Swim Lessons // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve been taking swim lessons with my Dad at the pool lately, because I want to become a much stronger swimmer!

Dad says my swim kick is getting stronger every time, and before you know it I’ll be the official life guard at the family pool.

Swim Lessons // Ammo the Dachshund

In preparation for my inevitable lifeguarding duties I have been practicing saving my cousins.

Although with all those flotation devices on it makes a little hard for a dog to practice saving drowning people!

Day at the Pool

Day at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the great things about the summer is getting to spend the day at my mom mom & pop pop’s pool.

I wouldn’t say that I love to swim or anything, but floating around on a raft in the water is a pretty good time.

I’ve become sort of an expert at patrolling the waters, making sure no one drowns and that everyone plays by the rules. I run a tight ship at my pool!

Now if only I could get someone to bring me out a tray of hot dogs – I think I might never leave!

Happy Summer everyone!

Ammo’s Oscar Recap

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Ammo

The stars, the lights, the cameras, and the red carpet – The Oscars was on last night – and of course I was in attendance. Ok well sort of (from my couch at least), but that’s the very best seat in the house anyway.

Just because I didn’t get to walk the actual red carpet doesn’t mean I didn’t dress the part.

I wore the always fashionable Silly Buddy Bowtie – and even had a chance to get a little primping done.

I got my hair did!

Admittedly my hair dresser isn’t quite up on the most fashionable trends, but I rocked that mullet anyway.

The oscars provided me with a full night of entertainment as I got down with all the singing & dancing.

It’s almost as if I was actually there!

I also had my eyes peeled all night for one of my celebrity pals, Crusoe (you may remember that we both dressed up as Wile E. Coyote this past year for Halloween).

Crusoe apparently won an Oscar (meyer-weiner) for Best Celebrity Dog (hello, where was my nomination?) – but since the Academy Awards went on well past my bed time I just couldn’t stay awake to see his acceptance speech.

I’m sure he just rambled off a list of thank yous that included his squeaky toys and celebrity stylists – so I gather I probably didn’t miss much. *wink*

Even though I didn’t catch an actual glimpse of Crusoe on the red carpet, I have my own speculations as to why Kristen Stewart walked the carpet with crutches (run-in with a shorter than average celebrity??? hummmm Crusoe?). We may never know for sure!

Next year I hope to be out on the red carpet myself – and I’ve already started planning my outfit! I’m thinking a neon yellow tux would really make me jump out in the crowd!

So what about you, what was your favorite part of the oscars this year?

4th of July at the Fair

Posted on July 17, 2012 by Ammo

Yeah, so it’s been nearly 2 weeks, but I realized that I completely forgot to share my adventures from the 4th of July! I guess I’ve been so busy having fun that I just plain forgot. Well, better late than never – so here’s how it all went down….

I spent a good portion of my day on the 4th at the Downingtown Good Neighbor Day in town.

I oohed and ahhed over all the giant stuffies just begging to be de-stuffed that were hanging around.

I also may have pouted a bit when mom said it was way too hot (and I was too little) to go on any rides.

I got over it pretty quick though when we started to walk around through the craft venders and I got to meet some new friends.

And don’t get me started on the food! Is it just me or is fair food just so delish? There were so many choices I just didn’t know what to get.

Mom and I ended up sharing some chicken on a stick, and we were so glad we did – because it’s the best chicken we’ve ever had! Later we even got some funnel cake.

The nice thing about Downingtown Good Neighbor Day is that it’s right along the Brandywine River, which means I got to take a dip in the river to cool off – which was perfect on this hot hot summer day.

After spending such a nice afternoon at the fair I headed over to MomMom and PopPop’s house for a cookout and swim.

Adventures completed, and a belly full of yummy food -I can safely say it was one of my favorite days! What fun things did you do to celebrate on the 4th?

Summer Days by the Pool

This past weekend was a hot one, so to beat the heat I headed over to my MomMom & PopPop’s house to take a dip in the pool.

Floating around the pool on my raft can be quite enjoyable when the temperatures reach near 90F.

I dubbed myself Captain Ammo and invited my cousins to come play with me aboard my ~~ship~~ flotation device!

My cousin Chase volunteered to be first mate and we embarked on a wild adventure at ~~sea~~ pool.

Chase and I discussed where we thought the buried treasure might be – and we both agreed that it must be under the ~~sea~~ pool.

Our plans to rescue said treasure were foiled though when we realized that I forgot to pack my floaties. AAARRRGH!

Don’t worry though, Mom signed me up for swim lessons so our next adventure will be sure to lead us to gold and riches.

Pool Boy

Posted on July 25, 2011 by Ammo

After a week of 100 plus degree weather in Pennsylvania I finally couldn’t take it anymore! It was time for a pool day!

Thankfully my mom-mom & pop-pop have a pool in their backyard. And who was I to pass up an invitation to come swimming?

I wasted no time in grabbing myself a raft – doesn’t it look like I can walk on water?

Believe it or not, this was actually my first time in the pool – and I decided all by myself that rafting would be the perfect way to cool off on this hot day. I’m so smart – who wants to waste their time doing the doggie paddle anyway.

Now that I’m properly cooled, who wants to take me for ice cream?

dog pool float lounger They don’t call it the dog days of summer for nothing! It’s scorching out there right now! That’s why if I had a pool I’d totally be begging mom and dad for one of these.
