Super Weenie Hideout Cave

Over the weekend I came across a new hole on the farm.

I decided that this particular hole would make a super amazing “bat cave” – although since I’m not a bat, I decided to call it “The Super Weenie Hideout Cave”!

Upon first inspection it seemed decent enough.

So I did what any Dachshund would do – I dug my way into that Super Weenie Hideout Cave!

I was tedious work, but before long I had made my way into the hideout.

I already have future plans for an underground garage for my weenie mobile. It’s going to be epic!

New Art: Stormy Sea

Tada! Over the weekend I finished up a fabulous new watercolor painting! I give you “Stormy Sea” created by yours truly. I’m taking a liberty here and giving myself a gold star for the day. Yeah, it’s that good!

I was so excited to be painting again, that I might have done some yelling. Ok, I definitely did some yelling.

What are you looking at? Never seen a Dachshund in a beret?

Dashing isn’t it? I know you wish you had one too.

You can purchase this beauty, “Stormy Sea” in my online shop!

P.S. Don’t forget I donate 5% of my sales to Charitable Organizations. Yeah!

Friday Fetch: Hats for your Pet

Lady Gaga has nothing on this totally fashionable chihuahua from the Etsy shop, lenapavia. Looking for more than just a hat? Channel your inner Gaga with this inspired frog costume. Seriously. It makes me giggle.

From the shop:

Hello I’m Lena.
Thank you for stopping by my shop and I hope you like my designs. I began my career as a fashion designer at the age of 3. My first client was mom when I decided to cut and fix her dress. From there I went on to cutting and fixing everything I could get my hands on. I still remember that my grandmother had to keep all of the sewing supplies hidden whenever I came over. Nevertheless this did not stop me, and I have pursued my dream of becoming a fashion designer to this day.

Lena’s hats are certainly trendy – from cowboy hats to mini mouse ears no dog’s head will go bare! You can fetch your own trendy hat at lenapavia for $5 – $36

Water Warrior

I bet you thought the story ended with my boat ride on Tuesday afternoon at Marsh Creek State Park. Well that would be false, because after I left the docks – I had something else in mind.

Swimming!

I had fun practicing my dolphin swimming.

And then I played a game of fetch with Dad.

Which pretty quickly escalated into a game of chase.

Catch me if you can, sucker!

 

Sea Legs

Slowly but surely I’m earning my sea legs. You might remember I went on a boat outing a few months ago up in the Poconos. Well yesterday I went on another boat outing at Marsh Creek State Park.

On a 90+ degree day, it was the perfect weather to spend on the lake.

I have to admit I was so excited I did a little yelling. How can you not, when you’re on the open water!?

We did have a little “man overboard” incident…

I know what this looks like, but I swear I didn’t push him!

Dad probably should have been wearing his life vest.

Well, I’ve pretty much mastered this boating thing. Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy! I think next time I might try my hand paw at windsurfing!

Unicorn Appreciation Day!

Remember how my friend Baxter the Dachshund told me that Wednesday was Unicorn Appreciation Day? And remember how I set out to catch my own Unicorn with some glitter? Well, now that it’s Wednesday, I bet you are all wondering if I was able to catch my Unicorn friend?

I had to wait a really really really long time with my glitter bait.

Even Cricket got bored of waiting – she thought maybe if she played dead the Unicorn would come to save her. It didn’t work out like she planned (don’t worry, she didn’t really die).

But then, after waiting for DAYS, I heard something off in the distance.

“Are you my Unicorn?” – Me

“Why yes, I came because I smelled your glitter” – Unicorn

“But how do I know you are a Unicorn” – Me

 

And then I looked up and it was GLORIOUS!

My Unicorn had come at last, and he was more spectacular than I imagined!

I gave him lots and lots of kisses and told him I was happy he came to the Unicorn Appreciation Day. I wished he could stay forever, but he said he had to get back to the magical forest.

Although he did leave some magical Unicorn poop behind for me as a souvenir. I’m soooo lucky!

Movie Night

Sometimes movie night at my house is a little different.

This particular movie night we headed to the park to watch Shrek 3.

I was super excited, because before the movie started I got to wait in line to get some ice cream, just like all the other boys and girls.

I was excited about the ice cream, but the rest of the kids were excited about me!

What can I say, I must be way cooler than ice cream!

Shrek 3 was fantastic – Gingy is my favorite character, which may or may not be because he looks so tasty! I’ll never tell..

Unicorn Huntin’

My pal Baxter the Dachshund says that it’s Unicorn Appreciation Day on Wednesday. Baxter has already started trying to catch his Unicorn in his backyard to bring to the Appreciation Day. He’s super smart, so I’m sure he’ll have no problem catching one, he even thought up some really cool bait to catch his Unicorn with – like Watermelon, Glitter, and even Beans.

Since Baxter looked like he was having so much fun trying to catch his Unicorn, I told my mom I wanted to catch my own for Unicorn Appreciation Day too.

Luckily the Painting Ponies had a stash of glitter on hand at the farm. Gotta love a pony that keeps glitter in their locker.

I spread out some of my glitter by some pretty flowers on the farm. I figured if Unicorns like glitter, then they probably like flowers too.

Now comes the hard part, waiting for my Unicorn to show up….

Just in case I also started digging a Unicorn hole – you know – should Unicorns live underground. Hey, you never know!

Horse Show Dog

Being a horse show dog is a VERY tough job. We don’t get the glory of winning the fancy ribbons and trophies like the ponies do, instead we are behind the scenes taking over the jobs that no one else wants to do.

Take my job for example. I’m usually on patrol duty, in charge of guarding all of the tack and the trailer.

The hours are long, and usually it’s hot. But someone has to keep away the chickens….

…and the cows!

Stop giving me the stink eye cow! I’m watching you!

It could be worse though, I could be stuck on ribbon rack duty like my pal Trooper.

He has no idea that all the ponies laugh at him.

I have to admit, I laugh too.

Pink is for Boys?

If you follow me on Facebook, than you might already know that recently I picked up a special little item for Trooper to use during our performance this weekend at the Keystone Dachshund Races.

That item? A SUPER girly tutu fit for any princess.

Trooper wasn’t as thrilled about it as I am – and lets just say he refused to do some of his tricks during practice. So I did what any Super friend would do….

I put on the tutu!

I guess Trooper’s not as secure in his manliness like I am. And even though I am a boy, I look dang good in this tutu.

 

And if the rumors are true, than Princesses get whatever they want, right? Well this Prince-ss wants a new rawhide, and perhaps a couple of toy trucks. You know, just to balance things out a bit.

P.S. Trooper, quit being a girl & wear the tutu!
