Super Hero Bedtime Story

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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).

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…

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?

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

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

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

If you’d like to fetch your dog a reason to fight bedtime too, you can grab a subscription to BarkBox with code AMMO for 10% OFF!

You can also snag a FREE Bully Stick (my favorite) from the BarkShop for all orders with code AMMO.

Does your dog have a hard time falling asleep when they get new toys too? I’m always trying to sneak toys into my bed at night!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Furiends!

And thanks to Barkbox I even have a happy little chef to help me in the kitchen this year. Although I totally have my eye on him as I caught him sneaking some of my beef stew already!

If he behaves perhaps I’ll let him lick the after dinner plates with me.

But you know, the real fun always comes after the big feast, when everyone hunkers down on the couch to snooze off all that turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes.

My Bags are Packed // Ammo the Dachshund

Last year for Thanksgiving I headed south to North Carolina to visit family. My road trip was so much fun that I’ve decided it was time for another adventure this Thanksgiving. So today I’m on my way (with Trooper too) to Charleston, South Carolina for a couple of days of fun with my family!

I’m sure my days will be filled with lots of adventure, I’m especially looking forward to playing on the beach with Trooper! Don’t worry, when I return I’ll be sure to fill you in on all the fun I’ve had, but in the meantime I’ll be sure to post pictures of my road trip on Facebook and Instagram as I travel.

And if anyone knows any fun dog-friendly adventures in and around the Charleston, South Carolina area post them in the comments section!

I’ve meticulously packed my bag with everything I might need for my trip. You can check out what I typically pack for a road-trip, and I always make sure to store the phone numbers for emergency vets in mom’s phone as well as bringing along my DIY Pet First Aid Kit.

I was also super excited when just in time for my trip my November Barkbox showed up at my door.

Mom even set aside these Turkey chews for Trooper and I to have on Thanksgiving day!

Of course she let me have a little goodie before the trip to wet my whistle – even the dental chews were mighty tasty.
