Live Performance! Super Dog vs. Super Pony

Do you remember when Minnow and Ammo made their first Elementary School Visit back in May? Well, the day has finally come – their live performance video is complete! My brother Taylor (the filmmaker) shot and edited this whole video – and it turned out really cool!

We can’t wait to make more school visits in the future – making kids laugh is so much fun!

If you are having trouble viewing the version above, try the one below (without the super cool super hero music):

Tomorrow we’ll resume with out pony penning recap! Yeah!

Hero Juice

Rumor has it, Minnow has been drinking a whole lot of this lately:

Which would explain why he’s been constantly seeking telephone booths we’re down in Chincoteague performing for the 2011 Pony Penning!

We LOVE Minnow, but SUPER MINNOW is quite the showman.

He’s also quite the comedian…..

Oh Minnow, what would we ever do without you?

Off to Chincoteague

Well the day is finally here! We’re headed off to Chincoteague Island for the 2011 Pony Penning Swim!

The weeks leading up to our adventure were busy! Minnow kept himself occupied by painting and practicing his new performance to display at the Pony Centre this week.

We’re very much looking forward to showcasing everything we’ve been working and training hard for this week. We know not everyone can make it down for Pony Penning – in fact we had to leave our beloved Ammo the Dachshund at home (something tells me he’ll be sure to keep himself occupied without us though). But don’t worry, if you want to keep up with all the action & goings-on, be sure to head over to our facebook page – where we will try out best to keep you updated on everything we’re up to!

And when we return we’ll have lots of pictures and videos to share with you on the blog!

It’s a Super Life

Super Minnow has been performing his super duties around the farm lately. And as you can see, he plays the part VERY well! He’s been working on a super special new performance for pony penning this year, so you’ll just have to come visit us down in Chincoteague at the Chincoteague Pony Centre to see what it is!

June Events & Sitting Ponies

Well June is officially here – and thus begins our countdown to pony penning! The pressure is on for me to think up a new skit for Minnow to perform while we are down there. I have a few random ideas floating around my head – but suggestions are definitely welcome!

I do need to come up with a plan though, so I have an idea of what new tricks I need to teach Minnow this year. In the hopes that working on some new tricks might spark an idea for me I started training both Minnow and Boomerang to sit.

We’re at the beginning stages right now, (although Boomer has had some previous lessons on it last year with me – I just got a bit distracted before finishing it) but I’m sure they will both get it soon. I’ve been training them together – something I only sometimes do – but working them at the same time is really helping them to learn faster. Boomerang I think might catch on a bit quicker than Minnow, as he’s less concerned about touching his butt to a rustling bean bag chair. Minnow would much rather prefer to pick them up and throw them. haha.

I’ve also been having Minnow watch me cue Boomerang to lay down – and I’m just waiting for the opportunity when Minnow offers this trick to me so I can reward him. Any day now….I can just tell!

Amongst the pony training, Ammo has also been getting ready for his big performance at the Keystone Dachshund Races next weekend.

I swear he’s really excited! 🙂

Ammo will be performing around lunchtime with his pal Super Trooper (my mom’s Australian Shepherd/Labrador). This will be Trooper’s debut performance and he’s been working really hard! Let’s just say I’m off in search of a doggie sized tutu today – it’s going to be epic.

So if you are in the Lewisberry PA area next Sunday June 12th around from 12pm – 6pm – be sure to shop by to watch Ammo race for charity & perform with Trooper. We’ll also have a booth set up where ammo will be selling some of his artwork- with perhaps a few pieces from the ponies as well. It’s definitely a fun day with the profits benefiting the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. We hope to see you there!

P.S. Ammo says that anyone who sports a “Go Ammo” t-shirt on Race day to support him will get an extra slobbery kiss!
