Cupcakes & Diapers

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Ammo

On Sunday I had the feeling that something exciting was going to happen.

Clue number one was that I had to get dressed up!

Mom said we were going to have a Baby Shower for her cousin.

“Does this mean I’ll get to play with Babies?” – Me

“Not quite, but there will be cupcakes & diapers” – Mom

So I parked myself on the couch and waited for these so called cupcakes & diapers to arrive.

And I waited.

And then just as I was getting really tired of waiting…

The cupcakes arrived! (I may or may not have licked a few…..shhhh!)

In fact, lots of food arrived. I tried my best to look awfully cute so that the mom-to-be would send some treats my way, but it didn’t quite work out as planned.

So instead I took a break from party mode and took a nap on the couch for a while.

I instantly perked up though when I heard we were gonna play some party games. “Games? I love games!”

“Someone help me cut my ribbon so I can guess how big the baby belly is!”

Then the highlight of my day….the diapers arrived! And you’ll never guess what. There was melted chocolate inside of them……sweet glorious day.

Apparently it was for some game where you have to guess which melted chocolate bar is inside the diaper. I think I need to brush up on my chocolate bars, because I failed miserably….even with a few taste tests!

Sigh. All in all I had a fabulous day, but when it was all said and done I had one question to ask.

“Mom, where do babies come from?”

Friday Fetch: Bow Tie

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Ammo

With Easter just around the corner, lately I’ve been thinking about my “Sunday Best”. And that’s when I remembered my pal, Buddy!

Buddy’s mom not only make’s totally awesome collars (which both Trooper and I wear everyday!), but she also makes totally pawesome bow ties. I’m seriously drooling over the Aqua Honeycomb one!

These 100% cotton collars include a matching snap on, movable and removable handmade bow tie.

You can fetch one just in time for your Easter Best at SillyBuddy for $40.

Friday Fetch: Butt Sniffing Dogs

Posted on April 8, 2011 by Ammo

It’s like shaking hands, but for dogs. And for some reason it makes people giggle. Honestly, it makes me giggle too. That’s why today’s Friday Fetch is the Butt Sniffing Dogs Ceramic Sculpture from Snew!

Come on, you have to admit, it makes you giggle. hehe

These guys were handmade by using vintage molds and original pieces. They were made of clay and fired once to bisque then painted with a pretty turquoise blue. They are cute as can be even while doing the naughty and measure approx 5.5″ long 2″ high. Ready for loving or gifting!

You can Fetch the Butt Sniffing Dogs HERE for $35.

Also, be sure to check out Snew’s Doxie Cabochons! You know, because everyone loves a wiener dog!

Dachshunds make Everything Sweeter!

It’s true, it really is.

I think that’s why this year mom’s Valentine’s Day present to dad was SUPER sweet. Mostly because it came in the form of a Dachshund!

I have to admit I’m a tad jealous. I wanted a Dachshund Valentine! Eh, who am I kidding – I’d much rather have a rawhide anyway – but it’s still super cool.

You can get your very own Message in a Doxie here – perfect to send all year long! I kinda want to get a whole bunch to send to all my favorite friends! Maybe then Cricket will forgive me for not getting her a Valentine’s Day Present.

Sigh. I guess I’ll have to start saving up my pennies again. Good thing I have that Dachshund Bank!

Valentine’s Day Love

Posted on February 14, 2011 by Ammo

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends out there! And just in case no one’s told you yet today….

It’s true.

You might be wondering why I’m dressed up in my Artist gear. Well, it’s because over the weekend I was very busy making a very special Valentine’s Day gift for my bestest pal, Trooper.

Just don’t mention this to my girlfriend Cricket, I sorta forgot to get her something! Shhh!

Anyway, here’s what I gave Trooper for V-day…

I made a portrait of him! I think it looks just like him, don’t you? And just in case you forgot to get someone a Valentine’s Day present too, I can make a custom pet portrait for you too!

Check it out in my online shop! Enter code AMMOPAL at checkout to get 10% off your order!

Kisses from your pal, Ammo.

Holiday Adventure part 2

Posted on December 29, 2010 by Ammo

Yesterday you got to read part 1 of my Holiday Adventure, and now it’s onto part two, where I got to visit my pal Trooper’s House for more Holiday fun.

When I got to Trooper’s house he has a special present just for me.

Yeah it was a pretty sweet toy! I’m still having a blast playing with it!

I had a special gift for my pal Trooper too.

Trooper was so excited he could hardly contain himself! You see, I got Trooper a new collar from SillyBuddy.

Yea, I was a teensie bit jealous at how good he looked in it.

And then guess what!? Santa brought Trooper some reindeer antlers too!

After Christmas at Trooper’s house I got to go see my cousin’s Chase & Jimmy!

We had some laughs, we even cried a little, but don’t worry…..we made up in the end. And lets just say I got a few dinner rolls thrown my way by my cousins. hehe.

It was the perfect end to my Holiday!

Holiday Adventure part 1

Posted on December 28, 2010 by Ammo

My Holiday Cheer came in lots of packages this year! Woo hoo! I must have done something really good to deserve it.

You might remember my Holiday Wish List I made earlier, well I think Santa must have seen it too, because he brought me lots of goodies that I wanted! I even got a few items from some very special friends!

First I got to open a special gift from my friend Buddy!

Just check out how awesome I look in my new SillyBuddy collar, and yes, it has mustaches on it. I mean come on, how cool is that!

It really made me smile!

Then I got to open a gift from my mom ….

And you’ll never guess what I got…..

It’s a mustache id tag to match my new collar from Makeyourdogsmile

I can’t wait to show off my new wardrobe at the dog park! Everyone will be jealous.

Then it was another gift from mom and dad!

A new squeak toy! Oh boy!

Then my dad got me my VERY OWN hamster!

(he was pretty fun…until I realized he wasn’t real!)

And then it was the very special gift from SANTA!

It’s reindeer antlers….maybe from Blitzen? Or Rudolph???? I’m so lucky! Don’t worry though, there was a note in the box from Santa that said they were naturally shed reindeer antlers, meaning no magic reindeers were harmed to get them, phew!

After Christmas at my house I got to go to my pal Trooper’s house for more Christmas!

Trooper was in the festive mood when I arrived. He had fun showing me all his new toys! Trooper even got me a special toy for Christmas.

But you will have to wait until tomorrow to hear about the rest of my Christmas adventure!

Friday Fetch: Photobooth Dogs

Posted on December 17, 2010 by Ammo

If you didn’t already know, I have a love of photobooths. Perhaps it’s because my mom immortalized me into photobooth art. (Check it out here). Whatever the case may be, I’m digging this book right now.
