Farm Duty

On the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes when we are out on the farm my buddy Trooper tends to be a little bit of a lost soul. He mopes around with that towel in his mouth, unsure about what to do next.

But Trooper is a herding dog, so I know when he has his towel he just really needs to be put to work. So lucky for him I’m an expert at putting my buddy to work.

All I have to do is point Trooper towards the ponies and he’s stuck to them like glue.

Well, at least until he gets tired – so that’s why I have to keep my eyes on him at all times and make sure he keeps working.

Now that my Trooper babysitting duties are fulfilled I can get back to what I really love to do on the farm!

Popovich Comedy Pet Theater

Posted on March 18, 2013 by Ammo

Over the weekend my mom and dad went to a very special event (which I was not invited to – the nerve) called the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater. It sounded like so much fun that I thought I would share their adventure with everyone, even if I didn’t get to see it with my own eyes either.

Popovich Comedy Pet Theater // Ammo the Dachshund

The World Famous Popovich Comedy Pet Theater is a family-oriented blend of the unique comedy and juggling skills of Gregory Popovich, and the extraordinary talents of his performing pets. Each of the show’s 15 cats and 10 dogs were once strays, rescued from animal shelters. Now they love to show off onstage – by performing a variety of stunts and skits!

The event that my mom and dad attended also helped to raise money for the local SPCA by donating a dollar from every ticket to the shelter.

This amazing event featured lots of dogs and cats performing fun and exciting stunts, and they even had a whole act just with dachshunds!

I’m sad to have missed it myself, but glad that mom and dad were able to go and support the rescue animals. Mom even said it gave her some ideas to add to my own stunt dog act which I will be performing at the end of April to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. You can read more about that HERE.

Throwback Thursday: Tiny Wrestler

Posted on March 14, 2013 by Ammo

I’ve always been a little scrappy from the very beginning. It all started with the wrestling matches I shared with my best friend Trooper.

Mostly I was the instigator, and boy did we love to wrestle (and still do). But for as hard as we fight…..

….we always love each other at the end of the day!

Happy Thursday everyone!

A Little Green // St. Patrick's Day with Ammo the Dachshund

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, so I decided to make sure I had the perfect green outfit to wear for the big day. It never hurts to be prepared.

My clover tie was looking great, but I knew it needed a little something.

Oh yes, the top hat totally makes the outfit!

I’m ready for my night on the town with my Leprechaun posse. Don’t tell mom, but we like to get into a wee bit o mischief on St. Patrick’s Day. Only 4 more days to go!

Sigh, I’m not sure I can wait that long!

Missing the Farm

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Ammo

Those of you who are regular readers of my blog know that I’m a pretty active guy. I’m always going on exciting adventures, taking training classes, and generally just running around (boy do I love to run). But ever since Mom had surgery I’ve had to stay home a lot to take care of her. I don’t mind taking care of mom (and the good news is only 2 more weeks before we can return to regular adventures), but I do very much miss some things, like visiting my friends on the farm.

Missing the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

The good news is, Mom was missing the farm just as much as me, so over the weekend we took a trip out to visit all of my friends.

Missing the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

The Chincoteague Ponies missed me the most, and I missed Boomerang, Blitz, and Minnow just as much!

I also missed running! So I ran and ran and ran!

I also helped do farm chores, like herding the horses out to the pasture.

And then I ran some more! (Check out how much further along Trooper’s new house is! I can’t wait to give you the tour once Mom can walk a little better).

Trooper and I also did some wrestling. I won as always.

Then I spent the rest of my time on the farm helping to brush Minnow, my favorite pony in the whole wide world!

My time on the farm came and went too quickly. But I know soon we will be back to visiting my friends nearly every day – and it will be Spring! I can hardly wait!

Throwback Thursday: The Head Tilt

It’s Throwback Thursday time! I dug through my old puppy photos and pulled out these gems to share with you today.

Did you ever find that perfect sunny spot in the house? You know the one, it’s warm and soft, and makes you just want to snuggle up and close your eyes.

There really is only one thing that can drag me from a sunny spot…..COOKIES!

Do you have any? Because I’d gladly lend you my sunny spot for the afternoon if you did! *wink*

The Harlem Shake with Ammo the Dachshund

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Ammo

The latest meme floating around right now is The Harlem Shake, a song that has sparked a series of dance videos to an instrumental song produced by the artist Baauer. And since I’m never one to miss out on a meme, I decided to do my own rendition.

I bet you are mad impressed with my dance skills right!? I’ve been practicing if you can’t tell.
