Hooray! My 2014 Holiday Card has made it’s way to my online shop along with all my other designs from years past.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

This year I decided to do my own rendition of the classic Christmas song, Jingle Bells.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

Why don’t you sing along with me,

Dashing through the snow
In a one-dog wooden sled
O’er the fields we go
Barking all the way
Bells on collars ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and bark
At all the neighbors tonight!

Happy Holidays!

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

Now I’m sure you probably think I’m a total pro behind the camera (which yea, I sort of am), but it actually takes me quite a few tries to get that one perfect shot for my holiday card every year. And as I’m sure every super model has outtakes just like me, I thought it would be fun to share a few of mine….

Olga’s 90th Birthday

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

For the second time this year I was invited to a very special lady’s 90th Birthday Party!

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

My dear friend Olga is one of my favorite customers at my shop, and without fail she always brings me a bag of cookies (and lots of sweet kisses) every time she visits.

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

So I was so very excited when I was invited to Olga’s Surprise 90th Birthday Party with all of her friends and family.

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

Now one thing to know about my friend Olga is that she’s one of the biggest dog (and pony) lovers there ever was. And over the years she has accumulated a lot of furry friends – including my pal Minnow who she met at one of his very first public appearances ever!

Olga even had her pony friend Rainy come to visit her!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Mimi Green.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my new friends at Mimi Green sent me one of their Laser Engraved Buckle Collars to test out.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With a hole slew of collar patterns, colors, and styles I almost couldn’t decide which one I would like to wear. That is until I spotted this lovely velvet teal color (aka the Zack Collar) and I just knew it would be perfect!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Laser Engraved buckle is a plastic/metal hybrid which is great for dogs of all sizes, but especially smaller breeds because it makes the collar weigh less than a full metal buckle.

And if you’re someone that can’t stand the sound of jingle jangle id tags as your dog runs around the house, you can always forgo them if you like since your dog’s identification is right on the collar!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

While a velvet collar is probably not optimal on the farm (as it may collect a little too much “farm”), I just couldn’t help but take my new Mimi Green Collar for a fun farm photoshoot.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The pretty teal color just popped out there! And their velvet collars also come in lots of other fun colors.

Post Turkey Hangover

Thanksgiving may have been last week, but that doesn’t mean I’ve recovered from it just yet! Here’s just how I celebrated this year…

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

I kicked off my Thanksgiving with a trip to the farm – and as you can see I had snow on Turkey Day!

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

As lovely as I find the snow, I was thankful that Trooper’s new house has heat – because I was looking forward to being warm!

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper spent most of the Thanksgiving morning doing this – I suspect he just didn’t want to share his new Puller toys with me….but that’s ok, I’m still thankful for my best friend – even if he doesn’t like to share!

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

Eventually Trooper stepped away from his Puller hoarding to share some Canidae cookies with me, YUM!

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

And I had an obligatory Thanksgiving potty break. 🙂

Now even though we didn’t have a Thanksgiving meal at Trooper’s new house (as there is still lots of construction to be done), that didn’t stop me from hanging around in the kitchen.

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

Because regardless of wether there is food or not, the kitchen is where you’re supposed to be on Thanksgiving day!

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

Before I knew it though it was time to wave goodbye to my ponies and head off on my next Thanksgiving adventure.

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

At Mom Mom & Pop Pop’s house I started where I had left off at the farm….hanging around the kitchen.

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

Only this time there was an actual turkey!

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

Thanksgiving should be renamed “Torture Dogs with a Big Plate of Meat Day”, because it is TORTURE!

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

And even though I didn’t get to have more than a bite or two of turkey, I did get to enjoy my own feast complete with doggie stew that came with my Barkbox this month!

Post Turkey Hangover // Thanksgiving // Ammo the Dachshund

It comes at no surprise that my post turkey day self looked like this. But boy was it a good day with my family! Ammo the Dachshund
