Fight Club

It always starts so innocently. You’re just having a good sniff in the wilderness with your best pal….

….and then the next thing you know, you’re fighting over a towel.

Sometimes you can win the fight…..

….and then other days you’re just feeling really weak restricted by some cumbersome winter coats.

So if you think you “might” lose, there is always one full-proof plan.

Run to mom for help.

And then when your opponent gets scolded by mom…..you attack!

Playing dead afterward will ensure that you get lots of loving from mom.

Now go forth and be victorious. And please, don’t tell Trooper my fighting secrets.

Going Bald

I don’t know what to think. Every time I come to the farm it seems like Boomerang is loosing more and more hair. Honestly, I’m a little scared I might be next!

Hang in there pal. I really hope it all grows back!

Snowcat

Yesterday we got more snow. It was fantastic. Everything smells different when it snows.

It’s like I get to re-sniff everything I sniffed before. Even my pal Spider the Kitten likes the snow.

I pretty much taught her everything she knows.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to exploring my new world.

Vintage

Something about “retro” photos make me think back to the days of my youth. Ah to be young again…..

Somehow you get away with so much more when you’re tiny….

Hard to imagine my pal Trooper was once as tiny as I was. Boy I wish I knew him then….wrestling matches would have been so much fairer. Trooper might have had a chance back then. 🙂

Cats Climb Trees and Dogs Eat Sticks

Ok fine, maybe cats can eat sticks too…..but it’s not fair that I can’t climb trees!

Regardless, the bigger Spider the Kitten gets, the more fun we have!

Here’s a few videos to prove it…..

She just better teach me how to climb trees soon!

Leaving on a Jet Plane…

My mom is getting ready to go on a trip……without me! (Someone hold me) And what makes it even worse is that Boomerang gets to go and I don’t!

I have hatched a scheme to hideout in her suitcase, so we’ll see how that goes.

See, Boomerang and mom have been accepted to compete in the Extreme Cowboy Race at the Horse World Expo in Harrisburg, PA February 24 – 27th. I don’t really understand it because mom doesn’t even own a cowboy hat! Which reminds me, maybe if I get a cowboy hat and boots mom will let me come along.

Mom says she wishes very much I could come along, but apparently the Expo doesn’t allow dogs. Stupid if you ask me. What’s a cowboy without his best dog? Seriously.

So until my mom abandons me, I’ve been helping her get Boomerang ready for the big event.

Not trying to brag, but I pretty much taught Boomerang how to be an awesome cowboy cowhorse bronco or whatever he’s supposed to be. After toting him around all over the county for the past Month and a half, I think he’s finally ready.

Just check out this video of Boomerang Practicing last weekend:

So I guess I’ll just have to hang with dad next week while mom’s gone. Boomerang better bring me back a trophy or something after all the hard work I put into training him…..or I’m gonna be peeved!

Also, mom, I expect presents upon your return. Thank you.

Ponies + Dachshund + Snow = Fun

My snow day recap…..

Me: I will Blitz! Just as soon as I get my snow suit on!

Blitz: But me and Boomer have already started having fun without you!

Me: Nooooo! I’m coming! Don’t have anymore fun without me!

Me: I’d be there faster if you came and helped me dig myself out!

Sigh.

Sometimes I just miss out on all the fun!

 

Sledding

Yes, that’s right…..I’m a sledding expert!

Take me to the mountain please!

The only bad part about sledding in the horse pasture at the farm…..you have to look out for frozen “horse” piles! (makes for a bumpy ride)

Is someone gonna push me or what?

Woohoo!

The hardest part about sledding is walking your sled back up the hill!

Just beware….sledding can be chilly…..

…but a couple extra layers of clothing should do the trick!

Any of my doggie pals been sledding this winter? Post your sledding pictures on my Facebook Page!

All-Weather Farm Dog

I’ll be the first to admit that rainy, wet, and cold weather are not my FAVORITE type of days. I’d much rather have a sunny/warm day to go sunbathing, chase bugs and play in the dirt.

So when we arrived at the farm on Tuesday morning, I’ll admit, I thought long and hard about crying until mom put me back in the car.

But then I remembered….

No. 1 …I’m not a Pansie

No. 2…There was no way I was gonna let a little sleeting rain and ice make me miss all the fun!

Friday Fetch: Doxie Sculptures

Today’s Friday Fetch is from Bunny with a Tool Belt, where cute and colorful wooden sculptures is the name of the game. They just make me smile! And what’s even better then a whimsical sculpture, but a sculpture of a cute little Dachshund, because we all know that Dachshunds are the cutest dogs there ever were! Sorry but I am a little biased, do you blame me?

for the love of DOG from Hilary Pfeifer on Vimeo.

Here are two of my favorite Dachshund Sculptures.

The rockin’ out Doxie.

And the Double Rainbow Dachshund, you know, because double rainbows are AMAZING.
