How I Became Ammo

Posted on by

With a name like Ammo I always get questions about how I ended up with such an explosive name (for such a small dog). So I figured it was high time I shared the story of how I got my name.

I like to think I’ve really grown into my name over the past 6 years that I’ve had it, but my parents thought long and hard before they landed on “Ammo”.

In fact, it might help to show you a video of the VERY FIRST time I ever met my parents.

As you can see I really wasn’t too shy about asserting my personality! 😉

After meeting me, falling in love, and deciding I would get my forever home with them, mom and dad went home to contemplate what my new name would be.

How Ammo Got His Name - Trooper and Ranger - Puppy

Mom had picked out the name Ranger. She thought it was a strong name that sounded super cute with my soon to be best buddy’s name….Trooper! (Mom still says Trooper & Ranger would have been cute names).

Dad picked out the name Ammo. He said I looked like a little bullet because I was so long.

How Ammo the Dachshund got his name - And the name that almost was, Robot!

The wildcard name that almost came to be….Robot! Hehe, I like to think that would have been a pretty funny name to have too.

In the end I became Ammo. Mostly because my dad had never had a dog before (mom had) and it seemed only fitting that he get to name his very first fur kid (at least according to mom). So Ammo it was! And you know what, I think it’s pretty fitting. I’m fast, powerful, and explosive. I even found out later on (via a Facebook fan) that Amo means love in Italian. How cool!

Even though my name is Ammo, I’ve got lots of little nicknames around the house that mom and dad like to call me:

Amee
Am
Amer
L’Amee (short for Little Amee)
Ween
Weenie
Monkey
Peanut
Miami (short for My Amee)

Yesterday on the farm a man with a big bucket full of tools showed up.

Me and Trooper weren’t quite sure what was going on, but mom said it was the horse dentist for the ponies.

That story added up fine while Minnow had his teeth brushed by an uncomfortable looking metal pole.

But then he was fastened with a strange and scary looking face mask – which led me to conclude that they were turning Minnow into a robot!

This sounded way cool to me, I was actually quite excited to have a robot as a friend – Trooper on the other hand was a bit nervous.

Yes, a robot pony was the coolest thing ever I decided.

So I started helping the man by handing him his tools so that my robot pony could be ready faster.

Trooper was insistent in his worrying though, “But Ammo, what if robot ponies eat little wiener dogs for breakfast?”

Not being one to take the eating of wiener dogs lightly, Me and Trooper later asked Minnow if he would eat us – were he in fact a robot pony now.

Minnow assured us that he would not, and that he wasn’t a robot pony, but one can never be too careful – so we’ve taken to watching Minnow out of the corner of our eyes. Just in case.

And for now, Trooper is very relieved that he is the only one that will be eating any wiener dogs for breakfast.
