2014 New Year Goals

In keeping up with my yearly tradition I’ve decided to take a look back over the goals I made for myself last year to see how I did! I’ve also come up with a new list of goals for 2014 that will hopefully keep me on my toes!

My 2013 Goals:

1. Create some more greeting card designs for my Flying Hero Etsy Shop

Not only did I come up with a fun new Holiday card this year, but I just finished designing a whole bunch of new cards that will be available in my shop this week! Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to share my new designs with everyone just as soon as they are ready!

2. Master the weave poles for my agility classes

I’m proud to say that I officially mastered the weave poles this past year! Yay! I even worked up to weaving 12 poles at a time.

3. Compete in an agility trial

Technically I didn’t compete in an agility trial this past year, but I did get to run a new course in a new location during the Fair Hill International Event in Maryland.

4. Learn a performance that I can perform on my own at events

I practiced and practiced and performed my very own trick skit during the Spring Doxie Fest last year in support of the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue! It was a lot of fun and I think everyone enjoyed it!

5. Make every day count!

Looking back over everything I’ve done this past year I think I have this goal down! From trips to the beach, road tripping, paddleboarding, and enjoyable days on the farm – I packed in as much as I could this past year and it was such a blast!

2014 Goals:

  1. Relax more, and don’t work so hard!
  2. Go on more walks around my neighborhood
  3. Take a trip to the dog beach again
  4. Compete in a Barn Hunt Competition
  5. Take a new training class

So what about you? What are your goals for 2014?

A few days ago my December BarkBox arrived in the mail!

I love getting packages in the mail, and when the BarkBox arrives I know that it’s always stocked full of lots of goodies for me. I thought it would be fun to show you exactly what arrived in this month’s box….

Barkworthies – made with 100% beef bladder, Barkworthies junior bully sticks are long-lasting and delicious. No chemicals or preservatives are used, making them a better choice than rawhides.

I may have had a little too much fun with my BarkBox, but hey, there’s no reason not to!

And did you know that BarkBox also has a web shop stocked full of fun goodies for humans too?

Their belly rub t-shirt was so comfy that I almost stole it for myself.

But then I felt bad that mom never gets any goodies in the mail, so I decided to let her have the t-shirt. Plus the tote bag was a little more my size anyway! *wink*

Throwback Thursday: Napping Buddies // Ammo the Dachshund

Back when I was just a wee pup my pal Trooper used to come to the shop to “babysit” me everyday. While I did get in my fair share of puppy antics, Trooper and I also did a whole lot of napping together……

Today is my Birthday! I’m officially 5!

Birthday Week: Ammo the Dachshund turns 5!

Even though I’m five I don’t feel a day over 2! I’m looking forward to many more years of adventures and I wanted to thank all of you for joining me for Birthday Week as well as all of my journeys! I enjoy making all of you smile and I appreciate you leaving me comments on my blog and facebook page. I’m lucky to have friends like you!

Birthday Week: Ammo the Dachshund turns 5!

Oh lucky day, I got a Benebone (which I can’t wait to start chewing to see how well it will hold up to my choppers), and Nylabone Dental Chew, and a yummy goody from Pet Valu! I feel like the luckiest boy in the world!

So thanks again for celebrating with me this week. I hope you had as much fun as I did! Ammo the Dachshund

  4. Igloo Dog Bed from Mungo & Maud
