These are my two best friends. Minnow the Painting Pony and Trooper. All three of us do lots of things together. Minnow and I get to perform together as Super Pony and Super Dog. Trooper and I mostly just wrestle. I’ve been feeling kinda bad that Trooper doesn’t get to go on big trips with me and Minnow, so I decided to do something special for him.

I’ve decided to take him on as my protege and train him to be MY sidekick, Super Trooper!

Minnow pretty much busted out laughing when I told him this.

After all, Trooper is a little big to fit through my hoop.

But I’m a pretty good trainer – so I know I’ll get my pal Trooper set straight! After all, he only has about 4 weeks to prepare for his…..

…… FIRST PERFORMANCE!

And the best part is …..Trooper has to perform in front of all my Dachshund friends at the Keystone Dachshund Races! It is certain to be epic!

Don’t worry, I told him I’d perform with him as the Star of the Show (so no one will notice too much when he messes up). So if you don’t want to miss Trooper’s debut performance – and my amazing wonderfulness, be sure to come to the Keystone Dachshund Races and watch us perform at lunch time! Admission is $2 – but it goes to charity!

P.S. I’ll be racing for Charity too! Although no promises on a winning race – I hear last year’s champion, Mr. Monkey, will be back to defend his title. I’m shaking in my boots!

Oh and in case I don’t embarrass myself enough on this blog. Here’s some photos from my first dachshund races when I was just 8 months old.

At least I won something.

The End.
