Spring Doxie Fest Recap

Posted on April 23, 2013 by Ammo

As most of you know I was invited to paint and perform at the 2013 Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. I love to support animal rescues, so I jumped at the chance to show off my stuff!

So I packed up my car with lots of goodies for my booth, and brought along all of my trick gear for my big performance. (you can always shop online with me HERE).

When it came time to perform I was excited to show everyone what I had been practicing. I love to learn and doing tricks with my mom is one of my favoritiest things in the whole wide world.

I kicked off my big performance by finishing up a painting I had started earlier in the week…..afterall you can’t rush talent!

Then it was off to my phone booth for a quick costume change, of course everyone giggled when my Super Undies went on display for the world to see. I’m still blushing. But Super Ammo had a job to do, and I wasn’t going to let a little embarrassment stop me!

Eventually I had to break out my super helmet for some of the more dangerous tricks. Safety first.

After all that performing I was ready to meet my fans!

By then I was pretty tired, but my day wasn’t over yet, because I had to judge some of the contests like best kisser, best tail wag, best costume, and best trick.

I even got to meet a cool doxie named Harry who had a knack for playing golf! (I chose him as the winner of best trick by the way).

Incase you missed my big performance at the Doxie Fest, below is a quick highlight video I made. And if you want to see some more of my amazing tricks you can check out the SUPER PONY DVD that I made with my favorite trick ponies HERE.

At the end of the day I was so excited that so many of you came out to watch me perform and meet me, and most importantly support a great rescue like the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.

P.S. you all have some pretty cute Dachshunds!

Lazy Farm Days

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Ammo

Lazy and Farm aren’t typically words that go together, but when the weather suddenly hits near 90 degrees in the Spring (when it was in the 40’s) it can get lazy on the farm pretty quick!

So here’s a little taste of what’s been going on around the farm lately:

The farm is one of my favorite places to be, just spending time relaxing with all of my friends.

Spring Bath

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

When the weather starts to warm up I always know that I will be spending a lot more time in the bathtub than I’d really care to.

Arguably it’s not my favorite thing in the World, but I like to think I’m pretty tolerable of the deed.

And it’s really not that BAD, especially since mom always provides cookies. A bath without cookies is like rolling in dead worms with a coat on – pointless – and precisely what got me into this mess in the first place.

After bath time I’m left smelling like sunshine and daisies – not what super awesome dogs that dig holes in the backyard and hunt for bunnies should be smelling like. So it’s best to rub that smell off as quickly as possible.

Pretty soon I’ll be dry and looking for my next big thing to roll in. This time I’m thinking horse manure and kitty litter – if I plan it just right then mom won’t have time to give me a bath before we go to work. Always gotta be thinking! Smell ya later, xoxo

Happy Easter!

Throwback Thursday: Supermodel in Training

Throwback Thursday: Supermodel in Training // Ammo the Dachshund Puppy

Starting at just a few weeks old I was already in training to becoming an international supermodel.

With a camera shoved in my face 24/7 (thanks mom!), I was learning how to look oh so sexy for the camera.

It wasn’t that hard actually, because I was (and am) adorable…..

Laundry Day

When laundry day rolls around at my house I like to do everything I can to help out.

Ok, well mostly I just enjoy laying in a pile of clean warm clothes…..but who doesn’t?

More clean laundry please!

Throwback Thursday: Tiny Wrestler

Posted on March 14, 2013 by Ammo

I’ve always been a little scrappy from the very beginning. It all started with the wrestling matches I shared with my best friend Trooper.

Mostly I was the instigator, and boy did we love to wrestle (and still do). But for as hard as we fight…..

….we always love each other at the end of the day!

Happy Thursday everyone!

A Little Green

A Little Green // St. Patrick's Day with Ammo the Dachshund

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, so I decided to make sure I had the perfect green outfit to wear for the big day. It never hurts to be prepared.

My clover tie was looking great, but I knew it needed a little something.

Oh yes, the top hat totally makes the outfit!

I’m ready for my night on the town with my Leprechaun posse. Don’t tell mom, but we like to get into a wee bit o mischief on St. Patrick’s Day. Only 4 more days to go!

Sigh, I’m not sure I can wait that long!

Rescue Animals and Blanket ID

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Ammo

Last week I wrote about my saying (“My Hero”) that I had submitted to the Blanket ID “Significant Others” Tag Contest, and I asked you (my fans) to help my tag win by voting so that I could choose a lucky animal rescue to donate money from the sale of my tags to.

Well thanks to all of you I placed second! Which means in a few short weeks my tag will be available for purchase from Blanket ID!

As exciting as this is, I’m even more excited to announce that the rescue I have chosen to receive $3 from every sale of my tag is the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue!

Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR) is a National Non-Profit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing needy Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes from coast to coast.

Just look at some of these cuties they have available for adoption:

To see all of their available dogs visit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.

So if you’d like to be a hero just like me, then you might consider making a purchase of my Blanket ID tag once it is available (I’ll be sure to let you know). And you can also come visit me on April 21st at the Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. More details HERE.

Slap on your cape, and grab a helmet, because there are always heroes welcome in my club!

Throwback Thursday: Sweater Weather

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Ammo

One of the questions I get a lot is why do I tolerate wearing coats, sweaters, and even costumes so well? The answer is simple, I was born in October and warm outfits became an important part of my everyday life to keep me warm at a very young age!

Not to mention I looked oh-so-good in a hand knitted sweater!
