Summer Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

A few weekends ago some of my family from out of town came for a visit. Since I’m always up for a fun adventure, I decided to show them a good time with a weekend excursion on the river!

Just down the road from the family farm is the Brandywine River, which is the perfect place to do some river tubing on a hot day!

Since this wasn’t my first tubing adventure I got pretty brave and performed some dare-devilish (I was Evel Knievel for Halloween after all) stunts on the tubes by balancing on the edge!

I wasn’t the only one enjoying the river that day either, we even found this adorable turtle taking a dip!

As the sun started to set over the river I decided to trade in my tube for a canoe since it was getting a little chilly in the water.

I love to navigate the waters and I always have to stand at the very tip of the canoe (so I get to see everything first), even if it means that I might occasionally fall overboard. Not to worry though, I’m a pretty good swimmer!

Eventually we decided to park the canoe so we could take a swim in the river, which is also where I got to perform my very first water rescue!

Ok technically no one was ever really drowning, but how was I supposed to know that? I’m a Super Hero trained to save people, and when you’re a teeny tiny dog like me everything looks dangerous!

Thankfully everyone survived the rope swing, and I made sure my entire family made it back into their rafts for the remainder of the trip home.

Well, that is until we hit a river road block! “Everyone stay with your flotation device, keep your hands inside the raft, and do not drown!”

Phew! River Tubing is stressful for a Super Hero!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Do you think your dog would attempt to save you if you were drowning? (Don’t worry, I’m sure they probably would….unless there was an alluring groundhog hole nearby of course!)

  1. Good job, Ammo, so proud of you!!!!! And I love your life jacket, if Molly would like water and we could go to the river like you do, I would sure get her one!!!!

  2. You make me proud little buddy!! Wish I was with you to help drag that big guy in from the deep water. You are truely a super hero!!

  3. i like that doggie life jacket- it isn’t as bulky as ours. Since i am too lazy to navigate your blog on my tiny cell phone to find out the brand, do you mind telling me?

  4. Ammo,
    Sadly, I am 99.9% sure my dog would leave me in the water to drown. He hates water and I don’t think he really would risk his own life to save mine. Sad, but true. I hope if I am ever in a situation where I need a super hero, you will be there!
    thanks for sharing your river tubing adventure with us!
