We are Still Alive
I haven’t had time to blog but we have still had time to get out for some hiking. Hope to catch you all up soon.
Our Build a Business Blog Contest Video Revealed
Last week we created our video entry for the Build a Business Blog Contest. We didn’t win but are very excited that our Pal Snoopy did! Some of you have asked to see our video so here it is. I hope you enjoy it…or at least get a good giggle at my awkwardness
Weiner Sitting Four
So we’re a little late to the party today. We have still been struggling to get back to mischief while being super busy taking care of family business. Surprisingly, we have managed to still grab a pretty bit piece of the pie. The biggest news is on a personal note. It is official – I...
Getting Back to Mischief
Well, our week in Sequim turned into two, which turned into being overwhelmed and busy with “tasks” almost every waking moment. Not that I am complaining. Life sometimes does that too you. However, it has left no time for blogging…as you have probably noticed by our lack of posts. Things have eased up a bit...

BlogPaws 2012 or Bust
I was still pretty new to blogging in August last year. I heard about a cool conference called BlogPaws. BlogPaws is a conference for pet bloggers that brings you workshops and lectures on subjects that helps you be a better, more successful blogger. Last year the conference was on the east coast. I wanted to...
Week in Sequim
Well, this past week has not exactly been the kind of adventure we like around here. Last Friday Gretel and I headed over to Sequim, WA on the Olympic Peninsula to visit my Grandparents. Gretel and I stay in my Grandparent’s guest house when we visit. I had a really good time with my Grandparents...
Grain-Free Diet Update Week 2
When we announced that we were switching to grain-free kibble the support was overwhelming. I didnt have one person say it didnt work for them. Everyone had rave reviews and said it made a big difference. A lot of those people offered some good advice. Jenn ay Health Mutt and Kols Notes gave me the...

Our Weekend Desert Adventure
This last weekend we decided to escape all the rain and gloom and head east of the mountains to the sunshine. We headed over to Eastern Washington to visit my friend in the desert town of Moses Lake (Yes, we have lush mountains, coast beaches and desert within a few hours of each other in...
Dining in Style
Along with new food, I decided to get Gretel and Chester new placemats and bowls. Well, Gretel didn’t get a new bowl because I love her polka dot bowl we already have. I found all of this stuff on Etsy. This is Chester’s new urban folk art, neoprene rubber dog food placemat. The artist said,...
Gretels Sordid Past
As most of you know, we rescued Gretel in November of 2010. We can’t believe how lucky we were to find her at a rescue. She has grown in confidence since we brought her into our home and she has grown to be quite the little clown. She will always lean towards the shy side...

Must-see Seattle Waterfront Park and Landmark
Everyone who comes to Seattle knows about the famous Pike Place Market. The open air portion of the market is dog-friendly so visitors with dogs often stop there. If you are like me, you like to get off the beaten path. I often visit places and wish I knew about the less-visited gems that the...
Lazer Light Frenzy
I announced last week on our Facebook Page that I realized life had gotten a little overwhelming here at the Adventureweiner household. Not to be a downer, but I got some bad family news this last weekend that was the final straw. I gave it some hard thought and this community is important to me....
She Wore a Polka Dot Jacket
Today’s review is in pictures because this super cute jacket speaks for itself….almost. We actually ordered this last year at Poochapalooza but Gretel hasn’t worn it much yet. The reason is because this is an indoor or dry-weather jacket and we haven’t had much dry weather since we got it. The brightly colored polka dots...
Adventure in Internets #3
We cant always be outside playing even though we sure wish we could. While we are indoors our adventures are pretty much restricted to surfing the Internet. We want to share with you a few cool places we have been. This is an oldie (we just finally got to sharing this with you) but goodie....

Snowshoeing with Your Small Dog 101 Part VIII Extended Trip Safety
The subject this week is somewhat long and dry. I wrote my post on safety and then realized it was way too long for someone to read in one sitting (I am a blogger not a novelist). As with the previous post on short day trip safety, I tried to make a somewhat long, boring...
Snowshoeing with Your Small Dog 101 Part VII Short Day Trip Safety
I hope you have enjoyed the Snowshoeing with Your Small Dog 101 Series so far. When I was thinking what to make todays post about I couldnt decide if I wanted to tell you about some of our favorite trails, and trail resources first, or talk to you about safety when Snowshoeing with Your Small...
Poo Poo Point Hike
No, I did not get poo on my hand again. Last weekend we got two special treats. We had an Adventureweiner friend, Spartacus, come and stay with us. We also had a rare winter (weekend) day of sun and clear blue skies. It was the perfect recipe for a hike so we loaded our gear...
Zukes Hip Action: Glucosamine Supplement in a Yummy Treat
The use of Glucosamine to help your dog with joint mobility issues, prevent further deterioration in their joints and to alleviate osteoarthritis pain has gotten very popular. I have read several accounts of great success. I wanted to start Chester on Glucosamine so I bought him a joint supplement. The Pet Arthritis Resource Center recommends...
Zukes Hip Action Giveaway
Zuke’s Hip Action is choice for joint supplementation. At 300 mg per treat, it contains one of the highest concentrations of glucosamine I have seen in a traditional treat….and Chester and Gretel love them. I contacted Zukes about their Hip Action treats and they generously offered to also send us TWO packages of Hip Action...
Best Grain-free Kibble for Small, Active Dogs The Nitty Gritty
Once I decided to change Chester and Gretels diet to grain-free, I dove into researching the different options out there. When I started I didn’t know much beyond” it’s a good thing to do.” I started out with some basic research. After that, the extensive research began. As you have seen in some of my...
Grain-free Kibble Research The Basics
I decided to change Chester and Gretel’s traditional kibble to grain-free because of the many health benefits of this diet. Some of my other friends are feeding raw but grain-free kibble is the best choice for me because it is more convenient and the best choice for those on a tight schedule (like me). I...

Snowshoeing with Your Small Dog Part VI How Many Calories Do You Burn?
One of my most popular posts is How Many Calories Do You Burn Walking Your Dog? In this snowshoeing series, I have told you several times that snowshoeing burns significantly more calories than walking alone. I told you that snowshoeing is almost as easy as walking. I say almost because you WILL sweat more. Sweating...
Thems Some Big Boots
On a rainy, cold windy day we planned to go for a hike we wimped out. We decided to do something local. Because I am always looking for things that we havent done before, I hopped on the internet and started searching. I looked up sculptures in Seattle. I knew about the famous Fremont Troll,...
Lazy or Short on Time? Get Dog Food Delivered to Your Doorstep
Let me start by saying that my first choice is always to buy food, treats and other stuff for Chester and Gretel from local, independent pet stores. I believe in putting my money back into the local economy and supporting the small guy. That being said, between working a full time job, spending 20 hours...
Hollywood Here We Come
Like our friend Crusoe, our star is rising. We are getting better known around these parts. We are being talked about all over town and people are starting to recognize us. The owner of Health Mutt emailed me to tell me about a guy that came into the store the other day. He showed her...
