Little Super Hero on the Wall

Posted on by

You might remember that for Christmas I got a special little gift card from my Mom & Dad to get a custom painting of myself from Yellow Brick Home. Well, a few days ago a little package arrived at my door from the very talented Kim Vargo.

I couldn’t believe how much it looked like me! Mom says she even captured the special feisty little look in my eyes.

After modeling for a few photos with Mom and sending Kim some of my favorites from years past, I was so excited to see the results. Kim even said I was the very first Super Hero she got to paint! (I’m the cutest too, right?)

Mom hung it up in my home office for me, and I really can’t help but stare at it all day long!

Oh handsome little hero on the wall – you are just way too cool!

You can get your own custom pet paintings from Kim @ Yellow Brick Home (make sure you tell her the cutest Super Hero EVER sent you!)


*I was not paid or perk’d to write this post – I’m just super super excited about my new portrait!

Beginner Dog Agility Classes

Posted on by

If you follow me on Facebook, then you probably already know that I’ve been taking a beginner dog agility class. With 5 classes under my belt now my Dad came to watch me at class last night – which also means I now have video proof that I’m a kick-butt agility star. Plus I know you have all been dying to see me hop around the course in my cute yellow jacket. *wink*

The non-Adventure Days

Posted on by

Contrary to popular belief, not “everyday” is an adventure at my house.

On those rare days that there isn’t much going on, I can be found like this.

Fighting the urge to sleep, because you never know when you need to be ready for your next big adventure.

It’s best to sleep with one eye open too, because…..

..you never know when the paparazzi is going to show up!

And everyone knows you don’t want to have photos of you with bed-head circling around on the internet.

Lucky for me I look cute no matter what I’m doing. *wink*

Mr. Easter Bunny brought me a basket full of goodies to open on Easter Morning.

I got some new rawhide chews and a new rope toy too – that bunny knows me too well.

Are you sure there isn’t any more goodies in my basket?

After enjoying all my Easter basket goodies my family came over to enjoy the glorious day.

I had fun playing with all my cousins and even my bestest pal Trooper came over.

After me and Trooper had a roaring good time with our new bunny, we helped my non-furry cousins hunt for Easter eggs.

It was a wonderful Easter weekend, and it was great to spend time with my friends and family. I hope everyone had as nice a time as I did – and hopefully Mr. Easter Bunny left you lots of goodies too!

Easter Bunny Disguise

Posted on by

Last year I had to improvise with my Easter Bunny Disguise so that Mr. Bunny himself wouldn’t skip over my house (on account of all the backyard bunny chasing I had been doing).

Fast forward a year later, and despite my best efforts, I still can’t stop chasing those bunnies in the back yard….it’s just way too fun. So I decided to get official with my bunny disguise this year.

Much better right?

I’ve even been practicing my bunny nose wiggle.

There – it wiggled, did you see it?

I’m pretty certain there is NO WAY Mr. Easter Bunny can skip my house now, on account of I fit right into the “Family”.

One Last Adventure Before Bed

In the wee afternoon hours as the sun begins to set I’m always reminded that my time outside for the day is coming to an end.

In a panic I realize I only have a few short hours to finish up my outdoor adventures.

There are important things to smell outside and the days just never seem long enough.

And more importantly I must get all my sniffing in quickly before my outdoor jungle succumbs to Dad’s lawnmower! The horror!

Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point

Posted on by

This Sunday, April 1st (weather permitting) I will be attending the Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point Races in West Chester, Pa with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony.  If you are unfamiliar with what a Point-to-Point is, it’s essentially an amateur horse racing event meant for fox hunting horses in which they race over fences.

Neither Minnow nor I have been to a Point-to-Point before, and although they do feature races where ponies are eligible (ridden by children) we won’t be there to race.

Instead we’ll be entertaining the crowds in the Children’s Activities Area from 11 – 3:30pm. So if you are in the area on Sunday make sure you stop on by my booth and visit! Gates open at 11am  and tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for children. You can check out more of the events I will be attending this year on my calendar.

P.S. I promise to jump through my hoop way better than this if you come to visit me!
