So without further ado, here’s my list so far….but don’t worry, there are many many more things to add to it!

So as you can see, being a Dachshund is definitely not easy!

Painting with Minnow

Posted on July 10, 2013 by Ammo

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

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!

I did a pretty good job helping Minnow make a mess now didn’t I?

Check out more of the famous paintings by Minnow and his pals at www.PaintingPony.com – also make sure you follow them on Facebook!

Giveaway: Canvas Prints from Printcopia

Posted on November 1, 2012 by Ammo

**This Giveaway is no longer accepting entries.** Congrats to our winner, Annie H. who plans to get a print made of her lab/doxie mix, Marshmellow!

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by my pals at Printcopia, an online resource for getting your photos made into canvas prints and other printed materials. They offered up an 11″x14″ canvas print, so I could take their services for a whirl. Being the art-loving pooch that I am, I surely couldn’t pass up the opportunity!

But before I could order my canvas print I had to choose which photo to use – not such an easy task when your parents take hundreds of photos of you on a weekly basis.

After pouring over thousands of photos of me I finally settled on this one taken during one of our big blizzards a few years ago. Adorable isn’t it? You can ooooh and ahhhh if you like.

Then I hopped on the computer and proceeded to go through the process of ordering my canvas print from Printcopia.

After uploading my chosen photo I had the option to resize it. I also noticed you can even easily upload photos from Instagram and Facebook, which makes the process even easier!

Then I selected a border option (I chose to mirror my image) for how my photo would look on the edges of my canvas & picked a display method too. Finally it was off to checkout, with the promise that a week or so later my new print would be arriving in the mail.

When my canvas arrived I could hardly wait to put it on display in my house! I love it so much that I’m already dreaming of which of my favorite Instagram photos I’d love to get printed to hang on my wall.

And now because it’s your VERY LUCKY DAY! Printcopia has offered to giveaway an 11×14 Canvas Print to one Lucky reader! How awesome is that?

Blogging in the Great Outdoors

Posted on June 12, 2012 by Ammo

On the weekends when I’m at home I like to spend a lot of my time outdoors, especially in the summer.

In the past it had always been a real drag when I had to come inside to do my facebooking and blogging though.

But with the addition of my new outdoor sofa, I now have everything I need to get some work done in the great outdoors.

I can survey my yard AND update my Facebook page at the same time! How glorious!

I can’t help but smile to myself when writing about all the adventures I had over the past week.

I even chuckle at all the things I have done in the past, like when Trooper and I had an Epic Jedi Battle, or when I dug a Super Weenie Hideout Cave, or even when I trained Trooper to be a Super Dog. Oh what wonderful adventures I have had!

Don’t worry though, I foresee many many more adventures in my future – coming right at you from the comfort of my sofa in the great outdoors!

Upgraded

Posted on February 10, 2011 by Ammo

Mom was a little bit behind the times – in regards to her phoning capabilities.

I may have had a little something to do with those “scratches” on mom’s phone. In my defense, flip phones are extremely hard to navigate when you have paws!

And forget about texting….it was nearly impossible for me to accomplish! Thankfully it was time for an upgrade, via the iPhone 4! Yipee!

Mom said she’d show me how to use it for twitter, facebooking, checking my e-mail, posting artwork in my shop, and updating my blog. I can’t wait! Perhaps I should wear gloves this time though….just to be safe.
