Early Spring at the Lake

Posted on by

In Pennsylvania we’re having an early Spring this year. Even though today is the official first day of Spring, in the weeks leading up we’ve been having glorious 70 degree weather.

I’m all about this warm weather, which is why yesterday I decided to take a trip with my ponies to Marsh Creek State Park.

Blitz and Boomerang went for a little dip in the lake while I got to do some exploring.

Did you know that it smells like fish at the lake? I don’t know about you, but I LOVE fish.

Even though I really wanted to do some fishing, the water was a bit chilly for me.

I didn’t catch any fish this time, but I did find a stick. Highlight of my day!

I also found this neat rock.

And then I got really brave, and actually took a dip in the lake!

Next time I plan to bring a raft so I can float out just as far as the ponies can! And Boomerang promised me he’d learn how to use a fishing pole. I’m so excited!

Anyone else having an early Spring this year? Have you been on any Spring adventures yet? I’m already compiling my list of Summer activities that I want to do this year! Yipee! 

Shedding Ponies

Posted on by

It’s Spring on the farm, which means two things – 1. I don’t have to wear my coats! 2. The ponies are shedding! This may not sound very exciting to you, but when you don’t have to wear a coat – the Spring air puts a little wiggle in your wag. And when you have a little wiggle in your wag you find seemingly boring items (like shedded out pony hair) super fun. Just see for yourself…

Yay!

 

Friday Fetch: Pet Paint

If you didn’t know already, I’m a huge fan of paint! I hang with some World-famous Painting Ponies and I’m an artist myself.

So when I stumbled upon this next great product (after seeing it first on BlogPaws), I knew I had found something to really get excited about!

Hoof Trimmings

Posted on by

Last week on the farm I found a sweet surprise!

The farrier had been to the farm and left behind a hoof trimming – which is a real delicacy for us dogs!

As you can see my friend Boomerang thought it was quite comical that I was chewing on a piece of horse hoof – I’m sure he was thinking “if you only knew where that’s been”. But Boomerang, you forget, I know where you’ve stepped – and I like the taste of horse manure too! hehe. 

Traveler

Guess what! I won’t be having to build any Super Forts in my basement anytime soon….because I’m traveling along with Painting Pony, Minnow, for our big trip to the PA Horse World Expo in Harrisburg, PA.

I’ve been helping mom pack the horse trailer all week – with what seems like the entire contents of Minnow’s bedroom. How many bags of cardboard bedding does he really need anyway?

I’m pretty sure we have everything for our trip….

…and perhaps a few stowaways too! (wouldn’t be the first time). 

 

You can visit me at the Pa Horse World Expo Thursday – Sunday at booth #607 & 608 and also keep up with all of my adventures during the event on my Facebook page. Visit the blog next week to hear about all the fun I had!

Hay is for Horses

Posted on by

During the winter months, the ponies require hay – since there isn’t really any grass for them to eat.

I’m all for giving my ponies what they want…..but they sure do eat a lot.

Just look how much hay I had to throw down from the loft the other day!

But, when I see Boomerang’s smiling face…..

The Cheese to my Macaroni

When I’m on the farm Cricket likes to do everything I do. She’s like the Cheese to my Macaroni, the Icing on my Cupcake, and the Ketchup to my French Fries all rolled into one.

When I climb logs, she climbs logs.

When I sniff scents, she sniffs scents.

And when I get lost in the depths of the giant scary log pile, she’s the one that’s sent to rescue me.

Thanks Cricket, for being the ever-lasting Cheese to my Macaroni!

My New Office

Posted on by

Being a Blogger (and facebook celebrity) pretty much means that I spend a lot of time locked in my office writing away. Only up until recently my blogging space wasn’t really up to my amazing design standards. So after some begging and pleading, and a few sad puppy faces, Mom and Dad agreed to give my office a makeover.

Welcome to my new office, won’t you join me for the tour?

Fabulous right? The best parts are in the details, because it’s quite obvious that my personal style (and overall good looks) have taken over the space completely….

A is for Ammo and everything that is awesome!

My Reserve Champ ribbon from the Keystone Dachshund Races last year proudly hangs on my cork board along with my favorite photo of me and Minnow the Chincoteague Pony.

Everything about my new office is happy and bright….just like me!

At the end of the day, the most important thing is the function – and after taking it for a test spin, my new office passes the Ammo the Dachshund standards test.

Suddenly I’m inspired to be way more creative – building more rocket packs, digging more holes, and painting more pictures.

There’s adventures to be had right outside my window!

Just as soon as I finish my afternoon nap!

My pony & me

Posted on by

There is one thing on the farm that gets my tail wagging more than anything else.

His name is Minnow, and he’s my very special pony.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

My love for him is so great, that I can’t help but go bounding through the fields in excitement!

ammo the dachshund and minnow

Sometimes when I hang out with Minnow I like to pretend I’m a pony too. Nibbling grass all day long.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

Then other times I get bored of being a pony and I like to do dog things with Minnow.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

Minnow’s not so great at playing fetch though, but I can still pretend.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

At least I don’t have to worry about him stealing the stick from me – he’s really great at sharing like that.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

Sometimes I just love spending so much time with Minnow that I really don’t want to leave.

ammo the dachshund and minnow

I secretly always hope that I get to have a sleepover with him, because mom doesn’t even notice me out in the pasture since I look just like all the other ponies. A boy can dream can’t he?
