Happy New Dachshund Art!

Hey pals! I’m inviting you back into my home office again today, because ever since it got a design upgrade a few months ago – I’ve been slowly adding to my art collection on the walls, and today I wanted to share with you my newest addition!

See all the happy wall of art above my desk? Can you spot the newest addition to my collection?

It’s a new happy little Dachshund print from Yellow Brick Home that my mom helped me custom frame at the shop!

Kinda reminds you of someone, right?

Now, if you’ll excuse me – I’ve got to get back to work, these papers won’t file themselves!

 

You can fetch your own Dachshund prints from Yellow Brick Home in their Etsy Shop! Yay!

Friday Fetch: Pet Dental Health

ammo the dachshund pet dental health monthYesterday I shared how it was my new goal to start brushing my teeth every night before bed since February is Pet Dental Health Month.

So after a visit to Petco last week, I rounded up some of my favorite items to get you started in keeping your own pet’s choppers extra sparkly!

The Goods

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Which means that not only did I get to hang out with my Valentine, but I also got some goodies from my Mom & Dad – because they love me so much!

I made out pretty good this year! Mom made me some no-bake healthy treats from a recipe on Pretty Fluffy. Yum Yum.

And then I got some new dog toys from Planet Dog. These toys are my absolute favorite! So far they are pretty indestructible (which mom likes – but I’m determined to prove her wrong), and they have a minty flavor that’s oh-so-tasty. I could play fetch with my new toys for hours!

Happy Valentine’s Day to me!

So what about you, did your furry friends get lots of V-day goodies? Extra snuggles? (those are the best).

Sending lots of love your way, xoxo

Last night mom went to target. And although I had to wait in the car, I knew the rewards for me would be great.

Because when mom goes to target I always get new TOYS!

Ammo’s Christmas Recap – part 2

Yesterday you heard about my trip to the farm on Christmas morning and today I’m going to show you what Santa brought me for Christmas. After heading home from the farm I dove head first into my presents!

ammo the dachshund's christmas

If you didn’t already know, I’m a skilled present unwrap-per. It’s a gift really.

Just check out this fun video of me unwrapping my presents on Christmas morning:

The aftermath always looks a little something like this.

ammo the dachshund's christmas

But boy did I get a whole bunch of fabulous gifts!

ammo the dachshund's christmas

Santa brought me a super fun stuffie toy that looked just like himself, and I also got this super fun bowtie from Silly Buddy (hi Buddy!). Mom and Dad bought me some new dog bowls from Garnet Hill and some all natural dog treats from a cool bakery in New York called Bocce’s Bakery. And lastly I got gifted an awesome gift card to Yellow Brick Home, so that I can get a portrait of ME! How fun!

But my Christmas Adventure didn’t stop there. Next I was headed over to Trooper’s house, where Trooper let me play with all his new Christmas presents.

I even gifted Trooper a batch of dog cookies and my mom and dad got him a custom portrait from Yellow Brick Home too!

Eventually I made my way over to mom mom’s house where I got to watch all my cousins open their Christmas gifts.

I might have helped some with the unwrapping…

….and eventually I ended up more festive looking than when I arrived!

As you can imagine, I passed out in the car on the way home. This much Christmas excitement really wears a boy out! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family. Now I’ve got to rest up…..because this weekend is NEW YEARS! Woohoo!

Ammo’s Christmas Recap – part 1

I know you’ve all been waiting on the edge of your seats to hear about all the adventures I had this Christmas. Well wait no further, because part 1 is here! I had so much fun I had to break it up into TWO blog posts. So make sure you check back tomorrow to hear about the rest of my Christmas Adventure.

First thing Christmas morning I headed out the farm to visit my FAVORITE pony friends.

ammo the dachshund's christmas

I didn’t come empty handed either, I brought them some carrots – the perfect Christmas morning treat.

And just to be sure they were PERFECT, I taste tested a few myself….only the best for my pony pals.

Blitz agreed that they were a-OK.

The ponies were also super excited because Santa had visited the farm too. Blitz told me he even got Blitzen’s autograph, and I’m so super jealous!

Minnow was ALMOST as skilled as me at opening his Christmas present from Santa.

ammo the dachshund's christmas

Boomerang said that I could help him open his Christmas present, on account of all my presents were still at home. Isn’t he sweet?

I could hardly wait to head home and see what Santa had left for me under my tree!

Make sure you check back tomorrow to see what Santa brought me for Christmas!

The Aftermath

I fully intended to have a recap of all my Holiday excitement today, but the fact is I spent most of the day snoozing.

And mom says I have to clean up the big mess I made in the living room. Sigh. So you’ll just have to wait another day to hear about all of my Christmas adventures!

Is Santa Here Yet?

ammo the dachshund christmas eve

Today is Christmas Eve. As in the day before Santa comes. I’ve been in my Christmas PJ’s since about 9am this morning, because I can hardly wait for Santa to stuff his big tushie down my chimney.

ammo the dachshund christmas eve

My stockings are all hung, the plate of cookies and milk are ready, and I even left some carrots for Santa’s reindeer. (P.S. Rudolph, I left an extra one for you)

ammo the dachshund christmas eve

I might have tasted a few of Santa’s cookies. I’m really hoping he won’t mind.

ammo the dachshund christmas eve

Just in case I printed out this photo of me giving the sad puppy eyes for Santa – and I’m pretty certain no one can resist sad puppy eyes, not even the jolly fat man.

ammo the dachshund christmas eve

Well, I better go jump in bed and pretend I’m sleeping, because I think I hear the sound of reindeer hooves on my roof! Ahhhhh I’m so excited!

Merry Christmas to all my pals!
