Ponies, Dogs, and Movie Stars, Oh My!

Posted on by

You might remember that back in July the Painting Ponies and I began filming for the a brand new Painting Pony DVD. And while my Uncle Taylor still has lots of editing to do before we can release our big Trick Performances DVD, I just couldn’t wait any longer to share our new Intro Video for the website.

I know you are all on the edge of your seats in anticipation, so without dragging it out any longer, here it is in all it’s glory….

And to answer your question, yes, I did most of my scenes in the nude. You’re welcome. *wink*

Sweet Hole-digging Heaven!

Posted on by

Oh sweet glorious day! You’ll never guess what showed up on the farm!

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

You are gonna pee your pants in excitement, just like I did!

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

It’s a backhoe!! As in, ground hogs watch out, I’ve hit the hole-digging jackpot.

I’m totally serious when I say this (just look at my face), this is like the greatest day ever!

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

Only one problem, I can’t find the keys.

I asked mom for the keys, but she said that I wasn’t allowed to operate heavy machinery without my helmet – not to mention that the backhoe was for building Trooper’s new house, not for digging groundhog hunting holes. I tried to reason with her that Trooper would be thankful I used the backhoe to rid his future home-site of those pesky critters, but it was no use.

So it’s off to plan B. Does anyone know how to hot wire a backhoe? Ammo the Dachshund

Quiet Days on the Farm

Posted on by

Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.

Yes – it CAN BE quite peaceful. But other days, there are groundhogs to hunt!

Custom Pet Paintings – Ponies and Dogs Oh My!

Posted on by

You might remember a couple of months ago when I introduced my little Super Hero on the Wall – a commissioned painting of yours truly by Kim at Yellow Brick Home.

Well, as it turns out, my Painting Pony pals were a wee bit jealous – so never ones to be left out, mom ordered some custom paintings of them too.

Minnow rocked the blue canvas as he reared high into the air – such a classic Minnow pose.

Blitz and Boomerang, the inseparable brothers (who couldn’t even be separated for the painting), looked extra cute on their lime green canvas. Boomerang even flashed his famous smile.

I don’t know about you, but I think we make one big happy family!

I do have a secret to tell you though…….as much as I love ALL of the paintings…..I do have a favorite……can you guess which one it is? Ammo the Dachshund

 

You can get your own custom pet paintings from Kim @ Yellow Brick Home (make sure you tell her the cutest Super Hero EVER sent you!)


*I was not paid or perk’d to write this post – I’m just super super excited to share the ponies’ paintings!

Imagination Hat – The Return of Super Ammo

Posted on by

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. On tuesday I went to outer space, wednesday I went under the sea, thursday I went to Dinosaur Land and today I’m back on the moon as myself – Super Ammo!

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

I think out of all the places I’ve been this week the moon has been my favorite.

I love looking at the stars, and I even got to make a few wishes on the shooting ones.

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

I’m sure you can probably guess what I’ve been wising for – for my mom and Minnow to return home soon – because as much fun as I’ve been having with my imagination hat, I do still miss my real life adventures with mom and Minnow.

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

Dad says not to worry though, because they will be home TONIGHT!

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

I probably should prepare a welcome home party, or hang a banner, or bake a cake, but honestly I’m having way too much fun on the moon right now – and I’m pretty sure my wagging tail and kisses will be more than enough for a welcome home celebration! (I wag a mean tail).

I hope you all enjoyed coming along with me and my imagination hat – I had so much fun that I think I’ll definitely have to have some more adventures with it soon! Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat – Dinosaur Land

Posted on by

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. On tuesday I went to outer space, yesterday I went under the sea and today I’m on a journey to Dinosaur Land!

Imagination Hat - Ammo the Dachshund - Dinosaur Land

I brought my binoculars with me, because I’m really hoping to see some Dinosaurs up close and personal!

Imagination Hat - Ammo the Dachshund - Dinosaur Land

Wouldn’t it be awesome if I saw a T-Rex? Did you know my mom and dad almost named me T-Rex (which is awesome by the way) on account of my stubby little arms.

Imagination Hat - Ammo the Dachshund - Dinosaur Land

I’m just as scary as a T-Rex too…just check out my ferocious growl! So don’t worry, should I happen upon any Dinosaurs I can totally hold my own! Ammo the Dachshund

 

Imagination Hat – Under the Sea

Posted on by

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. Yesterday I went to outer space and today I’m on a journey Under the Sea!

Imagination Hat - Ammo the Dachshund - Under the Sea

I made sure to pack my flippers, and it’s a good thing I’m an excellent swimmer because I’m deep deep under the sea.

Imagination Hat - Ammo the Dachshund - Under the Sea

I haven’t seen any sharks yet, but if you spot any I hope you’ll warn me!

Imagination Hat - Ammo the Dachshund - Under the Sea

Just to be safe I rolled in the stinkiest thing I could find before going Under the Sea – so that I’ll be extra un-enticing to any sharks that come along. I hope. Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat – Trip to Outer Space

Posted on by

Since Mom is away this week in Chincoteaugue, Virginia with Minnow the Painting Pony I’m having my own little adventure with my imagination hat.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat - Outerspace

I’m glad you decided to join me, because today I’m taking a trip into outer space!

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat - Outerspace

There are so many stars and planets up here – it’s really quite amazing.

Mom called last night to check on me, and suggested I pack a lunch and drink plenty of water during my trip to space. Jeeze mom, of course I wouldn’t forget to pack a lunch!

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat - Outerspace

I do miss my mom, but I am having a blast on the moon! I’m on the lookout for moon martians, because I’m in desperate need of a fetch playmate – it is a bit lonely up here. I’ll keep you posted should I find any. Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat

Posted on by

Today is the day that mom and my pal Minnow the Painting Pony left for Chincoteague Island, Virginia for a week. I’m very sad not to be going on this adventure with them – as it’s been an entire year since I’ve been away from my mom for more than a day.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

Last year when Mom and Minnow left for pony penning week I killed the time by building a super awesome fort in my basement.

This year I decided to try a little something different – since just because I’m stuck home alone all day while Dad is at work doesn’t mean I can’t still go on some adventures of my own.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

Enter my imagination hat! Hand-made by my pal Baxter’s Mom, I just know my imagination hat is going to take me on tons of adventures this week. (you can fetch your own imagination hat here)

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

I hope you’ll come along with me for the ride, because imagination adventures are always more fun when you have friends.

Hopefully by the time Minnow returns from pony penning I’ll have just as many adventures to share with him as he does with me! Ammo the Dachshund
