Imagination Hat – The Return of Super Ammo

Posted on by

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. On tuesday I went to outer space, wednesday I went under the sea, thursday I went to Dinosaur Land and today I’m back on the moon as myself – Super Ammo!

I think out of all the places I’ve been this week the moon has been my favorite.

I love looking at the stars, and I even got to make a few wishes on the shooting ones.

I’m sure you can probably guess what I’ve been wising for – for my mom and Minnow to return home soon – because as much fun as I’ve been having with my imagination hat, I do still miss my real life adventures with mom and Minnow.

Dad says not to worry though, because they will be home TONIGHT!

I probably should prepare a welcome home party, or hang a banner, or bake a cake, but honestly I’m having way too much fun on the moon right now – and I’m pretty sure my wagging tail and kisses will be more than enough for a welcome home celebration! (I wag a mean tail).

I hope you all enjoyed coming along with me and my imagination hat – I had so much fun that I think I’ll definitely have to have some more adventures with it soon! Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat – Dinosaur Land

Posted on by

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. On tuesday I went to outer space, yesterday I went under the sea and today I’m on a journey to Dinosaur Land!

I brought my binoculars with me, because I’m really hoping to see some Dinosaurs up close and personal!

Wouldn’t it be awesome if I saw a T-Rex? Did you know my mom and dad almost named me T-Rex (which is awesome by the way) on account of my stubby little arms.

I’m just as scary as a T-Rex too…just check out my ferocious growl! So don’t worry, should I happen upon any Dinosaurs I can totally hold my own! Ammo the Dachshund

 

Imagination Hat – Under the Sea

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. Yesterday I went to outer space and today I’m on a journey Under the Sea!

I made sure to pack my flippers, and it’s a good thing I’m an excellent swimmer because I’m deep deep under the sea.

I haven’t seen any sharks yet, but if you spot any I hope you’ll warn me!

Just to be safe I rolled in the stinkiest thing I could find before going Under the Sea – so that I’ll be extra un-enticing to any sharks that come along. I hope. Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat – Trip to Outer Space

Posted on by

Since Mom is away this week in Chincoteaugue, Virginia with Minnow the Painting Pony I’m having my own little adventure with my imagination hat.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat - Outerspace

I’m glad you decided to join me, because today I’m taking a trip into outer space!

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat - Outerspace

There are so many stars and planets up here – it’s really quite amazing.

Mom called last night to check on me, and suggested I pack a lunch and drink plenty of water during my trip to space. Jeeze mom, of course I wouldn’t forget to pack a lunch!

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat - Outerspace

I do miss my mom, but I am having a blast on the moon! I’m on the lookout for moon martians, because I’m in desperate need of a fetch playmate – it is a bit lonely up here. I’ll keep you posted should I find any. Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat

Posted on by

Today is the day that mom and my pal Minnow the Painting Pony left for Chincoteague Island, Virginia for a week. I’m very sad not to be going on this adventure with them – as it’s been an entire year since I’ve been away from my mom for more than a day.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

Last year when Mom and Minnow left for pony penning week I killed the time by building a super awesome fort in my basement.

This year I decided to try a little something different – since just because I’m stuck home alone all day while Dad is at work doesn’t mean I can’t still go on some adventures of my own.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

Enter my imagination hat! Hand-made by my pal Baxter’s Mom, I just know my imagination hat is going to take me on tons of adventures this week. (you can fetch your own imagination hat here)

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

I hope you’ll come along with me for the ride, because imagination adventures are always more fun when you have friends.

Hopefully by the time Minnow returns from pony penning I’ll have just as many adventures to share with him as he does with me! Ammo the Dachshund

Ammo the Movie Star is Here!

Ammo the Dachshund - Painting Pony Video Shoot - Filming

Ok, so maybe I won’t really be seeing my name on a star in Hollywood (a dog can dream) – but in the World of Magical Painting Ponies, I am a movie star! (and technically I have been on National Television before via Animal Planet – check it out here)

Ammo the Dachshund - Painting Pony Video Shoot - Filming

Last week my Uncle Taylor came to visit from his home in North Carolina. Taylor is an uber talented videographer and editor – shooting weddings, commercials, documentaries, training videos, and much much more. And guess what…..he brought his video equipment with him!

The name of the game was filming some brand new videos for Painting Pony.

And although my pony friends did make a shining appearance on these new videos – we all know who the real star is…

…me!

I had some big important roles, and don’t worry, I totally gave it 110%.

I even got to do some serious action shots – with multiple takes!

I also got to perform on the video with my bestest buddy Trooper.

It was aaaaamazing!

And, incase you are wondering – yes I did my own stunts!

I can hardly wait to see the finished product, and as soon as it’s done I’ll be sure to let everyone know! And if you are counting down the days to see yours truly on DVD, you can check out The Trick Ponies of Chincoteague DVD which has my happy little face on it too.

And if you’re looking for some video work make sure you check out Envision Event Media and Depthink Productions!

Super Heroes Unite – Chincoteague Pony Minnow gets ready for Pony Penning

Posted on by

My stay-cation last week may have you thinking that all I did was go paddleboarding and flying, but this super dog never gets to relax completely – and I had to mix in a little bit of work too (if you can call it that).

My bestest pony friend Minnow the Painting Pony and I got our photoshoot on and took some promotional photos for this year’s Chincoteague Pony Penning held at the end of July.

Ammo the Dachshund Super Hero and his Super Hero Pony

Each year my friend Minnow (aka Super Minnow) travels to Chincoteague Island, Virginia to perform for a week during the annual Chincoteague Pony Swim and Auction.

Not only does he paint original art during his stay on the island, but he also gets to show off some of his amazing tricks by performing a skit during the nightly shows at the Chincoteague Pony Centre.

Mom and I work very hard for months in advance to help Minnow learn a new performance each year before pony penning – and I think this year’s performance is one of the best yet!

Ammo the Dachshund Super Hero and his Super Hero Pony

This year Minnow is going to Super Hero Bootcamp – and as you can see by his rolly polly belly that he certainly was in need of a bootcamp!

Ammo the Dachshund Super Hero and his Super Hero Pony

The only way to see Minnow’s new performance is to visit him on the island at the end of July, but since I knew not everyone would make it I talked mom into having a new DVD made of the performance that will be available for purchase hopefully next month. (meanwhile you can check out Minnow’s other DVD featuring yours truly HERE).

Ammo the Dachshund Super Hero and his Super Hero Pony

I’m a bit jealous that I won’t be able to watch Minnow’s performance live either, as dogs aren’t allowed many places on the island and I have to stay home with Dad, so I’ll just have to wish him luck from afar.

Ammo the Dachshund Super Hero and his Super Hero Pony

It’s a shame really, because what’s a Super Hero without his sidekick?

I’m sure Minnow knows I’m his biggest fan though, and I’ll be cheering him on from home! Go Minnow!Ammo the Dachshund

Putting Workout Barbie to Shame

Posted on by

Today my bestest pony pal Minnow is putting Workout Barbie to shame. See Minnow is training for a new performance for this year’s Chincoteague Pony Swim down on Chincoteague Island at the end of July.

I’ve seen it first hand and trust me, this:

…is way cooler than this:

And if that weren’t enough, Minnow is even letting me be his workout partner!

You can call me Workout Puppy!

So me and Workout Pony here are going to be spending the next couple months working on our muscles. You probably won’t even recognize us by the end of it!

So make sure you head over to the Painting Pony Blog to keep up to date on our workout progress. Minnow even promised to show me how to do push-ups soon! Yipee! 

The Inspector

My pony friends recently got in a shipment of new equipment to use during their mounted games competitions on the farm!

ammo the dachshund inspecting at the farm

These brand-new items for the Windsor Castle Race looked pretty spiffy to me, but there is really no way to tell until Inspector Ammo makes his rounds.

ammo the dachshund inspecting at the farm

The traffic cones looked alright I guess, and would have gotten an A++ instead of an A if they smelled like dead animals instead of new plastic though.

The polo balls were a bit tough to inspect because they were very difficult for me to pick up.

Rolling them was a bit more effective – but just not as fun.

I was distraught as to whether I should give them a passing grade for pony usage – especially since they didn’t come equipped with squeakers inside.

But then I decided, what the heck, squeaker or not how can you not have fun with a ball! So go ahead ponies, have fun with your new toys – they passed inspection! Yipee!

My Weekend Adventures

My weekends always seem to be filled with non-stop adventures. Sleeping the day away is not an option when there are lots of things to see and do. So here’s a little recap of all the adventures I had this past weekend…
