Wet Paint.
I should have known. When your day starts like this….
….. you will end up like this……
sigh.
My pal Minnow had a much more successful painting day than I did.
While he created 3 masterpieces (check them out here) I somehow ended up with blue paint in my mouth. Don’t ask.
At least I’m not the only one that requires a bath after painting day….
After the big horse show over the weekend I invited my pal Trooper over to play.
We always have lots of fun….well when Trooper isn’t moping & crying for his mommy. (He’s kinda a baby).
Don’t worry I didn’t have a court date (hehe they haven’t caught me yet). No, instead I was a judge this past weekend at a very prestigious horse show. Ok fine, I don’t know about prestigious, but it was definitely a lot of fun!
Very nice, I like the control.
One tail up for a job well done!
Gotta limber up before the next rider comes.
Just fantastic!
Ok, now that I’ve picked my winner where’s the milk bones I was promised? Did you really think I’d work for free?
That’s right, I’m really slick in my new rain slicker! Since I pretty much go through one coat a year (what can I say I’m a rough and tumble farm dog) mom decided to grab my 2012 winter coat a little early. One can never have too many outfits anyway.
And seeing as how it’s all brand – spanking new, I definitely had to give it a little test drive. So behold, the amazing slickness of me, Ammo, in my new Blueberry Raincoat from Noodle and Friends. (That Noodle is one lucky girl, I bet she has like a bazillion coats!)
Lucky for me my new raincoat arrived just in time for a little April Showers. Don’t worry, my new coat kept me nice and dry!
Oh and Noodle, thanks for the new squeaky toy! Too bad it’s already gone to the squeaky toy graveyard…..I just couldn’t resist!
Ever since my mom DIY’d me a new id tag I’ve been begging her to make me something else spiffy to wear. Maybe an embroidered scarf or leash? The possibilities are endless.
Whatever she decides to make I think we MUST have one of these Dachshund Floss Holders! Please meet Flossy the Dachshund!
Flossy is the solution to all your embroidery floss needs! Super cute and functional, Flossy easily holds one skein of embroidery floss. Simply wind the floss around Flossy’s tummy until it is almost wound up, then place the end of the thread in her mouth as shown in the photos. Voila! Flossy is keeping your floss!
Flossy was hand drawn and is made from beautiful birch wood. Flossy measures about 3.5 inches wide and 1.25 inches tall. You can get your own Flossy the Dachshund from SugarCookie for $12
Luckily for me my boss allows me to take naps while on the job. One of the many perks. (I also get belly rubs and snacks for free- it’s in my contract).
However, napping on the job can sometimes be an art. Sometimes getting comfy requires a little creativity. So today I’m going to share with you my helpful guide for getting your snooze on at work. (Use with caution – or at least when your boss isn’t looking)
This one I call the “watchful eye”, useful when wanting to nap, but still keep an eye out. You know, in case something important might happen.
This is the “Sneaky Snake”. Very handy around corners and tight spaces – not recommended for “non-hot-dog-shaped bodies”.
The “leg cross” is a favorite of mine. Gives you an extra boost of luck. One can never be too lucky.
The “dog-bed crash” is always a good one. Always make sure to do a little “fluffing” first.
“Blankie Necktie” is great for when it’s a bit chilly out. Just don’t wrap up too tightly, you won’t be able to get out in case of fire.
The “crescent roll” is prefect for a busy day at the office. You’re free of cumbersome blankets, but still able to keep your legs nice and toasty.
Shoot. How did this photo end up in here? Pay no attention to this. Seriously. It was just an itch on my leg. I swear!
“The Cave” is the best. Dark enough for hibernation but not too dark that you miss a meal.
“Sunbathing” – definitely a must if you are looking a little pasty. Also perfect on a cold day, just don’t “bake” for too long. No one likes an overcooked hot dog.
And last but not least we have the “Hot Dog in a Blanket”. Why re-invent the wheel, classics never die.
If anyone catches me napping at work please know this. No. 1 If you have cookies and don’t wake me up for some I WILL hold a grudge. No. 2 Please don’t come to my place of work without cookies, I WILL hold a grudge. That is all.

I’m telling you guys, there is a buried treasure in the closet at work. No one believes me….. but really….it’s there! Ever since I started digging for it in the closet mom decided to barricade me out.
She’s really gonna regret not letting me in there when she finds out about all the treasure and golden coins she’s missing out on!
Sigh.
I wonder how hard it would be to tunnel under?
I really like Spring. Mostly because it means the door to the Sunroom gets opened. Which means I get to bask in the glorious sun….
Trust me, once mr. sunshine gets going this place heats up like a sauna. It’s glorious!
The sunroom is so amazing, because not only do I have a place to get my tan on (complete with comfy couches), but should the need arise – I have my own person door to my outside kingdom.
As you can see I use my little door it it’s full advantage. It’s very convenient for bringing in sticks and apples from my apple tree should I decide I want a snack later.
What more can a dog ask for?
Attention shoppers….will someone please tell me why none of these dog toys seem to have squeakers inside? I thought the squeaker was a staple in dog toys?
Where’s the stuffing I can rip out, or the bones I can gnaw on?
I’m starting to regret saying I’d come on this shopping trip.
Mom, Dad, if you are reading this….I do not appreciate random trips to the store, when all we come back with is a very large piece of wood. Seriously. I could have been napping somewhere or chasing Leprechauns on the farm with Trooper. I am not amused. Try harder next time.

These bauer pottery dog bowls are bright and fun…just like me! Created in Los Angeles in the 1930s, the colours of Bauer Pottery were inspired by the orange grove, the palm tree, and the sky. I’d like one in every color please!
