Over the weekend mom and I arrived at the farm to find a celebration! Mom said it was a baby shower for my soon-to-be little sister, although the way I saw it was a celebration of me becoming a big brother!
It was the perfect combination of ponies….
….and food! (My favorite).
Of course it wouldn’t have been a celebration if I didn’t break of my bowtie! The brother-to-be always has to look his best.
Even though my buddy Minnow was just outside in the pasture, we certainly had to include him in the festivities too. So he was inside in spirit for a pin-the-baby-on-the-pony game.
Eventually it was time for my favorite part of the day! Opening presents!
I’m an expert at gift unwrapping and I was super excited to see what all my friends and family brought to celebrate my “becoming a big brother”.
There were lots of sweet dachshund (and pony) related gifts that were opened but I was starting to realize why mom said it was a “baby shower”.
Eventually Trooper and I started to loose interest in the baby gear so I decided to checkout what fun games there might be for me to play instead.
I was in luck, because not only was there was a stinky inspired game just for me, but it also included candy bars in a “guess which candy bar/dirty diaper game”. I may or may not have gotten in big trouble for trying to steal one of them! 😉
I sulked for a bit about not being involved as much as I would have liked in this “baby shower”, but mom told me not to worry…
…for she says soon I’ll have to test all the baby gear for my sister before she comes. And something tells me mom and dad will be practicing carrying me around in this baby carrier pretty soon!
After the shower I helped gift all our special friends these cute little horse shoes to show how much I appreciated them coming to celebrate my little sister.
Mom, Dad, Minnow, Me and Boomerang (who just happened to be in another pasture for this picture) are super excited for my little sister to get here! I can’t wait to show her where all the groundhog holes are on the farm, she’s going to love it!
Do you include your dog in family gatherings and parties?
love the bow sweetie!
Congrats- you will be awesome big brother
Congratulations!
We’re so happy for you & Mama (Daddy too.)
U will be an awesome big bro!

Bow wow, you’ll make a great big brother, Ammo! Though most Dachshunds aren’t that kid friendly, I’m sure you’ll love your sister! I live with five kids and I love them all to death. This’ll be fun!
Congratulations! Love reading your blog!
Great pics, looks like a fun shower! Congrats! xo

Ammo – what a wonderful post! Thanks for sharing. Your mom is so cute with her little baby bump. This is going to be quite the adventure for all of you. The candy bar- diaper thing is hilarious… and disgusting lol! Hope you all have a safe, fun-filled holiday weekend! XXX 000
Wow! What a cool baby shower for your little sister! You’re going to make a terrific big brother and I love your bow tie! You have such a neat family. Ammo.
Who else thinks this is cool
So cool! Wonderful!
That sure is a cute picture, somebody else trying out baby shower stuff before the baby comes!!!!
Today was a wonderful day, Dukey received a surprise in the mail from Pet Qwerks!! Dukey won these Flavorite Chews online in a contest that Ammo the Dachshund had ……& he sure loves them, they are pawesome, 10/10 wags, thanks Ammo <3 <3 <3
So glad you’re enjoying the Pet Qwerks Toys Flavorit bones! They are pretty pawesome!
Ammo, thank you for sharing the pics of the celebration of you becoming a big brother. Such a cute shower theme too! I liked that you and Trooper were both included in the festivities. And the dachshund gifts were especially cute! ?

Congratulations to you and your entire family of people and pets. What fun youll be having chasing your sister around the farm…well…soon enough!!
You are going to be such a great big brother!! Your baby sister is so lucky to have so many playmates on the farm!
Awww….congratulations!!! You will make the very best big brother, Ammo!
You are going to be the best brother ever ammo❤
You will have so much fun being a big brother Ammo. We have two skin sisters and they are pawesome – they let us lick their faces, they make all kinds of funky smells, and sometimes they feed us their food (sitting under the high chair is the best spot in the whole house!!)
Congratulations to you, Trooper, mum, dad, Minnow and the rest of the gang.
Aaaaaahhhh!!!! Congratulations Ammo to you and to your Mommy and Daddy!!! You are so cute and you will make a FANTASTIC big brother to your little sister! So will Trooper! What an adventure ahead! Blessings, Roco
PS- I am always part of our family gatherings, too!
Congrats to you and your family! Looks like a fun party!! You are going to make a PAWsome big brother Ammo!
Oh Ammo a whole new set of adventures begin…
Yes indeed :p
Awesome info very interesting :/
You are going to be the greatest big brother !!
I love you
Awesome post…great pics and ideas for the party!.. cant wait for new adventures to begin!
Awesome post 🙂
Hey Ammo you and I have something else in common – I am a big sister (which is just a girl big brother). It is a really fun job with a lot of responsibilities but so worth it. I just know you are going to be the best big brother a sister could ever want. If you have any big sibling questions, just ask. sending best wishes to you and your family on this new adventure!
Hi ammo, be nice to your baby sister… love yah ammo
beautiful photos <3 You're going to be a great big brother! 🙂
Great family picture.
Ammo, you must be very patient when our new little sister arrives. Babies need a lot of attention so your mom and dad won’t be able to do or spend as much time with you. Just be patient. I know that’s a difficult thing for my doxie.
Congratulations to Mum and Dad, and to you of course, you will be a great big brother!!! Loved this post, and your Mum looks awesome!!!
Congratulations, it’s going to be so much fun watching you and your family grow! I can’t wait for Christmas this year… if baby arrives by then will there be a family photo with coordinating outfits??? Awesome!!
You’ll be such a great big brother!! Muskie kisses from your past pal Buddy boys mom!
So cool congrats !
