Happy New Dachshund Art!

Hey pals! I’m inviting you back into my home office again today, because ever since it got a design upgrade a few months ago – I’ve been slowly adding to my art collection on the walls, and today I wanted to share with you my newest addition!

See all the happy wall of art above my desk? Can you spot the newest addition to my collection?

It’s a new happy little Dachshund print from Yellow Brick Home that my mom helped me custom frame at the shop!

Kinda reminds you of someone, right?

Now, if you’ll excuse me – I’ve got to get back to work, these papers won’t file themselves!

 

You can fetch your own Dachshund prints from Yellow Brick Home in their Etsy Shop! Yay!

2012 Pa Horse World Expo – with Ammo

Attending the 2012 Pa Horse World Expo with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony was a new experience for both of us.

And for anyone who stopped by our booth – you may have thought I did a lot of this….

…and this.

But, in reality it was exhausting being the front man for Minnow – and drawing in the crowds.

This cute mug isn’t just for looking pretty – it’s for creating a crowd.

Although, my pal Minnow seems to be pretty good at that too. 🙂

Unpacking

My Monday post is a tad later today than normal, because I’ve been busy helping Mom unpack from the Horse Expo.

Honestly, I’m surprised there was even room for me in the car this trip, because apparently ponies don’t know how to pack light.

I promise to have a full recap of my Expo experience just as soon as I can dig myself out of the car! And if you just can’t wait any longer, you can check out my Facebook page for some photos from my exciting trip.

P.S. I’m slightly worried I may have left my favorite bone under the bed in the hotel – so keep your paws crossed that it turns up somewhere!

Friday Fetch: Valentine Round-up

It’s almost Valentine’s Day! And that means you should be spending every single second scouring for the PERFECT gift for your 4-legged friends. And if you haven’t been, well shame on you, but not to worry – I did a little searching for you and come up with some great gifts for your special little furry Valentine!

My New Office

Being a Blogger (and facebook celebrity) pretty much means that I spend a lot of time locked in my office writing away. Only up until recently my blogging space wasn’t really up to my amazing design standards. So after some begging and pleading, and a few sad puppy faces, Mom and Dad agreed to give my office a makeover.

Welcome to my new office, won’t you join me for the tour?

Fabulous right? The best parts are in the details, because it’s quite obvious that my personal style (and overall good looks) have taken over the space completely….

A is for Ammo and everything that is awesome!

My Reserve Champ ribbon from the Keystone Dachshund Races last year proudly hangs on my cork board along with my favorite photo of me and Minnow the Chincoteague Pony.

Everything about my new office is happy and bright….just like me!

At the end of the day, the most important thing is the function – and after taking it for a test spin, my new office passes the Ammo the Dachshund standards test.

Suddenly I’m inspired to be way more creative – building more rocket packs, digging more holes, and painting more pictures.

There’s adventures to be had right outside my window!

Paint me a Picture

I’m having sort of a lazy day today. It’s raining outside and pretty much I don’t feel like doing anything. So in my rainy day boredom I decided to share some photos of my favorite pet artists – because whats better to get you motivated than an inspiring piece of art! And after all I am an art-loving pooch (I paint my own fantastic portraits, live with a bunch of painting ponies & work in a frame shop). So without further adieu, here’s some Thursday afternoon artistic inspiration for you….

Monsters Under the Bed

Oh hey, did you come to have a slumber party with me?

ammo the dachshund monsters under the bed

There’s plenty of room for everyone on my new bed.

But wait, did you hear that?

I should have known this would happen. Every time I try to have a slumber party the monster under my bed complains about not being invited.

ammo the dachshund monsters under the bed

Oh monster, you’re so gonna get it.

ammo the dachshund monsters under the bed

I hear you down there, and you’re not gonna like it if I have to come down there.

Sigh. Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and invite the monster to your slumber party if you ever want to get any shut eye.

Pa Horse World Expo

minnow the painting pony

It’s no secret that my pal Minnow, The Painting Pony, will be attending the PA Horse World Expo at the end of February. This is one of the largest Horse Expos in the country and Minnow is going to be right smack dab in the middle of the expo floor to meet his fans and paint amazing pictures.

Not being one to be left behind often, I too will be making an appearance at the Expo this year. I’m going to try not to steal the show from Minnow, put my amazing super hero stunts and my stunning good looks cannot always be helped.

So if you are in the Harrisburg, PA area February 23 – 26th be sure to come visit me at booth #607 & 608 at the Pa Horse World Expo. I’ll try to make sure I take my mid-day nap before you come!

Messy Paws

Yesterday on the farm mom decided to bring the ponies’ paints out of storage for a little winter painting.

As you can see, they made quite the mess.

A mess that I somehow got suckered into cleaning up.

And my lovely assistant was absolutely no help at all!

Happy New Year!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s 2012 already! This year I decided to celebrate the incoming new year with a bang. And what better way to do that than with a PARTY!

I was the best dressed of course, but aren’t I always?
