I went to the Rodeo

You might remember that a couple of months ago I visited the Rodeo in Amish Country, well this time I was back to watch my mom and Boomerang compete in it!

At the Rodeo // Team Penning // Ammo the Dachshund

Boomer was competing in a sport called Team Penning, which basically means that three riders have 90 seconds to round up three cows that are the same number (a number is called out by the announcer at the start) and pen them into a small corral at the other end of the arena.

My buddy Boomer is pretty new to moving cows around, and this was only the third time he’s tried team penning.

Luckily he had me in the stands to cheer him on, and I think I was good luck because on his very first time out Boomer’s team penned their cows well under the time limit!

Not to brag, but I pretty much taught him all he knows!

Easy Scoop A Poop Product Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Easy Scoop A Poop.

Today we’re going to talk about doggie doo doo! You know, those nice little presents of stuff that your dog leaves for you in your backyard (you’re welcome by the way). Well thanks to my friends over at Easy Scoop A Poop, we have a better way for you pet owners to deal with all those smelly little presents!

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With the Easy Scoop A Poop product you no longer have to FEEL your pet’s waste. Honestly, I wouldn’t really know what thats like on account of I never have to clean up after myself (it’s good to be a dog), but according to my mom, it’s not the greatest job in the world.

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This portable poop scooper comes with a roll of bags (with refills available) just inside the lid for easy access.

Now for the sake of demonstrating how this product works I was more than happy to offer up some of my own little piles, but mom kindly suggested we use something a little less gross – you know, just incase you are eating lunch or something. So you can thank me later, but I found this little apple in my backyard that I’m going to use to represent my little “piles”.

Easy Poop A Scoop Product Review and Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So to use the Poop A Scoop you simply pull out a bag and insert your hand into the plastic handles – and then into a clean bag just as you normally would to pick up your dog’s business.

Painting with Minnow

Painting with Minnow the Painting Pony // Ammo the Dachshund

This is Minnow, one of the most talented artists you’ll ever meet, and he’s my bestest pony friend.

Painting with Minnow the Painting Pony // Ammo the Dachshund

Painting is one of Minnow’s favorite things to do, can’t you tell by that big smile on his face?

Painting with Minnow the Painting Pony // Ammo the Dachshund

When Minnow gets ready to paint I’m never far from his side, because every great artist needs an assistant.

Trooper likes to help too sometimes, but he doesn’t always have the focus to be a great painting assistant.

I on the other hand might as well have paint flowing through my veins, and the messier the job the better!

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.

Day at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

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!

Adventure Awaits

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

Every once in a rare while I get to spend the day at home just relaxing.

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

Dog stereotypes would state that I should relish in the fact that I get to nap all day long, but for me that’s just way too boring.

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

How can you relax when there are adventures to be had; there’s groundhogs to hunt, agility courses to run, people to wag your tail at, and cookies to eat!

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

Although thinking about all those adventures is making me a little sleepy.

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

Yawn! I guess those adventures will still be there tomorrow…

Adventure Awaits // Ammo the Dachshund

I think I’ll just rest my eyes a bit. Don’t worry though, because adventure always awaits just around the corner! Ammo the Dachshund

My Personal Puddle

My Personal Puddle // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s been raining in Pennsylvania A LOT, like as in thunderstorms most nights and sometimes all day long. But it’s also been hot hot hot. So while I hate that the rain sometimes puts a damper on my plans, I’m loving that it’s created a personal puddle on the farm just for me to cool off in.

My Personal Puddle // Ammo the Dachshund

It may not be crystal clear waters, but it’s the perfect place to cool off, and maybe fetch a few sticks in too.

With just a couple more inches of rain I’d have to slap on my life vest and call it my own personal swimming puddle.

For those of you who did not know, I’m the King of my Castle. I rule with an iron fist and and a bark that could frighten a lion. It’s true, I even have a crown to prove it!

As King I demand cookies, daily entertainment in the form of tug-o-war, and all the belly rubs I so desire.
