The Man of the House
Ammo on his way to fight the bugs
Ammo the Dachshund is resident bug killer around my house. I don’t call the husband when there is a bug crawling around – I call Ammo. His bug killing days got him in to trouble this past summer though – he must have gone after one of the many Wolf Spiders we had creeping into our home, because he ended up with a VERY swollen nose and trip to the vet.
Here’s a video of Ammo saving me from the stink bug invaders. My hero!
Noodle or Dachshund?
Just a fun video of the Dachshund and his antics. Enjoy!
Get to Know Them
My horse, Nitro, gives a big smile for the camera
I’ve added a new page to the blog – all about getting to know the Trick Ponies of Chincoteague. So pop on over here for names/photos/stats on all 3 trick ponies. There are also links to the full bios for each pony – so you can learn a little bit about how each pony came to live with me.
I also added a sub page for the Trick Pony Friends – which includes the Dachshund of course, my retired Dressage horse, Nitro, my sister’s horse and the Dachshund’s best friend, Trooper.
Hope you enjoy learning a little more about the menagerie of animals that have fallen into my home and my heart and give me something to write about each day.
Where could he be?
Just had to share this cute video of the Dachshund.
Ammo, we all know you are cute, but please stop destroying your dog beds.
Love, Kyley
Trick Pony Goals
So I thought if I wrote down some of my goals for the Trick Ponies in 2010 it might actually help me to accomplish them. Hopefully our cold winter doesn’t last too long and I can get to training them soon! So here’s my list (in no particular order):
1. Teach Minnow to rear
2. Teach Blitz and Boomer to lay down on command
3. Finish teaching Ammo and Boomer to paint
4. Come up with a new skit for Minnow to perform
5. Make a new video of all of the trick ponies (and the Dachshund) performing
6. Move Boomer up to compete in the Masters Division in Mounted Games
7. Take Blitz to a bombproofing clinic/and or some Dressage events
8. Teach Ammo and Minnow some tricks together
9. Find more venues/performances for Minnow to do – events that raise money for charities would be great.
10. Spend more time doing “nothing” with the boys
Blitz is the first of the Chincoteagues to learn to lay down
So what do you think? Anything I should add? Suggestions on new tricks to teach the boys? I’d love to hear your goals – maybe you want to learn more about clicker training – maybe you just want to teach your horse one trick? Whatever it is, I wish you much success in the new year! Click on!
