Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Weenie in a Tub

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Weenie in a Tub // Ammo the Dachshund

When you spend a lot of your time on a horse farm it’s inevitable that you’ll find yourself in the tub more often than not.

Bath time rituals become pretty common for me as I’m used to hearing things around the house like “what’s that smell?”, “what did you roll in this time?”, or my favorite “The smell is horrible!”.

While my patented weenie stench is not something all members of my household enjoy (what do you mean you don’t like the smell of soggy worms and horse poop?), I can say that sometimes I do enjoy the benefits of a good bath.

Not only does my after bath aroma warrant extra cuddles and the praises of “you’re so soft” and “you smell like sunshine”, but…

….I find that afterwards my pleading eyes for more cookies mom, are almost always met with – “of course you can have another cookie, because you’re so clean and sweet!”

Guess I’ll just have to start stinking up the place a little more often if I want those after bath cookies! Ammo the Dachshund

Dogtails Shampoo Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my new friends over at Dogtails sent me a sample of their natural clarifying dog shampoo little did I know that I would be needing it so soon.

My adventures in groundhog hunting on the farm inevitably landed me in the tub as soon as I got home!

Bathtime isn’t always my favorite thing to do, but when you have a good shampoo that can get you squeaky clean in no time it makes it that much more bare-able. Plus the bottle had a picture of a dachshund on it….so I knew it was meant to be!

A little bit of shampoo went a long way, and as you could see from my instagram video, a quarter sized amount of soap got all that crud out of my fur.

Stink Happens

Posted on by

As some of my facebook fans may have already seen, I had a glorious time over the weekend, and it looked a little something like this:

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

Oh yes, it was the perfect combination of horse poop, mud, dead animal, and wet!

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

I was basking in the glow of my dirtiness, and so excited to show mom and dad, that is until the word BATH was mentioned!

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

“But mom, it’s the perfectly pungent summertime aroma – I know, because I smelled it”.

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

My pleas were unheard as I found myself in the ponies’ wash stall – it was utter disappointment.

When it was all over I smelled like roses and sunshine……it was HORRIBLE! Oh well, live to stink another day! Ammo the Dachshund

Spring Bath

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

When the weather starts to warm up I always know that I will be spending a lot more time in the bathtub than I’d really care to.

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

Arguably it’s not my favorite thing in the World, but I like to think I’m pretty tolerable of the deed.

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

And it’s really not that BAD, especially since mom always provides cookies. A bath without cookies is like rolling in dead worms with a coat on – pointless – and precisely what got me into this mess in the first place.

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

After bath time I’m left smelling like sunshine and daisies – not what super awesome dogs that dig holes in the backyard and hunt for bunnies should be smelling like. So it’s best to rub that smell off as quickly as possible.

Pretty soon I’ll be dry and looking for my next big thing to roll in. This time I’m thinking horse manure and kitty litter – if I plan it just right then mom won’t have time to give me a bath before we go to work. Always gotta be thinking! Smell ya later, xoxo Ammo the Dachshund

Valentine’s Day Treasures

Last week I celebrated the hallmark holiday (v-day) at home with my family. Curled up on the couch, with a small token gift or two, it was the perfect way to celebrate the day!

A bottle of shampoo & conditioner from my Friday Fetch Feature, Organic Oscar, and a bag of healthy cheese and bacon treats!

Thanks mom and dad, you’re the best! But do you mind if I share my shampoo with Trooper? He’s much stinkier than I am! Ammo the Dachshund

If you Dig, I will Come

Trooper’s new house on the farm has officially been started, and the digging of the foundation is my favoritest part!

Reminds me of how much fun I had on the farm when the barn was being built a few years ago.

Apparently you’re never too old to play in the mud!

Although, this time I hope the story ends a little better for me than it did when I was a pup. Ammo the Dachshund

Dirt, Tunnels, and Spring-time Baths

Posted on by

Sometimes I’m completely perplexed as to how I land myself in the bathtub at the end of the day. However, this was not one of those times.

See last week the ponies had a new “obstacle” set up in the arena that I just couldn’t keep my paws off of.

It’s enticing “dirtiness” and tunneling capabilities were just calling my name.

And when Boomerang pointed out that I had a little something on my face – I knew my trip to the bathtub was inevitable.

Sigh. At least smelling like sunshine again isn’t all that bad.
