Posted on November 20, 2015 by Ammo

In a few days I’m heading out on my next big adventure! That’s right, I’ve been planning another fun road trip, just in time for Thanksgiving!

Ruffwear Haul Bag Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My bags are packed, and this time I’m headed toward Charleston, South Carolina for a week of fun on the beach with my family.

You might remember that I’ve visited Charleston before.…well I’m looking forward to another trip and can’t wait to spend time with my family.

Speaking of family, my best pal Trooper is also coming with me! Yippee!

If you want to make sure you don’t miss a second of the fun, be sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook where I’ll be posting pictures throughout my adventure.
And for any of you South Carolinians, anyone have any great sight seeing spots I should visit? Or tips for dog friendly adventures in Charleston?

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 8

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Ammo

It’s the best day ever! It’s time to share my monthly round-up of all the fabulous places I’ve been sleeping the past 4 weeks in my Oh The Places You Sleep Series.

As it starts to get cooler in Pennsylvania you’ll notice I’m doing a lot more blanket snuggling, and curling up. Before you know it I’ll need to break out my heat lamp to keep warm during my napping sessions!

Enjoy Vol. 8 of my Oh the Places You Sleep Series!

Chasing Squirrels

Posted on November 12, 2015 by Ammo

The other day while out on a walk through the park I spotted something that made me a little crazy.

Ammo the Dachshund Chases Squirrels up Trees

I claim it was a squirrel, mom thinks it was a leaf, and we pretty much agree to disagree.

We may never really know what was up that tree for sure, but it sure was fun trying to catch it!

Does your dog like to chase things up trees? Any brave squirrel hunters in this group?

New in the Shop! Ammo the Dachshund’s 2016 Calendar

Posted on November 11, 2015 by Ammo

I’m so excited to share with you my latest project for my online shop, Flying Hero!

Due to your feedback, I’ve created my brand new 2016 Calendar in a new size and all new images!

Even though in today’s World everyone has calendars and organizers on their phones, it’s still nice to have a happy little calendar to hang on your wall.
And there’s nothing happier than looking at my face every single day!

My 2016 Calendar measures 6″ w x 12″ h and comes punched with a hole for easy hanging on your wall or cork board. (each photo of the calendar measures 6″ x 6″).

The very best part though? I will be DONATING $5 from every sale to the Chester County SPCA. Yay for helping animal rescues!

Each month features a different photograph of me and all photos are printed professionally on archival quality paper. At the end of the year/month the photos would be great for framing and hanging on your wall. (you know if you can’t get enough of me!)

Currently I’m taking pre-orders, and they will begin shipping just after Thanksgiving – with plenty of time for Holiday Gifts!

You can snag one of my 2016 Calendars from my online shop, but hurry, there are limited quantities of these and once they sell out I won’t have any more!

Shipping & Receiving

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Ammo

Last week a box filled with packing materials made its way into the shop.

Shipping & Receiving with a Dachshund

Since I’m never one to pass up the opportunity to play in a box (don’t knock it until you try it!), I wasted no time in jumping right in.

Then I had a thought! Hey mom, since I’m already all packed up you might as well ship me to the nearest pet store. I’ll make sure to tell them to ship me back before dinner!

Happy Shipping and Receiving Day!

Meeting Mr. Bones

Posted on October 27, 2015 by Ammo

So you might have already caught a sneak peek at my new pal, Mr. Bones, a few weeks ago when he helped out with my Martha Stewart Pets photoshoot.

Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Toys + A Giveaway

Well, he actually came home to live with me in the very beginning of October. Mom says he’s from an “adoption place” called Target.

Skeleton Dachshund

While I’m not quite sure how I feel about sharing my home and toys with another dog, the good news is he doesn’t eat very much!

And just for kicks, here’s what happened when I first met Mr. Bones….

Did you catch that little “jab” I gave him. I had to give him a big ole’ bite in the spine…you know, just so he remembers who’s in charge.

Want to see more Mr. Bones fun? You can follow the #skeletondachshund hashtag on Instagram to see all the fun the other Dachshunds out there are having with their Mr. Bones clones.

Dachshund Tormented by House Fly

Posted on October 20, 2015 by Ammo

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!

Does your dog have any irrational fears like me?

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 7

Posted on October 15, 2015 by Ammo

It’s interesting how my sleeping habits change with the seasons. You’ll notice in this next installment of “Oh The Places You Sleep” that I’m not sleeping outside as much now that the weather has cooled, and I’ve gotten much more creative in where I’m finding warmth! I’m sure you’re going to love this month’s napping spots!

Autumn Adventures on the Lake

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Ammo

The leaves have changed, the weather is cooler, but that didn’t stop me from doing one last “summertime” activity that I love!

Autumn Adventures on the Lake - Ammo the Dachshund goes Paddleboarding

Just before my 7th Birthday I hit up my favorite lake one more time before I need to break out my winter wardrobe.

It may have been overcast, and much chillier than I’m used to on the lake, but it was still fun!

I just made sure to wear my tank top and life vest……and put my face in the wind a little more cautiously. Because goodness knows I DID NOT want to fall in that cold water!
