Epic Battle

ammo and trooper

Me and Trooper were hanging out at the farm last night, picking up leftover grain under the feed tubs, when we suddenly remembered we had something really important to do.

ammo and trooper

We had an epic battle to attend to….of Jedi vs. Jedi in an ultimate lightsaber battle of wits!

Let the battle begin!

It was pretty intense, so I had to take frequent refueling breaks at the water bowl. A Jedi can’t fight thirsty afterall.

The battle lasted for hours…although we could have gone on for days. But in the end….

….somehow we both ended up snuggled next to each other on the couch. Honestly, I have no idea how we got there – it must have been one EPIC battle!

 

Super-Duper Halloween

ammo the dachshund super hero

You may be asking yourself why today of all days I’m dawning my fashionable super hero cape and stunt helmet.

ammo the dachshund super hero

Sadly it’s not because I have any damsels in distress to rescue today, nor do I have any dragons to fight. No, it’s something much more important than that.

It’s Halloween Party time! Wooohoo!

Mom and Dad are hosting a Halloween party this year, and the theme? Super Heroes of course!

I’m still working out my wardrobe selection, but I definitely think I’m in the running for best dressed!

Kings in the Corner

I may not be a regular like Trooper, but I’m no stranger to a nursing home visit. And when I do visit, it’s the highlight of my day!

Getting to ride the elevator is so much fun, especially when mom lets me press the button!

Then me and Trooper get to spend time visiting with everyone – and posing for the mandated photo op.

Everyone always has a good time, because honestly, who doesn’t love a Dachshund in a sweater? But at the end of the day I really only came for one thing……

….to whoop everyone at Kings in the Corner!

Swimming and Dining

Don’t worry, when I took a dip in the Brandywine River over the weekend I made sure to swim BEFORE dining out.

Ah! That was just the right amount of refreshing on an 80 degree fall day!

Dinner out at Appetites was grand, although the waitress failed to listen when I ordered the steak! At least mom was willing to share her hot ham sandwhich with me. Yum Yum.

 

Birthday Week: More Gifts!

Just when I thought there were no more presents to be had during Birthday week I got an extra special surprise in the mail all the way from Canada!

ammo the dachshund - glowdoggie

Leila & Harriet from Glowdoggie sent me one of their new neon green mini collars for my Birthday! Aren’t they so sweet. And they must have known how much of a spoiled sport Trooper is too, because they sent one along for him too.

I’m pretty certain that we will be playing “star wars” with our new “light sabers” out on the farm very very soon.

So thanks girls! I’m sending some wet nose kisses your way!

Mom also surprised me with one more gift (which hasn’t quite arrived yet…..shame on her for ordering too late) – it’s a new Molly Mutt duvet cover! Now I just have to decide whether to put it on my dog bed at home – or in the shop…..hummm decisions, decisions.

And because every good party host has party favors for their guests – here are some deals offered up especially for all my friends….

After work I headed out to the farm where Minnow and all my pony friends sang Happy Birthday to me! I won’t lie, I made them sing it twice just for kicks.

Then back at home I FINALLY got to open my Birthday gifts from mom and dad.

Mom baked me some very special Birthday Bones and I got some new toys to play with too!
