Do you ever just have one of those days where it’s really really hard to get out of bed? Well today is one of those days. Someone wake me for dinner.

Behind the Scenes Photoshoot
It’s no surprise that I’m no stranger behind the camera lens. In fact, I’ve had mom’s camera shoved in my face since I was about 8 weeks old. Not that I’m one to complain much – usually when the camera comes out so do the cookies! So during my dapper doxie photoshoot the other day, mom filmed a little “behind the scenes” segment….mostly she was testing out the new video feature on her new camera, but regardless the motive – it caught some of the real action on camera.
Yes, I may have had a barking fit for more cookies at one point, but doesn’t every super model get at least one day to be a diva?
Dapper Doxie
Sometimes a fellow just needs to get gussied up.
So the other day at work, I used my new bowtie I got for Christmas from Silly Buddy to practice my dashing good looks for everyone.
Now really, what’s more irresistible than a Dachshund in a bowtie?
My dapper good looks even look great from any angle.
Look deep into my eyes….closer…..closer….
….now feed me some cookies! My belly is hungry!
Disclosure – I was not paid or perked by Silly Buddy in any way. I just simply think their collars and bowties are super duper awesome!
Friday Fetch: Snowsuits for Dogs
It comes at no surprise that I LOVE the snow. Sure, it’s cold and wet – but where else can you make tunnels that last for miles! So while I countdown the days until our first big snowstorm, I got to thinking, maybe I need a snowsuit?
Well lucky for me I found a whole section on dog snowsuits at Baxter Boo. Now I can hardly wait for the white stuff to fall from the sky!
You can fetch your own doggie snowsuit at Baxter Boo.
Pa Horse World Expo
It’s no secret that my pal Minnow, The Painting Pony, will be attending the PA Horse World Expo at the end of February. This is one of the largest Horse Expos in the country and Minnow is going to be right smack dab in the middle of the expo floor to meet his fans and paint amazing pictures.
Not being one to be left behind often, I too will be making an appearance at the Expo this year. I’m going to try not to steal the show from Minnow, put my amazing super hero stunts and my stunning good looks cannot always be helped.
So if you are in the Harrisburg, PA area February 23 – 26th be sure to come visit me at booth #607 & 608 at the Pa Horse World Expo. I’ll try to make sure I take my mid-day nap before you come!
Toys Toys Toys
Last night mom went to target. And although I had to wait in the car, I knew the rewards for me would be great.
Because when mom goes to target I always get new TOYS!
“This one is great mom, but I know you have more in that bag for me.”
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
Thanks mom, now please look away so I can bury my new toys in your bed.
Robot Ponies
Yesterday on the farm a man with a big bucket full of tools showed up.
Me and Trooper weren’t quite sure what was going on, but mom said it was the horse dentist for the ponies.
That story added up fine while Minnow had his teeth brushed by an uncomfortable looking metal pole.
But then he was fastened with a strange and scary looking face mask – which led me to conclude that they were turning Minnow into a robot!
This sounded way cool to me, I was actually quite excited to have a robot as a friend – Trooper on the other hand was a bit nervous.
Yes, a robot pony was the coolest thing ever I decided.
So I started helping the man by handing him his tools so that my robot pony could be ready faster.
Trooper was insistent in his worrying though, “But Ammo, what if robot ponies eat little wiener dogs for breakfast?”
Not being one to take the eating of wiener dogs lightly, Me and Trooper later asked Minnow if he would eat us – were he in fact a robot pony now.
Minnow assured us that he would not, and that he wasn’t a robot pony, but one can never be too careful – so we’ve taken to watching Minnow out of the corner of our eyes. Just in case.
And for now, Trooper is very relieved that he is the only one that will be eating any wiener dogs for breakfast.
Messy Paws
Yesterday on the farm mom decided to bring the ponies’ paints out of storage for a little winter painting.
As you can see, they made quite the mess.
A mess that I somehow got suckered into cleaning up.
And my lovely assistant was absolutely no help at all!
You can check out the paintings by my fabulous pony pals on their website.
Friday Fetch: Dog Skijoring Gear
Ok, so honestly I thought Skijoring was just for horses, but when I saw these nifty Dog Skijoring harnesses and gear at REI I knew exactly what me and Trooper will be doing this winter.
If you’ve never heard of Dog Skijoring it’s a sport in which a dog (or dogs) assist a cross-country skier by providing power by running and pulling while hooked up to a special harness.
You can fetch this nifty set-up for Dog Skijoring on the REI website. I totally want one of these so I can hook Trooper up to my toboggan!
Hoop Jumping
Even though this video was posted on my Youtube Page last year, I’m pretty certain I never shared it on the blog. Mostly because it’s embarrassing for certain Dachshunds involved. I will not mention any names.
Either way, I hope it gave you a good chuckle today.
