Dachshund Tormented by House Fly

Ok, so I know you probably think of me as this big brave Super Hero, and I am! But sometimes I come up against some unexpected evil that throws me for a loop. And that evil is called House Fly.

Ammo the Dachshund Tormented by House Fly

As much as I hate to admit it, I spend many hours hiding in the shop from these horrible creatures that find their way inside.

Mom tries her best to catch those darn flies that make my life a nightmare, but sometimes there is just one that seems to outsmart every capture device there is. So I finally decided to dog-up and fight back…

Well unfortunately that House Fly lived to fight another day! Until we meet again nemesis, this time I’m ready for you!

I’m sure you’re going to love this month’s napping spots!

…and even floppy tug toys! This little fox is actually my very favorite from the line, I’m a master tugger that’s for sure.

Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Toys + A Giveaway

One toy in particular brought out the little devil in me, because of course I’m always the sweetest boy ever, and normally I would NEVER do anything naughty.

Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Toys + A Giveaway

But with a little coaxing from my new friend, I decided to scare mom and dad by blending into my new toy pile (just like in the movie E.T.) and popped out just at the right moment to scare them! After all, that’s what Halloween is all about!

Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Toys + A Giveaway

The Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Line not only has spooky toys, but they also have some adorable pet bowls too.

They’re all adorable, but I have to say the Eyeball Pet Bowl is my favorite!

Martha Stewart Pets also sent along one of their fun Halloween Costumes too, but since it was a little too snug on me, my friend Bones here decided to help model it.

Bones was looking a little chilly (I think he lost weight), so he was thrilled to have a Vampire costume to help cover him up a bit.

Oh Bones, isn’t Halloween just the greatest?

Birthday Week: Ammo’s Year 6 Video

One of my favorite things about Birthday Week is having the chance to look back over my past year of life. As sad as my mom and dad are that I’m another year older, it’s always fun to reminice about all the amazing adventures I had over the past year. And boy did I have a lot of adventures!

Birthday Week: Happy 7th Birthday to Ammo

So just like last year, my mom helped me compile a video to highlight some of my favorite adventures from my 6th year! So if you’ve got 10 minutes, you’ll definitely want to watch this video filled of happy memories.

This concludes my week of Birthday Fun! I’ll just have to wait until next year to celebrate again. Incase you missed some of the excitement, here’s a recap:

Until next year friends! Happy Birthday to me! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Birthday Week: Puppyhood Memories

It wouldn’t be Birthday Week without taking a look back at what life was like for me when I was just a young pup.

Napping Ammo the Dachshund Puppy

7 years ago I was meeting my family for the first time, and the best part is that it was all caught on camera! The quality may not be great, but I’m so glad my mom and dad were able to capture these special memories.

So here’s a fun little video with a look back on some of the very first days with my family (including some never-before-seen footage!).

My mom and dad had a blast last night looking through old footage of me as a puppy. Their only regret is there isn’t more!

Birthday Week: DIY Dog Bone Art

Birthday Week isn’t over yet my friends! We’re just getting started! Today I’ve got a super fun tutorial for some DIY Art you can make to brighten up your own home.

This DIY Dog Bone Art is easy to make, and so fun and cheerful too!

Birthday Week: DIY Dog Bone Art

Step 1: Choose 2 milkbones and spray paint with your favorite color

Birthday Week: DIY Dog Bone Art

Step 2: Optionally you may choose to paint your frame the same color as well, or leave it as is.

Birthday Week: DIY Dog Bone Art

Step 3: Once your paint is dry, remove the glass from your frame and add either a piece of colored mat board (which is what we used) or some colored paper. If you use colored paper make sure it’s glued down to something stiffer like a piece of cardboard.

Birthday Week: DIY Dog Bone Art

Step 4: Using an adhesive, glue your milkbones in place on the frame.

Birthday Week: DIY Dog Bone Art

Step 5: Hang and enjoy!

Birthday Week: DIY Dog Bone Art

Just remember, even though your milkbones are now painted, they still smell like cookies to us dogs! So don’t display them anywhere your dog could get to them.

Mom has already told me many times I can look, but I can’t eat! (Apparently this art project isn’t interactive).

Birthday Week: DIY Dog Bone Art

Despite the fact that this new DIY Dog Bone Art isn’t edible, I have to admit, it does add a little happy to my home!

Birthday Week: Presents, Presents & More Presents

Since my official Birthday was on Monday (I’m 7 woohoo!) I bet you’re all wondering what exactly I did to celebrate the special day. So I made this fun video to show you just how things went down on the anniversary of my birth…

As you can see other than opening my presents I did a whole lot of napping in the sun around the farm with my buddy Trooper. It wasn’t exciting, it wasn’t adventurous, but it’s exactly what I wanted to do on my Birthday!
