Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point

Posted on by

This Sunday, April 1st (weather permitting) I will be attending the Brandywine Hills Point-to-Point Races in West Chester, Pa with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony.  If you are unfamiliar with what a Point-to-Point is, it’s essentially an amateur horse racing event meant for fox hunting horses in which they race over fences.

Neither Minnow nor I have been to a Point-to-Point before, and although they do feature races where ponies are eligible (ridden by children) we won’t be there to race.

Instead we’ll be entertaining the crowds in the Children’s Activities Area from 11 – 3:30pm. So if you are in the area on Sunday make sure you stop on by my booth and visit! Gates open at 11am  and tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for children. You can check out more of the events I will be attending this year on my calendar.

P.S. I promise to jump through my hoop way better than this if you come to visit me! 

Visit to the Uwchlan Hills Elementary School

Posted on by

Last Friday I took a trip to the Uwchlan Hills Elementary School for Reader Appreciation Day & Dr. Suess’ Birthday. I’m certainly no Dr. Suess, but I did bring along one of my favorite books, Superdog: The Heart of a Hero.

I was so excited to meet the 3rd grade class that I’d be reading to, I could hardly wait. I even wore my special super hero cape, because I knew the kids would love it.

After mom helped me read the book I brought, I then got to show all the kids my super cool tricks – like playing dead, jumping through a hoop, and giving some awesome high-fives.

Afterwards I even showed the kids my special movie that my friends the Painting Ponies are in too.

Not to brag, but the kids didn’t even want to go to their lunch because they were having so much fun petting me. They even dressed me up in a Dr. Suess hat!

And had I packed my lunch that day – I probably would of stayed too.

Going to school was so much fun, kinda makes me wish I could go every day! 

 

To School I go

I’ve got my stunt helmet all polished and ready, because tomorrow I’m going to school.

I’m going to be visiting the Uwchlan Hills Elementary School during their read across america day.

Which means I got to pick out my favorite book to read to the kids, Superdog: The Heart of a Hero.

Seriously, who doesn’t love a Dachshund Super Hero? These kids are gonna love me! 

2012 Pa Horse World Expo – with Ammo

Posted on by

Attending the 2012 Pa Horse World Expo with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony was a new experience for both of us.

And for anyone who stopped by our booth – you may have thought I did a lot of this….

…and this.

But, in reality it was exhausting being the front man for Minnow – and drawing in the crowds.

This cute mug isn’t just for looking pretty – it’s for creating a crowd.

Although, my pal Minnow seems to be pretty good at that too. 🙂

Unpacking

Posted on by

My Monday post is a tad later today than normal, because I’ve been busy helping Mom unpack from the Horse Expo.

Honestly, I’m surprised there was even room for me in the car this trip, because apparently ponies don’t know how to pack light.

I promise to have a full recap of my Expo experience just as soon as I can dig myself out of the car! And if you just can’t wait any longer, you can check out my Facebook page for some photos from my exciting trip.

P.S. I’m slightly worried I may have left my favorite bone under the bed in the hotel – so keep your paws crossed that it turns up somewhere!

Traveler

Guess what! I won’t be having to build any Super Forts in my basement anytime soon….because I’m traveling along with Painting Pony, Minnow, for our big trip to the PA Horse World Expo in Harrisburg, PA.

I’ve been helping mom pack the horse trailer all week – with what seems like the entire contents of Minnow’s bedroom. How many bags of cardboard bedding does he really need anyway?

I’m pretty sure we have everything for our trip….

…and perhaps a few stowaways too! (wouldn’t be the first time). 

 

You can visit me at the Pa Horse World Expo Thursday – Sunday at booth #607 & 608 and also keep up with all of my adventures during the event on my Facebook page. Visit the blog next week to hear about all the fun I had!

Pa Horse World Expo

It’s no secret that my pal Minnow, The Painting Pony, will be attending the PA Horse World Expo at the end of February. This is one of the largest Horse Expos in the country and Minnow is going to be right smack dab in the middle of the expo floor to meet his fans and paint amazing pictures.

Not being one to be left behind often, I too will be making an appearance at the Expo this year. I’m going to try not to steal the show from Minnow, put my amazing super hero stunts and my stunning good looks cannot always be helped.

So if you are in the Harrisburg, PA area February 23 – 26th be sure to come visit me at booth #607 & 608 at the Pa Horse World Expo. I’ll try to make sure I take my mid-day nap before you come!

Hoop Jumping

Posted on by

Even though this video was posted on my Youtube Page last year, I’m pretty certain I never shared it on the blog. Mostly because it’s embarrassing for certain Dachshunds involved. I will not mention any names.

 

Either way, I hope it gave you a good chuckle today.

Super-Duper Halloween

ammo the dachshund super hero

You may be asking yourself why today of all days I’m dawning my fashionable super hero cape and stunt helmet.

ammo the dachshund super hero

Sadly it’s not because I have any damsels in distress to rescue today, nor do I have any dragons to fight. No, it’s something much more important than that.

It’s Halloween Party time! Wooohoo!

Mom and Dad are hosting a Halloween party this year, and the theme? Super Heroes of course!

I’m still working out my wardrobe selection, but I definitely think I’m in the running for best dressed!

Wild Ride

Holy Cannoli! Boy did I have a busy weekend!

Ammo and Trooper at the fair

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.
