Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 6

Posted on February 13, 2017 by Ammo

I can hardly believe that it’s been 1/2 a year since Baby P was born! She’s growing up much too fast!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

While she’s now sitting up and eating real foods, and even attempting to crawl a little….there are some things that haven’t changed one bit…

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

…and that’s her love for her favorite puppy in the whole wide world, me! (She’s not even embarrassed to kiss me in front of the camera!) In fact she loves me so much that everytime she sees me I get greeted with a high pitched excited squeal. That or maybe she thinks my name is Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

We’re both already planning all of our Spring and Summer adventures…especially once she starts walking and I can show her all of my favorite groundhog holes. So much to do, so little time.

Happy 6 months Baby P! I’m so glad I get to be by your side while you grow up!

Bear-y Fun Adventures

Bear-y Fun Adventure

You might remember that not long ago I was anxiously awaiting my sister’s arrival. Even more so because my lovely friend Suzanne had made me and my sister some lovely crochet items.

Well the time has finally come, and my sister can wear them with me!!

Bear-y Fun Adventure

As you can see, Baby P was very excited that we were going to get to play DRESS UP. Something tells me there will be a lot of dress up games in my future.

Bear-y Fun Adventure

That’s ok though, because anything that makes Baby P smile this much is totally worth it!

Bear-y Fun Adventure

So from Cowgirls…

….to Goldilocks ….I’m ready for all of it!

Bear-y Fun Adventure

And if there is a “Best Dog of the Year Award”, I’m pretty sure I deserve it. I guess I’ll also accept belly rubs, cookies, and weekend hikes as recognition too. You’re welcome Baby P.

xoxo, Your big brother,

What do you think Baby P and I should dress up as next?

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

Posted on January 25, 2017 by Ammo

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

Ever since Baby P showed up at my house the toy situation has gotten a little confusing. As in, how am I supposed to tell the difference between a baby toy and dog toy? That’s where you come in!

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

Can you help me decipher which one of these fine toys are dog toys and which are baby toys?

I loose sleep over this. Did I chew on Baby P’s favorite stuffed animal or did I bury the correct ball in the back yard? It’s enough to make you crazy!

Once you’ve made your guesses scroll on down to the bottom of the page to see if you got it right…..

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

If you guessed these toys were dog toys, then you are right!

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

And if you guessed these toys were baby toys, then you are right!

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

I blame mostly the Barkshop*, because their toys are so super amazing that Baby P. wants to play with them too! (Use code AMMO for a super cool surprise at checkout)

Baby Toy (hedgehog* is from Amazon)

Dog Toy (Brownie the Happy Poo*)

Does your dog have any toys that could totally pass for baby toys?

Christmas Memories

Christmas Memories

Well, Christmas at my house came and went, and it was a fantastic whirlwind of wrapping paper, family and plenty of fun! And since I know you don’t want to feel like you missed the fun, I decided to share a recap of all my adventures.

Christmas Memories

This year of course was extra special because I got to share my Christmas morning with my new little sister, Baby P.

Christmas Memories

I helped her open all her presents from Santa, and explained to her why we aren’t supposed to be super excited when we get socks in our stocking. (although I’m pretty sure that lecture when right over her head!)

Christmas Memories

And then I helped Baby P open a very interesting present….

Christmas Memories

….it was another me!!!

I wasn’t really sure how I felt about it at first. I mean was Santa trying to replace me?

Christmas Memories

But as the day went on I realized he wasn’t all that bad. I mean after all we now out number the babies in this house….which means when it comes to take a vote on whether we go to shopping at Petco vs. Babies R’ Us me and my little sidekick here will win every time!

Christmas Memories

Christmas morning at my house was full of wonderful memories. And in case you are wondering, yes, I got lots of presents from Santa!

Christmas Memories

Christmas didn’t end there though, because my family and I were off to celebrate with all of our extended family. We ate, exchanged gifts, and created even more memories.

Christmas Memories

And when my cousins got into town, you know things got crazy!

Christmas Memories

And that my friends, is another Christmas come and gone!

What about you? What was your favorite Christmas memory this year?

You Don’t Need a Tissue When you have a Dog

Posted on January 9, 2017 by Ammo

You Don't Need a Tissue when you have a dog

From day 1 my sister has been infatuated with me. It’s probably my stunning good looks, and my spitfire personality that does it, or perhaps I guess it might be because I look like a giant stuffed animal.

You Don't Need a Tissue when you have a dog

And I’ve loved her from the start too, maybe because she looks like a big stuffed animal sometimes too!

Whatever the case may be, we’re both thick as thieves. So when my sister needs something, I’m going to be there for her. In this case it was a tissue…..and I was more than happy to oblige….

I just hope you repay the favor someday Baby P!

Happy Holidays

12 Days of Cheer! Merry Christmas from Ammo the Dachshund

Hitch up my sleigh! Because Santa is taking a little too long to get here, so I’m taking matters into my own hands!

Holiday Tidings

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!

Happy Valentine's Day // Ammo the Dachshund

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 Parading We Will Go

Posted on December 21, 2016 by Ammo

Holiday Christmas Parade

A few weekends ago I took Baby P on a very special outing. I took her to her very first Christmas parade!

Holiday 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!

Holiday Christmas Parade

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.

Holiday Christmas 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!

Holiday Christmas Parade

I was super excited to see some fellow low riders in the parade! Although I’m pretty sure I totally had them out dressed!

Holiday Christmas Parade

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?

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 4

Posted on December 16, 2016 by Ammo

Another month has passed and Baby P is now 4 months old! Can you believe it? And just like the past 3 months I was right by her side to document just how much she’s grown.

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 4

We’re super serious about our monthly photos….as you can see.

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 4

And because it’s the month of December, we totally had to take one making our “OMG Santa’s Coming!” faces!

Incase you missed the previous monthly sessions, be sure to check out Months 1 – 3 on my blog.

Raise your paw if you think Baby P is growing up way too fast!

A Very Merry Christmas with the Jolly Guy

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Ammo

Just before Thanksgiving I went on a special adventure to visit Santa! Now I know what you’re thinking, visiting Santa before Thanksgiving? But hey….

A Very Merry Christmas

…no lines! And when you have your little baby sister with you, no lines is a good thing!

A Very Merry Christmas

That’s right, this was Baby P’s first time visiting with Santa. And you know I taught her well when the first thing she did was to tug on Santa’s beard to make sure it was real. You can never be too careful these days!

A Very Merry Christmas

And if you’re thinking I let Baby P have all the fun, you would be mistaken. I NEVER pass up the opportunity to tell a jolly man in a red suit EXACTLY what I want for Christmas!

A Very Merry Christmas

Next year Baby P and I need to work on our smiles. (It’s always hard to concentrate on picture taking when you’re trying to remember your Christmas wish list). We’ll get there.

It was fun to actually have a buddy to visit Santa with this year, after all, for the past 8 years I’ve been doing it solo. Santa is always more fun with friends!

Do your dogs get to visit Santa every year?
