Frolicking on the Farm

Frolicking on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend the temperatures rose to a comfortable 65 degrees on the farm, which meant I found myself soaking up all the sun I could before it inevitably turns cold once again.

I ran and ran and celebrated being free!

I kept on running until Trooper came to get me to help with the farm chores. What a buzz kill!

Digging holes for fencing requires all hands paws on deck, and as the digging expert I’m always involved with it comes to holes on the farm.

Trooper on the other hand just likes to nap in the sun. To each his own. Happy warm fall day to all! Ammo the Dachshund

Preparing for the Dachshund Races

Posted on by

On Sunday I’m packing a bag and heading to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for their annual Oktoberfest! Not only do I plan to mix and mingle among fans of my german heritage, but mom and dad have also entered me into the Dachshund Races.

It’s been a number of years since I’ve put on my running shoes and raced, but the last time I did I came in as the reserve champ! So I figured it was time to lace up my sneakers again and get to training so that I have an even better chance at winning this time.

Wish me luck! Ammo the Dachshund

Got Gold Fishes

Got Gold Fishes // Ammo the Dachshund

Every once in a while you get that itch. That itch to play and dart, and RUN!

And then just like that you’re off like a rocket. Faster than a speeding bullet you run, thinking maybe you’ll never come back.

But then mom digs around in her pocket and finds a leftover goldfish. Darn those gold fishes, they’re just so delicious.

And just like that you find yourself screaming…… “I’m coming mom, I’m coming…..don’t eat it…..I’m coming!”

Throwback Thursday: Athletic Ammo

Posted on by

Since I’ve been laying a little low lately (while mom’s recovering from knee surgery), I decided it would be fun to share some of my adorably cute photos from my puppy years. I didn’t have a blog back then, so these photos haven’t seen the light of day in quite some time. But have no fear, it’s Throwback Thursday time, and I’ve dug through my archives and found some super sweet puppy pictures to brighten your day!

As you can see, even at a couple months old I was quite the athletic guy! It’s no wonder my muscles are huge now. And check out my spots! I bet you didn’t know that I’m actually a red dapple, and at certain times of the year (when the sun hits me just right) my spots are much more visible.

I hope you enjoyed my #throwbackthursday – perhaps I’ll have to make this a regular feature on the blog! Ammo the Dachshund

Construction on the Farm

Ammo the Dachshund // Construction on the Farm

The construction on Trooper’s new house at the farm has really been moving along pretty quickly. Every time I come there is something new to look at.

I was admiring the handiwork from afar, when I decided, what the hey – lets go check it out!

Up close Trooper’s new house looked solid enough.

But with these big empty rooms, there is really only one way to know for sure if it’s going to hold up to the rigors of me and Trooper’s wrestle parties.

Time to fly!

Lucky for Trooper I’m such a good friend that I tested out and approved his new home for endless bounding. It gets my stamp of approval for wrestle parties too…..although we may want to add some carpeting.

I can’t wait until Trooper’s new house is ready! I’ve already staked out a few looking windows that have a straight line shot to viewing my groundhog holes – I have my paws crossed the construction workers don’t forget to add a doggie door. I hope Trooper lets me sleepover all the time!

Play Fetch Everyday

Don’t you just wish you could play fetch all day long?

It’s these simple pleasures of summer that I enjoy oh so much. I hope you get to play fetch today too.

Extra Curricular Activities

Posted on by

Since I have a lot of “jobs” (shop greeter, artist, guard dog, farm dog, sidekick, super hero….) sometimes it’s nice to enjoy a few extra curricular activities at the end of the day. One of my favorites right now is agility class.

I still have a lot of training to do before I’m ready to compete, but right now I’m just having a lot of fun! Just see for yourself….

P.S. I like Tunnels about as much as this boy likes Turtles. 🙂

Running with the Ponies

Posted on by

I may not have been frolicking around in the pasture with the ponies in real life, but I certainly was in spirit (although you can catch a glimpse of me in the video below).

Blitz, Boomerang and Minnow really know how to have a good time!

Nothing like a good romp in the mud on a rainy day! 

Agility for Super Heroes

Posted on by

Yesterday I started my beginner agility class at Wagsworth Manor. So, knowing that I would need to get in shape beforehand, over the weekend I broke out my super cape to help me get the party started.

There is something about that little piece of fabric – that just makes you want to fly!

…and fly….

…and fly some more!

And it’s a good thing I did all that flying beforehand…..

…because this is all my classmates saw on my first day of agility class as I soured over the jumps, sped through the weaving poles, and dashed through the tunnel! I can’t wait until next week’s class!
