A Dog and His Girl

While it’s true that Baby P and I have already been on so many adventures together (I did after all take her on her very first 14 hour road trip), it wasn’t until fairly recently that she REALLY started taking an interest in me. Yes, she’s loved me from day 1, but now she actually plays with me!

A Dog And His Girl

I’m so excited to have a playmate, and I’m teaching her all of my favorite games (barking and tug of war mainly), just see for yourself:

I’m going to have to order her a super hero cape to match mine soon, because boy are we going to have lots of super things to do in our future together!

Bear-y Fun Adventures

You might remember that not long ago I was anxiously awaiting my sister’s arrival. Even more so because my lovely friend Suzanne had made me and my sister some lovely crochet items.

Well the time has finally come, and my sister can wear them with me!!

As you can see, Baby P was very excited that we were going to get to play DRESS UP. Something tells me there will be a lot of dress up games in my future.

That’s ok though, because anything that makes Baby P smile this much is totally worth it!

So from Cowgirls…

….to Goldilocks ….I’m ready for all of it!

And if there is a “Best Dog of the Year Award”, I’m pretty sure I deserve it. I guess I’ll also accept belly rubs, cookies, and weekend hikes as recognition too. You’re welcome Baby P.

A Parading We Will Go

Holiday Christmas Parade

A few weekends ago I took Baby P on a very special outing. I took her to her very first Christmas parade!

Holiday Christmas Parade

Holiday Christmas Parade

The real reason I’m always in attendance of my town’s holiday parade is to entertain the customers at our shop. I always do a pretty good job of that (nobody’s better than me at playing dead), and this year Baby P even helped me out by squealing and dancing for all the visitors too (only my camera crew missed catching that, shame on them). It was nice to have a little extra help, entertaining customers is hard work!

Holiday Christmas Parade

But after our duties at the shop (and more than a few diaper changes for Baby P), we hit the streets to watch the parade.

Fire trucks and flashing lights are always a favorite for me and now my sister too, but the music really gets us in the Christmas mood!

I was super excited to see some fellow low riders in the parade! Although I’m pretty sure I totally had them out dressed!

Baby P though, she got to wave to Santa! I admit, I was a bit jealous, but then I remembered that I’ve had 8 years of Santa visiting my house just for me, so I felt a little better about sharing Santa with my sister this year. Overall we had a blast at the Holiday Parade this year, and I can’t wait until next year when my sister will be running around at it with me!

Only 3 more sleeps until I get to see what Santa brings me under the tree! I can’t wait!

Adventures with Pumpkins

Adventures with Pumpkins

Ok, so I know Halloween is over and it’s now November, but I just had to share one final “October” adventure that I just know you’ll love.

Adventures with Pumpkins

See just before Halloween my mom and dad found this new orchard near my house that is super dog friendly! Because surprisingly most orchards in my area don’t allow pets, which is very odd to me.

*side note – I always call ahead when planning an adventure to find out if I’m allowed to accompany my family. You’d be surprised how pet friendly some places can be if you just ask first!

Adventures with Pumpkins

So I was thrilled to find out that I was allowed to accompany my family into the fields to pick out our pumpkins this year.

Adventures with Pumpkins

Next year I’m totally going to pick apples with my sister too! I’m just waiting for her to get a little taller so I can get a boost up in that tree!

Adventures with Pumpkins

Picking out pumpkins for everyone in the family wasn’t enough, because when it’s Halloween you have to carve them!

Adventures with Pumpkins

But since my sister is too little, and I have paws, that left mom and dad to do the dirty work. Don’t worry, I barked directions at them the whole time.

A short while later we had 4 pumpkins ready and waiting to be lit for Halloween night!

Granted they may not have been quite as elaborate as years past, but when you’re trying to squeeze in some pumpkin carving while your sister naps it’s about as good as it gets.

When We Met

Since a lot has happened when my sister was born 2 months ago on August 7th, I have a lot to catch everyone up on! So today I’m going to start at the beginning, the day we first met.

They Day Ammo the Dachshund Met His Little Sister

My sister had to stay in the hospital for 2 whole days after she was born. But finally the day came when she got to come home.

They Day Ammo the Dachshund Met His Little Sister

It was an agonizing wait for me, as I stayed at the farm with my pal Trooper while my family was in the hospital. It was especially hard when I got to smell her baby blanket days before she came home, but yet still I had to wait to meet her. Then finally it was August 9th, the day she came home.

They Day Ammo the Dachshund Met His Little Sister

As you could see in the video, I could hardly wait to meet her. I got to say hi to mom and dad first before she came inside, and I knew things were going to be different after sniffing mom’s belly when she walked in the door. My sister was out in the world now, and I was going to have to make sure she stayed safe.

Of course before I did that I had to open the present mom and dad brought me. Priorities.

(this is what I got*)

But after that, it was love. I went everywhere sister went, and made sure no one was going to hurt her. That’s what big brothers do.

Now that she’s a little bigger I’ve let go a little and I’m not so clingy. I have to learn to let her be independent after all, as there is much to teach her! Don’t worry though, if anyone messes with her I’ve got a pretty big guard dog bark!

Meet My Sister

So It’s been a little while since I’ve checked back in with all of you, but it’s been for a good reason! Many of you may have already seen the good news on Facebook, but on August 7, 2016 the newest member of my family made her long awaited appearance!

Meet Pyper!

While I couldn’t be there for the actual birth (apparently even well behaved dogs like myself aren’t allowed in the maternity ward at the hospital) Mom tells me she weighed 7lbs 7oz and was 21 inches long. That’s almost as long as me!

Meet My Sister // Ammo gets a sibling

And from the day she was born she had these super long beautiful eyelashes, you know the kind only girls are supposed to have.

Meet My Sister // Ammo gets a sibling

Nearly 2 months have passed since Pyper was born, and we’ve already gone on lots of adventures together. I can’t wait to share more about what we’ve been up to lately, but there’s a reason it’s taken me so long to even share with all of you on the blog that she’s finally here …

Meet My Sister // Ammo gets a sibling

….sister never quite got the newborn memo that napping is fun! Obviously she doesn’t take after her big brother, but don’t worry, I’m trying my hardest to teach her how fun naps can be.

So while during the day my sister is up and ready for fun most of the time, she mostly gives me my beauty rest at night by sleeping 7 – 8 hours! But this also means Mom, Dad, and I are stretched pretty thin trying to get things done at the shop during the day (while also taking care of sister) as well as all the usual fun activities we like to do that take up time.

I plan to share more of our adventures with all of you soon, but it just may take me a little longer than normal to keep the blog updated at a regular pace. But incase you were still missing your daily dose of Ammo, I have been, and always will be updating my Instagram and Facebook Pages. So make sure you’re following me on there! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

 

Adventure Awaits! So stay tuned!

Waiting for My Best Bud

Waiting for my Best Bud

Waiting is sometimes hard to do.

Especially when you’re waiting on your Best Bud to get here.

Mom and Dad say the wait will be worth it though, and I’ve already been making plans for all the fun things I can do with my sister when she gets here.

Waiting for my Best Bud

I’m just counting the days now….

…but at least I have some company for the wait!

Certified Baby Gear Tester

With the anticipated date of my little sister’s arrival getting closer and closer I’ve found myself with a brand-new, very important, job to do!

Certified Baby Gear Tester

Certified Baby Gear Tester! And I’ve totally earned the title too because I’ve been testing a whole lot of gear….

Most of these baby items have passed my rigorous inspection, however there may be a few I have to confiscate. For no other reason other than they look more like they are built for a furry little sausage body instead of a baby. 😉

Either way, I’m sure my sister won’t mind sharing a few of her baby gear items with me anyway….especially since I went to all the trouble of testing them for safety for her first!
