If you follow me on Facebook, then you may have already heard, I’m a COMMERCIAL STAR!
Back in November I was contacted by Google at the request to purchase the non-exclusive rights to one of my youtube videos for an upcoming Google Chrome commercial.
Fast forward another month and my mom received a text from a friend that said she thought she saw me in a television commercial during an episode of Modern Family. How exciting!
I must admit, it’s kinda fun to flip on the tv and catch a glimpse of myself unwrapping a present.
I feel like such a celebrity now! Who knows, maybe this will lead to my very own sitcom or movie role. (a dog can dream can’t he?)
This year when Christmas morning arrived, so did the snow! I awoke to a blanket of snow in my backyard….it was glorious!
After taking a romp in the newly fallen snow I set to work unwrapping all of my gifts!
Santa must of known that I’ve been a very good boy, because he brought me lots of goodies this year.
One of my favorite gifts this year was an add-on for my agility poles so that I can practice indoors too! Santa knows me so well!
So after diving into all my presents at home, we loaded up the car and headed over to Trooper’s house for some more Christmas fun.
I dressed for the occasion in my Holiday tie!
Trooper said I made him feel very under dressed.
Even my new cousin Jack joined us for some fun during the holidays – although he was smart and staked out the best spot on the couch before we started opening gifts.
We opened so many gifts at Trooper’s house, that Trooper fell asleep with all his new toys in his mouth. He just doesn’t know how to hang.
After the party at Trooper’s we loaded up the car again and headed to my MomMom & PopPop’s house so that I could give my human cousins some gifts too!
My cousin Maddie got a pony for Christmas, which she promptly named Ammo. I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted?
When we finally arrived back home late that night, mom said I had to put all my new toys away in the new toy baskets Santa had brought me.
I figured Santa would want me to enjoy my gifts to the fullest, so I snuggled up for the night inside one of my toy bins. Morning couldn’t come soon enough!
Here’s a round-up of what goodies I got this year:
I had a wonderful Christmas with my family, getting to take some time off work and spend time with the one’s I love was just what I needed after a busy Holiday season at mom’s shop. I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday as well!
The day has finally come! It’s time to announce the official release of the brand-new Super Pony DVD, staring the talented Minnow from Painting Pony…..and ME!
Thanks to my talented Uncle Taylor and Depthink Productions, we began filming for the DVD this past summer, and I’m so excited that it’s finally ready to share with everyone!
Check out the DVD Trailer:
ON THIS DVD
Trainer, Kyley DiLuigi, introduces us to Super Pony, the alter ego of the talented Chincoteague Pony, Minnow! Watch as he shows us some of his favorite trick performances, many of which have been performed at expos, fairs, schools, and even the Annual Chincoteague Pony Penning. Several performances also include Minnow’s lovable sidekick, Ammo the Dachshund, as well as other members of the Painting Pony crew. In addition to 5 featured videos, this DVD also contains 2 bonus videos: a visit to Iron Horse Farm, home to the Painting Ponies; and a talk given by Kyley about everyone’s favorite Chincoteague Pony, Misty of Chincoteague.
PAINTING PONY
In 2007, Painting Pony was founded when Kyley DiLuigi decided to bring her paints from art school out to the farm where she kept her 14-year-old pony, Minnow. That cold winter day Minnow became the World’s First Painting Chincoteague Pony as he created his very first masterpiece. As it became evident that Minnow had a gift that he truly loved, the paintings he created began to pile higher and higher. Feeling the need to share Minnow’s art with the world, Kyley started PaintingPony.com and the rest is history!
You’ll get to see performances by me and Minnow as well as me and my buddy Trooper. You even get to see me paint!

Set to air on Saturday, December 22 9PM (ET/PT) a clip of me and my partner in crime, Minnow, will appear on the show THE YEAR IN PUP CULTURE.
It’s an action-packed hour of non-stop, over-the-top cuteness (probably because I’ll be in it). THE YEAR IN PUP CULTURE looks back at the defining moments of 2012 as only Animal Planet can — with puppies! These adorable pups reenact the most memorable moments of the year, including scenes from top blockbuster movies and ripped-from-the headline bits. If these moments piqued public interest in 2012, they are getting “puppified” in the cutest hour on television.
So set your DVR’s, ready the popcorn, and be on the lookout for a short clip of me and my pony friend!
And don’t worry, incase you miss it – I’ll be sure to record it and share with everyone!
On my last full day in Asheville, North Carolina I got to spend Thanksgiving day with my friends and family.
I spent most of the morning lounging on the front porch and soaking in the sun.
It was nice to spend the day relaxing with loved ones.
Eventually Trooper and I got bored though – and a wrestling match soon followed. It didn’t last long though, because dinner was soon to be ready.
Inside I shared a feast with my friends, including me new pal Arlo.
Arlo was way prepared for Thanksgiving in his tuxedo, and he had me feeling very under dressed.
All in all I spent a wonderful Thanksgiving day in Asheville and next time I return I hope I can listen to my Uncle Taylor’s band….I’ve already warned them that I play a mean set of drums…should the need arise.
The next day Trooper and I stuffed ourselves back into the car and headed towards our home in Pennsylvania. It’s nice to travel and experience the world, but there is nothing quite like coming home to your own bed!
It’s Turkey Day here in the states! And you know what that means….Turkey!
Last week I asked my Facebook fans what I should wear for my Thanksgiving Day feast, and I got some great suggestions. I figured it was a pretty safe bet that my bow tie would be a Turkey-Day hit.
It’s dressy, but not too dressy that I can’t still run around outside and wrestle with my bestest buddy Trooper.
But I just know as we approach “meal time” that my Turkey-Day bow tie just won’t cut it.
Which is exactly why I packed my stretchy pants this year!
With all those goodies around today I’m extra glad I’ll have a bit more room around the waist.
I’m one smart cookie!
So before I scamper off to have some fun with my family I wanted to say…… I’m thankful for each and every one of you! Knowing that I can brighten your day with my adventures is seriously they highlight of my day. Thanks for taking the time to read, leave me comments, and generally just give a dog the warm fuzzies inside.
You might remember that for my Birthday back in the beginning of October I received a gift from my parents called the Kicker Box. This box with it’s confusing levers that held my treats captive was a source of frustration for me for the first week or so. But, truth be told, it’s no secret as to how stubborn us Dachshunds are – and I couldn’t give up on the Kicker Box without a fight.
I’m now a master at dispensing my treats from the box, and to prove it to you my mom shot this video of me working for my breakfast this morning:
Do you think your dog could master the Kicker Box?
Disclosure: I was not paid or perked to write about this product, I just wanted to share with my fans this fun toy.
It’s becoming a yearly tradition now to take “Birthday Themed” photos of me during the week of my Birthday. And while I can hardly wait to show you how my photo shoot turned out this year, I figure if I have to wait a few more days to open my presents – then you should have to wait to see my photos!
Torturous I know, but it will all be worth it when you can see me in my spiffy party hat made by my pal Baxter’s mom.
