Photographer's Muse // Ammo the Dachshund

For Christmas my mom got some new photography gear – mainly some fun studio lights that we can mess around with.

Of course I volunteered my services immediately as super model while she practices getting better at using the lighting. I’m so helpful like that.

Only eventually I noticed that I wasn’t the only subject she was photographing (the horror!) as items for mom’s business began to take center stage.

Don’t worry though, because I know just how to get the attention back to me!

It’s called sad puppy eyes…and you could totally learn a thing or two from me in that department.

And when all else fails, flop on the floor and throw a temper tantrum. WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

P.S. want to shop for these fun photo mats and more, check out my mom’s online shop! And sorry, adorable photos of me aren’t included.

Baseball, Huskies, and First Aid Kits

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I took a trip to one of the local baseball fields in my town.

I practiced running the bases (you know for when I hit a home run), and found myself wishing I hadn’t left my baseball glove at home.

And just when I thought my baseball team was only going to consist of me and my shadow…..my pal Shilah showed up!

Shilah (being the puppy that she is) didn’t really have the attention span to play a game of baseball with me, so we decided to take a walk around the park instead.

We sniffed for buried treasures, and I showed Shilah how fast I can run! (It’s really really fast incase you were wondering)

And when we were done with our adventure at the park I invited Shilah back to my house for a cookout!

Back at my house we had fun romping in the backyard, and I even let Shilah borrow my mom and her camera. Sometimes even celebrities like me need to share their paparazzi.

Shilah is quite the looker isn’t she?

Then, right before dinner we had to break out my pet first aid kit for a little uh oh!

See Shilah had been so busy playing in the backyard that she didn’t even notice that she had broken a toenail (those silly girls and their long nails).

Not to worry though, Shilah’s mommy took great care in doctoring her up. We cleaned it up and applied some antibiotic ointment.

Shilah had to spend the rest of the evening in my xpen “resting”, but I know she’ll be back for a visit in no time and we’ll be romping around in the backyard again hunting for treasures and rolling in stink. Maybe I’ll buy her a nail file for Christmas. *wink*

Play Fetch Everyday

Don’t you just wish you could play fetch all day long?

It’s these simple pleasures of summer that I enjoy oh so much. I hope you get to play fetch today too.

Friday Fetch: Bambi & Friends

Posted on by

bambi and friendsHalloween is just around the corner and it seems as if everyone already has their costumes picked out! I’m embarrassed to say that I still don’t know what I want to be yet.

Dogs like Bambi from Hope Images seem to effortlessly pull off the perfect costume. I’m a wee bit jealous, although to be fair, I really don’t want to dress up like a hot dog – the most obvious solution.

Doe-eyed Bambi here kinda makes me want to run into the forest and bring home a few fawns to call my own. Isn’t she just precious?

You can fetch these photographs of Bambi and her friends from Hope Images on Etsy for $15.

Even these dogs seem to have gotten into the Halloween Spirit:

Kinda makes you want to play dress-up doesn’t it?

Friday Fetch: Furry and Fancy

adam voorhes photographyI don’t know about you, but I LOVE having my picture taken. Dressing up like someone you aren’t, making silly faces, and simply having a good time! So when I stumbled across the photography of Adam Voorhes (via)- I knew – someday I must meet this guy so he can take my picture!

He somehow manages to make pooches, bears, and even chickens look dignified and fancy – and we all know how scrappy those chickens can be! hehe.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite shots – you can check out more of his work on his website.
