Birthday Week! Ammo the Dachshund's 6th Birthday

In celebration of my upcoming 6th Birthday my mom made me a lovely video to look back over my past year of adventures. So if you’ve got 11 minutes to spare, make sure you check out the video below to relieve all the happy memories from my past year on this earth!

Watch this video on youtube.

Looking at all of my adventures in video form makes me so grateful that I get to share all of my fun with you! Thanks so much for checking in on my blog, leaving me nice comments, and making a dog feel extra special. I can’t wait for year #6 and for all of life’s adventures ahead. I hope you’ll continue to join me for all the fun! Ammo the Dachshund

Throwback Thursday: Snow Bunny

Living in Pennsylvania I’ve been through my fair share of winter storms. But one of the first BIG ones I encountered was in 2010 when it snowed so much that I could barely get through it.

Ammo in the Snow 2010

Oh who am I kidding, even when it snows just a little I can barely get through it with my short legs! But that doesn’t stop me from having a grand time!

Only time will tell if this winter will bring any record snowfalls! Just incase I’ve stocked up on snowsuits! Ammo the Dachshund

What Best Dog Friends Do

Dachshund Snuggles with Best Friend // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend my best friend Trooper came over to spend the day with me.

It’s been a long time since we’ve spent the ENTIRE day together, so we had a lot of catching up to do.

Mostly we had a lot of snuggling to catch up on!

Throwback Thursday: Wrestling Cats and Dogs

cricket and ammo

My pal Cricket and I have been friends for a very long time. Cricket it is one of those very special cats that is very tolerant of EVERYTHING. In fact, dare I say she’s more like a dog than a cat?

Case in point, when I was just a pup Cricket used to wrestle with me…..and being the sweetheart that she is, she let me win too…

Love ya Cricket, thanks for teaching me how to wrestle! Ammo the Dachshund

Bringing the Beach Home

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Last week some farm machinery showed up on the farm, and along with it came some sand!

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Word on the street was that the ponies were getting sand footing for their arena.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

In translation…..HOLY COW I WAS GETTING A BEACH!

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I were quite intrigued by our newly found farm beach (as we dubbed it).

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

You may already know just how much I absolutely love the beach, especially running across it bay watch style.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

And the fact that I can now run on the beach and also hunt groundhogs at the SAME PLACE……seriously I think I’m in heaven.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Once the arena farm beach was officially finished Trooper and I got to be the first ones to test it out.

And seeing as how it’s a pretty big arena farm beach, we both agreed that we should share our new sand with the ponies too.

Blitz and Boomerang seem to be just as thrilled with the new farm addition. Boomer even took a celebratory bay watch run just like me….

So what fun things do you think I should do in my new farm beach? Ammo the Dachshund

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My pals over at Mattie & Margot recently sent me a collar and leash from their new STRIPPED collection.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This collection is great because it has a lower price point (starting at $20) and comes in two different widths to fit any size dog.

My gal pal Cricket the Cat was totally eyeing the Ice Blue color that my collar and leash set came in…..because it was oh-so-cool!

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m always on the lookout for leashes that come with these “claw” (not sure if that’s the real term for it) clasp like the STRIPPED Leash. I’m a strong believer that it’s a stronger and more durable option for a clasp than the standard snaps you see on a lot of leashes.

Mattie & Margot Stripped Collar and Leash Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The STRIPPED collection is “stripped” of the traditional ribbon adornment that most of the Mattie & Margot collars you have seen me wearing come with, ideal for the minimalist at heart and great for a less expensive (but still very durable) collar. I’ve NEVER had a Mattie & Margot collar break on me in all the years I’ve been wearing them, not even when I’m rough-housing on the farm.

Throwback Thursday: Puppy Trooper

puppy ammo the dachshund and trooper

Ever since I was 8 weeks old my buddy Trooper has been the dog I looked up to. He came to the shop with me everyday, where he was in charge of “training” me for the first year or so of my life. I like to think that I got my sassiness from Trooper himself, and I’m pretty sure these videos of a young puppy Trooper (before I knew him) hanging out at the shop totally prove my point!

P.S. Isn’t it amazing how much lighter Trooper’s coat was when he was a puppy? Now everyone just thinks he’s really old with his mostly black coat with bits of gray. (he’s only 7) Ammo the Dachshund
