Thanksgiving Adventure

Road Tripping Adventures with Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve finished packing…

Thanksgiving Road Trip: Pet Friendly Shopping in Charleston

…and loaded up all the necessities (which includes my pal Trooper), because I’m off on another adventure!

Pet Friendly Road Trip // Ammo the Dachshund

A road-trip of epic proportions (where it might be a wee bit warmer than Pennsylvania).

Tennessee Road Trip // Ammo the Dachshund

And when I return I’m sure I will have some amazing stories to share with all of you. Adventure Awaits!

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends a few days early, I can’t wait to stuff my face on Thursday!

All Up In It

All Up In It

Holy Cow. You’re never gonna guess what showed up on the farm the other day. My eyes caught sight of it, and I could just hardly contain my excitement. It was….

All Up In It

….a GIANT, fantastic, amazing pile of screenings!

All Up In It

Of course I wasted no time at all getting ALL UP IN IT, because there really is only one thing you can do when a big pile of screenings shows up at your doorstep….

All Up In It

…Conquer that mountain like nobody’s business.

Well and maybe dig a hole or two as well…

What would your dog do with a big pile of screenings? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Adventures in Petco

Adventures in Petco

Back in September I went on a very important adventure with my sister that I forgot to share. How could I forget? We went to Petco!

Adventures in Petco

It’s arguably one of the most important trips in a young baby’s life. I mean how else is she going to know where to shop for me?

Adventures in Petco

While I was there I even got to pick out a FREE pound of cookies thanks to the Birthday club. I never say no to cookies. And lucky for me my sister doesn’t eat cookies, so I didn’t even have to share.

Adventures in Petco

Now sister, we are going to go through every square inch of this store while I explain to you which are the best treats & toys. It’s going to take a while, but be oh-so-worth it for your education. You can thank me when you’re older.

What do you think my sister will get me for Christmas?

P.S. If you’re wondering more about the food I’ve picked up at the store, read all about my favorite toys, treats, food & more on my gear page.Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

The Secret to Having Lots of Adventures with your Dog

Autumn Adventures on the Lake - Ammo the Dachshund goes Paddleboarding

Adventure. It’s in my blood. For the past 8 years my mom and dad haven’t hesitated to decide on a whim, today is the day for an adventure.

Music in the Park with Ammo the Dachshund

And then my sister arrived, and I was a little worried all that adventuring was going to be over. I should have known I didn’t need to worry though, because my mom has always had a secret weapon when it comes to getting everyone out of the house for some fun.

Jasper Swag Dog Walking Bags

That secret……bags! My mom has always left bags packed by the door ready to go with all the supplies needed for our next big adventure. In the summer we have a pool/lake bag with towels & life vests, and in the winter we have a bag with extra warm coats, and now with the addition of my sister there is need for even more bags!

Jasper Swag Dog Walking Bags

Mom has been keeping this fun On The Fly Jasper Swag Dog Walking Bag just for me packed and ready by the door so we can head out on a moments notice.

Here she is packing up all my gear (and my sister’s too) to be ready for our next big adventure:

Jasper Swag Dog Walking Bags

Mom and I have been loving the Jasper Swag Bag because not only does it have pockets for all my essentials (poop bags, extra id tags & collar, cookies – of course, water, bowl, etc), but it also fits some of mom’s gear like keys and mobile phone.

Jasper Swag Dog Walking Bags

Mom loves the waist belt option too because it gives her more use of her arms, which apparently you can never have enough of when you have a baby sister and a dog to look after. I wouldn’t know since all I have are these paws.

Dogs And Their People

Dogs And Their People // Ammo the Dachshund in Barkbook

Now at first glance this might look like just a cute book about Dogs and Their People. And while that fun smiling corgi is super fun, there is something even more special about this book…

Dogs And Their People // Ammo the Dachshund in Barkbook

…I’m in the book! As you can see my sister couldn’t wait to help me celebrate my very first “in print” literature.

Dogs And Their People // Ammo the Dachshund in Barkbook

Many lucky dogs just like me have people that love them very much (like my sister here), so much so that the quirky stories that prove their love are included in this book of collected stories by my friends over at Barkbox!

Dogs And Their People // Ammo the Dachshund in Barkbook

So I’m sure none of you are surprised that I might be included in this book, after all my mom and dad do some crazy things to show me that they care. (Taking me flying, a road trip so I could walk the red carpet, and documenting my entire life on this blog to name a few)

Dogs And Their People // Ammo the Dachshund in Barkbook

In the Dogs and their People Book I’ve got an entire page dedicated to me, written by my mom!

Dogs And Their People // Ammo the Dachshund in Barkbook

The Barkshop even came out with this super fun replica book that doubles as a baby toy (or I guess dog toy depending on who you are)!

Dogs And Their People // Ammo the Dachshund in Barkbook

So if you’re looking for a cool gift for all your friends this holiday season, or just can’t get enough of yours truly, be sure to grab this fabulous book! It’s got so many fun reads inside that I’m still not finished it completely.

Music in the Park

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!

Ammo’s Birthday Fun

Ammo's 8th Birthday

Since last week I celebrated my 8th Birthday I thought I would share just how I decided to celebrate.

Now my sister is only 2 months old, so she doesn’t even know what a Birthday is yet. So I decided to show her exactly what you do on Birthdays…

If I can help it, my sister is going to be the very best present unwrapped when she grows up!
