12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

This year I decided to do my own rendition of the classic Christmas song, Jingle Bells.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

Why don’t you sing along with me,

Dashing through the snow
In a one-dog wooden sled
O’er the fields we go
Barking all the way
Bells on collars ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and bark
At all the neighbors tonight!

Happy Holidays!

Now I’m sure you probably think I’m a total pro behind the camera (which yea, I sort of am), but it actually takes me quite a few tries to get that one perfect shot for my holiday card every year. And as I’m sure every super model has outtakes just like me, I thought it would be fun to share a few of mine….

And lets just say there is dozens more where that came from. So as you can see creating my spectacularly cheery holiday card each year is no easy task – it’s an art I tell you! An art that I’m still perfecting even after 6 years of “modeling”.

How I spend my Christmas

The Christmas festivities have come and gone, but I’m still reminiscing about all the fun I had with friends and family.

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I kicked off the festivities on Christmas eve with a trip to Trooper’s house!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I had a blast opening gifts with our family, and I even gifted Trooper a new reflective vest and collar to wear during hunting season on the farm.

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Between the both of us we opened up some fun new toys like this Pickle for Trooper and a new Kong toy for me. Needless to say I confiscated both of them….for testing purposes of course!

Christmas eve of course wasn’t complete until we got a little snow! Just what I needed before I put on my pj’s and dreamed of elves and the jolly old fat man!

Before I could see what Santa brought me on Christmas morning I headed out to the farm to take care of my ponies, and I had fun watching them open their new toy from Santa!

Then it was back home to open my own presents under the tree!

Santa must have thought I was a really good boy this year (and don’t you tell him otherwise), because I got so many goodies I hardly knew what to play with first!

But before I had a chance to play with much of anything it was off to my mom-mom and pop-pop’s house to have Christmas with my cousins!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

My cousins were very nice to share most of their toys with me, although I was much more excited to get home to my own toys than playing Skylanders.

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Although my cousins did gift me this fun new duck toy, which I had a blast tearing into!

I bet you are wondering just what I got for Christmas right?

Well one of my very favorite toys was a stuffed cup of hot chocolate that my mom and dad picked up for a couple bucks from goodwill….

It doesn’t take much to make this dog happy!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I also got the new Planet Dog Snoop Toy (one of my current favorite toys, and thus far indestructible!), KONG Starpod (I already broke a hole in this one!), a Bumble Ball (which I must admit I’m a little scared of as it vibrates!), a Ruffwear Lunker Toy (which I can’t wait to try out it’s floating capabilities at the lake this summer) and several bags of cookies!

Dad also got me a new stand for my photo backdrops, yippee!

By the end of the day I was pretty exhausted! But I had a wonderful Christmas with the people (and animals) I love!

2014 New Year Goals

In keeping up with my yearly tradition I’ve decided to take a look back over the goals I made for myself last year to see how I did! I’ve also come up with a new list of goals for 2014 that will hopefully keep me on my toes!

My 2013 Goals:

1. Create some more greeting card designs for my Flying Hero Etsy Shop

Not only did I come up with a fun new Holiday card this year, but I just finished designing a whole bunch of new cards that will be available in my shop this week! Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to share my new designs with everyone just as soon as they are ready!

2. Master the weave poles for my agility classes

I’m proud to say that I officially mastered the weave poles this past year! Yay! I even worked up to weaving 12 poles at a time.

3. Compete in an agility trial

Technically I didn’t compete in an agility trial this past year, but I did get to run a new course in a new location during the Fair Hill International Event in Maryland.

4. Learn a performance that I can perform on my own at events

I practiced and practiced and performed my very own trick skit during the Spring Doxie Fest last year in support of the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue! It was a lot of fun and I think everyone enjoyed it!

5. Make every day count!

Looking back over everything I’ve done this past year I think I have this goal down! From trips to the beach, road tripping, paddleboarding, and enjoyable days on the farm – I packed in as much as I could this past year and it was such a blast!

  2. Go on more walks around my neighborhood
  3. Take a trip to the dog beach again
  4. Compete in a Barn Hunt Competition
  5. Take a new training class
