Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 11

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 11

Once again it’s time to celebrate another month in my sister’s life!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 11

I’m always right by her side for all of her milestones, and mom and dad say they even notice how much more patient I’ve become.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 11

Especially now that my sister is pretty much running all over the place (or super fast waddling if you want to get technical), I just have to sigh and take the collar pulls, pinches, thrown objects and the newest endeavor….trying to pick me up!

Mom and Dad do their best to protect me from the wrath that is “11 month old toddler”, but truth be told, I’m not always very quick to get out of the way.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 11

Sigh. Thus is the life of a big brother.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 11

You wouldn’t blame me for being slow to get out of the way though if you knew how much energy is inside this tiny little person. Coming from a dog who needs to sleep 12 – 14 hours in a day, this baby only takes one 30 minute nap a day and only sleeps 9 hours at night! Can you believe it? No wonder I’m too tired to get out of the way!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 11

Someday I know I’ll look back on these months with fond memories of baby giggles and smiles, drooling (from all the teething), and stinky diapers….but right now, I’m just very very tired.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 11

Regardless I’m still thrilled to be this one’s big brother, but her next words BETTER BE Ammo!

What do you think, do I have a chance at my name being Baby P’s first REAL word aside from the MaMa and DaDa she already says? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

It’s happened again. My little sidekick turned a whole month older! And a whole lot has changed in just one month.

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Baby P suddenly doesn’t seem so “baby” anymore. She now waves hello and goodbye to me, can give me high-fives, and even claps when I do something extra goofy. (which is like all the time apparently).

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

But the biggest change….Baby P is now WALKING! Yes, that’s right. Just a few days shy of turning 10 months she got those first few steps in. And can you guess what she was walking to? That’s right, me! (I’ll have to share the video later….although my camera crew missed the very first ones…shame on them!)

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Baby P’s favorite thing though….if you haven’t already guessed….dogs! She loves to “bark” woof woof excitedly whenever she sees a dog (or me), or even a picture of a dog. We should have expected nothing less, because I’m the coolest dog there is and it’s no wonder she thinks she’s a dog too!

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Now that she’s getting increasingly mobile I definitely have to watch my back…

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

..because her big bear hugs….

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

….and kisses seem to come out of nowhere!

Not to worry though, mom and dad are always right there yelling “gentle” the entire time. Hopefully soon she will get the hang of “closed mouth kisses” and “pinch-less hugs” so I won’t have to be on guard so much. At least I know she means well!

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

I have a feeling by next month I’ll have my backyard running playmate that I’ve been waiting for! I can’t wait!

So for everyone that wagered a guess last month as to when Baby P would start walking, it was June 5th!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

A Dog and His Girl

Posted on by

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!

What do you think Baby P and I should do for our next adventure?Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 3

Posted on by

Every month my mom has been taking photos of my little sister as she grows. I was a bit jealous at first, but then I realized my daily life has been documented in photos and videos for the past 6 years on this blog….so maybe it’s time to share the camera.

That lasted oh….5 seconds…before I couldn’t stand to sit on the sidelines anymore. So every month I’ve been having my photo taken with my sister to document how much she grows. Here we are on Monday as she turned 3 months old…

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 3

Now it seems that a lot of my fans just can’t get enough of me and Baby P, so I’m going to be sharing our monthly photos with you from here on out. But since I missed the last few, here they are so you can see how much she’s grown…

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 1

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 2

And because we just can’t get enough snuggles in, here we are this month, doing what siblings do…

Love ya sis!

So do you think my sister grew a whole bunch from last month?Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Music in the Park

Posted on by

Just a few days before my sister was born I attended one last event with my mom and dad as an only “fur child”.

Music in the Park with Ammo the Dachshund

This was the first time I went to my town’s Music in the Park event, and boy was I in for a treat.

Music in the Park with Ammo the Dachshund

See all the children at the event seemed to know that I was going to be a big brother soon, so they took it upon themselves to break me in.

P.S. How cool is this kid’s “Indiana Jones*” outfit, now that would make a cool Halloween costume! *affiliate link

Sticky faces and lots of love, I was pretty sure I could totally get used to this.

Music in the Park with Ammo the Dachshund

One last photo with my mom and dad before we became a family of 4. I had no idea how much better it was going to get.

Music in the Park with Ammo the Dachshund

Then before I knew it, my sister was here – and guess what – I got to take her to music in the park a few days later!

Here’s a short video of me attending the event before she was born, and then again when she could enjoy it too!

I’m thinking I might need to teach my sister some of my sweet dance moves when she gets bigger. I didn’t want to show her up and break them out this time, but next time for sure!

Have you ever taken your dog to a music in the park event? Did they enjoy the music? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Surprise! It’s a Party!

Surprise! It's a Party! Ammo attends a Surprise Party

Last weekend I attended a Surprise Birthday Party, well to be more accurate I hosted a Surprise Birthday Party for my MomMom. (above you can see me anxiously awaiting the arrival of our special guest with my party hat on)

Surprise! It's a Party! Ammo attends a Surprise Party

With so many guests in attendance I bet you’re thinking I was probably the life of the party (being the only dog that was invited and all). Now normally I would say you are correct, and to follow there would be lots of photos of me doing Birthday Party type things, only this time I was infatuated with one particular guest only.

Surprise! It's a Party! Ammo attends a Surprise Party

You see, my littlest cousin is about as close to the floor as you can get (at least for the humans)….so I knew that if I stuck to my cousin like glue that inevitably I would end up with some of that yummy party food in my belly.

Surprise! It's a Party! Ammo attends a Surprise Party

Surprise! It's a Party! Ammo attends a Surprise Party

Surprise! It's a Party! Ammo attends a Surprise Party

Yup, you better believe I snagged some carrots and maybe a few crackers too! And for those of you dogs out there that don’t like having children in your home….you haven’t lived until those short little people carry around food at dog height! BEST DAY EVER.

Movies in the Park

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

Last week I went on a fun “end of the summer” adventure with mom and dad to watch an outdoor movie in my local park.

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

And as if the sadness of Summer ending weren’t enough already, it was even chilly enough that I had to wear my sweatshirt!

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

But despite the cooler weather, I was still pretty excited to roll out my Park It Mat and watch the classic movie, The Sandlot.

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

There were lots of kids in attendance for the movie, but not too many of the furry four legged kind. That’s ok though, more popcorn for me!

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

Only mom didn’t bring me any popcorn (the horror!), instead I had my strawberry toy stuffed with peanut butter to snack on. Can’t say I can complain!

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

Watching The Sandlot under the stars was a fantastic way to wrap up my Summer. But don’t worry, I still have a few more summery things to squeeze in before it ends! Ammo the Dachshund

Kid Magnet

Posted on by

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the things that I love about the summer is being able to dine at restaurants with my mom and dad. Occasionally on the weekends we make sunday morning breakfasts (which accommodate outdoor seating that is dog friendly) a priority.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

This particular weekend I decided to hit up the Green Street Grill for some yummy breakfast.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

As soon as I parked myself at the dining table I began to draw attention from the other diners, in particular those that were under 3 feet tall.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

If you didn’t know already, I’m a total kid magnet!

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

Maybe it’s because I’m the perfect kid-friendly size, but where-ever I go those tiny little hands are bound to find their way onto my fur.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

And I’m totally ok with being a kid magnet, because when I’m stuck eyeballing mom’s breakfast (that I seem to never get a bite of)…..

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

….I know there will always be a kid nearby that has their breakfast all over their face and hands that totally won’t mind if I sneak a lick!

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

Afterwards, when I thought my breakfast outing was over, we headed out to the home improvement store to do some shopping.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

Little did I know that my breakfast wasn’t quite over yet, because I got to meet this little girl with delicious left-over food all over her face!

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

Being a kid magnet is exhausting, but I wouldn’t change it for anything, because someone out there has to rid the world of sticky kid hands and faces! Ammo the Dachshund

When Goats Run Races

Posted on by

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

On Sunday I attended the 2014 Sly Fox Goat Races – a first for me!

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

I hopped on the bus at the fairgrounds in the hopes of seeing some exciting racing!

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

The turnout to the event was much larger than I expected, especially since for the better part of the morning we were stuck under a raincloud.

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

I wasn’t going to let a little rain stop me from having a good time though, so I pulled up my hood and got ready for some fun!

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

First I hit up the food tent and ate some yummy Beerwurst, I’m drooling still thinking about it.

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

After my belly was full I decided to mingle and check out the goat racing competition.

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

Tension was high, as the goats argued amongst each other about who they thought would come out on top and have the honor of getting the ceremonial bock beer named after them.

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

I sniffed out all the competitors and secretly made my bets on who I thought would win.

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

I also made sure to keep looking over my shoulder, because I don’t trust anything with horns!

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

Not only did I meet goats at the races, but there were lots of dogs there too, like this big guy who had a go pro camera strapped to his back.

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

I also met this guy, Chase the mini Australian Shepherd. He reminded me of my best buddy Trooper, but much more my size!

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

While I bounced around the event I attracted quite a bit of attention from the children there (as well as the adults that couldn’t help but want to take my picture).

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

The kids were my favorite part though, because where there’s kids, there’s food!

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

Finally it was time for the goat races to start, or so I heard, because I couldn’t see anything on account of being so short! #shortdogproblems

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

Thankfully mom and dad helped me work my way to the front of the crowd so that I’d had a much better view.

When Goats Run Races // Ammo the Dachshund

And before I knew it the goats were off….well kinda. I’m not sure what I was expecting, maybe because I’m used to seeing and racing in the dachshund races – well goats aren’t quite as speedy!

It was quite comical to watch actually, and at the end of the day it was announced that the goat, Spartacus was the champion!

But in a major upset on monday it was re-announced that the new winner was Jixxer after a photo surfaced of his leg crossing the finish line ahead of Spartacus. So much drama at the goat races! I guess better luck next year Spartacus!Ammo the Dachshund

P.S. I hear the champion Jixxer is up for adoption! Maybe next year I’ll have my own goat to enter, as the ponies on the farm have been asking for a goat buddy for a long time now!
