You know you want a big sloppy dachshund kiss from your favorite super hero!
Come meet me today and tomorrow at the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show ! Minnow & I are going to be doing tricks all day long!
You can catch us on Saturday from 10 – 2pm (Minnow will do a special painting at 11am, 12pm, and 1pm) and on Sunday from 11 – 4pm (Minnow will do a special painting at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm).
We hope you can join us!
P.S. I like hot dogs and cheese! hehe 
Oh hey, fancy seeing you here.
I bet you’re wondering what kind of adventures I’m up to today!
Since you asked so politely, I’ll tell you. I’m busy packing, because me and Minnow the Painting Pony are headed to an event this weekend.
We’re going to have a booth at the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show on Saturday AND Sunday! Minnow & I are going to be doing tricks all day long, and we’re both bringing some of our famous paintings that will be available to purchase. I’m even bringing my Christmas cards!
You can catch us on Saturday from 10 – 2pm (Minnow will do a special painting at 11am, 12pm, and 1pm) and on Sunday from 11 – 4pm (Minnow will do a special painting at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm).
We hope you’ll be able to make it, so I can meet all my friends in person!
But don’t worry, even if you can’t make the event – I always bring back lots of pictures and video! And don’t forget, I’ll be at the Chadds Ford Dog Days of Summer II event next weekend! Yeah!
It’s no surprise that I spend my time with a bunch of famous painting ponies. And when mom announces “it’s a painting day”, she really means it’s a painting DAY. As in I have to spend ALL day hanging around the farm while the ponies put their brushes to work.
Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing them create masterpieces, but all day can get kind of tiring.
But, the ponies always make sure everyone has a good time. Like Boomerang, who tells the best jokes when he’s painting – they even make him giggle!
At the end of the day, the best part is always the clean-up. Well, at least it is for little doxies that love to lick the floor clean of spilled cheerios and the ponies’ sweet feed.
You can check out all of the ponies’ masterpieces from our day of painting on their Blog.
P.S. Make sure you tell them that I sent you – so maybe next time they’ll leave a few extra cheerios on the floor for me!
Mornings on the farm can be pretty peaceful.
I’m usually greeted at the door by my partner in crime, Spider the kitten.
Most mornings she yells at my mom to feed her – while I dart inside to figure out what new adventures there are to be had.
Sometimes the only “adventure” to be had is sunbathing in the morning sun. And that’s ok.
But other days, you just itch for something more exciting. Something that makes you want to shout from the roof tops your groundhog hole. And just when you think that there might not be any “adventures” to have – the heavens shine down and your day becomes glorious again – because you found a DEAD SNAKE!
And the only reasonable thing you can think of to do……
……roll on top of that sucker until you smell just as stinky as it does.
It really turned out to be a glorious morning on the farm, don’t you think?
But don’t worry, even if you didn’t find a “dead snake” this morning the day is not lost…..
…..because I’m more than happy to mail you my dead snake – so you can also have a glorious morning too!
Today I’m in the mood for a little cuteness. And what’s cuter than videos of me as a puppy? Yeah, that’s what I thought….absolutely nothing!
And if you thought that was cute – check out this:
It’s almost too much cuteness to handle in one day.
I have some exciting news! Next month I’m going to be making some very special public appearances. First up I will be at the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show on September 3rd – 4th with my best pal Minnow the Painting Pony. We’re going to be parked out at my booth all day where we will have artwork for sale (by both me and the pony!) and we’ll be showing everyone some of our favorite tricks all day long. We also might be performing some of our acts in the main arena – when I have more details I will let everyone know! And as always the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show is a dog friendly event – so bring along all of your furry friends!

Also I will be at the Chadds Ford Historical Society Dog Days of Summer Event. The event is on September 10th -11th from 10am – 5pm – and the best part is….it’s a DOG FRIENDLY event too!
I’m going to have a booth set up where I’ll be selling some of my great artwork along with the Painting Ponies’ artwork too. Minnow the Painting Pony might also be in attendance – but we have to wait and see if they can make room for him (he is kinda hefty! hehe).
I hope I’ll get to see some of my facebook and blog friends at these events! Pretty soon I’m going to need a date book to keep track of all my appearances!
You can see a list of all the events I will be attending this year on the Painting Pony Calendar page!
***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!

Rumor has it that mom’s recapping all of Minnow’s adventures on Chincoteague Island last week on his blog. Which also means she’s hogging all my computer time….jeesh!
So while I patiently (or not so patiently depending on how you look at it) wait my turn on the computer – you can head on over to Minnow’s blog to check out all the fun I missed when they went to Chincoteague. And don’t forget, there is one more day to enter my giveaway for a FREE Scratch Art Painting! It just might be your lucky day!
***This Contest is no longer accepting entries***
Since my mom and minnow up and left me here alone all week while they are living it up on Chincoteague Island, I decided to have my own fun on this fine Friday. And what’s more fun than FREE STUFF?
So I decided to GIVEAWAY one of my very own pieces of scratch art! I made it with my very own paws! This particular piece is called White Dachshund No. 11 and I created it by scratching onto a specially prepared surface that my mom helped me make. It’s on a mauve acid free matboard background – matted in blue to fit an 11×14 frame. Trust me, this thing is a beauty in person! It comes signed by me and includes a certificate of authenticity – so you know it’s not a fake!
Below is all the details you’ll need in order to win this super awesome prize!
And be sure to check out all my other super art for sale in the shop!
PRIZE: One original piece of scratch art by Ammo the Dachshund (White Dachshund No. 11)
TO ENTER: Comment on this post (you must comment on the BLOG – not on our facebook page) with the words “SCRATCH ME” and….
BONUS QUESTION: Tell me your favorite summer hideout. Is it the creek or the dog park, or do you prefer building a fort in your basement like me?
GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 5:00pm EST
