Have some Cake and eat it Too!

ammo the dachshund's nose

This is my nose, it’s super good at smelling things.

And it’s because of my nose that I ended up in the ponies’ paddock the other day.

Now I know what you’re thinking……it’s not a real Birthday cake. Yes, I was a little disappointed too, but my nose didn’t bring me here because I smelled Birthday cake.

No, I smelled something different, something better.

It’s called poly-fill! And just because it’s not a real cake, doesn’t mean it’s any less fun to ~~eat~~ destroy.

Seriously, I don’t know what I’d do without my nose!

Motorcylce Mama

This is Annie and her Dad. I met Annie on Sunday at the 4 Dogs Tavern while I was there grabbing some dinner with my mom and dad. Now normally I consider myself a pretty tough guy, but Annie, well she’s even tougher.

See this is Annie’s motorcycle! She has a special seat in the back and has her very own pink helmet and goggles. I was too embarrassed to tell Annie that I have a helmet too – except I use mine to play Super Heroes.

Not too cool when you’re trying to pick up chicks – well unless she’s a damsel in distress, but that’s another story.

Well Annie, I hope we meet again, because you’re one hot motorcycle mama!

P.S. I ordered the bacon for dinner.

My New Bone

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Ammo

Yes, over the weekend my mom brought me home a brand new bone! I can’t even begin to tell you how long it’s been since I’ve had a bone. I think mom’s starting to feel guilty about leaving me home next week when she takes Minnow to Chincoteague Island for the annual Pony Penning. I’m not going to say the new bone makes up for this, because it doesn’t, but it is a good start.

Of course the first thing I did with my new bone was to try to take it outside for a good old fashioned burying. However, there was a little snag in my plan.

Sigh. I’m thinking things would have gone a lot smoother had I gotten out my Super Cape.

Summer Harvest

This is the apple tree that lives in my yard.

These are the apples that it grows for me.

This is the peach tree that lives in my yard.

These are the peaches that it grows for me.

These are my green peppers.

These are my tomatoes.

These are my cucumbers.

This is what the ground hog did to my cucumbers.

In my defense I was stuck behind my fence…or I WOULD have stopped him.

See, not my fault.

So, you might be wondering – with all of these great fruits & veggies in my yard – why I’m chewing on a stick? Well, it’s because fruits & veggies are YUCK! That’s why.

Water Warrior

I bet you thought the story ended with my boat ride on Tuesday afternoon at Marsh Creek State Park. Well that would be false, because after I left the docks – I had something else in mind.

Swimming!

I had fun practicing my dolphin swimming.

And then I played a game of fetch with Dad.

Which pretty quickly escalated into a game of chase.

Catch me if you can, sucker!

Sea Legs

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Ammo

Slowly but surely I’m earning my sea legs. You might remember I went on a boat outing a few months ago up in the Poconos. Well yesterday I went on another boat outing at Marsh Creek State Park.

On a 90+ degree day, it was the perfect weather to spend on the lake.

I have to admit I was so excited I did a little yelling. How can you not, when you’re on the open water!?

We did have a little “man overboard” incident…

I know what this looks like, but I swear I didn’t push him!

Dad probably should have been wearing his life vest.

Well, I’ve pretty much mastered this boating thing. Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy! I think next time I might try my ~~hand~~ paw at windsurfing!

Extra Vacation

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Ammo

I know yesterday was the 4th of July, but, well, I’m taking an extra day of vacation. Please don’t tell my boss, I might get in trouble.

It’s kinda nice to just lounge around with my friends today.

Ahhhh, nothing like an extra day of sunning!

Happy 4th of July!

Yeah, Happy Birthday to the U.S. of A.! I’m waving my American flag proudly today and eating a few hot dogs or two. I hope you’re doing the same.

Unicorn Appreciation Day!

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Ammo

Remember how my friend Baxter the Dachshund told me that Wednesday was Unicorn Appreciation Day? And remember how I set out to catch my own Unicorn with some glitter? Well, now that it’s Wednesday, I bet you are all wondering if I was able to catch my Unicorn friend?

I had to wait a really really really long time with my glitter bait.

Even Cricket got bored of waiting – she thought maybe if she played dead the Unicorn would come to save her. It didn’t work out like she planned (don’t worry, she didn’t really die).

But then, after waiting for DAYS, I heard something off in the distance.

“Are you my Unicorn?” – Me

“Why yes, I came because I smelled your glitter” – Unicorn

“But how do I know you are a Unicorn” – Me

And then I looked up and it was GLORIOUS!

My Unicorn had come at last, and he was more spectacular than I imagined!

I gave him lots and lots of kisses and told him I was happy he came to the Unicorn Appreciation Day. I wished he could stay forever, but he said he had to get back to the magical forest.

Although he did leave some magical Unicorn poop behind for me as a souvenir. I’m soooo lucky!
