As winter approaches on the farm, things can get a little desolate. The birds flew south for the winter and all my furry little farm friends are hibernating.
Some days I wander around aimlessly just hoping to find a squirrel to chase, or sit longingly at one of my groundhog holes.
And then some days lady luck shines down on me and I find a dried up worm along my travels.
We play the epic battle of eternal debate as I contemplate whether or not to bury it.
Most times my impatient self wins out and I do what any cute little dachshund that longs for summer and furry animals to chase would do…
…I roll on top of that stinky little worm until I too smell like stink.
It’s not as good as chasing squirrels, barking at birds, or hunting groundhogs – but at least it’s something!
Sigh. Please come back furry friends, I promise I’ll give you a head start in our never ending game of chase.
I’m here to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I’m excited to spend the day with my family and even my best pal Trooper. And I’m especially excited to park myself under the dining table and wait for all the food scraps to fall.
I’ve been practicing, and I’m pretty sure I could fit a whole turkey in my mouth if I had to. I can hardly wait!
On this day, I also wanted to say how very thankful I am to have so many wonderful internet friends that enjoy reading my daily adventures. Your comments and special notes make me feel oh-so-special and it makes me smile whenever I know that I was able to brighten your day.
HAPPY THANKSGIVINGÂ xoxo your pal,

It’s raining today. Sometimes I get cabin fever when it rains.
Usually when cabin fever hits I devise a plan to make mom pay attention to me.
Most of the time I start off with the obvious stuff to get attention, barking, pulling out all my toys, making a mess – those usually have some effect.
But, sometimes it’s necessary to pull out the big guns. Like cute faces.
Or the “please fix my ear” routine. But when all else fails I always have one trick up my sleeve that will always work to get the attention I deserve….
No one can resist the Please rub my belly routine.
You might remember the toy Hamster I got last Christmas from my Dad…..well he must have known that it’s the Holiday season again, because he’s returned!
I’m not sure where he was hiding all this time, but when mom was moving some stuff around at home I found him! And boy did we have some fun playing together this weekend! Just see for yourself…
P.S. Over the weekend mom helped me make some updates to my website! Yipeee! Check out the new About, Gallery, and Press Pages!
Oh hey, did you come to play super heroes with me today?
What do you mean you don’t have a super cape?
Well, I guess we can share mine.
Even if it was especially made just for me.
But next time you better bring your own.
Because we need TWO super heroes to save the princess….
…and we both need to be able to fly.
Yes, I know, we haven’t even had Turkey Day yet and already there are Christmas wreaths out, holiday music playing and the smell of pine everywhere.
Even though it does seem a tad bit early for the Holiday Season Fanfare, when you work in a retail shop like I do it’s hard not to be prepared a few weeks early.
So this year I bit the bullet and broke out my Christmas scarf BEFORE Thanksgiving. Don’t judge, you know you think it’s stinkin’ cute.
I even went as far as to practice some of my Holiday looks. I think they pretty much speak for themselves…..
“Thanks for visiting, now please purchase every single item in my shop as a Christmas gift for your loved ones”
“Pretty Please, won’t you purchase that _______.”
“I’m even cuter when you purchase something”
“Don’t make me get ruthless and force you to do some Holiday Shopping”
“P.S. I’m fully prepared to give you the stink eye should you decide to leave empty handed”
Shameless I know, but a shop dogs gotta do what a shop dogs gotta do! hehe.
Make sure you check out My Shop this Holiday Season for some super awesome amazing spectacular gift ideas for everyone you know. I promise not to sing Christmas Carols in your ear. 🙂
Just because it’s called a “horse jump” doesn’t mean it’s any match for Super Ammo. (and I didn’t even have my super cape on!)
It’s ok to be jealous of my super jumping skills.
Weekend projects around my house tend to always involve a do-it-yourself mentality.
And on this particular weekend, mom’s d.i.y. project to update the office took over my sunroom.
Even though my sunning space was suddenly way more crowded, I was thrilled when mom said I could help, because as you know I’m really really good at helping.
However, when the paint roller proved to be too difficult for my cumbersome paws I decided to improvise….
….sadly mom didn’t think it was such a good idea and I was promptly relinquished from my duties as helper boy.
sigh.
It’s always great when canines and art can combine, I should know, I’m an artist. So that’s why I was super excited when I received the new Neue Galerie New York catalog in the mail.
Neue Galerie is a museum devoted to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design. The gallery shop is devoted to providing the finest design icons from three periods: Biedermeier, Vienna 1900, and the Bauhaus. Contemporary designers such as Han Feng, Michael Graves, and Eva Zeisel also create exclusive pieces for the museum shop.
Among these contemporary pieces is Hund, which is a collection of chic canine couture and luxe accessories inspired by a mini Schnauzer named Milly von Barksky.
In other words, drool.
The Hund collection might be a bit out of my price range, but a dog can dream right? You can check out the Hund Collection at Neue Gaerie.
