Footprints in the Snow

Last night when I was at the the farm it snowed! Being the adventuresome type that I am, I went off to do some exploring while the white stuff was falling from the sky.

Spider (of course) took it upon herself to follow me on my adventure, and never one to be out-done, Spider did a little showing off. (don’t tell her but I was slightly impressed with her tight-rope walking skills)

And as if she hadn’t already showed me up enough, then she took it upon herself to write her name in the snow.

I can’t read “kitty”, but I’m pretty sure that it says “Spider Rules and Ammo Drools”.

ammo the dachshund in the snow

Little did she know though, but I also know how to write my name in the snow!

And for those of you who can’t read “dog” it says, “Dear Spider, while you were out I ate all of your kitty food and left some yellow snow on your pillow. xoxo Ammo”.

I am Dog, Hear Me ~~Roar~~ Bark! hehe.

Jolly Good Time on the Farm

Sometimes I get the case of the zoomies on the farm. You can’t help but have a little skip in your step when you get to play on 20 acres of farmland.

Happy Monday!

The Cheese to my Macaroni

When I’m on the farm Cricket likes to do everything I do. She’s like the Cheese to my Macaroni, the Icing on my Cupcake, and the Ketchup to my French Fries all rolled into one.

When I climb logs, she climbs logs.

When I sniff scents, she sniffs scents.

And when I get lost in the depths of the giant scary log pile, she’s the one that’s sent to rescue me.

Thanks Cricket, for being the ever-lasting Cheese to my Macaroni!

My pony & me

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Ammo

There is one thing on the farm that gets my tail wagging more than anything else.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

His name is Minnow, and he’s my very special pony.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

My love for him is so great, that I can’t help but go bounding through the fields in excitement!

ammo the dachshund and minnow

Sometimes when I hang out with Minnow I like to pretend I’m a pony too. Nibbling grass all day long.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

Then other times I get bored of being a pony and I like to do dog things with Minnow.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

Minnow’s not so great at playing fetch though, but I can still pretend.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

At least I don’t have to worry about him stealing the stick from me – he’s really great at sharing like that.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

Sometimes I just love spending so much time with Minnow that I really don’t want to leave.

I secretly always hope that I get to have a sleepover with him, because mom doesn’t even notice me out in the pasture since I look just like all the other ponies. A boy can dream can’t he?

Weekend Snow

On Saturday we got our first snowfall of 2012 in Pennsylvania.

ammo the dachshund in the snow

I love the snow, but sometimes I’d just much rather stay in bed.

ammo the dachshund in the snow

The wind can sting your eyes, and….

ammo the dachshund in the snow

…when the snow freezes it can be quite difficult for little paws to trek around in.

ammo the dachshund in the snow

But, duty calls and I gotta dig deep and just keep going…..

ammo the dachshund in the snow

…because there are certain ponies that don’t take “snow days”…..

ammo the dachshund in the snow

….and become quite angry when they don’t get their morning hay.

ammo the dachshund in the snow

I don’t complain much about leaving my warm bed on snow days though….

ammo the dachshund in the snow

….because after all, someone has to make sure all the necessary “scents” are still in their designated place after a blanketing of new fallen snow.

Robot Ponies

ammo the dachshund with the horse dentist

Yesterday on the farm a man with a big bucket full of tools showed up.

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

Me and Trooper weren’t quite sure what was going on, but mom said it was the horse dentist for the ponies.

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

That story added up fine while Minnow had his teeth brushed by an uncomfortable looking metal pole.

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

But then he was fastened with a strange and scary looking face mask – which led me to conclude that they were turning Minnow into a robot!

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

This sounded way cool to me, I was actually quite excited to have a robot as a friend – Trooper on the other hand was a bit nervous.

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

Yes, a robot pony was the coolest thing ever I decided.

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

So I started helping the man by handing him his tools so that my robot pony could be ready faster.

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

Trooper was insistent in his worrying though, “But Ammo, what if robot ponies eat little wiener dogs for breakfast?”

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

Not being one to take the eating of wiener dogs lightly, Me and Trooper later asked Minnow if he would eat us – were he in fact a robot pony now.

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

Minnow assured us that he would not, and that he wasn’t a robot pony, but one can never be too careful – so we’ve taken to watching Minnow out of the corner of our eyes. Just in case.

ammo the dachshund and the horse dentist

And for now, Trooper is very relieved that he is the only one that will be eating any wiener dogs for breakfast.

Lumber Jack

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Ammo

When I arrived at the farm yesterday there was a surprise waiting for me.

ammo the dachshund lumber jack

A Lumber Jack had come and chopped down lots of trees.

At first I was sad because I was worried about where all my squirrel friends would go, but mom assured me that with 20 acres of trees on the farm there would be plenty of other places for them to live – and the trees had to be taken down to make room for Trooper’s new house!

ammo the dachshund lumber jack

Trooper’s new house you say?

ammo the dachshund lumber jack

Well then I better get busy finding the perfect spot to build me and Trooper’s wrestle room. It’s gotta be big enough to fit bunk beds and a trampoline!

I’ve announced the winner of my 2012 Calendar, click here to see if it’s you!

Muddy Buddies

Posted on December 1, 2011 by Ammo

Last night when I was hanging out on the farm I decided that the ponies were looking a bit dusty. With all the rain we had on Tuesday the ponies had taken it upon themselves to roll like little piggies in all the mud puddles. I have to say I was a bit jealous I missed out on the fun.

ammo the dachshund brushing ponies

So, I did what any amazing farm dog would do, I decided to give my pony friends a good brushing.

ammo the dachshund brushing ponies

I readied my brush box with all the necessary tools.

ammo the dachshund brushing ponies

And I picked out the very best brushes for the job.

All was going well until Minnow reminded me that I don’t have hands, nor am I tall enough to reach much past the ponies’ knees. Sigh. You win this one minnow……. you win this one.

Where have all the furry animals gone?

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Ammo

As winter approaches on the farm, things can get a little desolate. The birds flew south for the winter and all my furry little farm friends are hibernating.
