Throwback Thursday: Blizzard with a Dachshund

Ammo the Dachshund // Snowday

While this year it seems the winter storms have come in full force to my area, for the past couple of years we haven’t really had any record snowfall. In fact, the last time we had big blizzards like this I was just a wee pup. So today for Throwback Thursday I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some old snow videos circa 2009!

As you can see I loved the snow even when I was a pup – it makes for the best tunneling and digging adventures!

Does your dog love to dig and burrow in the snow too? Ammo the Dachshund

Throwback Thursday: Napping Buddies

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Throwback Thursday on the blog, so I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane today!

Back when I was just a wee pup my pal Trooper used to come to the shop to “babysit” me everyday. While I did get in my fair share of puppy antics, Trooper and I also did a whole lot of napping together……

Throwback Thursday: Supermodel in Training

Starting at just a few weeks old I was already in training to becoming an international supermodel.

With a camera shoved in my face 24/7 (thanks mom!), I was learning how to look oh so sexy for the camera.

It wasn’t that hard actually, because I was (and am) adorable…..

Throwback Thursday: Sweater Weather

One of the questions I get a lot is why do I tolerate wearing coats, sweaters, and even costumes so well? The answer is simple, I was born in October and warm outfits became an important part of my everyday life to keep me warm at a very young age!

Not to mention I looked oh-so-good in a hand knitted sweater!

The Year in Pup Culture: Ammo on Animal Planet

The Year in Pup Culture // Ammo the Dachshund on Animal Planet

You might remember that I mentioned that I would be appearing on the new animal planet show, The Year in Pup Culture, which aired on December 22, 2012.

The Year in Pup Culture // Ammo the Dachshund on Animal Planet

It’s an action-packed hour of non-stop, over-the-top cuteness. THE YEAR IN PUP CULTURE looks back at the defining moments of 2012 as only Animal Planet can — with puppies! These adorable pups reenact the most memorable moments of the year, including scenes from top blockbuster movies and ripped-from-the headline bits. If these moments piqued public interest in 2012, they are getting “puppified” in the cutest hour on television.

Well when I actually got to watch my (and Minnow’s) beautiful mug on tv, I was so excited that they actually compared me (yes little old me) to a Kardashian! Am I really that famous? Just check it out for yourself:

Oh yes, you heard right – me and Minnow are like the Kim & Kanye of Animal Planet! Well, except the fact that we’re best friends instead of lovers, although I do love my Minnow dearly. Proof:

I’m pretty sure this means that I get some designer doggie gear now that I’m associated with the Kardashian clan, right? Or at least a feature on Khloe Kardashian’s or Kim Kardashian’s Blog?

A dog can dream….

 

P.S. I hear Kim & Kanye are expecting their first child  (yes, I keep up with my pop culture)….congrats to the couple, and just FYI I’m available for baby sitting. *wink*

My Friend Leo

Have I told you about my R.L. (that’s “real life”) Dachshund friend Leo?

ammo the dachshund and his friend leo

He lives down the street from mom’s shop and is a feisty 7 month old black and tan mini doxie dude! (Although I hear he won’t be a “real dude” for much longer – sorry pal).

Arguably Leo is a lot younger than me (I’ve got 3 years on him), so I’ve decided to teach him the ways of the World. Don’t tell him I said so – but his hunting skills need a lot of work!

I’ve got a lot of work ahead to make Leo into my sidekick.

But I’m pretty sure with an excellent teacher like me he’ll have to turn out Super Awesome.

Homework assignment #1 for Leo: Eat all of your veggies so that you can “leap tall buildings in a single bound” just like me! 

Cupcakes & Diapers

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!

Sigh. All in all I had a fabulous day, but when it was all said and done I had one question to ask.

“Mom, where do babies come from?”
