He’s silly and fun, and always knows how to have a good time. Plus he’s so much fun to wrestle with!

He’s great at keeping secrets, even if I’m not so great at keeping them.

We’re different, but the same, and I couldn’t be happier to have a best friend to grow old with.Ammo the Dachshund

 

P.S. Thanks to Mattie & Margot for sending along some matching best friend collars for me and my pal Trooper! Because best friends should always look stylish together!

Friday Fetch: Go! Pet Design

 

Modern and stylishly designed pet items is the name of the game for Go! Pet Design. While studying industrial design at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute, Peter Pracilio found himself making his first dog crate for his rescued miniature pincher who needed his own digs. He furthered his love of design and pets by creating Go! Pet Design, which sells a variety of pet items, here are a few of my favorites:

Shop Dog // Work // Ammo the Dachshund

So you may have noticed that my post was a little later than normal today. I blame it on my mom. Because while I’m laying around the shop looking like this today, she’s too busy with work to help me on the computer! I guess I could help, but it’s so hard to when all I want to do is lay like this!

Painting with Minnow

This is Minnow, one of the most talented artists you’ll ever meet, and he’s my bestest pony friend.

Painting with Minnow the Painting Pony // Ammo the Dachshund

Painting is one of Minnow’s favorite things to do, can’t you tell by that big smile on his face?

When Minnow gets ready to paint I’m never far from his side, because every great artist needs an assistant.

Trooper likes to help too sometimes, but he doesn’t always have the focus to be a great painting assistant.

I on the other hand might as well have paint flowing through my veins, and the messier the job the better!

Adventure Awaits

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

Every once in a rare while I get to spend the day at home just relaxing.

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

Dog stereotypes would state that I should relish in the fact that I get to nap all day long, but for me that’s just way too boring.

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

How can you relax when there are adventures to be had; there’s groundhogs to hunt, agility courses to run, people to wag your tail at, and cookies to eat!

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

Although thinking about all those adventures is making me a little sleepy.

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

Yawn! I guess those adventures will still be there tomorrow…

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

I think I’ll just rest my eyes a bit. Don’t worry though, because adventure always awaits just around the corner! Ammo the Dachshund
