Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

My fun day in the snow after winter storm Jonas last weekend didn’t end after I helped my dad dig us out, because my ponies on the farm needed to be cared for too!

So Trooper and I bundled up and got ready to help with all the farm chores!

Once all my ponies were fed, and the stalls were mucked, it was time to have a little fun.

And just like that we were off! (bet you can’t even spot me way up ahead of Trooper…he can never catch me!)

Boomerang is always our first stop, because he’s ALWAYS up for a good time in the snow.

His toothy grin pretty much says it all, and I’m pretty sure he wishes it was a snow day everyday.

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

Yup, Boomer definitely knows how to have a good time in the snow!

Two can play at that game Boomer! Because I know how to have a good time in the snow too!

Even my pal Minnow wanted to get in on the action.

Trooper did pretty well keeping up with Minnow despite the deep snow…

….I of course tried my little heart out to keep up too, but lets face it, 26+ inches of snow is not exactly friendly to us short dogs. #shortdogproblems

So I relegated myself to the spectators side of the fence to get a better view of the pony show.

And my pal Minnow did not disappoint! He put on a grand show for me in the snow.

Overall it was a perfect snow day on the farm with my ponies. I can’t wait to do it again soon!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog’s Fun Snow Day

Posted on January 27, 2016 by Ammo

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

When winter storm Jonas hit my area on Friday night I was ready for it! Although when I awoke the next day in the midst of the storm, I wasn’t quite prepared for having to make a trek to find a spot to pee!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Good thing mom was on hand to help me trek through the Blizzard in search of a spot!

Although, I may have gotten a bit distracted as to the purpose of this excursion! I spent most of the day on Saturday curled up inside waiting for the winds and snow to die down so I could actually go outside and play.

By Sunday the storm had ended, and we were left with 26+ inches of glorious snow and I was ready to go outside and play!

Dad thoughtfully shoveled me a potty area in the backyard, but as you know, I like to blaze my own trail!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

I know there is a lot of dogs out there that don’t like the cold, wet snow to touch their paws, but I’m not one of them! I love to explore in the snow, and mom and dad end up having to make me come inside because I’ll stay out there until I’m shivering.

Check out the fun video below of me enjoying my snow day….

Eventually I had to help dad clear the driveway, as were were pretty much snowed in at that point.

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

It’s a good thing I’m not very good at holding a shovel, because clearing the driveway was hard work!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

By mid-day Dad had cleared just enough that we could get out for a walk.

So I took the opportunity to visit the neighborhood kids who were having a blast “attempting” to sled in the deep snow.

Stay tuned on Friday for the continuation of my snow day adventures, where I got to play with my ponies on the farm!

Does your dog enjoy playing in the snow?

Throwback Thursday: Snow Bunny

Posted on September 25, 2014 by Ammo

Living in Pennsylvania I’ve been through my fair share of winter storms. But one of the first BIG ones I encountered was in 2010 when it snowed so much that I could barely get through it.

Ammo in the Snow 2010

Oh who am I kidding, even when it snows just a little I can barely get through it with my short legs! But that doesn’t stop me from having a grand time!

Only time will tell if this winter will bring any record snowfalls! Just incase I’ve stocked up on snowsuits!

Big Blizzard

2014 Blizzard with Ammo the Dachshund

Last Thursday when I awoke there was a whole lot of snow outside my door. As in 15+ inches of fluffy white stuff!

2014 Blizzard with Ammo the Dachshund

Of course the first thing I did was pile on my jackets and head outdoors to catch some snowflakes!

2014 Blizzard with Ammo the Dachshund

Running like a crazy dog through the snow was totally worth being chilly for just a few minutes. So fun in fact, that I headed out to the farm for some more winter adventures with my ponies!

Even the ponies had fun in the snow!

2014 Blizzard with Ammo the Dachshund

Despite the inches upon inches of snow we received (and keep continuing to receive), I just can’t get on board with “snow bashing”. It might be cold and wet, difficult for mom and dad to shovel, and somewhat of a hazard – but when else do you get to make memories like these? Snowday fun is just the kind of adventures I needed this winter!

How about you, do you enjoy snow day adventures as much as me?

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?

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day!

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

Last week we got not one but two snowstorms in Pennsylvania! Did you know that I absolutely love snow?

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

It might be cold and wet, but nothing beats plowing your way through the white fluffy stuff.

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

I wore my Noodle & Friends coat, my sparkly holiday collar from Mattie & Margot (for holiday cheer purposes), and I even slapped on a pair of Pawz booties mom had found at goodwill for me to test them out in the snow.

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

The Pawz boots may not have really kept my feet any warmer, but they did keep out any snow or salt. Plus they just looked cute because they matched my jacket!

And as you can see they didn’t slow me down any in the snow!

Does your dog enjoy the snow as much as I do?

12 Days of Cheer! Hunting for the Perfect Tree

Posted on December 12, 2013 by Ammo

Part of my yearly Holiday tradition is to go shopping for the perfect Christmas tree. Only this years tree hunt was a little extra special.

12 Days of Cheer! Shopping for the Perfect Tree // Ammo the Dachshund

I headed out to my favorite tree shopping spot, the TriColor Tree Farm and much to my surprise it had started to snow! Now if a little winter blizzard during Christmas Tree shopping doesn’t spell Christmas than I don’t know what does.

12 Days of Cheer! Shopping for the Perfect Tree // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course before the tree hunt could begin I had to make sure the tree field was groundhog free. I just can’t help myself!

Once I cleared the field of pesky groundhogs, I wasted no time in picking out the perfect little petite tree.

Before we cut it down we had to take the obligatory “pose with the tree for posting on Facebook later” photos. It’s absolutely necessary in the Holiday Tree Hunt.

Once that was over with, it was time to cut that suckka down!

After the nice people at TriColor Tree Farm helped me wrap up my tree I was ready to bring it home for some decorating fun!

12 Days of Cheer! Shopping for the Perfect Tree // Ammo the Dachshund

Ta-da! Isn’t is gorgeous? I decorated it all by myself too!

Ok well I might have had a little help with the angel. Curse of the short legs and all!

Happy Christmas!

P.S. For those of you wondering my tree hunting jacket is from Noodle and Friends.

Snowday with the Ponies

Ammo the Dachshund // Snowday

On Friday I got to leave work early on account of the snow that made it’s way to Pennsylvania.

Ammo the Dachshund // Snowday with the Ponies

Of course a little bit of snow never stops me from having an adventure, so I bundled up in my jackets and decided to have some fun on the farm. Did you know that ponies like to have snowdays too?
