Dachshund Life Struggle

If you follow along with me on Facebook or Instagram, then likely you may have already seen my most recent endeavor, the Dachshund Life Struggle.

Now you might be wondering, what exactly is a Dachshund Life Struggle? Well my friend, simply put – it’s all the things that make being a Dachshund so-dang-hard. The struggle is real my friends, and in order to bring awareness to all the very very hard things us dachshunds have to deal with on a daily basis I’ve started compiling a list.

So without further ado, here’s my list so far….but don’t worry, there are many many more things to add to it!

Nose Art

Nose Art by Ammo the Dachshund

I may have talented paws (check out my original paintings HERE), but did you also know I have a talented nose? Oh yes, I’ve been working on my original “nose art” (seen above) for quite some time now.

It takes patience and some long long naps on the couch to perfect my technique – and the occasional bunny outside helps a bit too.

I’ve been working on this masterpiece for a couple of months now, and while it’s looking quite swell I know there is still more to add.

The Harlem Shake with Ammo the Dachshund

The latest meme floating around right now is The Harlem Shake, a song that has sparked a series of dance videos to an instrumental song produced by the artist Baauer. And since I’m never one to miss out on a meme, I decided to do my own rendition.

I bet you are mad impressed with my dance skills right!? I’ve been practicing if you can’t tell.

Dog Shaming – My Embarrassing Secrets

Have you heard of the new (gone viral) website called Dog Shamming? Essentially it’s a quirky little website dedicated to embarrassing and humiliating canines by putting our “shame” on blast for the World to see. Cruel right?

I must admit though, I did have a good chuckle at the expense of a few of these doxies….

I was having such a good time laughing my head off at these poor saps, that is until Mom reminded me that I have a few things I should be shameful of too. Who me? Yea right?

Imagination Hat – Dinosaur Land

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. On tuesday I went to outer space, yesterday I went under the sea and today I’m on a journey to Dinosaur Land!

I brought my binoculars with me, because I’m really hoping to see some Dinosaurs up close and personal!

Wouldn’t it be awesome if I saw a T-Rex? Did you know my mom and dad almost named me T-Rex (which is awesome by the way) on account of my stubby little arms.

I’m just as scary as a T-Rex too…just check out my ferocious growl! So don’t worry, should I happen upon any Dinosaurs I can totally hold my own! Ammo the Dachshund

 

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! 

Morning

Mornings on the farm can be pretty peaceful.

I’m usually greeted at the door by my partner in crime, Spider the kitten.

Most mornings she yells at my mom to feed her – while I dart inside to figure out what new adventures there are to be had.

Sometimes the only “adventure” to be had is sunbathing in the morning sun. And that’s ok.

But other days, you just itch for something more exciting. Something that makes you want to shout from the roof tops your groundhog hole. And just when you think that there might not be any “adventures” to have – the heavens shine down and your day becomes glorious again – because you found a DEAD SNAKE!

And the only reasonable thing you can think of to do……

……roll on top of that sucker until you smell just as stinky as it does.

It really turned out to be a glorious morning on the farm, don’t you think?

But don’t worry, even if you didn’t find a “dead snake” this morning the day is not lost…..

…..because I’m more than happy to mail you my dead snake – so you can also have a glorious morning too!

Super Dog vs. Super Pony – School Addition

***UPDATE*** we realize this video is being blocked for some people – as soon as possible we will upload another version. Thanks for baring with these technical difficulties!

Do you remember when I made my first Elementary School Visit with my pal Minnow back in May? Well, the day has finally come – my live performance video with Minnow is complete! My Uncle Taylor (the filmmaker) shot and edited this whole video – and it turned out really cool! Not that it wouldn’t, considering I’m the star of the show.

P.S. Minnow may have won the trophy this time, but there is no way I’ll let him beat me next time!

***UPDATE*** if you are having trouble watching the video above, try this version (without the super cool super hero music) – ON YOUTUBE

Trickery

My mom takes a lot of photos of me, like a way lot. I know it’s only because I’m so adorable she just can’t help it, but little did I know that I was in for some photo trickery!

I was just minding my own business at the farm when suddenly strange noises started coming out of mom’s iphone. Then BAM! mom snapped a photo of me!

Totally uncool.

See thanks to Pawsh Magazine, mom got to test out the new App for her iphone called Pet Pic (update- app no longer available). So instead of my usual bribes of biscuits & delectable treats to tempt me into having my photo taken – I’m being tricked by the alluring sound of squeaky toys and barking dogs. It’s just cruel!

I decided to do a little photo trickery myself. So I stole mom’s iphone and decided to test the Pet Pic App out on the ponies.

Looks like I’m not the only one who likes squeaky toys! Ha ha!

The best part is that the Pet Pic App makes kitty sounds too……hehe……oh Spider……I have a surprise for you……
