Dog Days of Summer

Hey Pals! Today and tomorrow I’m hanging out at the Chadd’s Ford Historical Society Dog Days of Summer II event! From 10am – 5pm I’ll be mixing and mingling with all my friends (and doing a few tricks too with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony).

Goat Monster

On a recent trip to Highland Orchards I met some dogs goats monsters.

Mom reminded me that I have met goats before when I went to the corn maze last year.

True, maybe I had seen goats before, but these were not the SAME goats.

I know, because I sniffed them.

I mean they smelled friendly enough I guess.

But friendly or not, I quickly realized there was like a bazillion of them….and only one of me. Yikes!

I may have spent the rest of the day looking over my shoulder – you never know when a group of goats monsters might sneak up behind you!

Ludwigs Day 2

I’ll admit, after Day 1 at the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show I was a little tired. It’s hard being adorable all the time.

But, mom brought out the big guns (aka chicken) and I was more than happy to show everyone my favorite tricks!

Not trying to brag, but no one plays dead like I do!

Minnow drew a crowd too with his amazing painting skills……but really…..I stole the show!

“Super Ammo” knows how to make everyone laugh.

Even when you have technical difficulties with your stunt helmet.

In fact, I got so much love after my performances that I think Minnow was jealous!

All that excitement really wears a boy out!

When I got back to the farm I took a well deserved nap. Which actually ended up being pretty short lived…

Because Trooper was just begging to be chased!

Ludwigs Day 1

I spent my Labor Day weekend hanging out with my good pal, Minnow the Painting Pony at the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show. Our Mission – to make all the BIG & LITTLE kids laugh and giggle.

I’m not gonna lie, Minnow did most of the work on the first day. Not that I didn’t help – I just used my skills in a different way.

I used my stunning good looks and overall cuteness to attract a crowd.

You see, I’m utterly irresistible when I wear my stunt helmet.

After I drew in the crowd it was up to Minnow to entertain everyone with his amazing painting skills and super awesome tricks. I jumped in here and there with some of my awesome stunts – but I really got into the swing of things on Day 2, which you’ll hear all about tomorrow!

You can check out some more photos of my adventure with Minnow on the Painting Pony Blog. And even if you weren’t able to visit us at our booth last weekend, you can still check out all of our awesome artwork in our SHOP.

Lovely Weekend

Super Ammo the Dachshund

Hope everyone’s enjoying their Labor Day Weekend! Me, I was planning on going canoeing today with my family, but it looks like the rain may have put a damper on my plans. But don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll be able to come up with a nice adventuresome alternative! And I’ll be back tomorrow with a WHOLE lot of pictures from my busy weekend performing at the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show.

Here’s a sneak peek of me dishing out the love at the Horse Show.

Friday Fetch: Furry and Fancy

adam voorhes photographyI don’t know about you, but I LOVE having my picture taken. Dressing up like someone you aren’t, making silly faces, and simply having a good time! So when I stumbled across the photography of Adam Voorhes (via)- I knew – someday I must meet this guy so he can take my picture!

He somehow manages to make pooches, bears, and even chickens look dignified and fancy – and we all know how scrappy those chickens can be! hehe.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite shots – you can check out more of his work on his website.

Adventure Ahead

Oh hey, fancy seeing you here.

I bet you’re wondering what kind of adventures I’m up to today!

Since you asked so politely, I’ll tell you. I’m busy packing, because me and Minnow the Painting Pony are headed to an event this weekend.

We’re going to have a booth at the Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show on Saturday AND Sunday! Minnow & I are going to be doing tricks all day long, and we’re both bringing some of our famous paintings that will be available to purchase. I’m even bringing my Christmas cards!

You can catch us on Saturday from 10 – 2pm (Minnow will do a special painting at 11am, 12pm, and 1pm) and on Sunday from 11 – 4pm (Minnow will do a special painting at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm).

We hope you’ll be able to make it, so I can meet all my friends in person!

But don’t worry, even if you can’t make the event – I always bring back lots of pictures and video! And don’t forget, I’ll be at the Chadds Ford Dog Days of Summer II event next weekend! Yeah!

 

Visitor

Sometimes Trooper comes to visit me at the shop. When we were both younger Trooper and I both used to come to the shop together everyday, but then Trooper got a new job. Now Trooper visits the nursing home and rounds up the ponies on the farm almost daily – making his visits to the shop a little less frequent.

So when he does come to visit, I’m even more enthusiastic to see him.

“OMG It’s you! I can’t believe you came to visit!”

“I’m so excited I could kiss you!”

“Now that we’ve got that awkwardness out of the way, want to play tug-o-war?”

A Sign

Guess what!? Mom got me my very own banner!

I’m so excited I could shout it from the rooftops!

I did what any dog with a totally awesome new banner would do, I had a photo shoot!

I was pretty much feeling like the king of the World, but then I saw it….

The ponies got a new banner too……and it was like 4 times the size of mine.

The “What the heck, the ponies got a bigger banner than me” Pose!

Sigh. Talk about a total buzz kill.
