Happy New Dachshund Art!

Posted on by

Hey pals! I’m inviting you back into my home office again today, because ever since it got a design upgrade a few months ago – I’ve been slowly adding to my art collection on the walls, and today I wanted to share with you my newest addition!

See all the happy wall of art above my desk? Can you spot the newest addition to my collection?

It’s a new happy little Dachshund print from Yellow Brick Home that my mom helped me custom frame at the shop!

Kinda reminds you of someone, right?

Now, if you’ll excuse me – I’ve got to get back to work, these papers won’t file themselves!

 

You can fetch your own Dachshund prints from Yellow Brick Home in their Etsy Shop! Yay!

Visit to the Uwchlan Hills Elementary School

Posted on by

Last Friday I took a trip to the Uwchlan Hills Elementary School for Reader Appreciation Day & Dr. Suess’ Birthday. I’m certainly no Dr. Suess, but I did bring along one of my favorite books, Superdog: The Heart of a Hero.

I was so excited to meet the 3rd grade class that I’d be reading to, I could hardly wait. I even wore my special super hero cape, because I knew the kids would love it.

After mom helped me read the book I brought, I then got to show all the kids my super cool tricks – like playing dead, jumping through a hoop, and giving some awesome high-fives.

Afterwards I even showed the kids my special movie that my friends the Painting Ponies are in too.

Not to brag, but the kids didn’t even want to go to their lunch because they were having so much fun petting me. They even dressed me up in a Dr. Suess hat!

And had I packed my lunch that day – I probably would of stayed too.

Going to school was so much fun, kinda makes me wish I could go every day!

I’ve got my stunt helmet all polished and ready, because tomorrow I’m going to school.

2012 Pa Horse World Expo – with Ammo

Posted on by

Attending the 2012 Pa Horse World Expo with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony was a new experience for both of us.

And for anyone who stopped by our booth – you may have thought I did a lot of this….

…and this.

But, in reality it was exhausting being the front man for Minnow – and drawing in the crowds.

This cute mug isn’t just for looking pretty – it’s for creating a crowd.

Although, my pal Minnow seems to be pretty good at that too. 🙂

The Hotel

Posted on by

I’m no stranger to hotel rooms – and on my recent trip to the PA Horse World Expo with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony I got some cushy digs for the weekend.

It was really tough waking myself up early to head to the expo so I could man the booth, so mom served me breakfast in bed every morning.

This particular hotel was pretty nice – except my bed could have been a little cushier. When you work hard all day it’s nice to have a comfy place to rest your head at night. But, not to worry – I’m an expert at hotel bed fluffing.

Check back tomorrow to find out what I did all day at the Expo! 

Unpacking

Posted on by

My Monday post is a tad later today than normal, because I’ve been busy helping Mom unpack from the Horse Expo.

Honestly, I’m surprised there was even room for me in the car this trip, because apparently ponies don’t know how to pack light.

I promise to have a full recap of my Expo experience just as soon as I can dig myself out of the car! And if you just can’t wait any longer, you can check out my Facebook page for some photos from my exciting trip.

P.S. I’m slightly worried I may have left my favorite bone under the bed in the hotel – so keep your paws crossed that it turns up somewhere!

Friday Fetch: Pet Slings

Posted on by

I admit, I don’t always like to be carried around (how are you gonna have adventures when you can’t strike out on your own) – but sometimes A. You get tired, and B. The only way to sneak into a place you aren’t allowed is to hitch a ride. And honestly,riding in a grocery tote is not super ideal.

So when I came across Pet Slings, I knew it was something I had to add to my wish list.

Pet Slings are reversible slings with a pocket. The in-seam pocket is perfect for storing unused dog waste bags. Pet Slings are the comfortable way to carry your pet. Our carrier holds pets up to 30 pounds. Pet Slings roll up small so you can keep one handy in case your pet gets tired of walking.

Tree Trimmer

Over the weekend it was “Apple Tree Trimming Time” at my house. Never being one to sit out of activities, I made sure to help Dad with the trimming.

Boy, no one said Apple Tree Trimming was such hard work! 

Burn Pile

Lately the burn pile on the farm has been getting bigger and bigger.

Mom says it’s in preparation for Trooper’s new house on the farm, and knocking down some trees is necessary to make room.

I’m not sure when the detonation of the burn pile will take place, but I figure one can never be too careful when it comes to fire safety. So I’ve been practicing what to do when the pile goes up in flames.

Fire in the Hole!

Stop, drop, and roll. Stop, drop, and roll!

Hay is for Horses

During the winter months, the ponies require hay – since there isn’t really any grass for them to eat.

I’m all for giving my ponies what they want…..but they sure do eat a lot.

Just look how much hay I had to throw down from the loft the other day!

But, when I see Boomerang’s smiling face…..
