Fair Hill International 2014

Just like last year, I attended the Fairhill International event to watch one of the most prestigious international three day horse events in the world this past weekend.

This time I was a seasoned pro on the school bus ride over to the grounds. I made sure to assure all the other dogs on the bus that we weren’t in fact headed for school (because who goes to school on a Sunday?).

My first stop on the grounds…..lunch! And with lots of choices to choose from I begged mom to get the steak sandwich wrap….mmmm…..steak.

Next I hit up the shopping tents – in which all the venders commented on how I was the best dressed dog there! (I do try my best)

Then it was time for the main event….Show Jumping! I spent the afternoon watching as Jennie Brannigan and her horse, Cambalda, took home the Gold!

By the end of the day I was exhausted from “riding every stride” with the competitors as I cheered them on!

Good news is I have an entire year to rest up for next year’s event! Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: RESQ CO Rope Dog Leash

Perhaps it’s because I grew up on a farm that I have a strong love for leather and rope – and when those two things combine in the form of a dog leash, call me in love.

Camping 101

I’m pretty much the king of camping.

I’m so good at camping, that I even bring along my pony when I go camping.

Want to see inside my tent? It’s pretty cool.

I unrolled the sleeping bags all by myself.

Want to come see how I collect sticks for the campfire?

It’s key to whittle your sticks down to the right size – something they probably don’t tell you in the boy scouts, and I know, because I’m a stick collecting expert.

But as much as I’m an expert in all of the camping ways, could someone please do me a favor….

Can you tell the tent manufacturers that they really need to start making built in doggie-doors.

This is really cramping my style!
