As most of you know I was invited to paint and perform at the 2013 Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. I love to support animal rescues, so I jumped at the chance to show off my stuff!
So I packed up my car with lots of goodies for my booth, and brought along all of my trick gear for my big performance. (you can always shop online with me HERE).
When it came time to perform I was excited to show everyone what I had been practicing. I love to learn and doing tricks with my mom is one of my favoritiest things in the whole wide world.
I kicked off my big performance by finishing up a painting I had started earlier in the week…..afterall you can’t rush talent!
Then it was off to my phone booth for a quick costume change, of course everyone giggled when my Super Undies went on display for the world to see. I’m still blushing. But Super Ammo had a job to do, and I wasn’t going to let a little embarrassment stop me!
Eventually I had to break out my super helmet for some of the more dangerous tricks. Safety first.
After all that performing I was ready to meet my fans!
By then I was pretty tired, but my day wasn’t over yet, because I had to judge some of the contests like best kisser, best tail wag, best costume, and best trick.
I even got to meet a cool doxie named Harry who had a knack for playing golf! (I chose him as the winner of best trick by the way).
Incase you missed my big performance at the Doxie Fest, below is a quick highlight video I made. And if you want to see some more of my amazing tricks you can check out the SUPER PONY DVD that I made with my favorite trick ponies HERE.
At the end of the day I was so excited that so many of you came out to watch me perform and meet me, and most importantly support a great rescue like the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.
P.S. you all have some pretty cute Dachshunds!

I just wanted to hop in and wish all of you a wonderful Easter! xoxo,
You all know I love a good DIY project, and when it takes less then 5 minutes and requires no sewing (for my mom who is not so handy with a needle and thread) it’s just an added bonus!
So for Easter this year my mom helped me whip up some quick DIY Bowties that I can wear when all my family comes to visit on Sunday. They’re so fun and easy to make that I can’t even decide which one to wear!
5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Pet
What you need:
Step 1: Cut a long rectangular piece of fabric (Mom cut mine 5″ x 19″ to make my small bow tie). The longer and wider you make your rectangle the bigger your bow tie will be. You will also want to cut a thinner strip of fabric, mine was 2″ x 19″, to be used later.
Step 2: Using your large rectangular piece of fabric fold in the edges. You can use an iron to crease the folds if need be.
Step 3: Next fold your ends towards the center so that they just overlap where the center mark would be.
Step 4: Fold the entire piece of fabric in half.
Step 5: With the front of your bowtie facing you, crease it into 3 even pleats. Then place a clothespin on it to hold it in place while you move to the next step.
Step 6: Using the small strip of fabric you cut, fold in the edges.
Step 7: Wrap the thin strip of fabric around your bowtie and tie in a double knot in the back.
Step 8: Tie your Bowtie around one of your dogs collars, trimming any excess fabric if need be.
You’re now ready for an Easter Party!
Now if I could only decide which one to wear!
P.S. I expect to see lots of dogs in dapper bowties this Easter! Post your dog in their best bowtie on my Facebook wall so we can enjoy them all!
I wanted to pop in today and wish everyone a very merry St. Patrick’s Day! Yippee!
I may be German at my core, but everybody can be a redhead on St. Patrick’s Day!
So put a little jig in your step, because today’s the day for a little mischief!
And don’t worry, no matter what happens, you can always blame it on the leprechauns!
I was browsing through some of my favorite online pet product retailers the other day when I stumbled across a line of modern dog bowls that are simply to die for. So I rounded up a few of my favorites from Waggo that I’m sure you’ll love.
I’m especially loving the chalkboard bowl and treat container – it holds a special place in my heart! Just check out the giant chalkboard canvas in my house!
You can fetch any of the fabulous modern dog bowls I’ve shared at Waggo!
P.S. A super happy shout out to my mom today on her 29th Birthday! I really hope you get that modern dog bowl you’re drooling over. *wink*
The latest meme floating around right now is The Harlem Shake, a song that has sparked a series of dance videos to an instrumental song produced by the artist Baauer. And since I’m never one to miss out on a meme, I decided to do my own rendition.
I bet you are mad impressed with my dance skills right!? I’ve been practicing if you can’t tell.
Anyone else do their own rendition of the Harlem Shake? Let’s see it! Post your favorite ones in the comment section!
Right before Christmas my mom entered a giveaway on the Pawsh blog for a spiffy pet painting made by the fine folks at Crazy Rebels. And as luck would have it, she won! The even better part was that the painting was going to be of me!
So I helped mom look through lots of my photos, and we picked out this silly photo from a few years ago of me in my super hero cape. I thought it would look fun turned into a cartoon style painting.
The I headed over to Design Seeds and picked out the blue background color seen in the photo below.
And a few weeks later this fun painting arrived at my doorstep.
Silly and fun, just like me!

Being a super hero I need to have certain tricks up my sleeves and on my tool belt. Tricks that can get me out of sticky situations, help me combat evil, and well, make me quicker and more agile when shimmying down groundhog holes! It’s because of this that I have learned to army crawl!
Teach Your Dog to Army Crawl
Learn to be stealth, agile and quick on your feet! Most importantly, fit down those groundhog holes with ease.
What you need: A handful of training treats, clicker
Step 1: Place a high value treat (something your dog really loves) in the palm of your hand, making sure that he knows it is there.
Step 2: Ask your dog to lay down by placing your hand on the ground in front of him.
Step 3: Slowly inch your hand away from your dog, encouraging him to shimmy across the ground after the treat. As soon as he moves closer to your hand (without lifting his front legs out of the lay down position) click and reward. If your dog pops up out of his lay down, ask him to lay again, and repeat the process until he does it properly.
Step 4: Continue asking your dog to inch along the ground until he understands what is wanted, you can then begin adding a verbal cue, such as the word “crawl”, and asking him to shimmy across the ground several times before getting his reward.
Congratulations, your dog can now army crawl. Now meet me at the groundhog holes, we’ve got some shimmying to do!
