Spring

Posted on March 29, 2011 by Ammo

I really like Spring. Mostly because it means the door to the Sunroom gets opened. Which means I get to bask in the glorious sun….

Trust me, once mr. sunshine gets going this place heats up like a sauna. It’s glorious!

The sunroom is so amazing, because not only do I have a place to get my tan on (complete with comfy couches), but should the need arise – I have my own person door to my outside kingdom.

As you can see I use my little door it it’s full advantage. It’s very convenient for bringing in sticks and apples from my apple tree should I decide I want a snack later.

What more can a dog ask for?

Attention Shoppers

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Ammo

Attention shoppers….will someone please tell me why none of these dog toys seem to have squeakers inside? I thought the squeaker was a staple in dog toys?

Where’s the stuffing I can rip out, or the bones I can gnaw on?

I’m starting to regret saying I’d come on this shopping trip.

Mom, Dad, if you are reading this….I do not appreciate random trips to the store, when all we come back with is a very large piece of wood. Seriously. I could have been napping somewhere or chasing Leprechauns on the farm with Trooper. I am not amused. Try harder next time.

Friday Fetch: Vintage Inspired Bowls

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Ammo

Today’s Friday Fetch comes from Ancient Industries. They are noted purveyors of traditional household goods and clothing. They travel to various destinations around the British Isles, Europe and America, looking for useful objects that have been in production for decades, centuries, and millenia. And lucky for us they are also purveyors of pet goodies!

These bauer pottery dog bowls are bright and fun…just like me! Created in Los Angeles in the 1930s, the colours of Bauer Pottery were inspired by the orange grove, the palm tree, and the sky. I’d like one in every color please!

$30 each at Ancient Industries

And if you happen to be of the feline variety, they also carry cat bowls.

America’s Cutest Cats

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Ammo

I admit, it took me WAY too long to post this video. Most of my facebook fans know that back in 2010 I made a little cameo appearance on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Cats with my farm pal, Cricket. Just a short clip of a good old wrestling match between me and my gal which they noticed on Youtube and requested to use. Check it out:

You might remember that I was also on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Dogs with my favorite pony, Minnow!

This makes me sorta like a Reality TV Star then right? It’s only a matter of time before I have my own show – you better get your autographs now, before I’m swamped with paparazzi!

Life on the Farm

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Ammo

Simple snapshots of life on the farm.

It’s quite simply my favorite place to be. Where’s your favorite place?

Happy Day o’ Digging

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Ammo

Digging Digging Digging.

Oh Happy Day. Digging Digging Digging.

Yet I get the feeling I’m not alone on this happy day of digging.

Hey Spider! I see you in there!

There’s no use hiding I can see you.

I knew you were spying on me!

Well if you’re gonna follow me, you might as well put those paws to some good use and help me DIG!

Elevator Up Please

Posted on March 21, 2011 by Ammo

For me, an elevator ride usually means one thing……we’re visiting great-grandma!

Over the weekend me and Trooper took a trip to visit my great-grandma.

Trooper’s favorite part about our visits is greeting all the residents at the nursing home (and the nurses). Here we are waiting for someone to say hi to.

My favorite part is getting the “scraps” that are inevitably left EVERYWHERE!

It’s like they knew I was coming and set out a special treat just for me. Mmmmmm….cheese….

Leprechaun Gold

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Ammo

Remember when I went searching in the woods for gnomes, trolls, and leprechauns a few days ago with Trooper? Well I did it. I found the leprechaun hole! Leprechauns live in holes right?

This must be where the Leprechauns live, I can smell their gold!

I was soooo close to catching them. But they had it pretty well booby trapped with briers.

I decided I’ll have to come back when Trooper is around to help me. Unless his dainty paws can’t handle the thorns.

Mark my words Leprechauns, I’ll get my paws on that gold!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

P.S. If you find any Leprechauns today tell them I’m on to them, and I know where they live!

The Return of my Arch Nemesis

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Ammo

He’s back. My arch nemesis, THE VACUUM! I really don’t like him. I know I’m supposed to be a tough farm dog, but sometimes you just gotta wimp out.

And by wimp out I mean hide under a pile of blankies.

Dad doesn’t make it any less scary, because he insists on vacuuming the house with the SHOP VAC! And I am almost certain that the shop vac could definitely suck up a Dachshund or two.
