My New Adventure as a Big Brother

Posted on May 27, 2016 by Ammo

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Over the weekend mom and I arrived at the farm to find a celebration! Mom said it was a baby shower for my soon-to-be little sister, although the way I saw it was a celebration of me becoming a big brother!

It was the perfect combination of ponies….

….and food! (My favorite).

Of course it wouldn’t have been a celebration if I didn’t break of my bowtie! The brother-to-be always has to look his best.

Even though my buddy Minnow was just outside in the pasture, we certainly had to include him in the festivities too. So he was inside in spirit for a pin-the-baby-on-the-pony game.

Eventually it was time for my favorite part of the day! Opening presents!

I’m an expert at gift unwrapping and I was super excited to see what all my friends and family brought to celebrate my “becoming a big brother”.

There were lots of sweet dachshund (and pony) related gifts that were opened but I was starting to realize why mom said it was a “baby shower”.

Eventually Trooper and I started to loose interest in the baby gear so I decided to checkout what fun games there might be for me to play instead.

I was in luck, because not only was there was a stinky inspired game just for me, but it also included candy bars in a “guess which candy bar/dirty diaper game”. I may or may not have gotten in big trouble for trying to steal one of them! 😉

I sulked for a bit about not being involved as much as I would have liked in this “baby shower”, but mom told me not to worry…

…for she says soon I’ll have to test all the baby gear for my sister before she comes. And something tells me mom and dad will be practicing carrying me around in this baby carrier pretty soon!

After the shower I helped gift all our special friends these cute little horse shoes to show how much I appreciated them coming to celebrate my little sister.

Mom, Dad, Minnow, Me and Boomerang (who just happened to be in another pasture for this picture) are super excited for my little sister to get here! I can’t wait to show her where all the groundhog holes are on the farm, she’s going to love it!

Do you include your dog in family gatherings and parties?

Balloons

Posted on April 25, 2011 by Ammo

Boy did I have a fun Easter! How about you? Don’t worry, I plan to tell you all about it in a few days – but first I remembered I forgot to tell you about something I did last week!

Remember the baby shower I got to go to last Sunday? Well I can’t believe I forgot to tell you that mom actually let me help set up for it! I know right, she never lets me help!

The best part….it involved Balloons of all things!

I guess I can sorta understand why mom doesn’t usually let me help with things like these….because I had a little accident….

We had one Balloon casualty. But it’s not my fault…..it’s really hard to tie a knot when all you have are paws! Sigh.

Cupcakes & Diapers

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Ammo

On Sunday I had the feeling that something exciting was going to happen.

Clue number one was that I had to get dressed up!

Mom said we were going to have a Baby Shower for her cousin.

“Does this mean I’ll get to play with Babies?” – Me

“Not quite, but there will be cupcakes & diapers” – Mom

So I parked myself on the couch and waited for these so called cupcakes & diapers to arrive.

And I waited.

And then just as I was getting really tired of waiting…

The cupcakes arrived! (I may or may not have licked a few…..shhhh!)

In fact, lots of food arrived. I tried my best to look awfully cute so that the mom-to-be would send some treats my way, but it didn’t quite work out as planned.

So instead I took a break from party mode and took a nap on the couch for a while.

I instantly perked up though when I heard we were gonna play some party games. “Games? I love games!”

“Someone help me cut my ribbon so I can guess how big the baby belly is!”

Then the highlight of my day….the diapers arrived! And you’ll never guess what. There was melted chocolate inside of them……sweet glorious day.

Apparently it was for some game where you have to guess which melted chocolate bar is inside the diaper. I think I need to brush up on my chocolate bars, because I failed miserably….even with a few taste tests!
