Sledding

Posted on by

Yes, that’s right…..I’m a sledding expert!

Take me to the mountain please!

The only bad part about sledding in the horse pasture at the farm…..you have to look out for frozen “horse” piles! (makes for a bumpy ride)

Is someone gonna push me or what?

Woohoo!

The hardest part about sledding is walking your sled back up the hill!

Just beware….sledding can be chilly…..

…but a couple extra layers of clothing should do the trick!

Any of my doggie pals been sledding this winter? Post your sledding pictures on my Facebook Page!

Penny Saver

Over the weekend mom went shopping at the outlets in Lancaster, PA. You can bet I was kinda bummed to be missing all the fun.

But, the good news is that she returned with a little present for me. And I’m sure you all know how much I love presents! Mom brought me back this cute silver-plated Dachshund bank, so I can save up my allowance!

Mom said she snagged him on sale at the Pottery Barn Outlet for $9! I’m so excited to start dropping my pennies in him! What do you think I should save for?

P.S. Mom said that the Dachshund Banks are on sale on the Pottery Barn website for $26.99 – click here to check them out!

Squeak no More

On Friday I said goodbye to one of my favorite toys. Mr. Happy face. You might remember him from a little giveaway I tried to do on my blog back in October. Everyone was supposed to guess how long I kept him alive…..but it didn’t really work because I kept him alive FOREVER! That’s right, I’ve had him since OCTOBER – that’s like 4 months!

I really don’t know why I decided Friday was the day he had to go, it was just time. Sorry Mr. Happy face – maybe someday we will meet again.

Duds and Buds

Check it out, this came in the mail for me a few days ago. Mom said it was a little surprise for me, because I’m such a good boy!

I look super dashing in my new harness made by my pal Baxter’s mom. And guess what? It’s heavy duty so I can get “down and dirty” during all my adventures! I’ll definitely have to break it in with a little romp in the horse manure pile later.

I also hung out with my new buddy all day.

Well at least until I decided he’d be a lot more fun to chew on than hang out with!

Oh what fun it is to play….

Do you remember the toy hamster my dad got me for Christmas? Well, I finally got a chance to play with him last week! And boy was he a barrel of laughs!

Don’t worry, no hamsters were harmed in the making of these videos!

2011 Dachshund Goals

Posted on by

Instead of doing “NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS” I’m going to come up with a list of goals. Things I’d like to do and accomplish this year. My mom made a list of her own for the Trick Ponies (and me) so now it’s my turn to figure out exactly what I want to do this year.

So here’s my list of goals for 2011:

1. Take another agility class or maybe even COMPETE in agility

2. Actually win a race at the Dachshund Races this year

3. Make MORE artwork

4. Visit some nursing homes

5. Perform more with the Trick Ponies

6. Learn at least 10 new tricks

7. Dress up more often

8. Go on vacation

9. Try something new

10. Giggle more

Phew. That was a little harder than I thought! Now do you think I can do it? Have any ideas of what I should add to my list? Anyone learn any new tricks already? (I need to get cracking on that goal)

Christmas Wrap-up

Posted on by

I know Christmas is long over, but…..I forgot to tell you about some of the cool things my mom & dad got for Christmas. Honestly, I think there was a mistake, and they were supposed to be for me – Santa must have gotten confused. Either way, I’m sure mom and dad won’t mind if I play with them too!

Mom got a super cool Dachshund pen. I think it looks like me, don’t you?

Photobooth Dogs! Ahhhh! Santa must read my blog!

101 dog tricks! Santa knows me well!

Mom got the super cool Silhouette SD – master at cutting crafts….you know I got lots of projects up my sleeves paws for 2011! Humm, I’m thinking Ammo the Dachshund die cut stickers to plaster all over the World….the possibilities are endless!

Mom’s big gift from Dad – a phone with internet capabilities! We all know this was really just a gift for me….you know, so I can update my facebook page and blog on the fly. Afterall, it’s got my picture on it doesn’t it?

Now all I gotta do is get to the store to pick out which phone I want. Do you think they have ones with buttons big enough for paws?

Bringing in 2011

Dude, I totally know how to party. Here’s a few of my favorite things to make any New Year’s Party a blast!

Funny wardrobe, check.

Friends to party with, check.

Sad puppy eyes so friends will share their drinks, check.

(Don’t worry it was only sparkling grape juice)

Some good entertainment, check.

And lastly, a place to crash when the party’s over, check.

Hope your New Year’s Bash was as fun as mine!

Portrait

Posted on by

Right before Christmas me and Mom started working on a little Christmas gift for Dad. I knew my Dad would LOVE it!

I had to sit really really still for hours on end!

Ok fine…..mom just used a picture of me for reference because I wouldn’t sit still. Being a portrait model is BORING!

Mom said it’s really hard to capture my adorable cuteness in paint…..but she tried her best. I think it’s pretty good, considering mom said she hasn’t painted in several years!

After a professional looking frame job down at the shop, it was ready for Dad to open on Christmas morning.

Now my likeness is hanging prominently on the wall in the dining room. You can bet when guests come over I brag about it all the time! Even though we all know the real life version is way cuter. 🙂
