Today I look a lot like this:
Because yesterday I was at the Keystone Dachshund Races, and I did a lot of this:
and this:
and I even won a few of these:
So, even though I love each and every one of you. You’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to hear all about my fantastic adventures. Because I’m still doing a lot of this:
So peace out pooches! Until tomorrow!
P.S. if you really can’t wait to see how I did at the races, head on over to my facebook page!
The Devon Horse Show is a yearly tradition for me. In fact, I’ve been attending every year since I was about 12 weeks old. If you have no idea what Devon is – here’s a little history lesson for you:
In 1896, the Devon Horse Show started as a one-day show. Now, years later, it has become the oldest and largest outdoor multi-breed competition in the United States. It is internationally recognized, USEF-A rated, and one of the most exciting events to happen in Chester County. While it draws top competitors from around the world, the show continues to reflect the local traditions and lifestyles of the Philadelphia Main Line.
Needless to say it’s full of fancy people in big hats, dogs, horses, carriages, funnel cake, amusement rides, shopping, and apparently sheep! Yes, that’s right sheep.
See my pal Trooper (the Australian Shepherd/Labrador) told me that there was going to be sheep herding at Devon this year. I knew that was something not to be missed. And since Trooper was too tired to come, I video taped most of it for him.
I guess it was pretty cool – although I’d still take my groundhog holes over herding around some sheep. To each his own.
After the sheep herding demo I was pretty famished, so I headed over to the concessions to grab some funnel cake.
Then I indulged mom and did a little shopping with her at Anthropologie.
Mom bought this:
Which I would have been much more thrilled about had it come with cookies in it. Ok, now I’m drooling.
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)
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!
What do you think? Am I too over dressed for the New Year’s Party? I couldn’t find my Mardi Gras beads so I had to raid Mom’s jewelry box to complete my new years outfit.
In hindsight I probably should have went with the fake mustache……
Oh well, there’s always next year! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I’m looking forward to lots more adventures in 2011! Cheers!
