Stink Happens

Posted on by

As some of my facebook fans may have already seen, I had a glorious time over the weekend, and it looked a little something like this:

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

Oh yes, it was the perfect combination of horse poop, mud, dead animal, and wet!

I was basking in the glow of my dirtiness, and so excited to show mom and dad, that is until the word BATH was mentioned!

“But mom, it’s the perfectly pungent summertime aroma – I know, because I smelled it”.

My pleas were unheard as I found myself in the ponies’ wash stall – it was utter disappointment.

When it was all over I smelled like roses and sunshine……it was HORRIBLE! Oh well, live to stink another day! Ammo the Dachshund

I was born to dig. It’s in my blood and it’s why I was given these wonderful shovels for paws!

Construction on the Farm

Ammo the Dachshund // Construction on the Farm

The construction on Trooper’s new house at the farm has really been moving along pretty quickly. Every time I come there is something new to look at.

I was admiring the handiwork from afar, when I decided, what the hey – lets go check it out!

Up close Trooper’s new house looked solid enough.

But with these big empty rooms, there is really only one way to know for sure if it’s going to hold up to the rigors of me and Trooper’s wrestle parties.

Time to fly!

Lucky for Trooper I’m such a good friend that I tested out and approved his new home for endless bounding. It gets my stamp of approval for wrestle parties too…..although we may want to add some carpeting.

I can’t wait until Trooper’s new house is ready! I’ve already staked out a few looking windows that have a straight line shot to viewing my groundhog holes – I have my paws crossed the construction workers don’t forget to add a doggie door. I hope Trooper lets me sleepover all the time!

If you Dig, I will Come

Trooper’s new house on the farm has officially been started, and the digging of the foundation is my favoritest part!

Reminds me of how much fun I had on the farm when the barn was being built a few years ago.

Apparently you’re never too old to play in the mud!

Although, this time I hope the story ends a little better for me than it did when I was a pup. Ammo the Dachshund

Dirt, Tunnels, and Spring-time Baths

Posted on by

Sometimes I’m completely perplexed as to how I land myself in the bathtub at the end of the day. However, this was not one of those times.

See last week the ponies had a new “obstacle” set up in the arena that I just couldn’t keep my paws off of.

It’s enticing “dirtiness” and tunneling capabilities were just calling my name.

And when Boomerang pointed out that I had a little something on my face – I knew my trip to the bathtub was inevitable.

Sigh. At least smelling like sunshine again isn’t all that bad.

Muddy Buddies

Posted on by

Last night when I was hanging out on the farm I decided that the ponies were looking a bit dusty. With all the rain we had on Tuesday the ponies had taken it upon themselves to roll like little piggies in all the mud puddles. I have to say I was a bit jealous I missed out on the fun.

So, I did what any amazing farm dog would do, I decided to give my pony friends a good brushing.

I readied my brush box with all the necessary tools.

And I picked out the very best brushes for the job.

All was going well until Minnow reminded me that I don’t have hands, nor am I tall enough to reach much past the ponies’ knees. Sigh. You win this one minnow……. you win this one.

Dig it

Posted on by

Dirt. It’s one of my favorite things. Right up there with rawhides, chasing squirrels, and barking.

So it comes at no surprise that when it’s nice outside, this is where I can be found….

When I’m enjoying a good dig, nothing else matters.

Except, there is always one thing I forget about…..

The bath!

I leave you with a quote from one of my favorite movies….

“Life’s A Garden, Dig it!” Joe Dirt
