Welcome to my Blog! My name is Ammo, and I live quite an extraordinary life for a Dachshund.
I launched my blog in 2010 after the popularity of my Facebook fan page began to take off. I love sharing my adventures in the hopes of bringing a little happy (and a whole lot of tail wagging) to this world. Adventure Awaits around every corner, and I’m thrilled to get to share mine with you!
I not only take on the role of one and only dog at my home in Pennsylvania, but I also help run my mom’s business as official store greeter at her small custom frame shop in town. When I’m not busy saying hello to my adoring fans at the shop I am the sidekick to the talented Painting Ponies at the family farm. I love to “horse around” with the ponies – sometimes performing tricks with them in their acts. I also have a pretty sweet super hero costume! 
My mom and dad (Kyley & Mike) love taking me on adventures, and I’m proud to say that in 2012 I became a certified therapy dog and canine good citizen. I love making people smile and I pack a whole lot of personality inside this tiny dachshund body.
My mom takes most of the photography on my website (it helps that I’m pretty much a professional super model) and has aided me in my “schooling”. She loves teaching me new tricks and skills with clicker training and I’ve enjoyed dog agility, earth dog, barn hunt, and basic dog obedience classes over the years. Here’s a few of the awards I’ve gathered over the years..

So whether I’m hunting down ground hogs, running around on the family farm, greeting customers at work, digging up the latest and greatest pet products, or simply napping on the couch – I hope you’ll join for my next big adventure!
