Finally! Yesterday I got to have a true Snow Day! Which means I didn’t have to go to work, and I got to spend the day playing with my family in the snow.
This was Baby P’s first big snow, and I was so excited to show her exactly what to do on a snow day.
We make snow angels on Snow Days.
And we go sledding on Snow Days.
And we curl up on the couch and wait for mom to make us a warm beverage on snow days!
What do you do on snow days? 
With Spring just around the corner (it’s in the 70’s today…that’s crazy!) I realized I better get to work creating my Spring To-Do List. Because there is soooo much to do to be ready for Spring.
Ammo’s Spring To-Do List:
#1: Get dirt for mom’s vegetable garden. I never pass up the opportunity to play in a big pile of dirt. Bonus if its from the mushroom farm, because then I know it’s extra stinky.
#2: Help Dad rebuild the ramp to my shed. Which basically means that I get to take some more trips to my favorite hardware store…yippee!
#3: Help mom pick out plants for the vegetable garden. This time I’m hoping she plants corn, because that’s my favorite!
#4: Locate all the new critter holes around my home, so I’ll know just where to dig when the warm weather hits.
#5: Help out with maintenance around the farm. (Also know as digging holes for fence posts)
#6: Widen all the openings to the ground hog holes on the farm (after hibernation I’m sure those ground hogs are gonna be extra fat and extra stuck)
#7: Roll in the stinkiest stuff I can find. Because when Spring hits I want to be able to blend right into my surroundings.
#8: Scratch my back in the grass. It’s just not the same in the winter!
#9: Take a nap outside WITHOUT a coat on!
#10: Rub my after-bath fur all over the house. Because after all those dirt related things I’m sure mom is going to make me take a bath!
What sort of things are on your Spring To-Do List this year?
I like to think I’m a pretty fit dog. I mean I exercise regularly, I try to eat a healthy meal (aside from that 1/2 a hoagie I stole off the dining room table the other day….but that hardly counts), and I’m always ready for fun adventures!
So when I recently caught sight of the TV show, American Ninja Warrior, I was totally hooked! I mean I could EASILY get through those tough obstacle courses.
Half the battle is having flair anyway, and I totally have that covered!
Unfortunately American Ninja Warrior doesn’t accept dog submissions. But, that wasn’t going to stop me from having a little fun of my own, because I invented AMERICAN BARN WARRIOR….
Just as challenging, and with equal amounts of flair, American Barn Warrior is going to be the next big thing.
Hay Bale obstacles, trenches, and perhaps a horse or two….it’s not for the faint of heart (or those of you who didn’t eat your wheaties today!).
So what do you think, are you up for the challenge? Do you think you could master my American Barn Warrior Challenge?
Hitch up my sleigh! Because Santa is taking a little too long to get here, so I’m taking matters into my own hands!
Baby P and I are going to take a little blogging break to enjoy some time with family until after the new year. Don’t worry, we’ll be back to share all the fun we had!
Before I head off on some holiday fun with my family, I wanted to say Thank You! Thank you for reading my blog, leaving me comments (which I do read all of them), and sharing in the love of all my fun. I never thought that 6 years later I would still be writing this blog for all of you! It’s been a wild adventure, and I’m glad you’ve been here to share in all of it.
Here’s to 2017! Yippee!
A few weekends ago I took Baby P on a very special outing. I took her to her very first Christmas parade!
The real reason I’m always in attendance of my town’s holiday parade is to entertain the customers at our shop. I always do a pretty good job of that (nobody’s better than me at playing dead), and this year Baby P even helped me out by squealing and dancing for all the visitors too (only my camera crew missed catching that, shame on them). It was nice to have a little extra help, entertaining customers is hard work!
But after our duties at the shop (and more than a few diaper changes for Baby P), we hit the streets to watch the parade.
Fire trucks and flashing lights are always a favorite for me and now my sister too, but the music really gets us in the Christmas mood!
I was super excited to see some fellow low riders in the parade! Although I’m pretty sure I totally had them out dressed!
Baby P though, she got to wave to Santa! I admit, I was a bit jealous, but then I remembered that I’ve had 8 years of Santa visiting my house just for me, so I felt a little better about sharing Santa with my sister this year. Overall we had a blast at the Holiday Parade this year, and I can’t wait until next year when my sister will be running around at it with me!
Only 3 more sleeps until I get to see what Santa brings me under the tree! I can’t wait!
Does your town have a holiday parade?

And now it’s time for my November adventures…
I shared my secret to having lots of adventures with my family.
I shared all the fun I had carving pumpkins with my sister.
I got my sleep on again this month.
I shared how I’m documenting my sister’s growth each month.
I took my sister to one of my favorite stores.
I hit the trail and went off on a hike.
I got myself into some dirty business on the farm.
I set off on an adventure for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
I shared my cool new leash from HUND Denmark, and my giveaway with them is still going on!
Baby P and I shared what we are hoping ends up in Santa’s sleigh!
And that brings us to December! Time for warm blankets and snuggling up on the couch with mom and dad!
What was your favorite adventure of mine this month?
Holy Cow. You’re never gonna guess what showed up on the farm the other day. My eyes caught sight of it, and I could just hardly contain my excitement. It was….
….a GIANT, fantastic, amazing pile of screenings!
Of course I wasted no time at all getting ALL UP IN IT, because there really is only one thing you can do when a big pile of screenings shows up at your doorstep….
…Conquer that mountain like nobody’s business.
Well and maybe dig a hole or two as well…
What would your dog do with a big pile of screenings?
Back in September I went on a very important adventure with my sister that I forgot to share. How could I forget? We went to Petco!
It’s arguably one of the most important trips in a young baby’s life. I mean how else is she going to know where to shop for me?
While I was there I even got to pick out a FREE pound of cookies thanks to the Birthday club. I never say no to cookies. And lucky for me my sister doesn’t eat cookies, so I didn’t even have to share.
Now sister, we are going to go through every square inch of this store while I explain to you which are the best treats & toys. It’s going to take a while, but be oh-so-worth it for your education. You can thank me when you’re older.
What do you think my sister will get me for Christmas?
P.S. If you’re wondering more about the food I’ve picked up at the store, read all about my favorite toys, treats, food & more on my gear page.
Ok, so I know Halloween is over and it’s now November, but I just had to share one final “October” adventure that I just know you’ll love.
See just before Halloween my mom and dad found this new orchard near my house that is super dog friendly! Because surprisingly most orchards in my area don’t allow pets, which is very odd to me.
*side note – I always call ahead when planning an adventure to find out if I’m allowed to accompany my family. You’d be surprised how pet friendly some places can be if you just ask first!
So I was thrilled to find out that I was allowed to accompany my family into the fields to pick out our pumpkins this year.
Next year I’m totally going to pick apples with my sister too! I’m just waiting for her to get a little taller so I can get a boost up in that tree!
Picking out pumpkins for everyone in the family wasn’t enough, because when it’s Halloween you have to carve them!
But since my sister is too little, and I have paws, that left mom and dad to do the dirty work. Don’t worry, I barked directions at them the whole time.
A short while later we had 4 pumpkins ready and waiting to be lit for Halloween night!
Granted they may not have been quite as elaborate as years past, but when you’re trying to squeeze in some pumpkin carving while your sister naps it’s about as good as it gets.
Happy Belated Haunting Everyone!
Which one of my pumpkins is your favorite?
October marked my official swing back into blogging after I took a little break when my sister was born. Don’t worry though, I wasted no time in getting off to some grand adventures.
Before we get to my adventures though, let me give a shoutout to my special sponsors & affiliates! Thanks to them I’m able to bring you exciting posts, so make sure you give them some love and check out what great products they carry!
