Silently he follows me. No matter how hard I try I can’t shake him loose.
He sniffs everything I sniff and wags his tail at everything I wag at.
But he’s also really really good at…….
…..making me appear much bigger and tougher than I actually am.
Be scared, because my shadow’s got my back.
Today is my mom’s 189th Birthday! Ok fine, 27 in people years, but it sounds way cooler to say 189. I wanted to get my Mom something extra special because she’s so nice to me.

But, Dad said he didn’t think she would really appreciate the gesture. So instead I got her this book.
ok fine, Dad got her the book. But if I didn’t know any better I’d say this book, about a SUPER HERO DACHSHUND, was written about me!
You can buy your own copy of the book here.
Dad also got Mom one of these….

(Sadly not the cowboy, just the lasso.) It’s so me and Mom can play cowboys! I already signed Trooper up to be the bull we lasso. I think he’s in trouble, because mom has some super sweet lasso moves already. Just check out the video.
Happy Birthday Mom, love your favorite Dachshund side-kick, Ammo

Do you know what this wagging tail means? It’s game night…..
Everyone wants me on their lap during game night.
Perhaps it might be because I shout the answers out. hehe.

Dear Dr. Seuss,
Apparently I missed your Birthday. It was yesterday.
I would have been way more excited had you written about a super cute Dachshund in a hat. Who wants to read about a cat anyway? Sorry I didn’t get you a present. Maybe next year.
Love,
Your Pal Ammo
P.S. If you have any leftover green eggs and ham please send it my way.
It always starts so innocently. You’re just having a good sniff in the wilderness with your best pal….
….and then the next thing you know, you’re fighting over a towel.
Sometimes you can win the fight…..
….and then other days you’re just feeling really weak restricted by some cumbersome winter coats.
So if you think you “might” lose, there is always one full-proof plan.
Run to mom for help.
And then when your opponent gets scolded by mom…..you attack!
Playing dead afterward will ensure that you get lots of loving from mom.
Now go forth and be victorious. And please, don’t tell Trooper my fighting secrets.
Admit it, some of the squeaky toys they make for dogs are just plain lame. Really.
And then there are these squeaky toys from VIP PRODUCTS……
They even have some super tuff dog toys, you know, for dogs like me who are super tough!
You can even sign up to be a toy tester and save big on lots of really cool dog toys! You better believe I’m making my Birthday wish list right now!
I don’t know what to think. Every time I come to the farm it seems like Boomerang is loosing more and more hair. Honestly, I’m a little scared I might be next!
Hang in there pal. I really hope it all grows back!
Yesterday we got more snow. It was fantastic. Everything smells different when it snows.
It’s like I get to re-sniff everything I sniffed before. Even my pal Spider the Kitten likes the snow.
I pretty much taught her everything she knows.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to exploring my new world.
Ok fine, maybe cats can eat sticks too…..but it’s not fair that I can’t climb trees!
Regardless, the bigger Spider the Kitten gets, the more fun we have!
Here’s a few videos to prove it…..
She just better teach me how to climb trees soon!
Now granted I’d much rather be leash free, but sometimes I like being connected to my “person”. Makes me feel a little safe and secure!
So that’s why today’s Friday Fetch is the Lasso retractable leash.
All other leashes let you do one thing- walk the dog. That’s great if that’s all you want to do. But what if you need to stop and run a quick errand while with your dog? Lasso™ is the answer. Just press, lock and go. With over 12,000 dogs injured a year from untied leads, don’t take the risk! Designed for the owner “on the run” with patent-pending quick-click technology. And- it’s also a better everyday retractable leash – more attractive and industrial grade. Beauty…with brains.
You can shop for the Lasso here as well as watch a pretty sweet video!
