Hey Friends! Follow me, I have something to show you….
..It’s the hole that I dug in my backyard all by myself!
Like really, no one helped me at all – not even my friend the groundhog.
I was so proud of that hole, and then mom had to go and ruin it for me.
Can you believe she filled in my hole?
Well, little does she know, I started a new one on the other side of the yard. Shhhh! It’s our little secret.
I spend a lot of my time on the family farm, and as I roam freely over the 20 acres I can always find plenty to do. I thought it would be a blast to share some of the fun stuff that I do on the farm with everyone, so I made my mom spend a day following me around.
On this particular morning I visited with my pony friends Minnow & Blitz for a short while. They made funny faces at me while I sniffed around for buried treasure in the tall grass. So far my efforts have yet to produce any riches or gold, but I won’t give up.
Then I spent a good deal of time lounging around with my kitty pals, Spider and Cricket.
Spider and Cricket are usually quite content to spend their entire days sunning.
Well, in Spider’s case, also wrestling bits of hay.
Me on the other hand, I get a little bored of sunning and lounging all day. So that’s why I struck up a game of Hide and Seek with Cricket, and ultimately found this awesome stick to play with.
And just when I was starting to think that I didn’t have anything else to show my mom (and my blog friends) about what everyday life is like for me on the farm…..
….I remembered the holy grail of adventures, the thing that I covet the most, and don’t normally share with anyone…
…for security purposes I can’t show you EXACTLY how I got there….
…but regardless, WELCOME TO MY HOLE! My groundhog hole to be exact, and if I’m divulging all my secrets, then you must know that there isn’t just one hole on the farm, but ten to be exact, well eleven if you count the one across the culdesac in the neighbor’s yard.
I know where all my little furry friends live, and I monitor their where-a-bouts on a day-to-day basis. It’s a tough job, but I just know one of these days my groundhog friends will invite me in for tea.
So, there you have it, a typical day on the farm for me. What about you? Where is your holy grail of adventures? Any of my Dachshund friends out there monitor groundhog holes too?
When nasty Hurricane Irene came blowing through my town a few weeks ago it was lights out at my house for a little while. And when I posted a picture of me playing board games in the dark on my facebook page, my pals over at Glowdoggie decided to help a pal out!
So, when my Glowdoggie LED collar arrived a few weeks later, I did what any dog with a super cool new waterproof led light-up safety collar would do….
…Fashion Show!
Sorry, I know, that was kinda girly of me – so to redeem myself I made sure to also take some photos in my rough and tumble lifestyle. (aka the farm). And just because I enjoy a good fashion show doesn’t make me any less of a farm dog!
I have to admit, I look pretty dashing in red, and this thing is just MEANT for adventurous dogs like me!
Mom says that since the sun will be setting sooner I’m going to have to wear my glowdoggie collar every evening out on the farm to keep me safe.
Did you know that the Glowdoggie collar is German engineered? Which pretty much means it was totally designed for me, you know, because Dachshunds are German.
So far I was digging my new Glowdoggie collar, but there was really only one way to put it to the test.
I had to take it down a groundhog hole!!
Now that I have a light to show me the way I am a much more efficient digger.
And those groundhogs are gonna have no idea what hit them!
If you can’t tell by the look on my face, I’m one happy ground-hog hunting dog, and the Glowdoggie collar passed my rigorous hole burrowing test!
You can fetch your own Glowdoggie collar here .
UPDATE: My friends over at Glowdoggie have kindly offered anyone who mentions “Ammo” during checkout will get FREE SHIPPING on their Glowdoggie collar to the US! Yippee!
Holy Cannoli! Boy did I have a busy weekend!
This picture of me and Trooper pretty much sums up the adventurous weekend I had. Don’t worry, I didn’t actually have to ride a bull, but I did have to entertain lots of children (and adults), sniff a whole bunch of dog butts, eat funnel cake, and I even ran through an agility course…twice!
As you can see, I’m a pretty hard working Dachshund.
To prove my point, here’s a BEFORE shot of me and Trooper just getting started on our weekend adventure at the Chadds Ford Days.
And here’s us AFTER a weekend full of excitement!
Even super dogs need to catch up on their sleep once in a while.
On a recent trip to Highland Orchards I met some dogs goats monsters.
Mom reminded me that I have met goats before when I went to the corn maze last year.
True, maybe I had seen goats before, but these were not the SAME goats.
I know, because I sniffed them.
I mean they smelled friendly enough I guess.
But friendly or not, I quickly realized there was like a bazillion of them….and only one of me. Yikes!
I may have spent the rest of the day looking over my shoulder – you never know when a group of goats monsters might sneak up behind you!
I’ll admit, after Day 1 at the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show I was a little tired. It’s hard being adorable all the time.
But, mom brought out the big guns (aka chicken) and I was more than happy to show everyone my favorite tricks!
Not trying to brag, but no one plays dead like I do!
Minnow drew a crowd too with his amazing painting skills……but really…..I stole the show!
“Super Ammo” knows how to make everyone laugh.
Even when you have technical difficulties with your stunt helmet.
In fact, I got so much love after my performances that I think Minnow was jealous!
All that excitement really wears a boy out!
When I got back to the farm I took a well deserved nap. Which actually ended up being pretty short lived…
Because Trooper was just begging to be chased!
You can check out more pictures from our adventure on the Painting Pony Blog!
I spent my Labor Day weekend hanging out with my good pal, Minnow the Painting Pony at the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show. Our Mission – to make all the BIG & LITTLE kids laugh and giggle.
I’m not gonna lie, Minnow did most of the work on the first day. Not that I didn’t help – I just used my skills in a different way.
I used my stunning good looks and overall cuteness to attract a crowd.
You see, I’m utterly irresistible when I wear my stunt helmet.
After I drew in the crowd it was up to Minnow to entertain everyone with his amazing painting skills and super awesome tricks. I jumped in here and there with some of my awesome stunts – but I really got into the swing of things on Day 2, which you’ll hear all about tomorrow!
You can check out some more photos of my adventure with Minnow on the Painting Pony Blog. And even if you weren’t able to visit us at our booth last weekend, you can still check out all of our awesome artwork in our SHOP.
Hope everyone’s enjoying their Labor Day Weekend! Me, I was planning on going canoeing today with my family, but it looks like the rain may have put a damper on my plans. But don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll be able to come up with a nice adventuresome alternative! And I’ll be back tomorrow with a WHOLE lot of pictures from my busy weekend performing at the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show.
Here’s a sneak peek of me dishing out the love at the Horse Show.
You know you want a big sloppy dachshund kiss from your favorite super hero!
Come meet me today and tomorrow at the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show ! Minnow & I are going to be doing tricks all day long!
You can catch us on Saturday from 10 – 2pm (Minnow will do a special painting at 11am, 12pm, and 1pm) and on Sunday from 11 – 4pm (Minnow will do a special painting at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm).
