St. Patrick’s Day – Breaking out the Green

I know technically it isn’t St. Patrick’s Day yet, and I’m really not Irish (although I do have pretty red hair), but I just couldn’t wait any longer to break out my green!

I was also secretly hoping that my “holiday spirit” would entice the Leprechauns to come out and play!

Remember last year when I came soooo close to getting my paws on some of the Leprechaun gold?

Well, this year I decided instead of hunting down the Leprechaun “den”, I’d let them come to me.

I have a feeling those Leprechauns know how to party! And maybe, just maybe, they’ll come party with me at my house.

And if they happen to bring some of their gold along with them – I definitely wouldn’t complain.

So come join the party Leprechauns! I’ve got kibble for everyone! 

The Goods

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Which means that not only did I get to hang out with my Valentine, but I also got some goodies from my Mom & Dad – because they love me so much!

I made out pretty good this year! Mom made me some no-bake healthy treats from a recipe on Pretty Fluffy. Yum Yum.

And then I got some new dog toys from Planet Dog. These toys are my absolute favorite! So far they are pretty indestructible (which mom likes – but I’m determined to prove her wrong), and they have a minty flavor that’s oh-so-tasty. I could play fetch with my new toys for hours!

Happy Valentine’s Day to me!

So what about you, did your furry friends get lots of V-day goodies? Extra snuggles? (those are the best).

Sending lots of love your way, xoxo

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Guess what! I looked so dashing yesterday that I got a date to the Valentine’s Day Dance. Meet Amira…

Isn’t she purdy?

Amira likes all the same things I do…..hunting, digging holes, and eating cookies.

We’re a match made in heaven! Amira & Ammo…..I just hope she owns a pink Super Hero Cape!

Don’t worry though, there’s always room in my heart for all my fans on Valentine’s Day. Hugs, 

Pre-Valentines Day

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, which means I’m testing out my outfit for the Valentine’s Day Dance.

It helps if you play this song while looking at the following pictures…

Happy New Year!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s 2012 already! This year I decided to celebrate the incoming new year with a bang. And what better way to do that than with a PARTY!

I was the best dressed of course, but aren’t I always?

Ammo’s Christmas Recap – part 2

Yesterday you heard about my trip to the farm on Christmas morning and today I’m going to show you what Santa brought me for Christmas. After heading home from the farm I dove head first into my presents!

ammo the dachshund's christmas

If you didn’t already know, I’m a skilled present unwrap-per. It’s a gift really.

Just check out this fun video of me unwrapping my presents on Christmas morning:

The aftermath always looks a little something like this.

ammo the dachshund's christmas

But boy did I get a whole bunch of fabulous gifts!

ammo the dachshund's christmas

Santa brought me a super fun stuffie toy that looked just like himself, and I also got this super fun bowtie from Silly Buddy (hi Buddy!). Mom and Dad bought me some new dog bowls from Garnet Hill and some all natural dog treats from a cool bakery in New York called Bocce’s Bakery. And lastly I got gifted an awesome gift card to Yellow Brick Home, so that I can get a portrait of ME! How fun!

But my Christmas Adventure didn’t stop there. Next I was headed over to Trooper’s house, where Trooper let me play with all his new Christmas presents.

I even gifted Trooper a batch of dog cookies and my mom and dad got him a custom portrait from Yellow Brick Home too!

Eventually I made my way over to mom mom’s house where I got to watch all my cousins open their Christmas gifts.

I might have helped some with the unwrapping…

….and eventually I ended up more festive looking than when I arrived!

As you can imagine, I passed out in the car on the way home. This much Christmas excitement really wears a boy out! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family. Now I’ve got to rest up…..because this weekend is NEW YEARS! Woohoo!

Ammo’s Christmas Recap – part 1

I know you’ve all been waiting on the edge of your seats to hear about all the adventures I had this Christmas. Well wait no further, because part 1 is here! I had so much fun I had to break it up into TWO blog posts. So make sure you check back tomorrow to hear about the rest of my Christmas Adventure.

First thing Christmas morning I headed out the farm to visit my FAVORITE pony friends.

I didn’t come empty handed either, I brought them some carrots – the perfect Christmas morning treat.

And just to be sure they were PERFECT, I taste tested a few myself….only the best for my pony pals.

Blitz agreed that they were a-OK.

The ponies were also super excited because Santa had visited the farm too. Blitz told me he even got Blitzen’s autograph, and I’m so super jealous!

Minnow was ALMOST as skilled as me at opening his Christmas present from Santa.

Boomerang said that I could help him open his Christmas present, on account of all my presents were still at home. Isn’t he sweet?

I could hardly wait to head home and see what Santa had left for me under my tree!

Make sure you check back tomorrow to see what Santa brought me for Christmas!

The Aftermath

I fully intended to have a recap of all my Holiday excitement today, but the fact is I spent most of the day snoozing.

And mom says I have to clean up the big mess I made in the living room. Sigh. So you’ll just have to wait another day to hear about all of my Christmas adventures!
