Super Dog vs. Super Pony – School Addition

***UPDATE*** we realize this video is being blocked for some people – as soon as possible we will upload another version. Thanks for baring with these technical difficulties!

Do you remember when I made my first Elementary School Visit with my pal Minnow back in May? Well, the day has finally come – my live performance video with Minnow is complete! My Uncle Taylor (the filmmaker) shot and edited this whole video – and it turned out really cool! Not that it wouldn’t, considering I’m the star of the show.

P.S. Minnow may have won the trophy this time, but there is no way I’ll let him beat me next time!

***UPDATE*** if you are having trouble watching the video above, try this version (without the super cool super hero music) – ON YOUTUBE

My trip to School

When my mom told me we were going to school, I was super excited. If there is one thing I do know, it’s that kids LOVE to feed dogs! But what I wasn’t expecting was the 4am wake up call!

I had had a super busy Mother’s Day the day before – so it was really hard for me to drag myself out of bed – even for the kids.

But I pulled it together the best that I could, and me and Cricket helped mom pack the horse trailer. See we were headed to the Renaissance Academy to teach the kids all about Misty of Chincoteague (you know from the famous kid’s book). When we got there mom had to give a talk to all the kids about Misty, but I made sure she also mentioned Alex, Misty’s Dachshund sidekick.

Seriously how cool is it that Misty also had a super cool dachshund sidekick too! Did you know he did tricks too? He could jump through a hoop, climb a ladder, and he even liked to dress up in doll clothes. We totally would have been best friends. I’ll have to write a post later with more about my brother from another mother, Alex!

Later Minnow and I performed our famous skit, Super Pony vs. Super Dog. The kids laughed like crazy when I got to wear my stunt helmet – one kid even wanted to know if I could do a back flip. I think I’ll definitely have to learn……just for you kid…..because you think I’m cool enough to do a back flip.

I was even filmed for a new video my Uncle Taylor is going to make. I’m sure I’ll be the star.

After each performance Minnow and I got to walk around so the kids could pet us. Well ok, Minnow walked, and I got carried. I won’t lie, I took the opportunity to take a nap.

Yeah, I was pretty popular – lots of kids even wanted my autograph!

By the end of our visit I was pooped!

Even Super dogs need to take naps sometime!
