Letting it All Out

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Ammo

Did you ever have one of those days where you just want to scream at the top of your lungs out of frustration? Well I had one of those days yesterday.

See, what I thought would be a nice little day off at home turned into an unexpected (on my part apparently) visit to the vet to get my lyme vaccine shot, nails trimmed, and my butt cleaned. Yea, not really what I wanted to be doing.

When I got home from my little excursion I was just grumpy. Grumpy from being poked and proded, and all I wanted to do was yell really really loud. Only dogs can’t yell.

So instead, mom let me do the next best thing. She let me shred one of her magazines.

It might not look very exciting to you, but you know what, when I was all done ripping that thing to bits I felt way better!

P.S. Don’t worry, I recycled all the pages afterwards, because I’m responsible like that.

My New Office

Posted on January 31, 2012 by Ammo

Being a Blogger (and facebook celebrity) pretty much means that I spend a lot of time locked in my office writing away. Only up until recently my blogging space wasn’t really up to my amazing design standards. So after some begging and pleading, and a few sad puppy faces, Mom and Dad agreed to give my office a makeover.

Welcome to my new office, won’t you join me for the tour?

Fabulous right? The best parts are in the details, because it’s quite obvious that my personal style (and overall good looks) have taken over the space completely….

A is for Ammo and everything that is awesome!

My Reserve Champ ribbon from the Keystone Dachshund Races last year proudly hangs on my cork board along with my favorite photo of me and Minnow the Chincoteague Pony.

Everything about my new office is happy and bright….just like me!

At the end of the day, the most important thing is the function – and after taking it for a test spin, my new office passes the Ammo the Dachshund standards test.

Suddenly I’m inspired to be way more creative – building more rocket packs, digging more holes, and painting more pictures.

There’s adventures to be had right outside my window!

Just as soon as I finish my afternoon nap!

Not a Morning Dog

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Ammo

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a morning dog.

I don’t wake up at 5am and demand to be fed my breakfast….no, I sleep until someone tells me it’s time to get up.

Usually I’m awakened by the sound of kibble being poured into my bowl in the kitchen, because really, who can resist that sound?

Eventually I mosey into the kitchen and eat – but unlike you might think, I don’t go outside for a morning romp – instead I find a new comfy spot to sleep.

Despite the fact that mom says we have to be at work in an hour, I just can’t muster the energy to get my day started.

So instead I happily snooze my morning away until I’m forced to go outside for a potty break or mom carries me to the car for our ride to the shop or the farm.

I may not be a morning dog, but if you had as many adventures as I do you might be a little less willing to get out of bed in the morning too.
