Ahoy, me hearties! Captain Mojo's crew is all geared up and ready for a swashbuckling adventure.
From the Crow's Nest
Ahoy, me hearties! Captain Mojo here, reporting from the poop deck (don't worry, my human just cleaned it). There's a very important holiday coming up where all the landlubbers get to talk like us sophisticated sea dogs. That's right, it's "Talk Like a Pirate Day"!
It's a day for chasing treasure (like that one squeaky ball that rolled under the couch), demanding treats, and celebrating your loyal first mate—your pup! Whether you're a seasoned swashbuckler or just learning your "Aarghs" from your "Ahoy's," I'm here to share my expert guide to making this the most fun and adventurous day of the year.
So, get ready to hoist the sails (or at least, the leash)! Let's dig in!

It doesn't matter if the trip is just to the corner store or all the way to the ocean. The best adventures are the ones I get to take with my favorite people.
How to Talk Like a Salty Dog (and Other Pirate Essentials)
Alright, listen up, ye scallywags! If you're going to join my crew for the day, you need to learn the lingo. Impressin' your pup is all about confidence and the right vocabulary. Here are a few essential phrases to get you started:
Ahoy, Matey! - A friendly way to say "Hello, friend!" (I use this one when I see a particularly promising-looking squirrel).
Shiver me timbers! - An expression of shock or surprise. (Perfect for when your human drops a piece of cheese on the floor).
Show me the booty! - "Booty" is treasure, which to a discerning pup, means treats. Use this to demand your fair share of the loot.
Landlubber - A non-flattering term for someone who isn't used to life at sea. (Like the cat).
This is my serious "Where's the treasure?" face. (The treasure is usually hidden in the snack cabinet).
Beyond the Lingo: Planning Your Adventure
"Talk Like a Pirate Day" isn't just about talking—it's about doing! Here are a few simple adventures you can go on with your furry first mate:
Go on a Treasure Hunt: Hide a few of your dog's favorite toys or some high-value treats around the house or yard and help them "sniff out" the treasure.
Build a Pillow Fort: Every pirate crew needs a secret hideout. A good old-fashioned pillow and blanket fort is the perfect place to plot your adventures and count your treasure (snacks).
Have a Pirate Movie Marathon: Cuddle up on the couch and watch a classic swashbuckling film. I'm a big fan of any movie where the dog is clearly the smartest member of the crew.
The Pirate's Code
✅ DO!
Share your "booty" (your snacks) with your loyal first mate.
Use a fun, piratey voice when you talk to your dog all day.
Give extra belly rubs to your hardworking crew members (your pup).
Build an epic pillow fort to serve as your pirate ship.
🚫 DON'T!
Make your pup walk the plank. A nice walk in the park is much better!
Forget to take lots of pictures of your swashbuckling adventures.
Let the cat be the captain. Everyone knows the dog is in charge.
Scare your pup with loud "Arrrghs!" Keep it fun and positive.
Gear Up, Me Hearties!
Every legendary pirate captain needs to look the part, and so does their loyal crew! To celebrate this most important of holidays, my humans have helped me create a limited-edition "Pirate Pup" Collection, featuring a custom portrait of your own furry swashbuckler.
The Captain's Crew T-Shirt
Turn your pup into the captain of your crew with our premium t-shirt, featuring their custom "Pirate Pup" portrait framed in a classic ship's porthole.
The "Grog" Mug
Every pirate needs a proper mug for their grog (or, in my case, a refreshing bowl of water). Our durable enamel camp mug is the perfect vessel for any beverage, featuring your pup's custom pirate portrait.
The Jolly Roger Bandana
Let your dog fly their true colors! Our "Jolly Roger" bandana features a fun, repeating pattern of pirate icons and is personalized with your dog's name in a bold, swashbuckling font.
Get the Official Soundtrack!
Every great adventure needs a great soundtrack! I've curated a soulful, adventurous playlist for the open road and the high seas. It's a collection of folksy sea shanties and classic story songs for the thoughtful pirate. The perfect mood music for your day of swashbuckling!
