Christmas Memories

Christmas Memories

Well, Christmas at my house came and went, and it was a fantastic whirlwind of wrapping paper, family and plenty of fun! And since I know you don’t want to feel like you missed the fun, I decided to share a recap of all my adventures.

Christmas Memories

This year of course was extra special because I got to share my Christmas morning with my new little sister, Baby P.

Christmas Memories

I helped her open all her presents from Santa, and explained to her why we aren’t supposed to be super excited when we get socks in our stocking. (although I’m pretty sure that lecture when right over her head!)

Christmas Memories

And then I helped Baby P open a very interesting present….

Christmas Memories

….it was another me!!!

I wasn’t really sure how I felt about it at first. I mean was Santa trying to replace me?

Christmas Memories

But as the day went on I realized he wasn’t all that bad. I mean after all we now out number the babies in this house….which means when it comes to take a vote on whether we go to shopping at Petco vs. Babies R’ Us me and my little sidekick here will win every time!

Christmas Memories

Christmas morning at my house was full of wonderful memories. And in case you are wondering, yes, I got lots of presents from Santa!

Christmas Memories

Christmas didn’t end there though, because my family and I were off to celebrate with all of our extended family. We ate, exchanged gifts, and created even more memories.

Christmas Memories

And when my cousins got into town, you know things got crazy!

And that my friends, is another Christmas come and gone! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Holiday Tidings

Hey friends! My sister and I are here today to share how we spent last weekend getting into the holiday spirit. You know, because it’s not officially the Christmas season until you go full on Christmas!

Holiday Tidings

Number one on the to-do list, GET THE CHRISTMAS TREE!

Holiday Tidings

Since I’m an old pro about hunting down that special tree I got to lead the expedition for our happy Christmas tree. I was a bit worried at first that all the good ones were taken, but then I found the perfect one!

Holiday Tidings

Baby P agreed, so we said Dad, CHOP IT DOWN!

Holiday Tidings

But first we had to take a xmas tree self! (everyone does it)

Holiday Tidings

Timber!

Holiday Tidings

I could hardly get home fast enough once the tree was down to help decorate it with my family!

Holiday Tidings

Before the decorating could begin though mom got us all in front of the camera for a family portrait. A special one at that because we all got to wear our Ugly Christmas Sweaters from our friends at BooHoo.com. (that’s right, they have sweaters for the whole family, even the dog!)

Holiday Tidings

Although to be fair, I don’t think they are that ugly at all! Dad got to wear one that said “Chillin with my Snowmies”, Mom’s said “Santa! OMG Santa’s Coming, I know him, I know him” (can you guess that movie), Baby P was a little too small to fit into most of the sizes on their site but she didn’t want to be left out so she wore a 5 year old size that said “Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal”. And as you can see I wore a fun holiday sweater too!

Holiday Tidings

Official Christmas Family Photo ….check! Now it was time to decorate the tree!

Holiday Tidings

The tree may have been trimmed, but Baby P and I weren’t ready to stop being Christmasy.

Holiday Tidings

With maybe a few outtakes here and there! Yay for Christmas!

You can snag a fun sweater for yourself and your pups from our friends at BooHoo.com!

All Up In It

All Up In It

Holy Cow. You’re never gonna guess what showed up on the farm the other day. My eyes caught sight of it, and I could just hardly contain my excitement. It was….

All Up In It

….a GIANT, fantastic, amazing pile of screenings!

All Up In It

Of course I wasted no time at all getting ALL UP IN IT, because there really is only one thing you can do when a big pile of screenings shows up at your doorstep….

All Up In It

…Conquer that mountain like nobody’s business.

Well and maybe dig a hole or two as well…

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Disclaimer: I was given a product from Chewy in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I bet you’re wondering why I’m dressed like a lobster today instead of in my super cool Team Zissou costume. Well there is a very good reason.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

See even though it’s Halloween I can’t go trick or treating, mostly because candy is apparently not good for us dogs. Which is totally unfair if you ask me.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

So instead I’ll be staying home tonight and handing out my own treats, these fun Boo Bars from Chewy.com

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Boo Bars made by Blue Buffalo are:

  • Oven-baked for a mouth-watering taste of pumpkin & cinnamon, and made with wholesome grains, fruits and veggies
  • Jam-packed with omegas and antioxidants for a healthy skin and coat and strong immune system
  • Made with no chicken/poultry by-product meals, just real ingredients
  • Don’t have any corn, wheat or soy, so it’s great for pups with food allergies
  • Contain no artificial preservatives, colors or flavors, just natural dog treats enhanced with added vitamins

And according to me, they taste delicious!

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

So now back to why I have this lobster costume one. See these treats tasted so good that I was worried all the little ghosts and goblins were going to gobble them up tonight. So to make sure there is plenty leftover for me I wore this lobster costume with scary CLAWS that can pinch anyone that tries to take all the cookies! Smart thinking right?

Nobody better try and steal my cookies! Just in case your dog feels the same way about their Halloween treats, you can grab them their own at Chewy.com.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Swimming in the Laurels

Hiking in the Laurels with Friends

When my sister was about 3 weeks old my cousins came to visit from the south. That little white dog is my cousin Sharkie, and the bigger dog on the right is my newly rescued cousin, Scout. And of course you know me and Trooper!

Hiking in the Laurels with Friends

Since it’s rude not to take your guests on fun adventures when they visit you, of course I had to take them to the river for some swimming fun!

Hiking in the Laurels with Friends

And don’t worry, my sister came along for the fun too. Although she was much too young to join in the water activities.

Hiking in the Laurels with Friends

Trooper and Scout became fast friends and took to the water in no time. Especially Scout who I think may be part fish.

Hiking in the Laurels with Friends

Now I tend to be a little more reserved with my swimming, and I usually don’t like to swim unless I have my life vest* on. But unfortunately this was a spur of the moment trip and I forgot to pack it! (Same with the other dogs who have life vests too).

While mom always keeps a watchful eye on me when I’m around the water, she had to watch my sister too.

Hiking in the Laurels with Friends

So my pal Trooper stepped up to keep a watchful eye on me when I finally decided it was so hot that I had to test out the water.

Hiking in the Laurels with Friends

What a great pal, making sure I got to shore safely each time.

Next time I’ll be sure to pack my life vest, but it’s good to know I’ve got friends that will help me out!

Toy Troubles

A few weeks ago mom picked me out a new toy basket*.

*affiliate link

Dog Toy Troubles

Once I got over the initial confusion on it’s intended use (I mean it “could” double as a dog bed don’t you think)….it was time to test out it’s real function in holding my toys.

This is going to be a much bigger adjustment than I thought. Perhaps some new toys for my basket with help me with this big change… *wink*

When You’re Bored at Work

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by Chewy.com. All opinions are my own and I received a product in exchange for my honest review. I only share products that I think you and your dogs will love.

Sometimes at work I get a little bored (as evident by the video above). Let’s be honest, I can’t run the machinery at the shop or actually frame a picture (these darn paws), and unless there is a constant flow of customers coming in the door I get a little restless without someone available to play with me 24/7.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

So when my friends over at Chewy.com sent me this Outward Hound Star Spinner Toy mom thought it might be a fun distraction for me at work when she’s too busy to play.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

All you need are a few yummy treats to get started. Mom used some of my kibble.

Pop them into the Star Spinner and you’re ready for business.

Mom closed it all up so that it would be more of a challenge before giving it to me.

A Smart Toy for Bored Shop Dogs from Chewy.com #ad

It also has a knob on the bottom that you can use to adjust the difficulty (how easily the star spins open), and since I’m such a smarty pants I started on the hardest setting.

Since I’m pretty used to playing puzzles and games this particular toy was a bit too easy for me, but it was still fun to play with! Mom thought it would be really great for dogs who eat their meals too quickly, because this would really slow them down.
