Weekend Snow

On Saturday we got our first snowfall of 2012 in Pennsylvania.

I love the snow, but sometimes I’d just much rather stay in bed.

The wind can sting your eyes, and….

…when the snow freezes it can be quite difficult for little paws to trek around in.

But, duty calls and I gotta dig deep and just keep going…..

…because there are certain ponies that don’t take “snow days”…..

….and become quite angry when they don’t get their morning hay.

I don’t complain much about leaving my warm bed on snow days though….

….because after all, someone has to make sure all the necessary “scents” are still in their designated place after a blanketing of new fallen snow.

 

Dapper Doxie

Sometimes a fellow just needs to get gussied up.

So the other day at work, I used my new bowtie I got for Christmas from Silly Buddy to practice my dashing good looks for everyone.

Now really, what’s more irresistible than a Dachshund in a bowtie?

My dapper good looks even look great from any angle.

Look deep into my eyes….closer…..closer….

….now feed me some cookies! My belly is hungry!

 

Disclosure – I was not paid or perked by Silly Buddy in any way. I just simply think their collars and bowties are super duper awesome!

Santa’s Secret Workshop

Last week I was busy working away on a secret project for the Holidays. I made Christmas Cards! Yay!

Mom fashioned a beard for me out of some cotton and a string and I happily posed for portraits in a cheerful little Santa hat we got at the dollar store last year.

Picture taking always proves to be the easy part, it’s coming up with the inside greetings that takes a little more effort.

But this year I came up with my very own version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas….

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And left tiny paw prints all covered in soot.
The beard of his chin was white as the snow,
His twinkling eyes gave off a warm glow.

He spoke not a word, but gave out a sigh,
As he gobbled the milk & cookies in the blink of an eye.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
“I like peanut butter cookies, next time get it right!”

Rocket Dog 2.0

Remember how I lost my rocket pack that my mom made me for Halloween? And I suspected that the groundhog in my backyard found it and was rocketing around all over the place? Yeah, well I was pretty sad about not having a Halloween costume this year, but my mom knew just what to do to make me feel better.

It’s Rocket Pack 2.0! My mom made me another one – an UPGRADED one to be exact.

See version 2.0 has wings, which means I can rocket even faster!

I was having so much fun playing Halloween dress up that I even tried out a few different versions for my costume. Rocket Dinosaur? It’s a possibility.

Ultimately I think I decided on just plain Rocket Dog though, it really highlights the rocket pack. Although there is one more thing that would make my costume out of this world…

ammo the dachshund rocket dog

Mom, can you PLEASE make me a rocket ship out of this cardboard box?

I promise if I end up blasting to the moon that I’ll be back in time for dinner! After all I don’t want to miss tick-or-treating.

Happy Howl-o-weenie Everyone!
