gift to my local rescue, I was also helping to donate funds to another shelter in need.
So with my cart finally full I was ready to make my way to the checkout (where the cashiers always have a cookie waiting for visiting pets!).
I can’t wait to take all these fun goodies from Tractor Supply Company to the SPCA this weekend! It makes my heart happy to help some of the less fortunate dogs and cats out there this holiday season.
I highly recommend swinging by your neighborhood TSC store the next time you need something for your furry friend.
What sort of things will you be doing to help those in need this holiday season? If you’d like to find out some other helpful ways you can help animals in need, be sure to check out my helping paw page!

Even though Thanksgiving hasn’t quite arrived yet, we all have the next big holiday on our minds, Christmas!
And as much as you don’t want to admit it, I know you’re all looking forward to one thing…..THE PRESENTS! (well and maybe all the holiday snacks too).
Since I love presents about as much as I love rolling in stink on the farm (and that’s a lot!), I’m so excited to share with you Stardust Prints! They’re an online shop that can help you “Unwrap Imagination” by creating your very own custom gift wrap.
See, if you look a little closer, you’ll notice that cute little dachshund in a Santa hat on my gift wrap is me!! How cool is that?
At Stardust prints you can upload your own photo and have it turned into wrapping paper!
Since Christmas is almost here, and I’ve got lots of goodies to wrap up for all my dog friends, I decided to use a photo of me from last year in my Santa hat. (but you can use any photo, even one that has a distracting background)
Then you can choose a wrapping paper design from Stardust Prints. They have several to choose from, and not just Christmas themed ones either.
I decided to go with the Hot Choc pattern, if only because it had an awesome polar bear on it!
Then the folks at Stardust Prints cuts the star of your photo (that’s me of course) out of it’s background, add it to your wrapping paper design, and mail you a 24 x 72-inch roll, which is enough to wrap 3-5 presents.
When it arrived it was almost too cute to unwrap….but that didn’t really stop me from sinking my teeth in!
Well that is until mom informed me that there would be no unwrapping of gifts until December 25th. Boohoo!
If you’d like to snag some of this super fun customizable gift wrap for all your friends this season, be sure to visit Stardust Prints!
And now for the best part….

It’s the best day ever! It’s time to share my monthly round-up of all the fabulous places I’ve been sleeping the past 4 weeks in my Oh The Places You Sleep Series.
As it starts to get cooler in Pennsylvania you’ll notice I’m doing a lot more blanket snuggling, and curling up. Before you know it I’ll need to break out my heat lamp to keep warm during my napping sessions!
Enjoy Vol. 8 of my Oh the Places You Sleep Series!
Which napping spot is your favorite this month?
