Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 10

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

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

Well it’s happened again, that smiley little sister of mine is another month older. Boy time flies when you’re having fun!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

As you can see we are no longer sitting or laying down for our photos (apparently I’m the only one that can comply to the “sit” command) since Baby P is now cruising everywhere on the furniture and anything she can get her hands on.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

I’m also a bit concerned, because Baby P has sprouted 2 shiny teeth, and if we’re being honest, they are way sharper than mine. Which means she probably will get first dibs on all the good chew bones. Sigh.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

I guess I should be used to it by now, after all, she already steals all my dog toys too. Like this pretzel from my pals at the Barkshop*. (P.S. you can use code AMMO at checkout for a special surprise!)

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

I guess I don’t mind sharing though, because Baby P gets in trouble on a daily basis for continuing to throw food off her high chair for me. She can be very thoughtful like that. Siblings gotta look out for each other, it’s a rule.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

Mom says Baby P might be walking pretty soon and that I better learn how to pick up my toys better if I don’t want her to play with ALL of them. Secretly I just hope she breaks every last one so I can get new toys. 😉 A dog can dream.

Happy 9 Months Baby P!

Just for fun, what date do you think Baby P will start walking? Leave me a guess in the comments below, we shall see who gets the closest! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 7

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 7

Well, my adorable buddy Miss P is now 7 months old! Don’t let her sweet little smile fool you….

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 7

..she knows how to get EXACTLY what she wants with her little pouty lip. It’s almost better than my sad puppy eyes. Almost.

I’ve taught her well.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 7

In fact, I’ve taught her so well that I think she’s going to start crawling any day now! She’s a smarty pants, just like her big brother!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 7

Baby P and I are also working on her first word. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be “Ammmmo” but mom is trying to edge me out with “MaMa”. We shall see who wins.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 7

And now we leave you with pouty lips and sad puppy eyes, because Baby P and I want some snacks! Feed us please!

The Princess’ Castle

Posted on by

It’s come to my attention that I never properly shared my new little sidekick’s bedroom. After all, it took mom and I a really long time to get it just right.

The Princess' Castle

So come on in, and welcome to the Princess’ Castle!

The Princess' Castle

This is the room where my sister’s dog crate resides. I still haven’t figured out why she hasn’t jumped out of it yet!

The Princess' Castle

Although I’m pretty sure it won’t be long before she breaks out of her crate at night, because the artwork above her is totally accurate. I’m also fairly confident in saying that she’s so fierce that her “bark” might even be louder than mine!

The Princess' Castle

Even if she does break out though, I’ll be right here waiting.

The Princess' Castle

Waiting to make sure she doesn’t touch my toys, or my dog bowl, or my favorite pillow on the couch.

The Princess' Castle

Yup, that’s definitely the face of a little sister that’s going to escape her dog crate. I knew it.

The Princess' Castle

Looks like we won’t be getting any sleep again tonight pony.

#andsomywatchbegins

So what did you think of my little sister’s castle? Do you think she’ll like how I decorated it (as you may notice there are MANY pictures of the one and only me in her bedroom)! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

Now that I’m the coolest big brother ever, it’s come to my attention that to be EVEN cooler (if that’s even possible), that I need to practice my “nursery rhymes”. My sister likes when I “sing” to her, and she likes it even more when I dig holes. Well, this is perfect, because I have just the song to sing her in preparation of Spring (aka Groundhog season).

These Paws were Made for Digging // Ammo the Dachshund

Heigh-Ho
A “Cooler” Version by Ammo

I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in my hole the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what I really like to do
It ain’t no trick to get groundhogs quick
If you dig dig dig with a paw or a pick
In a hole! In a hole! In a hole! In a hole!
Where a million groundhogs live!
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
I dig up groundhogs by the score
A thousand critters, sometimes more
But I don’t know what I dig ’em for
I dig dig dig a-dig dig
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho

Much better than the original song, right?

And don’t worry, if I ever get tired of digging, I can bring in reinforcements. Happy Digging! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Does your dog like to dig as much as me?

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 6

Posted on by

I can hardly believe that it’s been 1/2 a year since Baby P was born! She’s growing up much too fast!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

While she’s now sitting up and eating real foods, and even attempting to crawl a little….there are some things that haven’t changed one bit…

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

…and that’s her love for her favorite puppy in the whole wide world, me! (She’s not even embarrassed to kiss me in front of the camera!) In fact she loves me so much that everytime she sees me I get greeted with a high pitched excited squeal. That or maybe she thinks my name is Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

We’re both already planning all of our Spring and Summer adventures…especially once she starts walking and I can show her all of my favorite groundhog holes. So much to do, so little time.

Happy 6 months Baby P! I’m so glad I get to be by your side while you grow up! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

A Very Merry Christmas with the Jolly Guy

Posted on by

Just before Thanksgiving I went on a special adventure to visit Santa! Now I know what you’re thinking, visiting Santa before Thanksgiving? But hey….

A Very Merry Christmas

…no lines! And when you have your little baby sister with you, no lines is a good thing!

A Very Merry Christmas

That’s right, this was Baby P’s first time visiting with Santa. And you know I taught her well when the first thing she did was to tug on Santa’s beard to make sure it was real. You can never be too careful these days!

A Very Merry Christmas

And if you’re thinking I let Baby P have all the fun, you would be mistaken. I NEVER pass up the opportunity to tell a jolly man in a red suit EXACTLY what I want for Christmas!

A Very Merry Christmas

Next year Baby P and I need to work on our smiles. (It’s always hard to concentrate on picture taking when you’re trying to remember your Christmas wish list). We’ll get there.

It was fun to actually have a buddy to visit Santa with this year, after all, for the past 8 years I’ve been doing it solo. Santa is always more fun with friends!

Do your dogs get to visit Santa every year?Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

I can Bear-ly Wait

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Not that long ago I received a very special package in the mail from my pal Sharkie‘s grandma.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Not only did it include this adorable handmade sweater for me, but also some super fun items for my sister and I to enjoy.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Seriously how cute are these poncho, booties, and cowgirl boots for my little sister? I just know she’s absolutely going to love them once she gets here.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

But my favorite thing of all was this super awesome bear cowl!

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Does it make me look ferocious and bear-like? Well not too ferocious, you know, because I don’t want to be scaring my sister.

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Speaking of my sister, Sharkie’s Grandma made her one too! How cool is that!

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Since I knew these beautifully made items would be so much fun for my sister and I to wear, I thought it would be appropriate to start practicing my story-time skills (with a bear theme of course) for when she gets here. Unfortunately I don’t own Goldilocks and the Three Bears (you better get on that mom!), but I do have this really fun book about National Parks*, and you all know how much I love the great outdoors!

*affiliate link

I Can Bear-ly Wait

And of course it has bears! Maybe someday I’ll get to take my sister on a fun road-trip to visit these national parks in person (some of which I’ve already visited myself – and saw bears in too!)

I Can Bear-ly Wait

Now I just have to wait for my sister to get here so I can actually read it to her!

Thanks to Suzanne for her amazing crocheting skills. My sister and I will treasure these items always! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Do you have any recommendations for fun bear-themed books I can read to my sister when she comes?

My New Adventure as a Big Brother

Posted on by

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Over the weekend mom and I arrived at the farm to find a celebration! Mom said it was a baby shower for my soon-to-be little sister, although the way I saw it was a celebration of me becoming a big brother!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

It was the perfect combination of ponies….

….and food! (My favorite).

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Of course it wouldn’t have been a celebration if I didn’t break of my bowtie! The brother-to-be always has to look his best.

Even though my buddy Minnow was just outside in the pasture, we certainly had to include him in the festivities too. So he was inside in spirit for a pin-the-baby-on-the-pony game.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Eventually it was time for my favorite part of the day! Opening presents!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I’m an expert at gift unwrapping and I was super excited to see what all my friends and family brought to celebrate my “becoming a big brother”.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

There were lots of sweet dachshund (and pony) related gifts that were opened but I was starting to realize why mom said it was a “baby shower”.

Eventually Trooper and I started to loose interest in the baby gear so I decided to checkout what fun games there might be for me to play instead.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I was in luck, because not only was there was a stinky inspired game just for me, but it also included candy bars in a “guess which candy bar/dirty diaper game”. I may or may not have gotten in big trouble for trying to steal one of them! 😉

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I sulked for a bit about not being involved as much as I would have liked in this “baby shower”, but mom told me not to worry…

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

…for she says soon I’ll have to test all the baby gear for my sister before she comes. And something tells me mom and dad will be practicing carrying me around in this baby carrier pretty soon!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

After the shower I helped gift all our special friends these cute little horse shoes to show how much I appreciated them coming to celebrate my little sister.

Mom, Dad, Minnow, Me and Boomerang (who just happened to be in another pasture for this picture) are super excited for my little sister to get here! I can’t wait to show her where all the groundhog holes are on the farm, she’s going to love it!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

It’s true. I’ve been hiding something from you.

This summer I’m going to be starting my biggest adventure yet, as a BIG BROTHER! That’s right, after 7 years of being an “only child” my family is going to be gaining a new member.

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

My new 2-legged little sister will be here before I know it, and I’ve still got a lot to do to prepare!

I’ve already been practicing my dress-up skills, and I don’t even mind having to wear pink shades with my fashionable bunny slippers….
