A couple of years ago I took to the air (just like Snoopy only not quite as dramatic) and went for my first single engine plane ride! I had a blast looking at everything below turn into tiny little specs….just like ants….or rodents to be hunted!
I can’t wait for my next plane ride! Has your dog ever flown before?
You can read all about my plane ride in 2012 and how I took to air with ease!

Last week my March Barkbox arrived in the mail with the idea to get your day started off right!
Inspired by a good, old-fashioned breakfast my box was packed full of goodies to jump start my morning!
Goodies like these Organic Breakfast Dog Biscuits from Wagatha’s. Made in Vermont with organic, human-grade ingredients, these biscuits are wheat-free and lactose-free!
Or the ever popular 100% beef bladder Barkworthies, which I gobbled up seconds after mom took this photo.
And who doesn’t love a little rabbit in their bowl? These Hare of the Dog Rabbit treats are healthy and wheat-free.
And the icing on the cake in my bowl, Aussie Naturals leather egg and bacon toys. Sadly they don’t taste like their counterparts, but they do squeak and I had a blast tearing them apart!
So if you want to start your pup’s day out right too you can snag a Barkbox subscription and have goodies like these delivered to your front door every month.
And don’t worry, you don’t have to share if you don’t want to – because I definitely don’t plan to!
You can fetch your own BarkBox starting at $19 a month. Save $5 on your BarkBox subscription if you use code AMMO5!

When my friends over at Chewy.com sent me a package of these Nutrisource Soft & Tender Lamb Dog Treats, I knew it was just the thing to bring with me on my weekend road trip to the mountains.
Nutrisource soft & tender treats are made in the USA with real lamb and added vitamins and minerals. They contain only natural ingredients and have no wheat, no soy and no artificial colors!
They also contain a trusted source of L-Carnitine which is an amino acid. It helps your pet naturally burn fat and promotes loss of body weight and healthy weight maintenance.
So when I met my new bear friend in Dushure, PA – I decided to share the bounty since it looked like he had put on a few extra winter pounds himself!
My “sharing” didn’t last long because who am I kidding, these treats were too yummy not to enjoy myself!
You can fetch your own Nutrisource Soft & Tender Treats from Chewy.com for about $3 a bag!
And now you have a chance to win some super goodies from Chewy.com! Enter Below!

Don’t forget, today is the last day to enter my Dogtails Shampoo Giveaway!
With today being the official first day of Spring I thought it would be appropriate to share a throwback video of me getting as dirty as possible on the farm. You know, in honor of all the springtime mud thats here!
It’s not Spring unless you get dirty!
What kind of dirt does your dog track in this time of year?

When my new friends over at Dogtails sent me a sample of their natural clarifying dog shampoo little did I know that I would be needing it so soon.
My adventures in groundhog hunting on the farm inevitably landed me in the tub as soon as I got home!
Bathtime isn’t always my favorite thing to do, but when you have a good shampoo that can get you squeaky clean in no time it makes it that much more bare-able. Plus the bottle had a picture of a dachshund on it….so I knew it was meant to be!

Spring is almost here (yes really), and I can always tell when it’s just around the corner because my pony friends start to shed all of their hair!
Now not only do I love shedding season because it means warmer weather should be here soon, but also because pony hair can be quite entertaining! Just check out this video from 2012…
Who else can hardly wait for shedding season to start?

As many of you might already know, I have quite the collection of tricks up my sleeve paw. My mom started helping me to learn tricks when I was just a wee pup and at just barely a year old I did my very first live performance at the 2010 Equine Extravaganza Talent Competition with my buddy Minnow the pony. Minnow and I took home the champion title and we’ve never looked back since!
Since then I have gone on to perform at expos, schools, fairs, and I’ve even been spotted in a few television commercials.
While my pony friend Minnow more often than not accompanies me to such performances (he’s been doing this a lot longer than I have), I sometimes have to perform on my own too.
This year I will again be attending the Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue as their special celebrity performer – which means I need to start working on some new and exciting tricks!
I’ve got a few I’ve been working on (with a few training miss-haps along the way….not to worry, no dachshunds were harmed). But here’s where I need your help! I need your suggestions on what tricks I can add to my performance.
So leave a comment, post them on my Facebook page, or shoot me an e-mail. I’d love to hear what tricks you’d like to see! I know you guys will have some fantastic ideas!

When you’re an “only sibling” you sometimes have to learn to entertain yourself. Even at a young age I learned how to play fetch by myself….
Of course it’s always fun to have someone to play with! Does your dog sometimes play by himself too?
