Vintage

Something about “retro” photos make me think back to the days of my youth. Ah to be young again…..

Somehow you get away with so much more when you’re tiny….

Hard to imagine my pal Trooper was once as tiny as I was. Boy I wish I knew him then….wrestling matches would have been so much fairer. Trooper might have had a chance back then. 🙂

Dachshunds make Everything Sweeter!

It’s true, it really is.

I think that’s why this year mom’s Valentine’s Day present to dad was SUPER sweet. Mostly because it came in the form of a Dachshund!

I have to admit I’m a tad jealous. I wanted a Dachshund Valentine! Eh, who am I kidding – I’d much rather have a rawhide anyway – but it’s still super cool.

You can get your very own Message in a Doxie here – perfect to send all year long! I kinda want to get a whole bunch to send to all my favorite friends! Maybe then Cricket will forgive me for not getting her a Valentine’s Day Present.

Sigh. I guess I’ll have to start saving up my pennies again. Good thing I have that Dachshund Bank!

Valentine’s Day Love

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends out there! And just in case no one’s told you yet today….

It’s true.

You might be wondering why I’m dressed up in my Artist gear. Well, it’s because over the weekend I was very busy making a very special Valentine’s Day gift for my bestest pal, Trooper.

Just don’t mention this to my girlfriend Cricket, I sorta forgot to get her something! Shhh!

Anyway, here’s what I gave Trooper for V-day…

I made a portrait of him! I think it looks just like him, don’t you? And just in case you forgot to get someone a Valentine’s Day present too, I can make a custom pet portrait for you too!

Kisses from your pal, Ammo.

Upgraded

Mom was a little bit behind the times – in regards to her phoning capabilities.

I may have had a little something to do with those “scratches” on mom’s phone. In my defense, flip phones are extremely hard to navigate when you have paws!

And forget about texting….it was nearly impossible for me to accomplish! Thankfully it was time for an upgrade, via the iPhone 4! Yipee!

Mom said she’d show me how to use it for twitter, facebooking, checking my e-mail, posting artwork in my shop, and updating my blog. I can’t wait! Perhaps I should wear gloves this time though….just to be safe.

My sunny spot

After waiting for months and months mom and dad FINALLY moved some furniture into my favorite spot in the house for me!

The sunroom!

If you can’t tell, I’m in total Dog Heaven!

With a 360 Degree view of the great outdoors via the windows, and a perch to call my own…..seriously, this is the life!

Now if someone could just open the doggie door for me, I’ll have all the necessities. Well some kibble would be nice too!

Puppy Bowl Time!

Grab your favorite toy boys and girls….

…and a spot on the couch….

….because it’s Puppy Bowl Time!

“Don’t disturb me mom, while I’m watching my programs!”

Way better than the Super Bowl, I’ll tell you that!

February Love

It’s February, and you know what that means? It means that I get Valentines! (and treats, and hugs, and kisses). Ok honestly, I should be getting that stuff all the time…February 14th or not.

But I digress.

Since it is the month of LOVE, I decided to play a little dress up.

And who better to dress up as during February than Cupid? Well actually I wanted to be a box of chocolates, but mom said that was a little too tempting.

And since I couldn’t let my stunning model poses go to waste, I decided to make my very own Valentine’s with them!

You can send your very own Ammo the Dachshund Valentine’s Day greeting too! Visit my online shop to see my collection of cards!

And a special treat for all my blog friends….

2011 Snowstorm

On Thursday I woke up to 16 inches of fluffy white stuff!

I know….fabulous right?

Mom and Dad didn’t think it was so fabulous….especially since the snow blower broke! (and a couple of snow shovels in the process of digging out). But at least we all got a snow day!

I of course made the most of my snow day.

What’s a snow day without a couple of backyard tunnels anyway?
