Devil Dog

Corrin | A Day in The Life | Tuesday, 17 January 2012

Ollie is an angel…most days. And then we have days like today where all he does is stare at us and bark like he’s been possessed by the devil.

He’s still cute though.

Legend of the Honey Badger and the Wiener Dog

Corrin | A Day in The Life | Saturday, 14 January 2012

My friend and fellow dachshund lover, Angie, shared this video on Facebook and guess who makes an appearance at 1:14? I had to watch it a few times just to make sure – but that’s Ollie in his cowboy hat!

He could totally take a honey badger.

Lands’ End Hand Knit Pet Sweater

Corrin | A Day in The Life,Toys & Treats | Monday, 12 December 2011

I included the cutest, preppiest, most adorable little hand-knit cable pet sweater from Lands’ End in my gifts for pets post and look what Lands’ End sent for Ollie – he looks like he’s ready to hit the slopes, right?


Ollie’s no stranger to sweaters and hoodies, but this little sweater is extra perfect for dachshunds because it’s nice and long (the small fit Ollie perfectly – all 12 pounds of him – and extended all the way to the base of his tail) and there are slits instead of sleeves to accommodate broad chests and short legs. The knitting is extremely high quality and the wool is nice and thick while the sweater is still easy for Ollie to maneuver around in. There’s even a little slit for his leash to attach to his collar – perfect for our daily walks.

Another great thing about this sweater? Lands’ End has partnered with a company that provides income for local artisans. The sweater is made by the Quechua Indians of South America. Each sweater is handmade, one of a kind, and knit from the wool of largely free-range sheep, dyed with all-natural plant dye – great if you have a pet with extra sensitive skin.

My sister bought one for her dachshund and a friend bought one for her poodle, so it’s safe to say we recommend this dog sweater for all the pooches in your life! (And if I’m not mistaken, there’s a 40% off Lands’ End promo good though today! Promotion Code: SNOWSHOE PIN: 1051)

The lovely people at Lands’ End provided Ollie with the pet sweater for review. All opinions are 100% my own. Please see my site policy with any questions.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Corrin | A Day in The Life | Thursday, 24 November 2011

You didn’t really think Ollie would let a holiday pass without celebrating properly, did you? Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We hope you enjoy some time with friends and family (or at least the day off of work).

Please take a second to read the 10 Thanksgiving foods not to feed your dog so that we can be thankful for our best friends again next year.
