Blankies are wonderful snuggling companions. They also make really good chew toys. And in my case, sometimes those two things can work against each other. And that is how I ended up in this predicament….
P.S. My pal Trooper likes blankies too. He taught me everything I know. Evident in the above photo.
It always starts so innocently. You’re just having a good sniff in the wilderness with your best pal….
….and then the next thing you know, you’re fighting over a towel.
Sometimes you can win the fight…..
….and then other days you’re just feeling really weak restricted by some cumbersome winter coats.
So if you think you “might” lose, there is always one full-proof plan.
Run to mom for help.
And then when your opponent gets scolded by mom…..you attack!
Playing dead afterward will ensure that you get lots of loving from mom.
Now go forth and be victorious. And please, don’t tell Trooper my fighting secrets.
Something about “retro” photos make me think back to the days of my youth. Ah to be young again…..
Somehow you get away with so much more when you’re tiny….
Hard to imagine my pal Trooper was once as tiny as I was. Boy I wish I knew him then….wrestling matches would have been so much fairer. Trooper might have had a chance back then. 🙂
Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends out there! And just in case no one’s told you yet today….
It’s true.
You might be wondering why I’m dressed up in my Artist gear. Well, it’s because over the weekend I was very busy making a very special Valentine’s Day gift for my bestest pal, Trooper.
Just don’t mention this to my girlfriend Cricket, I sorta forgot to get her something! Shhh!
Anyway, here’s what I gave Trooper for V-day…
I made a portrait of him! I think it looks just like him, don’t you? And just in case you forgot to get someone a Valentine’s Day present too, I can make a custom pet portrait for you too!

Kisses from your pal, Ammo.
Yesterday you got to read part 1 of my Holiday Adventure, and now it’s onto part two, where I got to visit my pal Trooper’s House for more Holiday fun.
When I got to Trooper’s house he has a special present just for me.
Yeah it was a pretty sweet toy! I’m still having a blast playing with it!
I had a special gift for my pal Trooper too.
Trooper was so excited he could hardly contain himself! You see, I got Trooper a new collar from SillyBuddy.
Yea, I was a teensie bit jealous at how good he looked in it.
And then guess what!? Santa brought Trooper some reindeer antlers too!
After Christmas at Trooper’s house I got to go see my cousin’s Chase & Jimmy!
We had some laughs, we even cried a little, but don’t worry…..we made up in the end. And lets just say I got a few dinner rolls thrown my way by my cousins. hehe.
It was the perfect end to my Holiday!
My Holiday Cheer came in lots of packages this year! Woo hoo! I must have done something really good to deserve it.
You might remember my Holiday Wish List I made earlier, well I think Santa must have seen it too, because he brought me lots of goodies that I wanted! I even got a few items from some very special friends!
First I got to open a special gift from my friend Buddy!
Just check out how awesome I look in my new SillyBuddy collar, and yes, it has mustaches on it. I mean come on, how cool is that!
It really made me smile!
Then I got to open a gift from my mom ….
And you’ll never guess what I got…..
It’s a mustache id tag to match my new collar from Makeyourdogsmile
I can’t wait to show off my new wardrobe at the dog park! Everyone will be jealous.
Then it was another gift from mom and dad!
A new squeak toy! Oh boy!
Then my dad got me my VERY OWN hamster!
(he was pretty fun…until I realized he wasn’t real!)
And then it was the very special gift from SANTA!
It’s reindeer antlers….maybe from Blitzen? Or Rudolph???? I’m so lucky! Don’t worry though, there was a note in the box from Santa that said they were naturally shed reindeer antlers, meaning no magic reindeers were harmed to get them, phew!
After Christmas at my house I got to go to my pal Trooper’s house for more Christmas!
Trooper was in the festive mood when I arrived. He had fun showing me all his new toys! Trooper even got me a special toy for Christmas.
But you will have to wait until tomorrow to hear about the rest of my Christmas adventure!
I’m soooo nice to my pals. Like really nice. So nice that I share my toys and my bones! Just check out this video from when Trooper and Spider visited the shop.
Ok fine, I was out on my walk and I had no idea that Spider was playing with my favorite toy, and Trooper was eating my bone. But I MIGHT have shared if they had asked!
Most of my facebook friends already know, but I got to visit Santa Paws on Saturday!!
Santa decided to make a special trip from the North Pole to visit all of the good little dogs of Downingtown, Pa. And if getting to sit on Santa’s lap wasn’t enough, I got to meet lots of new friends!
I even met another Doxie just like me!
Yea, Dutchess the Dachshund kinda freaked me out with her glowing eyes too. Me and Trooper were scared. Do you see Trooper in the background waiting to see Santa!?
I made faces at Trooper while he got his picture taken.
Although I have to admit, I’m a little jealous of his pearly white smile! Trooper’s that is. But despite Trooper’s toothy grin, I can still one-up him…..
….I can fit on Santa’s lap!
And yes, I was a tad scared of Santa. Hopefully he won’t hold that against me and will still stuff his sleigh with goodies for me! Please Please Please no coal for Xmas Santa. I promise to leave you milk and cookies.
And in case you missed it, here’s a photo of me in 2008….the very first time I met Santa Paws.
P.S. Santa told me to relay a message to all my Friends……. Merry Christmas!!!
Visiting with Santa Paws benefited the SPCA of Chester County.
On Sunday we had our last event at Iron Horse Farm before winter. Me and Trooper helped out.
Ok fine, maybe we weren’t THAT helpful.
See photos from the event here.
Just having some fun with mom at the farm. I think if I ever wanted to run away, they’d totally let me join the circus. Don’t worry, I have NO plans to run away….I’m just saying, I think I’d be a top pick, don’t you?
Minnow could come with me too. Just check out us doing what we do out at the farm:
Yeah we make a pretty unstoppable pair. Maybe we should just start our own Circus, Trooper could be the elephant and Cricket could be the tightrope walker. Now that’s one Circus I’d want to see!
