The Fog Rolls In

The Fog Rolls In // Ammo the Dachshund

The other morning on the farm things were looking a bit eery.

The fog rolled in over the hills and I could barely see in front of my nose.

I felt like I was on another planet as the sky molded into the ground and each step I took had me wondering what was on the other side.

As I drifted around the farm I began to think that this fog could be of no use to me what-so-ever.

But I shouldn’t have been so quick to to judge because Cricket reminded me that fog was one of the best type of “weather conditions” to go hunting in.

Quiet Days on the Farm

Posted on by

Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.

Reunited

Posted on by

You may remember that my kitty pal Spider and I had started a search party for our friend Cricket the Barn cat over a month ago. When Cricket went missing (and stayed missing) for over a month Spider and I feared the worst. We hoped that she had found a new home, but despite flyers and drive-bys at the SPCA we had no clue what happened to our pal.

About to give up hope on the return of our friend, on one last stop in at the SPCA someone mentioned that there were some cats in the quarantine room that we may not have seen. As luck would have it, one of those cats was Cricket! Someone from a neighborhood near the farm (but surprisingly not that near) had found her and turned her over to the SPCA nearly 4 weeks earlier, and since then she had sat in the quarantine area because of a goopy eye (which she has been known to have).

I was so thrilled to have my pal back, and I think she was relieved to be home once again.

So Cricket, please no more wondering off – we love you too much!

P.S. Cricket and Spider have appointments to be microchipped just like I am! No more missing kitties on my watch.

Kitty Love

Posted on by

The family farm is such a wonderful place, not only is it home to my magical Painting Pony friends, but it also home to the barn kitties, Spider & Cricket. One of the things that is so great about all my furry friends on the farm – everyone loves each other. I love the ponies & the kitties, the kitties love the ponies & me, and the ponies love everyone too! It’s one big happy family.

Footprints in the Snow

ammo the dachshund in the snow

Last night when I was at the the farm it snowed! Being the adventuresome type that I am, I went off to do some exploring while the white stuff was falling from the sky.

Spider (of course) took it upon herself to follow me on my adventure, and never one to be out-done, Spider did a little showing off. (don’t tell her but I was slightly impressed with her tight-rope walking skills)

And as if she hadn’t already showed me up enough, then she took it upon herself to write her name in the snow.

I can’t read “kitty”, but I’m pretty sure that it says “Spider Rules and Ammo Drools”.

ammo the dachshund in the snow

Little did she know though, but I also know how to write my name in the snow!

And for those of you who can’t read “dog” it says, “Dear Spider, while you were out I ate all of your  kitty food and left some yellow snow on your pillow. xoxo Ammo”.

The Cheese to my Macaroni

ammo the dachshund & cricket

When I’m on the farm Cricket likes to do everything I do. She’s like the Cheese to my Macaroni, the Icing on my Cupcake, and the Ketchup to my French Fries all rolled into one.

ammo the dachshund & cricket

When I climb logs, she climbs logs.

When I sniff scents, she sniffs scents.

And when I get lost in the depths of the giant scary log pile, she’s the one that’s sent to rescue me.

Thanks Cricket, for being the ever-lasting Cheese to my Macaroni!

Messy Paws

Yesterday on the farm mom decided to bring the ponies’ paints out of storage for a little winter painting.

As you can see, they made quite the mess.

A mess that I somehow got suckered into cleaning up.

And my lovely assistant was absolutely no help at all!

Excitement Abounds

Yesterday morning on the farm a cool mist of fog rolled in over the hills.

All the horses amidst a backdrop of fogginess had such an ominous look about them.

Including my pal Spider the Kitten.

Mom said the foggy sky must have brought out the feisty in Spider.

I have to admit, she had a crazier than normal look in her eye.

But when I inspected her thoroughly ….

….I couldn’t find anything that smelled like feisty! Nope, just regular old Spider.

Feisty smelling or not, excitement abounds whenever Spider has the look of fire in her eyes!

Yipeee!

Dressed in Yellow and Ready to Rumble

Sometimes when I’m at the farm I get the itch to wrestle and run like crazy. Sadly, sometimes my pal Trooper isn’t there to wrestle with me – so usually I find the next best thing, one of the cats!

Unfortunately the cats don’t always always feel the same way I do.

Incognito

spider the kitten

It’s fall on the farm, and it’s my favorite time of year. Even Spider the kitten is excited about the new fallen leaves.

I have to say I’m a wee bit jealous of her – as she’s become a master at going incognito in her leaf surroundings.

Even Cricket can’t figure out how not to stick out like a sore thumb.

And Trooper, don’t even get me started on him, sometimes I don’t even think he tries!

ammo the dachshund

I on the other hand “might” be able to pull off the incognito look, had somebody (*cough* mom) not dressed me in BRIGHT BLUE! Sheesh!

But, despite my shortcomings in the incognito department I can still chase the cats….

….and romp with the dogs. Blue coat and all! Happy Fall to All!
