Posted on July 31, 2017 by Ammo

Don’t you wish it could be summer forever? I sure do, because I always seem to have so much fun in the summer!

I also wanted to tell you all about the fun new magazine that my friends at Everyone Loves A Dachshund are hoping to have printed. First of it’s kind it’s called Good Hooman and it’s a Dachshund lifestyle magazine written specifically for us Dachshunds! How cool is that! You won’t want to miss it, so be sure to check out their IndieGoGo fund so they can launch the magazine – and snag one at a great introductory price!

And now onto my July Adventures..

I got my running in with my new activity tracker from Poof!

I contemplated starting my own lake school.

I celebrated yet another happy month with Baby P.

I had a blast turning my likeness into Pop Art.

I went on a shopping trip with my sister.

I shared some of the fun summer products I’m currently digging.

I visited the pool.

I got detained on the farm.

And that brings us to August! Can you believe it’s just about been an entire year since my sister Baby P was born? Boy, time really flies when you’re having fun.

What sort of adventures do you think I should go on for the rest of the summer?

On Hot Days

On Hot Days

On hot days there really isn’t anything else better than hitting the pool to keep cool.

On Hot Days

Lucky for me my sister loves pool days too, so I’ve got a best friend to keep me company while we float around.

And with one mention of watermelon by mom…..our hot summer day is complete!

What do you do to beat the heat?

Happy 4th of July // Ammo the Dachshund

I kicked things off by celebrating the 4th of July.

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

I shared my adventures over the long holiday weekend.

Certified Baby Gear Tester

I helped get ready for my sister’s arrival by testing out all her baby gear.

Security Cameras to Keep Family and Pets Safe + A Giveaway #ad

I updated the security at my shop!

Waiting for my Best Bud

I got excited waiting for my best bud to arrive.

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 16 with Ammo the Dachshund

I caught up on as much sleeping as I could before my sister arrives.

Dog Toy Troubles

I had a little trouble with my new toy basket.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

I got Beary excited for the impending arrival of my sister.

Tail Wagging Fun - Happiest Dog Ever

I had some happy tail-wagging fun.

Adventure Ahead - Baby Announcement

I got ready for my big family adventure.

August is here now, and I can’t wait to start my new adventures with my family! Don’t worry, I’ll share all the news about my sister soon (about whether or not she’s even here or not yet too!) So stay tuned!

What sort of fun did you have in July?

Certified Baby Gear Tester

Posted on July 8, 2016 by Ammo

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….

Certified Baby Gear Tester

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!

Does your dog have a human sibling they like to share “gear” with?

A Holiday Weekend

Posted on July 6, 2016 by Ammo

Over the 4th of July Weekend mom and I took a little extra time off from working at the shop. I work pretty hard, and it’s nice to take a break sometimes to unwind and have some fun. Of course my family’s idea of fun is squeezing in as many adventures as possible – so I made sure to do a little bit of everything over the weekend!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

I kicked things off with a campfire in the backyard. Because it wouldn’t be the 4th without a good old fashioned weenie roast. (don’t worry….actual dachshund wasn’t on the menu)

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Then it was time for a Saturday morning breakfast out in town, followed by catching a game of little league baseball. After all I gotta get practicing my team coaching skills for when my little sister gets here and is ready to join a sports team!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Then it was time to celebrate a very special ladies’ 92 Birthday! I loved getting to celebrate my Super MomMom’s B-day with the family.

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Family makes everything more fun!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Of course it wouldn’t be a “vacation” if I didn’t do some laps around the farm.

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Just enough to warrant a 3 hour nap of course!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

I even got to check out a hot air balloon launch. It was pretty cool, but I’m pretty happy just watching from the ground….that fire looked terrifying!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

While I’m not a huge fan of fireworks (I alternate between hiding in the basement, and barking my head off at them in anger….can’t make up my mind if I’m scared or just pissed really), I did track down some of “nature’s fireworks” with a sunset trip to the lake. Nothing better.

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

4th of July was finally here and I couldn’t miss the celebration in town. Good food and family fun, a perfect way to celebrate America!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Then it’s off to the farm again to track down some groundhogs.

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Well, and maybe do a farm chore or two too!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

And to end the perfect holiday weekend, a cookout of epic proportions….where corn on the cob is necessary for a small dachshund’s survival. (well at least thats what I would have my family think…..and you better not tell them otherwise!)

I’m pretty sure after this weekend I’m going to need to sleep for an entire week. What sort of fun did your pups get into? Any other dogs out there can’t make up their mind about how they feel about fireworks?

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July // Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t eat too many hot dogs! 😉

Summer Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

Posted on August 7, 2015 by Ammo

A few weekends ago some of my family from out of town came for a visit. Since I’m always up for a fun adventure, I decided to show them a good time with a weekend excursion on the river!

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

Just down the road from the family farm is the Brandywine River, which is the perfect place to do some river tubing on a hot day!

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

Since this wasn’t my first tubing adventure I got pretty brave and performed some dare-devilish (I was Evel Knievel for Halloween after all) stunts on the tubes by balancing on the edge!

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

I wasn’t the only one enjoying the river that day either, we even found this adorable turtle taking a dip!

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

As the sun started to set over the river I decided to trade in my tube for a canoe since it was getting a little chilly in the water.

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

I love to navigate the waters and I always have to stand at the very tip of the canoe (so I get to see everything first), even if it means that I might occasionally fall overboard. Not to worry though, I’m a pretty good swimmer!

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

Eventually we decided to park the canoe so we could take a swim in the river, which is also where I got to perform my very first water rescue!

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

Ok technically no one was ever really drowning, but how was I supposed to know that? I’m a Super Hero trained to save people, and when you’re a teeny tiny dog like me everything looks dangerous!

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

Thankfully everyone survived the rope swing, and I made sure my entire family made it back into their rafts for the remainder of the trip home.

River Tubing with Ammo the Dachshund

Well, that is until we hit a river road block! “Everyone stay with your flotation device, keep your hands inside the raft, and do not drown!”

Phew! River Tubing is stressful for a Super Hero!

Do you think your dog would attempt to save you if you were drowning? (Don’t worry, I’m sure they probably would….unless there was an alluring groundhog hole nearby of course!)

You can grab a stylish life vest just like the one I’m wearing from my friends at Ruffwear*, or check out my Gear Page for a source guide of all my stylish gear!

Posted on July 4, 2015 by Ammo

Happy 4th of July Furiends!

Don’t lie, we all know this is exactly what you’re doing today! Nothing wrong with that (I’m doing it too….although maybe not the beach part, but I sure wish I was). But I never forget to celebrate the Independence of the good old US of A too!

I’m Team America all the way! Happy Independence Day! xoxo,

Long Weekend
