Spring Doxie Fest 2013 // Ammo the Dachshund performs

If you’ve been following along with my adventures for a while, then you may recall I have a special trick box that I use for performances.

It’s served me well as I’ve performed at many venues over the years, but it was time for a little change.

You might also remember that I asked all of you to weigh in how I should use my new decals on my trick box (and maybe even my helmet). Well a long 6 months later I FINALLY got around to giving my trick box a little updating!

Mom helped me scrape off my old decal, add a fresh coat of paint, and reapply my decal from Nipomo Imprints for a brand-new look!

I think it turned out pretty spiffy!

It’s the perfect box for super hero crime fighting and save the world type adventures, and I can’t wait to bring it along on my next performance!

Next though, I think my helmet might be begging for a fresh coat of paint! Super heroes can’t wear dinged up helmets of course! Ammo the Dachshund

Care 4 Dogs Snood Review & Giveaway - Hood for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

The winter in Pennsylvania this year has been pretty harsh, but thanks to my new friends at Care 4 Dogs I’m a little extra warmer in my new winter snood! (incase you didn’t know a snood is a tubular scarf that you wear around your neck kinda like a hood).

My new dark grey snood was custom made to fit my neck and head measurements (and can be custom made for any dog too). I’ve been enjoying wearing it over my ears this winter to keep them extra warm in the cold.

Or if your dog doesn’t like things over their ears you can also opt to just wear it around your neck for some extra warmth.

One end of the snood is a bit more fitted to it’s sure to stay nice and snug on my head – but not too snug that it isn’t easy to pull off.

Step One: If you want your flirt pole to be extra colorful you may want to paint it. I painted mine to have a silvery finish.

Throwback Thursday: A Puppy’s First Trip to the Beach

Posted on by

Road Trip with Ammo - Dog Friendly Beaches in Isle of Palms, South Carolina

My love affair with the ocean started when I was just about a year old. For me it was love at first sight. How can you not love a place that has beaches for miles just begging to be dug up or waves that bring ashore critters to hunt and chase?

Check out this video from my very first encounter with the ocean just after I had celebrated my first birthday!

Do your pups enjoy the ocean too? Ammo the Dachshund

Sledding with the Ponies

Sledding with the Ponies // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I decided to go on a sledding adventure at the farm. So I grabbed my favorite ponies (Minnow, Blitz and Boomer) and hitched them to a sled for some fun!

Sledding with the Ponies // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I had a blast chasing the sleds – we even made it a little friendly competition out of who could get there first. (it was me incase you were wondering)

Dad even broke out his snowboard for a little more “extreme” fun. We’re a little unconventional around here.

You can bet I’ll be doing some sledding again real soon!

My Favorite Spot

My Favorite Spot // Ammo the Dachshund

I bet you have that one favorite spot in your house. The spot where the couch dips in just right and the sun warms your back and you could just nap there for hours. Yeah, I have that spot at my house too.

All that’s missing is someone to hand feed me cookies and massage my back.

Throwback Thursday: Bug Killer

Posted on by

It’s no secret that I’m pretty much an expert hunter, especially when it comes to groundhogs.

Hunting Groundhogs on the Farm 2012 // Ammo the Dachshund

While I now can spend hours on the farm digging down holes after my furry little friends, did you know that I actually started honing my hunting skills as a young pup on something much much smaller….

Those poor stink bugs never stood a chance.

Throwback Thursday: Tail Chasing

Posted on by

I’ve always been quite good at entertaining myself, even when I was a young pup I found many ways to amuse myself while working long hours at the shop with mom.

And when you don’t have a toy on hand, there’s always a built in one on your own back end!

I was about 6 months old in this video, and to this day I still like chasing my tail sometimes!

Does your dog chase his tail?
