Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

For the second time this year I was invited to a very special lady’s 90th Birthday Party!

My dear friend Olga is one of my favorite customers at my shop, and without fail she always brings me a bag of cookies (and lots of sweet kisses) every time she visits.

So I was so very excited when I was invited to Olga’s Surprise 90th Birthday Party with all of her friends and family.

Now one thing to know about my friend Olga is that she’s one of the biggest dog (and pony) lovers there ever was. And over the years she has accumulated a lot of furry friends – including my pal Minnow who she met at one of his very first public appearances ever!

So as you can imagine there were a lot of 4 legged attendees at Olga’s party.

Olga even had her pony friend Rainy come to visit her!

Now really, a birthday party with dogs AND ponies…..best birthday party ever in my book!

Easter Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

When Easter morning arrived Mr. Bunny had left a basket of goodies just for me!

Watch the proof below:

Of course I wasted no time in digging into my goodies, thanks so much Bunny, they were lovely!

I may have strutted around the house for quite some time just showing off my new toys.

Later on my family came to spend the day with me (even by bestest pal Trooper was there) and I enjoyed seeing everyone.

It rained a bit on Easter, so I kindly offered up my dog training facilities in the basement so that my cousins could have their annual Easter egg hunt.

I’m pretty sure I had the most eggs when everything was all said and done. (It’s because of my lightning fast speed!)

At the end of the day though, I come for one thing and one thing only…..the HAM! And I have to say it was DELISH!

I hope everyone had a nice Easter with their friends and family, and I’m already looking forward to next year, but it’s far to long to wait for more ham if I do say so myself!

P.S. Thanks to everyone who shared their dogs in their Easter Bowties on my Facebook Page. I loved seeing all those happy dogs in their Easter wear after following my tutorial!

Friends Forever

Posted on by

When your legs just aren’t long enough you’re allowed to use the coffee table to play tug of war with your best friend. It’s in the official rules.

Lately I’ve been reminiscing about all the years I’ve spent playing with my best friend Trooper – mostly because next week is my Birthday, my 4th Birthday!

Ammo the Dachshund // Friends Forever

Since we met (when I was all of 8 weeks old), not much has changed. And yes, I won our wrestling matches back then too.

But despite the fact that I can easily out wrestle my poor buddy, we share a very special bond.

Even if he did steal my party hat and try eat me last year on my Birthday!

 

Stay tuned, because next week is BIRTHDAY WEEK! Eeeek! I’m so excited, we’re going to have so much fun! Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper has been by my side since the very beginning and I’m very excited to celebrate his Birthday with him today!

He doesn’t know yet, but I got him a few goodies that I guess I’ll share with him tonight at his party. I’m a nice guy like that.

5 years is a long time, but I’m very much looking forward to many more years with my bestest friend by my side.

And Trooper can look forward to many many more years of me nipping at his heels! 

Mellow Time

shilah the husky puppy

My friend Shilah the Husky puppy came to visit me over the weekend.

And although you may not be able to tell by looking at the photos, much like most puppies, Shilah is a bundle of energy.

But with me as her teacher, I’ve been showing her the rewarding benefits to mellowing out with your family. Like snuggling on the couch….

….or watching tv in the living room (animal planet of course).

I know it’s hard for her to mellow out with me, but I promised her as a compromise that this winter we’d hitch her up to my sled and do some dog sledding! Yeehaw! 

P.S. Happy 28th Birthday to my Dad! He’s sooooo old!

The Buddy System

ammo the dachshund the buddy system

My Monday post today is a bit later than normal – and that’s because when I woke up this morning it was gorgeous outside! So nice in fact, that after spending all morning on the farm my best buddy Trooper came over to spend the afternoon with me.

We told jokes, and laughed and laughed.

And we looked for critters in the back yard.

Then we napped.

And napped.

And then we napped some more.

But I realized something after my afternoon with Trooper.

Napping is so much better when you implement the Buddy System.

I’m here to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

ammo the dachshund thanksgiving

I’m excited to spend the day with my family and even my best pal Trooper. And I’m especially excited to park myself under the dining table and wait for all the food scraps to fall.

I’ve been practicing, and I’m pretty sure I could fit a whole turkey in my mouth if I had to. I can hardly wait!

On this day, I also wanted to say how very thankful I am to have so many wonderful internet friends that enjoy reading my daily adventures. Your comments and special notes make me feel oh-so-special and it makes me smile whenever I know that I was able to brighten your day.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING  xoxo your pal,

Meet and Greet

Posted on by

One of the great things about going to horse events with the ponies is that “horse people” are inevitably “dog people” too….which means that I get to make lots of new friends!

ammo and nemo the dachshund

Like Nemo the Dachshund! I instantly felt a connection to Nemo (hence why I’m giving him a kiss on the forehead) – we do share an uncanny resemblance don’t you think?

nemo the dachshund

Well, except for the fact that Nemo decided to wear his winter coat to the event. I told him it was way too hot in August for fur, but I guess he thought otherwise.

ammo the dachshund and biggie

I also got to meet Biggie, who’s name is just about as “tough” as mine. But mighty dogs DO come in small packages – and this guy is no exception! (He MAY have scared the bejeezes out me in the bathroom when I saw him walking on his hind legs, I can’t be certain, but he may be part meerkat. hehe.)
