A Dog’s First Day of School

Posted on August 28, 2015 by Ammo

Rumor has it the first day of school is just around the corner.

Since I’ve never been to school (well technically I did visit a couple of elementary schools, one time my pony came too!), I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

So I put on my bestest school outfit and my reading glasses. Packed my lunch and filled my backpack with all my important school supplies (like cookies and toys).

Since I’ve never ridden the school bus before (aside from that time I went to the goat races, oh yea and the Fair Hill International Event), I decided to park myself outside my house and wait for it to come pick me up for my very first day.

All that waiting for the school bus was starting to make me hungry, and my lunch was starting to look pretty darn good.

And you know what, waiting for the school bus isn’t all that interesting. In fact, it’s kinda boring.

After I waited for about an hour, mom reminded me that school didn’t actually start until NEXT WEEK, and I still had an entire weekend of SUMMER BREAK!

Thank goodness!!! Because Summer was starting to sound a lot more fun than going to school anyway.

And it’s a good thing school wasn’t starting yet anyway, because I wouldn’t have had any lunch left!

HAPPY ALMOST FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL EVERYONE!

Weekend Update – Big Kitchen Renovation

Posted on August 26, 2015 by Ammo

I know you’re all on the edge of your seats waiting to see how my big kitchen renovation is going….I know I certainly am! Things are moving along at my house. Nothing fast. Nothing overnight. But thus is the reality when your parents DIY 80% of it! It’s a lot of waiting around (on my part at least), and watching crew come and go. I can see the end in sight though, and last week my new cabinets arrived, how exciting! I gotta give a big shout out to my new friend John who did an awesome job making sure my new dog food storage boxes were installed properly. Boy am I gonna be able to fit a ton of dog food in my new kitchen. And when this is all over…..I think I might need a vacation! Until then, enjoy this sneak peek into my life as kitchen renovation inspector! xoxo,

Weekend Kitchen Renovation Update with Ammo the Dachshund

P.S. There may have been a few play time breaks thrown in there for good measure!

How was your weekend?

Work Weekend

Posted on August 11, 2015 by Ammo

Adventures around my house have been pretty light lately while mom and dad are busy working on my new kitchen. If all goes well, by the end of next week I should have my food bowls back where they belong, in the kitchen!

Working Weekend - Ammo the Dachshund gets a new Kitchen

From electrical work, plumbing, drywall, spackling & painting – my mom and dad are doing it all (with a little help from our friends at Lowes on the new flooring). As much as I hate that this weekend work is cutting into my adventure time, mom says with all the money we are saving by doing it ourselves – there will be so many more adventures we’ll be able to go on!

That does sound pretty good to me. What sort of home renovations has your dog lived through?

Pet Friendly Kitchen Renovation

You might remember that for the past several years I’ve been helping my mom and dad “kitchen shop”. Oh yes, for year’s I’ve been shopping appliances, building pantries and more, but the time has finally come to demolish my old kitchen for good!
