For those of you who did not know, I’m the King of my Castle. I rule with an iron fist and and a bark that could frighten a lion. It’s true, I even have a crown to prove it!
As King I demand cookies, daily entertainment in the form of tug-o-war, and all the belly rubs I so desire.
Oh and all groundhogs of the World must bow to me. That is all. 
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!
One of my number one missions in life is to eat – my mom’s number one missions is to make sure I eat healthy. We may not always agree on what makes for a tasty snack (horse manure on the farm comes to mind), but when I came across Smart Cookie Dog Treats, I knew my mom couldn’t argue!
This new start-up company’s goal is simple, to make healthy dog treats customized for your dog. On their website you can choose the ingredients, and Smart Cookie will bake and ship them to you. Pick your protein, carbs, and fruits & veggies – then they’re baked with some of the freshest ingredients from local farms in Colorado and sent to your doorstep!
You can fetch your own custom dog treats from Smart Cookie for $6 per twenty pack!
After yesterday’s photography studio debacle, I decided I needed to redeem myself. What better way to do so than with some sexy photos for all the ladies out there! I’m sure you’ll agree after seeing all this eye candy….
Why, Hello Ladies! *wink*
The other day mom set up a little photo studio for me in the spare room at my house. So I figured why not give it a little whirl? What could go wrong?
It started off innocently enough – I’m such a natural in front of the camera that mom says it’s hard to take a bad photo of me.
But then we started busting out some props (more like whatever mom could grab in arm’s length), and I should of known right then that things would take a turn for the worse.
And before I knew it I was wearing women’s accessories!
If you are new to this blog then I better set things straight right now, I AM A BOY! (despite what these photos may suggest).
I just hope Trooper doesn’t see this! He’ll never let me live it down.
The dirt between my toes tells a story.
A story of adventures had and the most fun a little dachshund boy can have in his own backyard.
I mean come on, just check out the smile on my face!
Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Kong Premium Treats.
I recently got the chance to take the new line of KONG Premium Treats for a spin; I’m sure nearly every dog has a kong just laying around their house begging to be stuffed with yummies – I know I do!
I was excited to try this new line of treats because they boast:
I don’t know about you, but it’s so much easier to get my mom to buy me treats when they are made from stuff that’s good for me!
First up I decided to test the Chicken Mini Meat Bites, these little nuggets looked just the right size for me.
With the first ingredient being chicken, I can attest that these soft chewy treats were oh so yummy. They’re the perfect size to use as training treats and can even can be used to stuff certain kong toys.
Next up were the Beef & Cheese Meaty Flavor Bites, which looked to be the perfect fit for a kong that I already owned.
These were just as delicious, but took me extra long to devour because they were inside my Kong – something mom claims is an extra plus, but I think it’s just a waste of time!
For my last taste test I saved my favorite, the Chew Buddies Variety Pack, mostly because what’s not to love about these adorable cookies! They were almost too cute to eat…….but my stomach won out in that battle.
I decided to dive into the T-Rex shaped one first, mostly because I felt a kindred spirit to him since I too have short stubby arms!
Mr. T-Rex didn’t last very long, but mom said he helped me fight plaque and tarter buildup with his crunchy body. I’m not really sure what all that means, but if it gets me more cookies then count me in.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my Kong Premium Treats taste test – but the best part is that you too can win your very own taste test!!

Today is Father’s Day, and I just wanted to say Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there! Whether you’re a Dad to a four-legged kid or a two-legged kid (or both), I wanted to tell you that you are great!
Dad’s are who we look up to, and who we want to be like when we grow up!
So three cheers for all the Dad’s who take us on adventures, and teach us everything we need to know about the World.
Thanks to all the Dads that show us the way….
….and help us leave our mark on the World! Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all that you do. xoxo,
Every year around June mom and I start training the ponies for a very special trip. A trip to Chincoteague Island in Virginia at the end of July to watch their wild relatives swim from Assateague to Chincoteague during the annual Chincoteague Pony Swim and Auction.
As official pony trainer it’s my duty to help the ponies prepare by learning new tricks so they are ready to perform for their week long stay down there at the Chincoteague Pony Centre.
This year my pal Boomerang will be making his first trip to Virginia to perform, so I had a little chat with him about how he’s supposed to behave properly and not embarrass me.
Boomerang sulked for the rest of the day, what a baby!
Another part of Boomer’s preparation is reading the famous book by Marguerite Henry, Misty of Chincoteague. Things were going well until Boomer confessed that he doesn’t know how to read!
Sigh, it’s going to be a very very long summer!
Learn more about where you can see my pony friends perform at the end of July on the Painting Pony Blog.
Being a Dachshund means that I was born to hunt, most specifically I was born to hunt down holes! So when an opportunity presents itself for some real-life burrowing practice I can’t possibly pass up the ability to show off my skills. After all I am an expert hunter and burrower.
It’s a shame their wasn’t any groundhogs in there, but regardless I just can’t ever pass up a hole!
