So if you’re looking for a fun way to spend your Sunday with a bunch of dachshunds – I hope you’ll stop on by. And don’t worry, for those of you that can’t attend I’ll be back next week with a full recap of all my adventures.

Yay for helping dachshunds in need! Ammo the Dachshund

 

Spring Doxie Fest Recap

As most of you know I was invited to paint and perform at the 2013 Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. I love to support animal rescues, so I jumped at the chance to show off my stuff!

So I packed up my car with lots of goodies for my booth, and brought along all of my trick gear for my big performance. (you can always shop online with me HERE).

When it came time to perform I was excited to show everyone what I had been practicing. I love to learn and doing tricks with my mom is one of my favoritiest things in the whole wide world.

I kicked off my big performance by finishing up a painting I had started earlier in the week…..afterall you can’t rush talent!

Then it was off to my phone booth for a quick costume change, of course everyone giggled when my Super Undies went on display for the world to see. I’m still blushing. But Super Ammo had a job to do, and I wasn’t going to let a little embarrassment stop me!

Eventually I had to break out my super helmet for some of the more dangerous tricks. Safety first.

After all that performing I was ready to meet my fans!

By then I was pretty tired, but my day wasn’t over yet, because I had to judge some of the contests like best kisser, best tail wag, best costume, and best trick.

I even got to meet a cool doxie named Harry who had a knack for playing golf! (I chose him as the winner of best trick by the way).

Incase you missed my big performance at the Doxie Fest, below is a quick highlight video I made. And if you want to see some more of my amazing tricks you can check out the SUPER PONY DVD that I made with my favorite trick ponies HERE.

At the end of the day I was so excited that so many of you came out to watch me perform and meet me, and most importantly support a great rescue like the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.

P.S. you all have some pretty cute Dachshunds! Ammo the Dachshund

2012 Pa Horse World Expo – with Ammo

Attending the 2012 Pa Horse World Expo with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony was a new experience for both of us.

And for anyone who stopped by our booth – you may have thought I did a lot of this….

ammo the dachshund 2012 pa horse world expo

…and this.

But, in reality it was exhausting being the front man for Minnow – and drawing in the crowds.

This cute mug isn’t just for looking pretty – it’s for creating a crowd.

Although, my pal Minnow seems to be pretty good at that too. 🙂

Traveler

Guess what! I won’t be having to build any Super Forts in my basement anytime soon….because I’m traveling along with Painting Pony, Minnow, for our big trip to the PA Horse World Expo in Harrisburg, PA.

I’ve been helping mom pack the horse trailer all week – with what seems like the entire contents of Minnow’s bedroom. How many bags of cardboard bedding does he really need anyway?

I’m pretty sure we have everything for our trip….

…and perhaps a few stowaways too! (wouldn’t be the first time). 

 

You can visit me at the Pa Horse World Expo Thursday – Sunday at booth #607 & 608 and also keep up with all of my adventures during the event on my Facebook page. Visit the blog next week to hear about all the fun I had!

Pa Horse World Expo

It’s no secret that my pal Minnow, The Painting Pony, will be attending the PA Horse World Expo at the end of February. This is one of the largest Horse Expos in the country and Minnow is going to be right smack dab in the middle of the expo floor to meet his fans and paint amazing pictures.

Not being one to be left behind often, I too will be making an appearance at the Expo this year. I’m going to try not to steal the show from Minnow, put my amazing super hero stunts and my stunning good looks cannot always be helped.

So if you are in the Harrisburg, PA area February 23 – 26th be sure to come visit me at booth #607 & 608 at the Pa Horse World Expo. I’ll try to make sure I take my mid-day nap before you come!

Wild Ride

Holy Cannoli! Boy did I have a busy weekend!

Ammo and Trooper at the fair

This picture of me and Trooper pretty much sums up the adventurous weekend I had. Don’t worry, I didn’t actually have to ride a bull, but I did have to entertain lots of children (and adults), sniff a whole bunch of dog butts, eat funnel cake, and I even ran through an agility course…twice!

As you can see, I’m a pretty hard working Dachshund.

To prove my point, here’s a BEFORE shot of me and Trooper just getting started on our weekend adventure at the Chadds Ford Days.

And here’s us AFTER a weekend full of excitement!

Even super dogs need to catch up on their sleep once in a while.

 

Ludwigs Day 2

I’ll admit, after Day 1 at the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show I was a little tired. It’s hard being adorable all the time.

But, mom brought out the big guns (aka chicken) and I was more than happy to show everyone my favorite tricks!

Not trying to brag, but no one plays dead like I do!

Minnow drew a crowd too with his amazing painting skills……but really…..I stole the show!

“Super Ammo” knows how to make everyone laugh.

Even when you have technical difficulties with your stunt helmet.

In fact, I got so much love after my performances that I think Minnow was jealous!

All that excitement really wears a boy out!

When I got back to the farm I took a well deserved nap. Which actually ended up being pretty short lived…

Because Trooper was just begging to be chased!
