Missing the Farm

Those of you who are regular readers of my blog know that I’m a pretty active guy. I’m always going on exciting adventures, taking training classes, and generally just running around (boy do I love to run). But ever since Mom had surgery I’ve had to stay home a lot to take care of her. I don’t mind taking care of mom (and the good news is only 2 more weeks before we can return to regular adventures), but I do very much miss some things, like visiting my friends on the farm.

The good news is, Mom was missing the farm just as much as me, so over the weekend we took a trip out to visit all of my friends.

The Chincoteague Ponies missed me the most, and I missed Boomerang, Blitz, and Minnow just as much!

I also missed running! So I ran and ran and ran!

I also helped do farm chores, like herding the horses out to the pasture.

And then I ran some more! (Check out how much further along Trooper’s new house is! I can’t wait to give you the tour once Mom can walk a little better).

Trooper and I also did some wrestling. I won as always.

Then I spent the rest of my time on the farm helping to brush Minnow, my favorite pony in the whole wide world!

My time on the farm came and went too quickly. But I know soon we will be back to visiting my friends nearly every day – and it will be Spring! I can hardly wait! Ammo the Dachshund

Visit to the Uwchlan Hills Elementary School

Last Friday I took a trip to the Uwchlan Hills Elementary School for Reader Appreciation Day & Dr. Suess’ Birthday. I’m certainly no Dr. Suess, but I did bring along one of my favorite books, Superdog: The Heart of a Hero.

I was so excited to meet the 3rd grade class that I’d be reading to, I could hardly wait. I even wore my special super hero cape, because I knew the kids would love it.

After mom helped me read the book I brought, I then got to show all the kids my super cool tricks – like playing dead, jumping through a hoop, and giving some awesome high-fives.

Afterwards I even showed the kids my special movie that my friends the Painting Ponies are in too.

Not to brag, but the kids didn’t even want to go to their lunch because they were having so much fun petting me. They even dressed me up in a Dr. Suess hat!

And had I packed my lunch that day – I probably would of stayed too.

Going to school was so much fun, kinda makes me wish I could go every day! 

 

Letting it All Out

Did you ever have one of those days where you just want to scream at the top of your lungs out of frustration? Well I had one of those days yesterday.

See, what I thought would be a nice little day off at home turned into an unexpected (on my part apparently) visit to the vet to get my lyme vaccine shot, nails trimmed, and my butt cleaned. Yea, not really what I wanted to be doing.

When I got home from my little excursion I was just grumpy. Grumpy from being poked and proded, and all I wanted to do was yell really really loud. Only dogs can’t yell.

So instead, mom let me do the next best thing. She let me shred one of her magazines.

It might not look very exciting to you, but you know what, when I was all done ripping that thing to bits I felt way better!

P.S. Don’t worry, I recycled all the pages afterwards, because I’m responsible like that.

Kings in the Corner

I may not be a regular like Trooper, but I’m no stranger to a nursing home visit. And when I do visit, it’s the highlight of my day!

Getting to ride the elevator is so much fun, especially when mom lets me press the button!

Then me and Trooper get to spend time visiting with everyone – and posing for the mandated photo op.

Everyone always has a good time, because honestly, who doesn’t love a Dachshund in a sweater? But at the end of the day I really only came for one thing……

….to whoop everyone at Kings in the Corner!
