Lazy Sunday

Posted on by

Every once in a while it’s pretty quiet around my house. “Lazy Sunday” is not usually a term that you hear when you live with me. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy basking in the sun as much as everyone else….but when there are adventures to be had, who has the time to sleep in?

In my dreams this is how I’m catered to everyday. Sunning every morning, accompanied by having your breakfast brought out to you. Don’t you wish everyday could be “Lazy Sunday”. Don’t worry….we’ll be back to our regular scheduled adventure postings soon. For now though, I’m off to enjoy my breakfast…..

oooh is breakfast ready?

I’ll have whatever your having

dang. just regular old kibble for me

Hiking, Biking, & Swimming

Posted on by

I’m a little behind on my adventures, I mean honestly, I have so many that sometimes I forget to write about them all on my blog! Crazy I know!

Well this adventure happened over Labor Day Weekend – almost 2 weeks ago! Gosh, I’m really behind. Anyway, my mom took me and Trooper (and my grandparents) to hike on a trail. Can you believe I’ve never been hiking! I guess my life has been so crazy busy that I forgot to ask my mom to take me.

Anyway, I had my first encounter with Bikes on the trail, and I even played fetch in the water with Trooper. I’m getting braver about swimming – pretty soon I’ll be swimming laps around the fishes. For now though, I’m taking it slow…..you know…..gotta work up to it. I’m only one! I’ve got plenty of time to learn!

Do you think someone will give me a ride? My little legs are tired

Me and Trooper smell dogs!

Sometimes when my mom’s truck is full to the brim with stuff I get to ride in the front seat. Oh glorious day, how sweet the front seat is! I get a window (that rolls down I might add), and I get to feel the wind in my face.

But….pretty soon my excitement fades, and I remember that car rides make me sleepy – and there seems to be no where to sleep in the front seat. I miss my fluffy car seat in the back….

Where I normally ride.

Sewing – Doggie Style

Posted on by

Lately my mom has been doing this thing called sewing. As far as I can tell she uses this noisy machine that attaches together tempting chew toys fabric into something that may or may not be useful. My mom said I could probably do a better job at sewing than she could, so I jumped at the chance to help. Turns out I never made it past the picking fabric stage – I think all the bright colors just distracted me.

Oh well, sewing has proven to be a great opportunity for me to catch up on my napping. I’ve got my paws crossed that mom will make me something useful one of these days.

What we making today?

Are we done sewing yet?

Bunting! Makes me want to throw a party and invite all my doggie friends!

Kung Fu Master

Posted on by

Yea, no biggie, I’ve just been training in my spare time to be a kung fu fighter. See according to mom and dad, these little flying menaces aren’t allowed in the house. So I’ve taken it upon myself to practice my high-flying fighting skills on them. Not trying to brag or anything, but I’ve caught a few. I expect to be getting my black belt pretty soon.

the trick is to time it just right….

…then snatch it out of the air!

mmmmm…tastes like chicken!

Helmet Upgrade

Posted on by

I wish this post was about me getting a stormtrooper helmet. I mean come on, how cool would that be!

No, instead – It’s embarrassing to admit – I have a flat head. Maybe not as bad as Frankenstein – but needless to say I could probably balance a few books on it. And just to clarify, having a flat head does not mean I have any less brains in there!

But since my head kinda falls short in the dome department, I’ve had a bit of trouble keeping my super awesome stunt helmet on my noggin. My mom had originally made a few adjustments on it for me – which worked just as well – but I thought it needed an upgrade. Lets just say my mom (in her haste to help keep my hat afloat) sewed the fabric upside down. And as much as I love my mom (love you mom), it just looked sloppy.

So after a few days of brainstorming with my mom, I give you the finished product! Thanks mom! You know I’d sew it myself if I had fingers.

Silly Buddy

I’m a pretty trendy guy. I wear a fashionable raincoat when it rains. I have a classy harness that I wear to work. I sleep on a dog bed* adorned with funky robots. I even have a super awesome stunt helmet and cape.

So when my mom said I could pick out a new collar, it came to no surprise that it had to be pretty awesome. I mean, I have a reputation to uphold. I’m not just going to wear any old thing around my neck.

Then I found it! The perfect collar! From a small online shop called Silly Buddy I chose the Maroon Sprout Collar. As much as I love my new little sprout collar, I can’t help but wish I had one of each of the designs from Silly Buddy. Maybe mom will let me get one for all 365 days of the year! I know, keep dreaming. At least I’ll be dreaming in my awesome new collar.

Ammo the Dachshund was not paid or compensated to write this post. He just thinks their collars are totally awesome!

Boxes for Doxies

Posted on by

I know what boxes are for. Boxes contain gifts. Gifts that may or may not be for little doxies like me. The only way to find out what’s inside boxes is to open them!

So behold, the largest box I’ve ever seen.

You can bet I wanted to rip that sucker open to see if there might be millions billions of bones for me.

Imagine my surprise when all that came out of that danged box was a coffee table. I was sooo excited. Not! At least the cleanup proved to be fun.

Apparently the item in the box is a "look but don't touch" piece. No fun for little doxies like me!

Dog Snatcher

Posted on by

I almost got snatched out of my yard the other day. No joke.

I don’t know what it is that tried to snatch me, but it looks like this:
turkey vultureoriginal source unknown 

 

It swoops out of the sky and snatches up little weenies like me. I’m not stupid, when I saw that creature coming for me I cried like a baby and banged on the door until mom came running to let me inside.

Once I was safe inside my big glass dog house I let them have it. Pretty much I told them who’s boss, I don’t think they’ll be coming back anytime soon.

go on….get outta here!
