The Fog Rolls In

The Fog Rolls In // Ammo the Dachshund

The other morning on the farm things were looking a bit eery.

The fog rolled in over the hills and I could barely see in front of my nose.

I felt like I was on another planet as the sky molded into the ground and each step I took had me wondering what was on the other side.

As I drifted around the farm I began to think that this fog could be of no use to me what-so-ever.

But I shouldn’t have been so quick to to judge because Cricket reminded me that fog was one of the best type of “weather conditions” to go hunting in.

Morning Ritual

Posted on by

You might remember that I told you all last month that I’m really not much of a morning dog. I drag my feet to get out of bed, and most of the time Mom has to make me go outside for my morning potty break before work.

So today I thought I’d show what actually happens when my feet hit the floor.

Once I’m finally up and at-em I’m ready to get down to business.

Sprinting out the door I gotta make sure there is no unwanted critters hiding in my yard. They tend to like to sneak in overnight.

Today I got to scare a bird off – it was quite exciting.

Then it’s time for my morning shake, before I take a lap around the yard to check for more intruders.

Only today Mom is taking pictures of me. My plans have changed.

It’s back inside to stare at my cookie jar, because…..

.. “Mom I came inside all by myself and you didn’t even have to call me, I’m pretty sure I deserve cookies for that.”

Not a Morning Dog

Posted on by

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a morning dog.

I don’t wake up at 5am and demand to be fed my breakfast….no, I sleep until someone tells me it’s time to get up.

Usually I’m awakened by the sound of kibble being poured into my bowl in the kitchen, because really, who can resist that sound?

Eventually I mosey into the kitchen and eat – but unlike you might think, I don’t go outside for a morning romp – instead I find a new comfy spot to sleep.

Despite the fact that mom says we have to be at work in an hour, I just can’t muster the energy to get my day started.

So instead I happily snooze my morning away until I’m forced to go outside for a potty break or mom carries me to the car for our ride to the shop or the farm.

I may not be a morning dog, but if you had as many adventures as I do you might be a little less willing to get out of bed in the morning too.

Morning

Posted on by

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……

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

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

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

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!

Sounds of the Farm

Posted on by

You might think that the farm is a peaceful and quiet place, but the truth is, it can be quite noisy at times! Birds chirping, horses’ banging buckets, and we can’t forget Spider Kitty calling for her big brother Ammo to come out and play.

 

But, no matter what, the farm is my favoritiest place to be. And noise or no noise, I wouldn’t change a thing!
