Dirt, Tunnels, and Spring-time Baths

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Ammo

Sometimes I’m completely perplexed as to how I land myself in the bathtub at the end of the day. However, this was not one of those times.

See last week the ponies had a new “obstacle” set up in the arena that I just couldn’t keep my paws off of.

It’s enticing “dirtiness” and tunneling capabilities were just calling my name.

And when Boomerang pointed out that I had a little something on my face – I knew my trip to the bathtub was inevitable.

Sigh. At least smelling like sunshine again isn’t all that bad.

Little Super Hero on the Wall

You might remember that for Christmas I got a special little gift card from my Mom & Dad to get a custom painting of myself from Yellow Brick Home. Well, a few days ago a little package arrived at my door from the very talented Kim Vargo.

I couldn’t believe how much it looked like me! Mom says she even captured the special feisty little look in my eyes.

After modeling for a few photos with Mom and sending Kim some of my favorites from years past, I was so excited to see the results. Kim even said I was the very first Super Hero she got to paint! (I’m the cutest too, right?)

Mom hung it up in my home office for me, and I really can’t help but stare at it all day long!

Oh handsome little hero on the wall – you are just way too cool!

My New Office

Posted on January 31, 2012 by Ammo

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.

There’s adventures to be had right outside my window!

Just as soon as I finish my afternoon nap!

Friday Fetch: Good Clean Dog

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Ammo

After my recent run-in with my best friend Trooper (who decided my head looked like a fire hydrant), it got me thinking about bath time products. Good Clean Dog has a line of all natural cleaning products that are safe for dogs with sensitive skin. And while I don’t specifically have sensitive skin, it can’t hurt to make sure I have only the best natural products being put on my beautiful red hair!
