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 &#8211; but suggestions are definitely welcome!<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1919\" title=\"minnow sitting\" src=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/06\/img_7631_2.jpg?w=333&#038;resize=333%2C500\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re at the beginning stages right now, (although Boomer has had some <a href=\"http:\/\/trickponies.wordpress.com\/2010\/05\/25\/take-a-seat\/\" target=\"_blank\">previous lessons<\/a> on it last year with me &#8211; I just got a bit distracted before finishing it) but I&#8217;m sure they will both get it soon. I&#8217;ve been training them together &#8211; something I only sometimes do &#8211; 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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been having Minnow watch me cue Boomerang to lay down &#8211; and I&#8217;m just waiting for the opportunity when Minnow offers this trick to me so I can reward him. Any day now&#8230;.I can just tell!<\/p>\n<p>Amongst the pony training, Ammo has also been getting ready for his big performance at the Keystone Dachshund Races next weekend.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1920\" title=\"ammo the dachshund super hero\" src=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/06\/img_7619_2.jpg?w=333&#038;resize=333%2C500\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I swear he&#8217;s really excited! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Ammo will be performing around lunchtime with his pal Super Trooper (my mom&#8217;s Australian Shepherd\/Labrador). This will be Trooper&#8217;s debut performance and he&#8217;s been working really hard! Let&#8217;s just say I&#8217;m off in search of a doggie sized tutu today &#8211; it&#8217;s going to be epic.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are in the Lewisberry PA area next Sunday June 12th around from 12pm &#8211; 6pm &#8211; be sure to shop by to watch Ammo race for charity &amp; perform with Trooper. We&#8217;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&#8217;s definitely a fun day with the profits benefiting the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n<p><em>P.S. Ammo says that anyone who sports a &#8220;Go Ammo&#8221; t-shirt on Race day to support him will get an extra slobbery kiss!<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1921\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1921\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1921\" title=\"blitz and minnow\" src=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/06\/img_7635_2.jpg?w=400&#038;resize=400%2C266\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1921\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blitz and Minnow grazing at home at Iron Horse Farm<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well June is officially here &#8211; and thus begins our countdown to pony penning!
