How to Pad-Train Your Dog

How to Pad-Train Your Dog | Pad-training Penny was one of the best decisions I ever made! It has made traveling with her so much easier than I could have imagined! However, pad-training is definitely not a good option for every dog, especially not for very large dogs or males that lift their leg. A lot of trainers actually disapprove of pad-training because it can be extremely difficult for many dogs to learn – this is one of those things that you shouldn't

How to Make a Felt Boa

How to Make a Felt Boa | I was feeling crafty today and decided to make something I've dubbed the "felt boa." It's like a feather boa, but more colorful, less messy, and honestly, way cooler looking! I was at Hobby Lobby when I saw this thing (pictured below) that I thought was super cool, but definitely didn't want to pay $14 for. Whenever I see something that I could make for a lot cheaper than I could buy it for, I'm ready

Penny’s Beauty Routine

Let's Take a Shelfie: Penny's Beauty Routine | Penny gets lots of compliments on her beautiful hair, so I thought we'd share her beauty routine!

Her mom, Lola, has super short red hair – the type of Dachshund most people picture in their heads – and her dad, Hondo, has very long, luxurious, black and tan hair. Penny ended up being the cutest mix of both! When I first got her, pretty much
