Sofa Match

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).

Judge

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?

Friday Fetch: Flossy the Dachshund

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

Buried Treasure

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?

Spring

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

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.

America’s Cutest Cats

I admit, it took me WAY too long to post this video. Most of my facebook fans know that back in 2010 I made a little cameo appearance on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Cats with my farm pal, Cricket. Just a short clip of a good old wrestling match between me and my gal which they noticed on Youtube and requested to use. Check it out:

You might remember that I was also on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Dogs with my favorite pony, Minnow!

This makes me sorta like a Reality TV Star then right? It’s only a matter of time before I have my own show – you better get your autographs now, before I’m swamped with paparazzi!

Life on the Farm

Simple snapshots of life on the farm.

It’s quite simply my favorite place to be. Where’s your favorite place?

Happy Day o’ Digging

Digging Digging Digging.

Oh Happy Day. Digging Digging Digging.

Yet I get the feeling I’m not alone on this happy day of digging.

Hey Spider! I see you in there!

There’s no use hiding I can see you.

I knew you were spying on me!

Well if you’re gonna follow me, you might as well put those paws to some good use and help me DIG!

 

Elevator Up Please

For me, an elevator ride usually means one thing……we’re visiting great-grandma!

Over the weekend me and Trooper took a trip to visit my great-grandma.

Trooper’s favorite part about our visits is greeting all the residents at the nursing home (and the nurses). Here we are waiting for someone to say hi to.

My favorite part is getting the “scraps” that are inevitably left EVERYWHERE!

It’s like they knew I was coming and set out a special treat just for me. Mmmmmm….cheese….
