Sound Proof

Sound Proof - Ammo the Dachshund is a Seasoned DIY Dog

Trips to my local hardware store are a pretty common occurrence for me. I’ve come to look forward to perusing the isles for all the special DIY materials mom and dad are looking for for their next big project.

The employees always seem surprised with how well behaved I am and how unfazed I am with all the loud noises going on in the lumber department.

I just smile and nod, because I’m pretty much sound proof at this point thanks to all the DIY projects mom and dad take on!

Is your dog completely unfazed by loud noises like me?

Practicing in Public

Posted on April 18, 2016 by Ammo

Practicing in Public - Ammo the Dachshund visits Lowes

It’s that time of year when it seems I find myself visiting the hardware store almost every weekend. Mom and Dad are always coming up with projects that need to be done around the house in the Spring. Mom says it’s the perfect place for me to tag along and practice all my “behaving in public” skills, as I inevitably get a little rusty over the winter.

I beg to differ on the “rusty” part, I mean just look how good my sit/stay is!

I’ve also got the healing next to the shopping cart down too!

And my self control (even when I smell critters in the garden center) is pretty good too (well most of the time!).

But the very hardest part for me……trying to keep up with Dad in the hardware store! #ShortLegProblems

Does your dog go on public outings with you?

End of Summer Adventures

Posted on September 10, 2014 by Ammo

Summer is quickly coming to an end (how sad), and although there is lots to look forward to in the fall I’m still going to miss all the summertime fun. So I’ve been packing in as much excitement as I can!

I’ve been spending time with my favorite pony, Minnow, while he munches on the last bits of summer grass.

That Minnow is always trying to hog the camera with his cheesy smiles!

I’m also squeezing in trips to the hardware store – to help mom and dad finish up all our summer projects around the house.

I’m also taking as many trips to the lake with mom and dad that I can. Pretty soon it’ll be much to chilly on the water for me!

Mostly I’m just enjoying the warmth…..all before I have to break out my cool weather wardrobe!

What are you going to miss about the summer once it’s gone?

An Average Weekend

Posted on July 31, 2013 by Ammo

An average weekend for me is probably actually not that average. See my family is always on the go go go, and one weekend adventure always leads to another.
