World Cup

World Cup Soccer // Ammo the Dachshund // Team USA

Today marks the official start of the FIFA World Cup, and if you haven’t guessed already I’m a huge soccer (football to many of you) fan just like my dad.

It’s also probably quite obvious that I’m rooting for team USA….after all I am an American.

But you know, if they allowed dogs to tryout for the team I probably would be their star player right now (well and if they made soccer cleats in puppy sizes). Even better than Clint Dempsey!

Not only would I look great in the USA uniform, but I’m also quite exceptional with the soccer ball.

Dribbling and passing, even goal scoring – I can do it all!

I’ve even mastered my GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL yell! And after all, that’s the most important part when it comes to soccer!

So hopefully without my awesome soccer skills USA can still take home the World Cup title, although it would of been a heck of a lot easier with me on the team!

Happy Halloween Friends!

Yesterday I shared my homemade Halloween costume for this year, and today I thought it would be fun to share some of the details from my annual Halloween Party!

As you know I dressed as Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but for the party I added an extra special accessory. My red mini glowdoggie was the perfect accessory, and as a bonus it kept me safe too.

One year during our annual Halloween party I happened to escape out the front door, but thankfully I was wearing my Glowdoggie, so I wasn’t lost in the dark for long. So now every time we have a party my Glowdoggie is a necessary accessory!

I was so excited to show off my costume to all my friends, but of course everyone was fashionably late!

My dad dressed as Mr. Clean, even going as far as to shave his head! Now that’s Halloween dedication.

Mom was Inspector Gadget, and I was just really bummed that her go go gadget helicopter didn’t actually work!

We were all decked out and ready as the first party guests started to arrive.

I was excited to see my pal Trooper showed up dressed as a soccer player, but I really couldn’t figure out why he kept screaming GOOOOOAAAALLL all night long when the soccer ball was tied to his own back!

Trooper loved my costume and was convinced I had pizza hiding under my turtle shell, so all night long he kept checking!

As more and more guests started to arrive I was excited to see that we even had a horse guest! Now the party was really getting started!

We partied and partied and then partied some more, but wouldn’t you know, my pal Trooper was the first one to hit the floor. He just can’t hang like I can!

As my guests headed home for the night the spooky figures in the front windows of my house waved goodbye….I’m pretty sure some of the party goers had nightmares!

I’m sad that the Halloween season is coming to an end, but I’ll have one last hurrah tonight as I bark at all the trick-or-treaters!

Happy Halloweenie!

Make sure you check out what my pals, the Painting Ponies, dressed up as this Halloween! Ammo the Dachshund

Tuesday Night Lights

Last night I attended my very first men’s college soccer game at the University of Delaware.

As fascinating as it was to watch the Blue Hens play Lafayette, I actually didn’t attend the game specifically to watch the men’s soccer team play. (sorry boys).

Nope, I actually had my eye on the sidelines for a good part of the time.

See the girl on the end there? That’s my Aunt Laurel – and she’s a senior in the Athletic Training Program at the University of Delaware. So while the boys were busy trying to score goals, Laurel was tending to bloody noses, helping hobbling players off the field and icing legs. Pretty cool right?

In fact I was so excited to come support the team that I even wore my blue and gold winter coat (you know, in Delaware colors).

Everyone thought I was the BIGGEST fan ever…..I didn’t argue, because no one has to know it was my very first game. hehe.

 

You can check out the game day recap here (sadly UD lost) but it’s still fun to look at the senior appreciation photo up top where my Aunt Laurel is pictured second to last on the right.
