Daily Adventures of Ammo the Dachshund

Posted on November 19, 2015 by Ammo

It wouldn’t be a shocker if I told you that my mom and dad have amassed thousands and thousands of pictures and video of me over the years. Sometimes those pictures and videos make it onto my blog, and sometimes they just sit on the computer – tiny little tidbits of my everyday life to look back on and smile.

Photography // Ammo the Dachshund

I thought it would be fun to share some of those unseen tidbits. A little glimpse into what everyday life is for me, playing with my toys, greeting people at work, hanging out on the farm – even the mundane can make me appreciate how very lucky I am.

So enjoy this fun little compilation video made up of clips from the past week or two…

Do you collect photos and video of your dog that never sees the light of day?

New in the Shop! Ammo the Dachshund’s 2016 Calendar

Posted on November 11, 2015 by Ammo

I’m so excited to share with you my latest project for my online shop, Flying Hero!

Due to your feedback, I’ve created my brand new 2016 Calendar in a new size and all new images!

Even though in today’s World everyone has calendars and organizers on their phones, it’s still nice to have a happy little calendar to hang on your wall.
And there’s nothing happier than looking at my face every single day!

My 2016 Calendar measures 6″ w x 12″ h and comes punched with a hole for easy hanging on your wall or cork board. (each photo of the calendar measures 6″ x 6″).

The very best part though? I will be DONATING $5 from every sale to the Chester County SPCA. Yay for helping animal rescues!

Each month features a different photograph of me and all photos are printed professionally on archival quality paper. At the end of the year/month the photos would be great for framing and hanging on your wall. (you know if you can’t get enough of me!)

Currently I’m taking pre-orders, and they will begin shipping just after Thanksgiving – with plenty of time for Holiday Gifts!

You can snag one of my 2016 Calendars from my online shop, but hurry, there are limited quantities of these and once they sell out I won’t have any more!

Autumn Adventures on the Lake

Posted on October 14, 2015 by Ammo

The leaves have changed, the weather is cooler, but that didn’t stop me from doing one last “summertime” activity that I love!

Autumn Adventures on the Lake - Ammo the Dachshund goes Paddleboarding

Just before my 7th Birthday I hit up my favorite lake one more time before I need to break out my winter wardrobe.

Autumn Adventures on the Lake - Ammo the Dachshund goes Paddleboarding

It may have been overcast, and much chillier than I’m used to on the lake, but it was still fun!

Autumn Adventures on the Lake - Ammo the Dachshund goes Paddleboarding

I just made sure to wear my tank top and life vest……and put my face in the wind a little more cautiously. Because goodness knows I DID NOT want to fall in that cold water!

Autumn Adventures on the Lake - Ammo the Dachshund goes Paddleboarding

And when the wind got a little strong, my dad was there to scoop me up for a ride in the kayak. Yay for dads!

Sadly, it’s time for me to say farewell to the lake until next year (well at least to paddleboarding on the lake). Until we meet again lake!

Birthday Week: Ammo’s Year 6 Video

One of my favorite things about Birthday Week is having the chance to look back over my past year of life. As sad as my mom and dad are that I’m another year older, it’s always fun to reminice about all the amazing adventures I had over the past year. And boy did I have a lot of adventures!

Napping Ammo the Dachshund Puppy

7 years ago I was meeting my family for the first time, and the best part is that it was all caught on camera! The quality may not be great, but I’m so glad my mom and dad were able to capture these special memories.

So here’s a fun little video with a look back on some of the very first days with my family (including some never-before-seen footage!).

My mom and dad had a blast last night looking through old footage of me as a puppy. Their only regret is there isn’t more!

Do you have adorable puppy videos of your dog? Post them on my Facebook Page because my mom says she’d love to spend her ENTIRE day looking at cute puppies!

Birthday Week: Presents, Presents & More Presents

Posted on October 7, 2015 by Ammo

Since my official Birthday was on Monday (I’m 7 woohoo!) I bet you’re all wondering what exactly I did to celebrate the special day. So I made this fun video to show you just how things went down on the anniversary of my birth…

As you can see other than opening my presents I did a whole lot of napping in the sun around the farm with my buddy Trooper. It wasn’t exciting, it wasn’t adventurous, but it’s exactly what I wanted to do on my Birthday!

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Ammo

If you’re having a bad day, or you need a reason to smile, then you are in luck, because I’m going to share with you the happiest place on Earth! You can’t help but smile when you find out where I recently took a trip to.

The Happiest Place on Earth - Ammo the Dachshund visits a Sunflower field

See where I live in Chester County, Pennsylvania we have rolling farmland practically right out my backdoor. But it’s still not everyday that I get to see this type of crop pop up seemingly overnight….

The Happiest Place on Earth - Ammo the Dachshund visits a Sunflower field

So on a warm sunny afternoon I took a trip out to a very special place with my family, a place where you can’t help but smile.

The Happiest Place on Earth - Ammo the Dachshund visits a Sunflower field

Sunflower fields!

The Happiest Place on Earth - Ammo the Dachshund visits a Sunflower field

I got to meet the wonderful family that plants these fields every 4 years (which means I’ll have to wait until 2019 to see them again!), and happily welcomed visitors to their property so that everyone could enjoy the beautiful view. I even learned that they have two dachshunds too!

The Happiest Place on Earth - Ammo the Dachshund visits a Sunflower field

There were lots of people visiting the Sunflower Fields, and just like everyone else I couldn’t wait to get a picture among the beautiful flowers (while being respectful to the crops of course).
