Afternoon Shopping

Shop Dog // Work // Ammo the Dachshund

So you may have noticed that my post was a little later than normal today. I blame it on my mom. Because while I’m laying around the shop looking like this today, she’s too busy with work to help me on the computer! I guess I could help, but it’s so hard to when all I want to do is lay like this!

So to help with your inevitable afternoon boredom (which I’m sure you have by now), I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite things from my shop so you can go shopping! Because the must have cure for being bored – is online shopping!

Take Your Dog to Work Day

This past Friday was Take Your Dog to Work Day, but for me it was no different than any other day, because I work most days with my mom in her custom frame shop.

But, I decided to play the part anyway and instead of my usual sunbathing by the front door I threw on my glasses and helped mom with the picture framing.

Choosing picture frames is no easy task, but it’s a good thing I have a great eye for design!

I picked out some colorful mouldings that would look super awesome on one of my Dream Big Prints.

I must admit, I worked pretty darn hard and I’m pretty sure I should get a raise. Please add 4 more cookies to my daily wages mom! Ammo the Dachshund

New in the Shop! Hot Dog Notepads

A few weeks ago I announced the launch of new notepads and fun little doxie pens in my shop, which you can see HERE. Well, mom and I decided why have only two designs when you can have three!

So with a little inspiration from yours truly, we came up with the Hot Dog notepad!

Mom drew the little hot dog shape, which by the way looks so so yummy!

Even the little doxie pen looks oh so fun to play with, but I’m still perplexed at how he can snap in half like that!

2013 New Year Goals

In keeping up with my yearly tradition I’ve decided to take a look back over the goals I made for myself last year to see how I did! I’ve also come up with a new list of goals for 2013 that will hopefully keep me on my toes!

My 2012 Goals:

1. Learn a new trick with my favorite pony, Minnow.

Ok, so I can’t recall a SPECIFIC trick I learned with Minnow this past year, but I did star in our brand-new Painting Pony DVD with him. And I had a super fun super hero shoot with Minnow this summer.

2. Compete in my first agility trial or take an agility class with a new club.

While I’m not quite ready for my first agility trial just yet, I have been taking agility classes since the spring. I’m hoping I might be ready for a trial sometime next year.

3. Make more home movies, featuring me!

I’m happy to report that I’ve created lots of new video footage this year (over 50 videos on my youtube channel!), and I even landed on two national television spots at the end of this year (which I’ll be sharing all the details on the blog soon). And if you want to catch my biggest performance of the year you can check out my new DVD HERE!

4. Get more creative with my costumes.

I’m happy to say I’ve dressed up more this year than any other year! You might recall my pilot’s outfit when I went flying, my super cool Halloween costume as Wile E. Coyote, and even my dapper Holiday outfit for this year.

5. Master some new tricks and share them on the blog.

I started a new feature on the blog this year called Let’s Get Tricky! I also added a few new tricks to my repertoire and I’m hoping to continue the trend in 2013.

6. Take pictures every month for my 2013 Calendar!

So I may not have specifically set out to take photos for my calendar every month, I did rack up quite a lot of space on Mom’s hard-drive with my thousands of photos from this year.

7. Make more DIY projects.

I definitely got my DIY on this year! I came up with over 10 great DIY projects this year, including my Birthday Bandana, a Dipped Yellow Chair, and even a Pet First Aid Kit.

8. Paint more.

Painting may have taken a bit of a backseat this year, but that didn’t stop me from getting created. I opened up my very own Etsy Shop, Flying Hero, to sell my greeting cards, calendars and more – many of which have helped raise money for animal rescues!

9. Dig more holes in the backyard.

You know I got this one covered!

10. Smile everyday!

How can you not smile when you’re having this much fun!

So moving on to the upcoming year, I can’t wait to start 2013 off with a bang!

2013 Goals:

  1. Create some more greeting card designs for my Flying Hero Etsy Shop
  2. Master the weave poles for my agility classes
  3. Compete in an agility trial
  4. Learn a performance that I can perform on my own at events
  5. Make every day count!

So what about you? What are your goals for 2013?

Shop Update: Dachshund Holiday Greeting Cards

Every year it’s tradition for Mom to help me make a Holiday greeting card to send to our friends and family. Last year I decided to spread the cheer to everyone and made my cards available to the public. So since Christmas is just around the corner I decided it was high time I revealed my 2012 Holiday Card Design…
