Somethings Missing

Cricket and I are sad. Sad because something is missing.

It’s Spider the Kitten.

Mom says not to worry, because Spider just had to visit the vet for a few days to get spayed, and that she’ll be back before we know it.

So me and Cricket are going to sit and wait for our feisty little friend to return to the farm. Because things just aren’t the same without her.

P.S. Want to hear all about mom’s trip with Boomerang to the Horse World Expo? And their Extreme Cowboy Race Competition? Check out the ponie’s blog entry all about it HERE!

Fight Club

It always starts so innocently. You’re just having a good sniff in the wilderness with your best pal….

….and then the next thing you know, you’re fighting over a towel.

Sometimes you can win the fight…..

….and then other days you’re just feeling really weak restricted by some cumbersome winter coats.

So if you think you “might” lose, there is always one full-proof plan.

Run to mom for help.

And then when your opponent gets scolded by mom…..you attack!

Playing dead afterward will ensure that you get lots of loving from mom.

Now go forth and be victorious. And please, don’t tell Trooper my fighting secrets.

Going Bald

I don’t know what to think. Every time I come to the farm it seems like Boomerang is loosing more and more hair. Honestly, I’m a little scared I might be next!

Hang in there pal. I really hope it all grows back!

Snowcat

Yesterday we got more snow. It was fantastic. Everything smells different when it snows.

It’s like I get to re-sniff everything I sniffed before. Even my pal Spider the Kitten likes the snow.

I pretty much taught her everything she knows.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to exploring my new world.

Cats Climb Trees and Dogs Eat Sticks

Ok fine, maybe cats can eat sticks too…..but it’s not fair that I can’t climb trees!

Regardless, the bigger Spider the Kitten gets, the more fun we have!

Here’s a few videos to prove it…..

She just better teach me how to climb trees soon!

My Shadow

I have a shadow, as in a kitten shadow, as in Spider the Kitten.

See at the farm it’s MY JOB to help mom bring hay to the ponies! Well now that Spider is getting bigger, she’s trying to be just like me. I mean I know I’m pretty cool, but does she have to do everything I do?

What’s even worse is that she’s trying to show me up!

True, sometimes I get a little distracted from my duties.

It’s kinda hard not to get distracted when there are so many great smells.

But really Spider? Do you have to ride in the wheel barrel and help hand out hay? Come on. You’re making me look bad!

Leaving on a Jet Plane…

My mom is getting ready to go on a trip……without me! (Someone hold me) And what makes it even worse is that Boomerang gets to go and I don’t!

I have hatched a scheme to hideout in her suitcase, so we’ll see how that goes.

See, Boomerang and mom have been accepted to compete in the Extreme Cowboy Race at the Horse World Expo in Harrisburg, PA February 24 – 27th. I don’t really understand it because mom doesn’t even own a cowboy hat! Which reminds me, maybe if I get a cowboy hat and boots mom will let me come along.

Mom says she wishes very much I could come along, but apparently the Expo doesn’t allow dogs. Stupid if you ask me. What’s a cowboy without his best dog? Seriously.

So until my mom abandons me, I’ve been helping her get Boomerang ready for the big event.

Not trying to brag, but I pretty much taught Boomerang how to be an awesome cowboy cowhorse bronco or whatever he’s supposed to be. After toting him around all over the county for the past Month and a half, I think he’s finally ready.

Just check out this video of Boomerang Practicing last weekend:

So I guess I’ll just have to hang with dad next week while mom’s gone. Boomerang better bring me back a trophy or something after all the hard work I put into training him…..or I’m gonna be peeved!

Also, mom, I expect presents upon your return. Thank you.

Ponies + Dachshund + Snow = Fun

My snow day recap…..

Me: I will Blitz! Just as soon as I get my snow suit on!

Blitz: But me and Boomer have already started having fun without you!

Me: Nooooo! I’m coming! Don’t have anymore fun without me!

Me: I’d be there faster if you came and helped me dig myself out!

Sigh.

Sometimes I just miss out on all the fun!

 

All-Weather Farm Dog

I’ll be the first to admit that rainy, wet, and cold weather are not my FAVORITE type of days. I’d much rather have a sunny/warm day to go sunbathing, chase bugs and play in the dirt.

So when we arrived at the farm on Tuesday morning, I’ll admit, I thought long and hard about crying until mom put me back in the car.

But then I remembered….

No. 1 …I’m not a Pansie

No. 2…There was no way I was gonna let a little sleeting rain and ice make me miss all the fun!
