Some of you may have noticed already, but I’ve been keeping a little secret for the past couple of months, I’ve decided to open up my very own Etsy Shop, Flying Hero!

Aptly named after me, your friendly neighborhood flying hero, my etsy shop will be selling cute photographic prints, cards and even calendars (coming soon) with my mug on them!

My mom and I have been creating, making, and selling greeting cards in our retail shop for years now – but we decided it was high time we make them available to everyone.

Glamour Shots

Seeing as how I’m now a movie star with my recent Painting Pony Video Debut (not to mention I’ve been on Animal Planet too), I figured it was high time I did what every celebrity does…….GET GLAMOUR SHOTS!

So I went to my favorite portrait studio, Glamour Shots by Mom, and let the camera do it’s magic.

The camera loves me, don’t you think? I’m GLORIOUS!

Next time I’ll have to get my majestic unicorn to join in on the fun. It will be epic.Ammo the Dachshund

 

Ponies, Dogs, and Movie Stars, Oh My!

Posted on by

You might remember that back in July the Painting Ponies and I began filming for the a brand new Painting Pony DVD. And while my Uncle Taylor still has lots of editing to do before we can release our big Trick Performances DVD, I just couldn’t wait any longer to share our new Intro Video for the website.

I know you are all on the edge of your seats in anticipation, so without dragging it out any longer, here it is in all it’s glory….

And to answer your question, yes, I did most of my scenes in the nude. You’re welcome. *wink*

Sitting on the Bench

Posted on by

Yesterday mom and I snuck out a bit early from work and headed out to the farm. I love spending time on the farm, but because of my recent injury I can’t do all the fun stuff I normally enjoy. Sigh.

So instead of tagging along with Mom and Blitz and Boomer when they trailered out to ride in the Laurels Preserve I had to wait at the farm in the tack room until they came back.

Lucky for me my pal Trooper stayed to keep me company. He looks thrilled doesn’t he?

We ended up getting to play on the farm late into the wee hours of the night, which is always a treat.

So late in fact that when darkness settled around us we broke out our Glowdoggie LED Collars.

However, I was quite disappointed when mom told me that Trooper and I couldn’t play lightsabers on account of my boo boo. Sigh. How much longer do I have to sit on the bench? Ammo the Dachshund

The Half Smile

Posted on by

It’s no secret that my mom takes TONS of photos of me. Like for every one you see on my blog there are probably 20 that don’t make the cut.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Now even though I know I’m like the holy grail of cuteness when it comes to dogs, that’s a lot of photos if you think about it – and it also pretty much means that I have a camera in my face 24/7.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Now don’t get me wrong, I love having my photo taken, but sometimes I’m not always in the photogenic mood.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

No, sometimes I’m just plain tired and try as I might I just can’t muster the energy to put on a show for the camera.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

But just as soon as I decide I’d much rather take a nap during today’s photoshoot I’m reminded of all of you.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Yes, I’m reminded of those of you reading my blog in secret at work, or sneaking a peek on your phone during class, or waiting to catch a glimpse of my adorable mug on my Facebook page. And I am ashamed. Ashamed for showing you a photo of my behind – while still very adorable – it just doesn’t cut it.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

So I gathered my strength, and gave it all the effort my tiny little hot dog body had to make your day a little brighter.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

It’s my half smile. You’re welcome. Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: Beer for Dogs

Posted on by

Ok, now I know what you’re thinking – beer for dogs….not such a great idea. And I completely agree, while I don’t condone canine drinking of any kind, this is Bowser Beer for Dogs!

Bowser Beer for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Technically it’s not really beer and is instead made with:

  • USDA beef or chicken.
  • Malt barley (full of B-vitamins) –just like in your beer.
  • Glucosamine for joint health.

Bowser Beer for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

 

And you don’t have to worry because Bowser Beer DOES NOT CONTAIN:

  • Alcohol or carbonation.
  • Hops,which can be toxic to dogs.
  • Commercial broth,which contains loads of salt, fat, MSG, onions and meat of unknown origin.

Bowser Beer for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

So basically it’s just a dog friendly drink packaged to look like a case of beer. Which looks like it would totally be a blast in a glass (name that tv show)! Bowser Beer also sells Liver Pretzels – the perfect combination with a case of dog friendly beer. You can also order custom labels with your dogs photo on the front great for their 21st (or would that be 7th) birthday!

If you Dig, I will Come

Trooper’s new house on the farm has officially been started, and the digging of the foundation is my favoritest part!

Reminds me of how much fun I had on the farm when the barn was being built a few years ago.

Apparently you’re never too old to play in the mud!

Although, this time I hope the story ends a little better for me than it did when I was a pup. Ammo the Dachshund

The other day I got to take a much needed trip to Petco.

And by much needed, I mean I NEEDED new toys.

After agonizing over the perfect toy to choose I picked out these two and was excited to give them a whirl when I got home.

I was having a grand time playing with my new toys in my yard when my neighbor Harley the Rottweiler peeked her head over the fence.

New toys are grand, but having a real friend to play with is so much sweeter. Ammo the Dachshund

Play Fetch Everyday

Don’t you just wish you could play fetch all day long?

It’s these simple pleasures of summer that I enjoy oh so much. I hope you get to play fetch today too.

Sweet Hole-digging Heaven!

Oh sweet glorious day! You’ll never guess what showed up on the farm!

You are gonna pee your pants in excitement, just like I did!

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

It’s a backhoe!! As in, ground hogs watch out, I’ve hit the hole-digging jackpot.

I’m totally serious when I say this (just look at my face), this is like the greatest day ever!

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

Only one problem, I can’t find the keys.

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

I asked mom for the keys, but she said that I wasn’t allowed to operate heavy machinery without my helmet – not to mention that the backhoe was for building Trooper’s new house, not for digging groundhog hunting holes. I tried to reason with her that Trooper would be thankful I used the backhoe to rid his future home-site of those pesky critters, but it was no use.

So it’s off to plan B. Does anyone know how to hot wire a backhoe? Ammo the Dachshund
