Growing Up

Today is my best friend’s Birthday. Can you believe it, Trooper is turning 4!! They grow up so fast. I didn’t know Trooper when he was just a baby (we met when Trooper was 1), but mom says that he grew up at her shop just like I did!

Yeah, he was pretty cute back then huh?

But then Trooper grew up (don’t worry Troop, I still think you’re cute), and I came along….

And now we get to spend all of our Birthday’s Together. Sappy but true.

Happy Birthday Pal! Looking forward to spending many more together.

The Dog Door

Yes, the dog door. Sometimes it’s my best friend. Perfect for bringing inside sticks, apples from the apple tree and lots more outside treasures when mom isn’t looking. Yet other times it’s my enemy. Too small to fit the real treasures through.

I think I need an upgrade to the extra wide model.

The Cat-Dog

I really think she has no clue.

And she must be spending way too much time with me. Not that I blame her. I am a super fun guy. But really, just look at that face….

….that’s the face of a CAT, not a dog, a CAT. And Spider the kitten really has no clue that she’s supposed to be a cat. Which is probably why Spider has taken to chasing her tail on a regular basis:

 

just like her big brother Ammo…

Capeless Super Dog

It’s that time of year again. Time to break out my super helmet & super cape and start practicing all of my super skills! Because this super dog is going to school!

Really.

Apparently next week me and my pal Minnow the Painting Pony are taking a trip to an elementary school! I have to know something about the famous Misty of Chincoteague – you know – from the children’s book. Something tells me I better get the cliff notes, that or maybe Minnow will let me copy off of him if there’s a test.

Regardless on being a little behind on my reading assignments, I have been practicing really hard.

Oh, what’s happening over there?

Spider & Cricket are off on a hunting expedition without me?

Sorry, my super hero duties will have to wait until later! I’ve got some hunting to do!

 

P.S. Super Heroes are a lot more SUPER when SOMEONE remembers to bring their SUPER CAPE to practice. Honestly. I would have made my hoop jump had I had my special cape!

 

Sofa Match

After the big horse show over the weekend I invited my pal Trooper over to play.

We always have lots of fun….well when Trooper isn’t moping & crying for his mommy. (He’s kinda a baby).

Buried Treasure

I’m telling you guys, there is a buried treasure in the closet at work. No one believes me….. but really….it’s there! Ever since I started digging for it in the closet mom decided to barricade me out.

She’s really gonna regret not letting me in there when she finds out about all the treasure and golden coins she’s missing out on!

Sigh.

I wonder how hard it would be to tunnel under?

America’s Cutest Cats

I admit, it took me WAY too long to post this video. Most of my facebook fans know that back in 2010 I made a little cameo appearance on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Cats with my farm pal, Cricket. Just a short clip of a good old wrestling match between me and my gal which they noticed on Youtube and requested to use. Check it out:

You might remember that I was also on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Dogs with my favorite pony, Minnow!

This makes me sorta like a Reality TV Star then right? It’s only a matter of time before I have my own show – you better get your autographs now, before I’m swamped with paparazzi!

Happiness is a Warm Blanket

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.

Friday Fetch: Doxie Sculptures

Today’s Friday Fetch is from Bunny with a Tool Belt, where cute and colorful wooden sculptures is the name of the game. They just make me smile! And what’s even better then a whimsical sculpture, but a sculpture of a cute little Dachshund, because we all know that Dachshunds are the cutest dogs there ever were! Sorry but I am a little biased, do you blame me?

Here are two of my favorite Dachshund Sculptures.

The rockin’ out Doxie.

And the Double Rainbow Dachshund, you know, because double rainbows are AMAZING.

Shop for these super cute Dachshund sculptures here.

Stocking Stuffer

Ok, before you label me “Bad Dog” let me explain. I honestly thought that maybe, just maybe, Santa thought I was so good this year that he brought me some Christmas goodies in my stocking early. I guess I was wrong…

Only 6 more days! I think I can make it!!
