Dachshund Finds Way to Make Biggest Mess Ever

Posted on by

Over the weekend mom and dad decided to put together a new piece of furniture they purchased.

Of course as you know, I’m never one to not help out when there is a project at hand. So while mom and dad were busy assembling furniture in the other room, I decided to help disassemble the empty boxes for them.

Mom and dad had a good laugh when I was done “helping”, although I’m not sure why.

And I still don’t understand why I was immediately plopped outside after my box destroying duties. Sometimes my skills just aren’t appreciated around here.

So make sure the next time you have a box destroying need you give me a shout! I’m happy to go where my expertise is appreciated! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Surprise! It’s a Party!

Surprise! It's a Party! Ammo attends a Surprise Party

Last weekend I attended a Surprise Birthday Party, well to be more accurate I hosted a Surprise Birthday Party for my MomMom. (above you can see me anxiously awaiting the arrival of our special guest with my party hat on)

With so many guests in attendance I bet you’re thinking I was probably the life of the party (being the only dog that was invited and all). Now normally I would say you are correct, and to follow there would be lots of photos of me doing Birthday Party type things, only this time I was infatuated with one particular guest only.

You see, my littlest cousin is about as close to the floor as you can get (at least for the humans)….so I knew that if I stuck to my cousin like glue that inevitably I would end up with some of that yummy party food in my belly.

Yup, you better believe I snagged some carrots and maybe a few crackers too! And for those of you dogs out there that don’t like having children in your home….you haven’t lived until those short little people carry around food at dog height! BEST DAY EVER.

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm

Winter Storm Jonas on the Farm with Ammo the Dachshund

My fun day in the snow after winter storm Jonas last weekend didn’t end after I helped my dad dig us out, because my ponies on the farm needed to be cared for too!

So Trooper and I bundled up and got ready to help with all the farm chores!

Once all my ponies were fed, and the stalls were mucked, it was time to have a little fun.

And just like that we were off! (bet you can’t even spot me way up ahead of Trooper…he can never catch me!)

Boomerang is always our first stop, because he’s ALWAYS up for a good time in the snow.

His toothy grin pretty much says it all, and I’m pretty sure he wishes it was a snow day everyday.

Even my pal Minnow wanted to get in on the action.

Trooper did pretty well keeping up with Minnow despite the deep snow…

….I of course tried my little heart out to keep up too, but lets face it, 26+ inches of snow is not exactly friendly to us short dogs. #shortdogproblems

So I relegated myself to the spectators side of the fence to get a better view of the pony show.

And my pal Minnow did not disappoint! He put on a grand show for me in the snow.

Overall it was a perfect snow day on the farm with my ponies. I can’t wait to do it again soon! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Thanksgiving Road Trip: Skim Boarding Dogs

Posted on by

Back in November I went on a fun road trip adventure with my family and best pal Trooper to South Carolina. While true, it’s been nearly 2 months since then, I still have one last adventure to share with everyone, and it’s a fun one!

Thanksgiving Road Trip: Skim Boarding Dogs

Despite the fact that it wasn’t exactly SUPER warm down south my Uncle Taylor always likes to get us dogs excited about having a splash in the ocean when we hit the beach.

Since I’m never one to miss an adventure I didn’t hesitate one bit to jump into the cold water and have a little fun.

Thanksgiving Road Trip: Skim Boarding Dogs

Uncle Taylor taught me everything there is to know about skim boarding.

And I made sure him and Trooper didn’t drown in the process!

Do you think your dog would be as excited about skim boarding as Trooper and I are? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Dog Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade

Dog Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade

Last weekend crowds of people began gathering outside the door to my family’s shop in town. As much as I was hoping they were coming to visit the cutest shop dog in town (that’s me in case you were wondering), they were arriving for a different reason.

Dog Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade

It was Christmas parade time!

Dog Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade

This year’s parade was a little different, because if you’ll note my attire….it was nearly 70 degrees! That’s unheard of for December in Pennsylvania.

Dog Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade

Warm weather or not, I wouldn’t have missed the parade anyway….as I haven’t missed one since I was born!

Dog Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade

Especially because the fire trucks are always my favorite. That siren gets me howling EV-ERY time!

But the real excitement is always when just before sunset Santa and Mrs. Clause show up.

And this year. This year….he pointed right at me!

I told you me and Santa were BFF’s!

Shopping with a Small Business

Posted on by

This holiday season I wanted to thank everyone out there that has supported small businesses. Being that I work in my mom’s small business, and I also run my own online shop, small businesses have a special place in my heart.

Shopping small businesses

Because honestly, you can’t go to a big box store and be greeted by a happy tail wagging dog like me!

As you can see, I’m a pretty hard-working pup!

Don’t forget to shop small this season, and support your local businesses. 🙂 Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity
