It’s Saturday, so I thought I’d give you a little something to smile about.
First up we have a video featuring me.
Yeah my bone got cooties. No one wants to touch a bone with cooties…you might catch them!
Next up I’ve got a new little artwork that I just made! I was testing out a new “classic” Dachshund shape, what do you think?
“White Dachshund No.7”
This masterpiece is now available in my online shop! Yipee! I really like him!
I hope I made you smile today!
On Sunday I had to go to work. I know, the horror….working on my day off. Although, it turned out to not be so bad – I got A LOT of treats!
See me and mom had a plan, a plan to get people into our shop during the Downingtown Fall Fest. We posted cute pictures of me all over the window, enticing people inside to meet me.
And you know what? My cute mug did the trick….hoards of people came through the door to meet me. And lets just say I jumped through my hoop and played dead about a billion times. All in the name of smiles!
Where are all the peoples?
maybe if I sit infront of the door people will come see me
I bet the helmet will do the trick!
finally getting to show off my hoop jumping skills
I gave an amazing performance when playing dead!
I could do this all day!

Last Saturday I joined the Elite and took a trip to Dressage at Devon. Dressage to me looks like a bunch of fancy ponies prancing around (sometimes to music) in an arena. But being as I’m a super amazing horse trainer, I know it’s got to be so much more than that. Mom told me that Dressage is sort of like Ballet for horses (except without the tutus). In fact, my mom herself has a fancy smancy Dressage horse, Niatross – or as we call him around the farm “Nitro”. When Nitro was younger he was apparently quite the Dressage competitor, but nowadays Nitro is happily enjoying retirement at the family farm. Should I be so lucky someday!
My view from the stands
During my trip to Devon I got to watch the Grand Prix Dressage Freestyles, in which the horses ride to music. Sometimes Dressage can get kinda boring – and it’s typical to hear a lot of Classical Music. However, this year a lot of the riders used some really neat music – including Madonna’s “Vogue”. I don’t know much about music, but I do know I was dancing in my seat to all the cool beats!
The other thing about Devon is the crowds, not just the people crowd, but the dog crowd. It’s a known fact that only the coolest dogs attend Devon. I’m not trying to brag, but I’m like a Devon expert. I know just how to navigate the crowds without being stepped on – and believe me, I can totally sniff out the funnel cake!
I smell funnel cake!
During my escapades in the crowd I met lots of new people. I even met a lady that said she bred Dachshunds. She told me I was a very gorgeous Dachshund – don’t worry I told her I was a boy and that she should call me handsome. She oo’d and ahh’d over my red dapple coat….and something about Wild Boar hair on my tail. I don’t know what the heck she was talking about, but I KNOW I didn’t come from any Wild Boar.
Oh please let me eat those french fries!
Fancy Dressage ponies weren’t the only ones at Devon. I even got to meet a few “officers” – I promise I’m not in trouble with the law. I kinda kept my distance though, would you believe that their feat are bigger than my entire body? I didn’t know ponies came that big!?
Do they need any police dog Dachshunds on the force? I could sniff out bad guys!
Sigh. Devon proved to be just too exhausting for me and I conked out before the end of the show. Maybe next year I’ll be able to stay up for the whole thing!
It’s past my bedtime
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
Ok well I didn’t really cry…..instead I jumped for joy, because yesterday was my Birthday and I got lots of fun presents! I didn’t know what to play with first!
Yeah seriously, this is something from a dream….I mean a GIANT tennis ball, how cool is that!
Flying Squirrel…oh boy!
And a gift from my bestest friend, Trooper, thanks pal! I’ll TRY to save you a bone.
When I heard that my pal Minnow the pony learned how to play Baseball, I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty jealous. I figured the only way I could show him up was to take up a sport of my own – and do it way better.
So I give you, my first attempt at Bowling!
Yeah I know, pretty amazing huh? I need a little more practice, but I’m pretty certain I have NEVER seen Minnow bowl!
And on other more exciting news, TODAY IS MY SECOND BIRTHDAY! Mom said I have to wait until tonight to open my presents so that Dad can see me open them. Boo hoo! I guess I can wait a little longer….I’ll keep you all posted on the loot that I score!
Ok maybe I don’t want to burrow quite that far….there could be scary things. Just to be safe I think I’ll settle for burrowing into my new burrow bags from Doxiedelights!
Mom helped me pick out custom fabric, I think the birds are my favorite!
so cozy...
Check it out, it matches my collar!
Oh and fyi mom, I know my Birthday is tomorrow, but these don’t count as my gifts….on account that you gave them to me early! hehe.

This blog post will have you humming this song in no time! Everyone needs a buddy.
A few days ago I found my buddy in the mail. I was shocked when I saw they hadn’t poked any air holes for him!?
How you breathing in there buddy?
I’ll rescue you Buddy!
I’m not sure he can be resuscitated
Regardless, I love my new Buddy
My Buddy and Me
Thank you for my special friend! He will last until I decide to chew him up into tiny pieces. Then it will be time for a new Buddy to share my love with. Don’t judge me.
This is no joke. I’m all for snuggling in a pile of clean laundry, heck I’ll even settle for DIRTY laundry. But when it starts to attach itself to my limbs, this is when I begin to draw the line. I’m keeping my eye on you laundry…..
Just minding my own business like a good pup
Where did you come from t-shirt?
Where did you come from sock?
Sigh.
Time to fight back
Low Rider. That’s me. I make even the coolest ride look cooler.
If you follow me on facebook, than you might know that my “ride” reached a milestone of 300,000 miles last week.
Seeing as how it’s my 2nd Birthday next week (October 5th)…I told mom that maybe it was time to upgrade the good old Chevy Tahoe. Now don’t get me wrong, me and the Tahoe have had some good times. It’s the first car I rode in!
And who can forget how cool the Tahoe is….I mean come on, check out those black-out windows. Do you know how many people I mooned while driving down the highway? Yeah, they didn’t know either – it’s a wonder even I could see out them windows. I certainly rode in style uniquely in that thing – you could hear it rumbling down the street a mile away, even Trooper knew when I was on my way to his house!
So a few days after the Tahoe’s milestone achievement we picked up my new ride.
Can you believe it? My parents bought me an ’04 Ford Expedition for my Birthday! woo hoo. Unfortunately I only have my learners permit.
So for now I’ll just have to settle for riding in the back seat….atleast I have my own window now!
Plenty of room for all my friends in this ride!
Doggie dreaming is the best. I mean where else can I live out my wildest fantasy like chasing and CATCHING groundhogs, or burying an eight foot bone? In my dreams I out-catch the World’s best Frisbee dog, win the race against a greyhound, out-eat a St. Bernard (although I can probably do this one without dreaming too), and herd sheep better than an Australian Shepherd. Oh and I can also reach the kitchen counter.
What can you do in your dreams?
