New Vegetable Garden

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

Every year I like to plant a vegetable garden. After last year’s winter my usual veggie spot was looking a bit sad. Nothing a little gardening re-model couldn’t fix though!

My handy Dad got to work right away with a new plan so mom and I don’t have to pull weeds anymore…woohoo! Mom of course had to sit this one out, since apparently heavy lifting is frowned upon when you’re growing a baby.

Eventually (thanks to dad’s hard work) my new garden boxes started to take shape and it was time to get the dirt! (my favorite part)

I tagged along to help mom and dad pick up garden soil so my plants could grow big and strong.

While dad shoveled all the dirt into the garden boxes I stood guard to make sure no critters got in the way of our hard work. It’s pretty much a full time job.

The soil went in and I could hardly wait to get my plants into the ground. I’ve been saving bits of kibble all year to plant my kibble tree!

With soil in the boxes the garden was looking mostly finished….now it was time to plant!

After mom picked up some plant starts at the store I helped put everything into the boxes. Now all we have to do is wait for them to grow big and strong, and keep the critters from eating them! Don’t worry though, I know just the dog for the job!

My New Adventure as a Big Brother

Posted on by

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Over the weekend mom and I arrived at the farm to find a celebration! Mom said it was a baby shower for my soon-to-be little sister, although the way I saw it was a celebration of me becoming a big brother!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

It was the perfect combination of ponies….

….and food! (My favorite).

Of course it wouldn’t have been a celebration if I didn’t break of my bowtie! The brother-to-be always has to look his best.

Even though my buddy Minnow was just outside in the pasture, we certainly had to include him in the festivities too. So he was inside in spirit for a pin-the-baby-on-the-pony game.

Eventually it was time for my favorite part of the day! Opening presents!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I’m an expert at gift unwrapping and I was super excited to see what all my friends and family brought to celebrate my “becoming a big brother”.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

There were lots of sweet dachshund (and pony) related gifts that were opened but I was starting to realize why mom said it was a “baby shower”.

Eventually Trooper and I started to loose interest in the baby gear so I decided to checkout what fun games there might be for me to play instead.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I was in luck, because not only was there was a stinky inspired game just for me, but it also included candy bars in a “guess which candy bar/dirty diaper game”. I may or may not have gotten in big trouble for trying to steal one of them! 😉

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I sulked for a bit about not being involved as much as I would have liked in this “baby shower”, but mom told me not to worry…

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

…for she says soon I’ll have to test all the baby gear for my sister before she comes. And something tells me mom and dad will be practicing carrying me around in this baby carrier pretty soon!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

After the shower I helped gift all our special friends these cute little horse shoes to show how much I appreciated them coming to celebrate my little sister.

Mom, Dad, Minnow, Me and Boomerang (who just happened to be in another pasture for this picture) are super excited for my little sister to get here! I can’t wait to show her where all the groundhog holes are on the farm, she’s going to love it!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Do you include your dog in family gatherings and parties?

Taste of Adventure

Taste of Adventure

Sometimes I get a taste of adventure and it’s pretty much all I need to send me into a full blown meltdown when mom won’t let me off the leash to investigate further.

 

In this case that “taste” consisted of me physically biting a wild animal in the woods. What can I say, I like to live life on the edge! Adventure Awaits my friends!

When my new friends over at DOOG sent me one of their Walkie Bags to test out, at first I was a bit perplexed.

I mean, it’s not exactly sized for my short stature, and I wasn’t even exactly sure how I was supposed to wear it?

Live to Stink

Posted on by

Dirty Dog Gets Caught

Sometimes after a successful day of “stink” hunting on the farm I can’t help but feel super proud of myself for the most recent rich potent smell I found. I mean it’s a real art to find the best spot to roll in.

Dirty Dog Gets Caught

After inevitably tracking me down with my GPS tracker (thanks for ratting me out Trax!*), mom never quite appreciates my most recent stink-capades. It’s only a matter of minutes before she utters those words…..B..A..T..H.
