Brrrrr!
Thanks to Whos Your Dachshund for sending me over this nifty scarf from Annie’s Sweat Shop after I won a prize on their blog! I’m sure it will keep me extra warm on those chilly mornings out at the farm!
Are you prepared for winter yet?

Adventures in Furniture Refinishing
Yeah….not really my idea of a good time either. But, mom was on a mission over the weekend to refinish an old dresser from the farm…..and who am I to argue?
I was given official inspection duty, you know, to make sure no spots were missed.
Aside from a few stink bugs, it passed my rigorous test.
Now the fancy new dresser is sitting pretty in the dining room.
Now if only I could decide on which drawer to put my bones in!
Agility Master
As my facebook fans might know, I’ve been taking an Intro to Agility Class at the Dog Training Club of Chester County. So far it’s been a lot of basic stuff to get me prepared for the obstacles, but this week I actually got to practice walking over some low jumps in class.
I don’t have any videos from class (where I’m of course a super star), but I do have this fun video of me and mom practicing at work yesterday.
After learning how to target my nose to spot with clicker training, my mom is having me complete an obstacle and then touch my nose to the target. We haven’t really progressed this far in the class yet, but mom said I’m so far ahead in my “homework” that it wouldn’t hurt to make it a little harder for me. I’m not complaining, I can’t wait to show the big dogs what I can do when we get to class next week (to be fair there is one corgi in my class…..but I’m by far the tiniest).
And since it’s Friday, I thought I’d show you another video. This is just to make you smile.
Yeah, that kitten is crazy. I don’t know whether I should play with her, eat her, or be afraid of her. It’s a conundrum.
Sometimes I Cry
Yes, I know I’m supposed to be a big boy…..but sometimes you just need your Daddy.
After my Dad visited me at the shop one Saturday, I was very sad to see him go. As embarrassing as it is, my mom caught my little “crying fit” on camera.
Can you blame me? We all lose it once in a while.
But don’t worry, I wasn’t sad for very long. My mom gave me a big juicy bone and I forgot all about my Dad after a few minutes (sorry Dad, I still love you).
Cat Nap
My new pal Spider may still be young, but one thing is for sure, she’s definitely mastered the cat nap. Bravo Spider, Bravo.
I very much look forward to some “cat naps” in the sun at the farm with my girls, Cricket and Spider.

Secret Stash
Ok, so if I show you something, you have to PROMISE not to tell my mom! This is like top secret stuff!
I have a little something hiding under my bed.
And since we are friends, I guess I can show you.
It’s The Dangerous Book for Dogs!
See….it’s not really on my recommended reading list, that’s been pre-approved by my mom.
With chapters “How to make your owner look like an idiot” and “How to ruin the perfect dinner party”, I don’t think my mom would approve. But, with a title that has the word DANGEROUS in it, I just couldn’t resist….I’m an adventure dog after all!
So please please please don’t tell my mom. I PROMISE I won’t turn into a “bad dog”….I just had to see what was inside this book! (And don’t worry I’ll tell you all about it after I read it)
It’s our little secret.

The Sky is Falling
I seriously thought the sky was falling a few weeks ago. I was scared.
I mean really, if you didn’t know any better, you’d think the sky was falling too.
But then, I realized it wasn’t the sky, it was just some migrating birds. “Some” doesn’t really cover it. Just check out this video mom took.
Yeah if that doesn’t make you have bird nightmares, I don’t know what will? This definitely makes me think twice about going “bird hunting” with Cricket. She’s on her own.
Work of Art
When you spend a lot of your time with a couple of Painting Ponies, it seems that there is always paint flying about. Literally.
All’s fair in love and art I guess!
