The Super Hero Code

ammo the dachshund super hero

Being a Super Hero means many different things. Not only do you have duties to uphold, but you also have to live by the Super Hero Code. And since you are my friends, I’m going to share with you the super top-secret Super Hero Code. Which means this is on a need-to know basis….and I better not find it all over Facebook! *wink*

Ammo’s Super Hero Code

ammo the dachshund super hero

1. You have to look extra dashing in your Super Hero cape (spandex tights are optional – as not everyone can pull those off).

2. You have to have a charming smile that makes everyone instantly fall in love with you. (This one’s for the ladies).

3. You need to be able to bark in the face of danger (growling can be substituted if need be), because Super Heroes can’t be weenies.

4. Your greatest weapon is your nose, and a great Super Hero can smell friend or foe from a mile away.

5. You need to have bulging muscles and the ability to think on your toes.

6. You have to be smart and courageous or at least hide the fact that you like to snuggle under the covers with your mom at night.

7. All Super Heroes like cookies. (and we’re never too proud to accept donations – please see my mailing address below) *wink*

8. You must never take yourself too seriously, and laugh everyday.

9. You must have a heart of gold

10. And most importantly….Super Heroes don’t have to clean their bedrooms, pick up their toys, or brush their teeth. Did you hear that mom? It’s in the code! *wink*

 

Now go forth and be Super everyday!

Happy New Dachshund Art!

Hey pals! I’m inviting you back into my home office again today, because ever since it got a design upgrade a few months ago – I’ve been slowly adding to my art collection on the walls, and today I wanted to share with you my newest addition!

See all the happy wall of art above my desk? Can you spot the newest addition to my collection?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Guess what! I looked so dashing yesterday that I got a date to the Valentine’s Day Dance. Meet Amira…

Amira likes all the same things I do…..hunting, digging holes, and eating cookies.

We’re a match made in heaven! Amira & Ammo…..I just hope she owns a pink Super Hero Cape!

Don’t worry though, there’s always room in my heart for all my fans on Valentine’s Day. Hugs,

My New Office

Being a Blogger (and facebook celebrity) pretty much means that I spend a lot of time locked in my office writing away. Only up until recently my blogging space wasn’t really up to my amazing design standards. So after some begging and pleading, and a few sad puppy faces, Mom and Dad agreed to give my office a makeover.

Welcome to my new office, won’t you join me for the tour?

Fabulous right? The best parts are in the details, because it’s quite obvious that my personal style (and overall good looks) have taken over the space completely….

A is for Ammo and everything that is awesome!

My Reserve Champ ribbon from the Keystone Dachshund Races last year proudly hangs on my cork board along with my favorite photo of me and Minnow the Chincoteague Pony.

Everything about my new office is happy and bright….just like me!

At the end of the day, the most important thing is the function – and after taking it for a test spin, my new office passes the Ammo the Dachshund standards test.

Suddenly I’m inspired to be way more creative – building more rocket packs, digging more holes, and painting more pictures.

Paint me a Picture

I’m having sort of a lazy day today. It’s raining outside and pretty much I don’t feel like doing anything. So in my rainy day boredom I decided to share some photos of my favorite pet artists – because whats better to get you motivated than an inspiring piece of art! And after all I am an art-loving pooch (I paint my own fantastic portraits, live with a bunch of painting ponies & work in a frame shop). So without further adieu, here’s some Thursday afternoon artistic inspiration for you….

Behind the Scenes Photoshoot

It’s no surprise that I’m no stranger behind the camera lens. In fact, I’ve had mom’s camera shoved in my face since I was about 8 weeks old. Not that I’m one to complain much – usually when the camera comes out so do the cookies! So during my dapper doxie photoshoot the other day, mom filmed a little “behind the scenes” segment….mostly she was testing out the new video feature on her new camera, but regardless the motive – it caught some of the real action on camera.

Yes, I may have had a barking fit for more cookies at one point, but doesn’t every super model get at least one day to be a diva?

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!

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!

Happy New Year!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s 2012 already! This year I decided to celebrate the incoming new year with a bang. And what better way to do that than with a PARTY!

I was the best dressed of course, but aren’t I always?
