Fight Club

It always starts so innocently. You’re just having a good sniff in the wilderness with your best pal….

….and then the next thing you know, you’re fighting over a towel.

Sometimes you can win the fight…..

….and then other days you’re just feeling really weak restricted by some cumbersome winter coats.

So if you think you “might” lose, there is always one full-proof plan.

Run to mom for help.

And then when your opponent gets scolded by mom…..you attack!

Playing dead afterward will ensure that you get lots of loving from mom.

Now go forth and be victorious. And please, don’t tell Trooper my fighting secrets.

Tune-up

Sometimes my adventures aren’t THAT exciting. But a dogs gotta do what a dogs gotta do.

Just twiddling my paws and waiting for my ride to finish getting an oil change.

I was actually quite bummed that mom wouldn’t let me play at the kid’s table. Sigh. We better have a GOOD adventure tomorrow!

Friday Fetch: Silly Squeakers

Admit it, some of the squeaky toys they make for dogs are just plain lame. Really.

And then there are these squeaky toys from VIP PRODUCTS……

They even have some super tuff dog toys, you know, for dogs like me who are super tough!

You can even sign up to be a toy tester and save big on lots of really cool dog toys! You better believe I’m making my Birthday wish list right now!

Going Bald

I don’t know what to think. Every time I come to the farm it seems like Boomerang is loosing more and more hair. Honestly, I’m a little scared I might be next!

Hang in there pal. I really hope it all grows back!

Snowcat

Yesterday we got more snow. It was fantastic. Everything smells different when it snows.

It’s like I get to re-sniff everything I sniffed before. Even my pal Spider the Kitten likes the snow.

I pretty much taught her everything she knows.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to exploring my new world.

Vintage

Something about “retro” photos make me think back to the days of my youth. Ah to be young again…..

Somehow you get away with so much more when you’re tiny….

Hard to imagine my pal Trooper was once as tiny as I was. Boy I wish I knew him then….wrestling matches would have been so much fairer. Trooper might have had a chance back then. 🙂

Cats Climb Trees and Dogs Eat Sticks

Ok fine, maybe cats can eat sticks too…..but it’s not fair that I can’t climb trees!

Regardless, the bigger Spider the Kitten gets, the more fun we have!

Here’s a few videos to prove it…..

She just better teach me how to climb trees soon!

My Shadow

I have a shadow, as in a kitten shadow, as in Spider the Kitten.

See at the farm it’s MY JOB to help mom bring hay to the ponies! Well now that Spider is getting bigger, she’s trying to be just like me. I mean I know I’m pretty cool, but does she have to do everything I do?

What’s even worse is that she’s trying to show me up!

True, sometimes I get a little distracted from my duties.

It’s kinda hard not to get distracted when there are so many great smells.

But really Spider? Do you have to ride in the wheel barrel and help hand out hay? Come on. You’re making me look bad!

Leaving on a Jet Plane…

My mom is getting ready to go on a trip……without me! (Someone hold me) And what makes it even worse is that Boomerang gets to go and I don’t!

I have hatched a scheme to hideout in her suitcase, so we’ll see how that goes.

See, Boomerang and mom have been accepted to compete in the Extreme Cowboy Race at the Horse World Expo in Harrisburg, PA February 24 – 27th. I don’t really understand it because mom doesn’t even own a cowboy hat! Which reminds me, maybe if I get a cowboy hat and boots mom will let me come along.

Mom says she wishes very much I could come along, but apparently the Expo doesn’t allow dogs. Stupid if you ask me. What’s a cowboy without his best dog? Seriously.

So until my mom abandons me, I’ve been helping her get Boomerang ready for the big event.

Not trying to brag, but I pretty much taught Boomerang how to be an awesome cowboy cowhorse bronco or whatever he’s supposed to be. After toting him around all over the county for the past Month and a half, I think he’s finally ready.

Just check out this video of Boomerang Practicing last weekend:

So I guess I’ll just have to hang with dad next week while mom’s gone. Boomerang better bring me back a trophy or something after all the hard work I put into training him…..or I’m gonna be peeved!

Also, mom, I expect presents upon your return. Thank you.

Valentine’s Day Love

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends out there! And just in case no one’s told you yet today….

It’s true.

You might be wondering why I’m dressed up in my Artist gear. Well, it’s because over the weekend I was very busy making a very special Valentine’s Day gift for my bestest pal, Trooper.

Just don’t mention this to my girlfriend Cricket, I sorta forgot to get her something! Shhh!

Anyway, here’s what I gave Trooper for V-day…

I made a portrait of him! I think it looks just like him, don’t you? And just in case you forgot to get someone a Valentine’s Day present too, I can make a custom pet portrait for you too!
