The Instincts of a True Hunter

Being a Dachshund means that I was born to hunt, most specifically I was born to hunt down holes! So when an opportunity presents itself for some real-life burrowing practice I can’t possibly pass up the ability to show off my skills. After all I am an expert hunter and burrower.

It’s a shame their wasn’t any groundhogs in there, but regardless I just can’t ever pass up a hole! Ammo the Dachshund

The Sunny Spot

Did you ever find that perfect sunny spot in the house? You know the one, it’s warm and soft, and makes you just want to snuggle up and close your eyes.

There really is only one thing that can drag me from a sunny spot…..COOKIES!

Do you have any? Because I’d gladly lend you my sunny spot for the afternoon if you did! *wink* Ammo the Dachshund

Valentine’s Day Treasures

Last week I celebrated the hallmark holiday (v-day) at home with my family. Curled up on the couch, with a small token gift or two, it was the perfect way to celebrate the day!

Happy Valentine's Day Friends // Ammo the Dachshund

I gave out tons of free kisses, and mom and dad got me a few small items to show how much they care.

 

A bottle of shampoo & conditioner from my Friday Fetch Feature, Organic Oscar, and a bag of healthy cheese and bacon treats!

Thanks mom and dad, you’re the best! But do you mind if I share my shampoo with Trooper? He’s much stinkier than I am! Ammo the Dachshund

The Half Smile

It’s no secret that my mom takes TONS of photos of me. Like for every one you see on my blog there are probably 20 that don’t make the cut.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Now even though I know I’m like the holy grail of cuteness when it comes to dogs, that’s a lot of photos if you think about it – and it also pretty much means that I have a camera in my face 24/7.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Now don’t get me wrong, I love having my photo taken, but sometimes I’m not always in the photogenic mood.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

No, sometimes I’m just plain tired and try as I might I just can’t muster the energy to put on a show for the camera.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

But just as soon as I decide I’d much rather take a nap during today’s photoshoot I’m reminded of all of you.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Yes, I’m reminded of those of you reading my blog in secret at work, or sneaking a peek on your phone during class, or waiting to catch a glimpse of my adorable mug on my Facebook page. And I am ashamed. Ashamed for showing you a photo of my behind – while still very adorable – it just doesn’t cut it.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

So I gathered my strength, and gave it all the effort my tiny little hot dog body had to make your day a little brighter.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

It’s my half smile. You’re welcome. Ammo the Dachshund

Santa’s Secret Workshop

ammo the dachshund merry christmas

Last week I was busy working away on a secret project for the Holidays. I made Christmas Cards! Yay!

ammo the dachshund christmas cards

Mom fashioned a beard for me out of some cotton and a string and I happily posed for portraits in a cheerful little Santa hat we got at the dollar store last year.

Picture taking always proves to be the easy part, it’s coming up with the inside greetings that takes a little more effort.

But this year I came up with my very own version of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas….

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And left tiny paw prints all covered in soot.
The beard of his chin was white as the snow,
His twinkling eyes gave off a warm glow.

He spoke not a word, but gave out a sigh,
As he gobbled the milk & cookies in the blink of an eye.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
“I like peanut butter cookies, next time get it right!”

Little Red

I may not have been wearing “red” but that didn’t stop the Big Bad Wolf from finding me.

Off in the distance I spotted him.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but luckily for me I’m a Fearless Dachshund.

“My what big teeth you have” – me

“The better to eat you with” – wolf

“Why that’s no way to greet a stranger, how about a good old-fashioned butt sniff instead” – me

And we all lived Happily Ever After.

The End
