Low Rider

Low Rider. That’s me. I make even the coolest ride look cooler.

If you follow me on facebook, than you might know that my “ride” reached a milestone of 300,000 miles last week.

Seeing as how it’s my 2nd Birthday next week (October 5th)…I told mom that maybe it was time to upgrade the good old Chevy Tahoe. Now don’t get me wrong, me and the Tahoe have had some good times. It’s the first car I rode in!

And who can forget how cool the Tahoe is….I mean come on, check out those black-out windows. Do you know how many people I mooned while driving down the highway? Yeah, they didn’t know either – it’s a wonder even I could see out them windows. I certainly rode in style uniquely in that thing – you could hear it rumbling down the street a mile away, even Trooper knew when I was on my way to his house!

So a few days after the Tahoe’s milestone achievement we picked up my new ride.

Can you believe it? My parents bought me an ’04 Ford Expedition for my Birthday! woo hoo. Unfortunately I only have my learners permit.

So for now I’ll just have to settle for riding in the back seat….atleast I have my own window now!

Plenty of room for all my friends in this ride!

Dog Dreams

Doggie dreaming is the best. I mean where else can I live out my wildest fantasy like chasing and CATCHING groundhogs, or burying an eight foot bone? In my dreams I out-catch the World’s best Frisbee dog, win the race against a greyhound, out-eat a St. Bernard (although I can probably do this one without dreaming too), and herd sheep better than an Australian Shepherd. Oh and I can also reach the kitchen counter.

What can you do in your dreams?

 

Apple Sauce

Last Monday my pal Trooper came over and we made apple sauce! Ok, so I didn’t really make it per-say…but I did help collect apples from the tree in the back yard!

Apples are fine and dandy, but when are we going to plant a tree that grows bones? I’d gladly tend to that tree all by myself!

We have apple sauce!

Shoes

Shoes. They smell like stinky versions of our people and they taste even better. But this post isn’t about shoes – it’s about where those shoes go.

I mean duh I know my people have sensitive feet and require protective shoes (unlike my tough paws that can climb mountains), but I’m talking about where they go when they aren’t in use. At my house this is a big box. A big box with grassy stuff on the outside that I may or may not have chewed up when I was a pup. I won’t admit to anything!!

Anyway, while Trooper was hanging out at my house the other day, my mom decided to fix the unsightly shoe box. I was just thrilled that all the shoes ended up on the floor! I may or may not have tried to squeeze a few through my doggie door. I won’t admit to anything!!

ooooh, shoes!

I'm gonna blame it on Trooper. hehe

I'll TRY not to touch it this time! I mean Trooper did it!

I’ve Got Talent

Just when I thought things were winding down for the summer, and I was gonna have to start preparing for hibernation, something exciting has happened! Something even more thrilling than my “play dead” trick! And it’s pretty thrilling!

My mom entered me and my bestest pony pal, Minnow, into a talent contest. And we were accepted!

So what does this mean exactly? I’ll tell you what….

From October 29 – 31 Minnow and I will be at the Equine Extravaganza in Doswell, Virginia. On October 30th Minnow and I will compete against other contestants for the chance to win fame and fortune! The contest will take place on Saturday from 11:30am – 1pm at the Meadow Event Park.

I’m excited, but really nervous too! Mom said I have lots of work to do to get ready, because I don’t have as much performance experience as Minnow does. As long as I have my stunt helmet and cape I know I can do it! So if you feel like visiting me at the Equine Extravaganza I know I could sure use the cheering section!

Stay tuned as next month I’m sure mom will be helping me learn lots of new tricks in preparation for my BIG performance!

Scratch it

Lately I’ve been pretty busy making Artworks. I’m in high-demand you know….these paws are gold, pure gold I tell ya!

Over the past few months I’ve been really perfecting my technique. The one pawed scratch, the two pawed scratch, the scratch with all 4’s! You gotta vary it up if you want to make amazing scratch art! Sometimes I even amaze myself at my ability.

Anyhoo don’t take my word for it….just see for yourself….

Just keep digging, just keep digging.

Painted Paws

I’m assuming most of my fans know that I spend a lot of my free time with the famous trick ponies from Painting Pony. Minnow, Blitz, and Boomer are expert painters!

Well I bet they can’t paint something like this! Check out what I made….

I know I’m so talented right? I bet my artworks sell for more money than Picasso!

Alright fine. Mom says it’s not nice to fib. I guess I gotta come clean. My painting experience looked more like this:

"But mom...Cricket the farm cat keeps calling me to come outside and play..."

"I want to paint.....but I also want to hunt groundhogs"

"sorry mom, I gotta peace out! I'm gonna leave the painting for the experts this time!"

Yeah I know, you can say it, I have no will power and I am easily swayed by peer pressure. I can’t be perfect all the time! Perhaps I will pick up my paintbrush another day, but for now I’m going to leave the painting to the ponies.

Rub-a-Dub

Rub-a-Dub Dub, there’s a Dachshund in the tub!

I’m no fool, I know the ladies like me smelling like sunshine! Now will someone please come turn the water on for me?

Please Help.

Are you going to make me have to give the crazy eyes?

Now I've had to revert to yelling!

Sigh. I guess I'll have to get my scrub on another day.

Off to find something stinky to roll in....just so someone HAS to give me a bath

In the Doghouse

No, I’m not grounded. Are you kidding? I’m a perfect angel ALL THE TIME, most of the time, sometimes. *wink* *wink*

Actually though, I am in the Doghouse. Doghouse Burgers that is. Yeah I know, coolest name EVER! And the best part is that Doghouse Burgers is located just across the street from my mom’s shop in town. So when I’m being an extra perfect Angel, mom sometimes takes me over there for dinner. And if I’m really really good, I even get a taste of the best burgers in town. yum yum

Is my meal ready yet?

I think I’m gonna need a doggie bag

P.S. they also have hot dogs. But don’t worry, they aren’t made from cute weiner dogs, I checked.

Happy Howl-a-day!

Ok I know I’m about 3 months early for Christmas, but I can’t help it. The thought of presents under the tree are just sooo enticing!

This year I wanted to be extra prepared, so I made up a line of Christmas cards featuring me playing in the snow! Now you can send my cute mug all over the World – and we all know I’m all about World domination! Ammo for president! Woo hoo!

Anyway, here’s the new goods in my Etsy shop that I share with Painting Pony. Stock up early to avoid the Holiday rush!
