Apple Sauce

Last Monday my pal Trooper came over and we made apple sauce! Ok, so I didn’t really make it per-say…but I did help collect apples from the tree in the back yard!

Apples are fine and dandy, but when are we going to plant a tree that grows bones? I’d gladly tend to that tree all by myself!

We have apple sauce!

Shoes

Shoes. They smell like stinky versions of our people and they taste even better. But this post isn’t about shoes – it’s about where those shoes go.

I mean duh I know my people have sensitive feet and require protective shoes (unlike my tough paws that can climb mountains), but I’m talking about where they go when they aren’t in use. At my house this is a big box. A big box with grassy stuff on the outside that I may or may not have chewed up when I was a pup. I won’t admit to anything!!

Anyway, while Trooper was hanging out at my house the other day, my mom decided to fix the unsightly shoe box. I was just thrilled that all the shoes ended up on the floor! I may or may not have tried to squeeze a few through my doggie door. I won’t admit to anything!!

ooooh, shoes!

I'm gonna blame it on Trooper. hehe

I'll TRY not to touch it this time! I mean Trooper did it!

I’ve Got Talent

Just when I thought things were winding down for the summer, and I was gonna have to start preparing for hibernation, something exciting has happened! Something even more thrilling than my “play dead” trick! And it’s pretty thrilling!

My mom entered me and my bestest pony pal, Minnow, into a talent contest. And we were accepted!

So what does this mean exactly? I’ll tell you what….

From October 29 – 31 Minnow and I will be at the Equine Extravaganza in Doswell, Virginia. On October 30th Minnow and I will compete against other contestants for the chance to win fame and fortune! The contest will take place on Saturday from 11:30am – 1pm at the Meadow Event Park.

I’m excited, but really nervous too! Mom said I have lots of work to do to get ready, because I don’t have as much performance experience as Minnow does. As long as I have my stunt helmet and cape I know I can do it! So if you feel like visiting me at the Equine Extravaganza I know I could sure use the cheering section!

Stay tuned as next month I’m sure mom will be helping me learn lots of new tricks in preparation for my BIG performance!

Scratch it

Lately I’ve been pretty busy making Artworks. I’m in high-demand you know….these paws are gold, pure gold I tell ya!

Over the past few months I’ve been really perfecting my technique. The one pawed scratch, the two pawed scratch, the scratch with all 4’s! You gotta vary it up if you want to make amazing scratch art! Sometimes I even amaze myself at my ability.

Anyhoo don’t take my word for it….just see for yourself….

Just keep digging, just keep digging.

Rub-a-Dub

Rub-a-Dub Dub, there’s a Dachshund in the tub!

I’m no fool, I know the ladies like me smelling like sunshine! Now will someone please come turn the water on for me?

Please Help.

Are you going to make me have to give the crazy eyes?

Now I've had to revert to yelling!

Sigh. I guess I'll have to get my scrub on another day.

Off to find something stinky to roll in....just so someone HAS to give me a bath

In the Doghouse

No, I’m not grounded. Are you kidding? I’m a perfect angel ALL THE TIME, most of the time, sometimes. *wink* *wink*

Actually though, I am in the Doghouse. Doghouse Burgers that is. Yeah I know, coolest name EVER! And the best part is that Doghouse Burgers is located just across the street from my mom’s shop in town. So when I’m being an extra perfect Angel, mom sometimes takes me over there for dinner. And if I’m really really good, I even get a taste of the best burgers in town. yum yum

Is my meal ready yet?

I think I’m gonna need a doggie bag

P.S. they also have hot dogs. But don’t worry, they aren’t made from cute weiner dogs, I checked.

Happy Howl-a-day!

Ok I know I’m about 3 months early for Christmas, but I can’t help it. The thought of presents under the tree are just sooo enticing!

This year I wanted to be extra prepared, so I made up a line of Christmas cards featuring me playing in the snow! Now you can send my cute mug all over the World – and we all know I’m all about World domination! Ammo for president! Woo hoo!

Anyway, here’s the new goods in my Etsy shop that I share with Painting Pony. Stock up early to avoid the Holiday rush!

Lazy Sunday

Every once in a while it’s pretty quiet around my house. “Lazy Sunday” is not usually a term that you hear when you live with me. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy basking in the sun as much as everyone else….but when there are adventures to be had, who has the time to sleep in?

In my dreams this is how I’m catered to everyday. Sunning every morning, accompanied by having your breakfast brought out to you. Don’t you wish everyday could be “Lazy Sunday”. Don’t worry….we’ll be back to our regular scheduled adventure postings soon. For now though, I’m off to enjoy my breakfast…..

oooh is breakfast ready?

I’ll have whatever your having

dang. just regular old kibble for me

Shotgun

Sometimes when my mom’s truck is full to the brim with stuff I get to ride in the front seat. Oh glorious day, how sweet the front seat is! I get a window (that rolls down I might add), and I get to feel the wind in my face.

But….pretty soon my excitement fades, and I remember that car rides make me sleepy – and there seems to be no where to sleep in the front seat. I miss my fluffy car seat in the back….

Where I normally ride.

Checking out the view from the front seat

starting to wish I was back in my comfy car seat

Sewing – Doggie Style

Lately my mom has been doing this thing called sewing. As far as I can tell she uses this noisy machine that attaches together tempting chew toys fabric into something that may or may not be useful. My mom said I could probably do a better job at sewing than she could, so I jumped at the chance to help. Turns out I never made it past the picking fabric stage – I think all the bright colors just distracted me.

Oh well, sewing has proven to be a great opportunity for me to catch up on my napping. I’ve got my paws crossed that mom will make me something useful one of these days.

What we making today?

Choosing fabric

I like this one

Just making sure the color will match my room

Are we done sewing yet?

Collapsing from boredum
