Last night I went to my agility class, and guess what?
I mastered the catwalk!
It’s actually quite fun once you get the hang of it.
So this is what it feels like to be 4′ tall, I could definitely get used to this!

In the wee afternoon hours as the sun begins to set I’m always reminded that my time outside for the day is coming to an end.
In a panic I realize I only have a few short hours to finish up my outdoor adventures.
There are important things to smell outside and the days just never seem long enough.
And more importantly I must get all my sniffing in quickly before my outdoor jungle succumbs to Dad’s lawnmower! The horror!
Have you met my friend Minnow?
He’s a super talented painting pony who also happens to be one of my bestest friends (I know him!).
And it’s because of my bestest pal Minnow that I get to go to super cool events like the Brandywine Point to Point Races and watch horses race through terrain and over fences at lightning speed. Super cool right?
But, do you know what else is cool? Super Heroes. And this little Super Hero loves to work the crowd at super cool events where horses race through terrain and over fences at lightning speed.
I mingle with the ladies.
And draw in the crowd with my sleek look and awesome cape.
I even get the laughs when I bust out my stunt helmet for my death-defying tricks.
And just when they think theres no more, I bust out the big guns and amaze everyone with my big finale “bang” trick. It’s a tough job, but someones got to do it.
xoxo,
The family farm is such a wonderful place, not only is it home to my magical Painting Pony friends, but it also home to the barn kitties, Spider & Cricket. One of the things that is so great about all my furry friends on the farm – everyone loves each other. I love the ponies & the kitties, the kitties love the ponies & me, and the ponies love everyone too! It’s one big happy family.
Don’t you just feel the love? xoxo,
Lately I’ve been coming in from the back yard looking like I was in a snow storm – covered in a dusting of white.
But not to worry, it still really is Spring here in Pennsylvania – and the reason for my snow storm-ish look lately – the glorious flowers are blooming!
In particular my peach tree in the back yard is blooming!
Now normally I’m not really a “pink” kind of guy, but I have to admit – the flowers are very pretty.
And not only do they look glorious, but they smell pretty good too.
Although, (to be fair) you probably shouldn’t take my word for it – considering I do like to munch on horse poop on occasion.
As much as I do enjoy a good old fashioned snow storm, my spring time “flower petal snow storms” are quite enjoyable too. And it just reminds me of how important it is to stop and smell the flowers on a daily basis, even if they don’t smell quite as delicious as horse manure.
Have I told you about my R.L. (that’s “real life”) Dachshund friend Leo?
He lives down the street from mom’s shop and is a feisty 7 month old black and tan mini doxie dude! (Although I hear he won’t be a “real dude” for much longer – sorry pal).
Arguably Leo is a lot younger than me (I’ve got 3 years on him), so I’ve decided to teach him the ways of the World. Don’t tell him I said so – but his hunting skills need a lot of work!
I’ve got a lot of work ahead to make Leo into my sidekick.
But I’m pretty sure with an excellent teacher like me he’ll have to turn out Super Awesome.
Homework assignment #1 for Leo: Eat all of your veggies so that you can “leap tall buildings in a single bound” just like me!
In Pennsylvania we’re having an early Spring this year. Even though today is the official first day of Spring, in the weeks leading up we’ve been having glorious 70 degree weather.
I’m all about this warm weather, which is why yesterday I decided to take a trip with my ponies to Marsh Creek State Park.
Blitz and Boomerang went for a little dip in the lake while I got to do some exploring.
Did you know that it smells like fish at the lake? I don’t know about you, but I LOVE fish.
Even though I really wanted to do some fishing, the water was a bit chilly for me.
I didn’t catch any fish this time, but I did find a stick. Highlight of my day!
I also found this neat rock.
And then I got really brave, and actually took a dip in the lake!
Next time I plan to bring a raft so I can float out just as far as the ponies can! And Boomerang promised me he’d learn how to use a fishing pole. I’m so excited!
Anyone else having an early Spring this year? Have you been on any Spring adventures yet? I’m already compiling my list of Summer activities that I want to do this year! Yipee!
I know technically it isn’t St. Patrick’s Day yet, and I’m really not Irish (although I do have pretty red hair), but I just couldn’t wait any longer to break out my green!
I was also secretly hoping that my “holiday spirit” would entice the Leprechauns to come out and play!
Remember last year when I came soooo close to getting my paws on some of the Leprechaun gold?
Well, this year I decided instead of hunting down the Leprechaun “den”, I’d let them come to me.
I have a feeling those Leprechauns know how to party! And maybe, just maybe, they’ll come party with me at my house.
And if they happen to bring some of their gold along with them – I definitely wouldn’t complain.
So come join the party Leprechauns! I’ve got kibble for everyone!
Yesterday I started my beginner agility class at Wagsworth Manor. So, knowing that I would need to get in shape beforehand, over the weekend I broke out my super cape to help me get the party started.
There is something about that little piece of fabric – that just makes you want to fly!
…and fly….
….and fly….
…and fly some more!
And it’s a good thing I did all that flying beforehand…..
…because this is all my classmates saw on my first day of agility class as I soured over the jumps, sped through the weaving poles, and dashed through the tunnel! I can’t wait until next week’s class!
My Monday post today is a bit later than normal – and that’s because when I woke up this morning it was gorgeous outside! So nice in fact, that after spending all morning on the farm my best buddy Trooper came over to spend the afternoon with me.
We told jokes, and laughed and laughed.
And we looked for critters in the back yard.
Then we napped.
And napped.
And then we napped some more.
But I realized something after my afternoon with Trooper.
Napping is so much better when you implement the Buddy System.
