Cutting down the Tree

Posted on December 6, 2011 by Ammo

Over the weekend I got to pick out my Christmas tree with my family. We decided to go back to the Tri-color Christmas Tree Farm just like last year so that we could cut down our own tree. (you know, the do-it-yourself method).

It’s very important to pick a special tree, after all you want it to look enticing for Santa to leave a whole bunch of presents under on Christmas Eve.

I narrowed my search down to a few promising trees, but ultimately decided on this glorious fella….

Santa would be proud! But, if you are wondering where the picture is of me sawing down my tree pick this year, sadly I must disappoint. See, after I chose my tree I got a bit sidetracked….

…really I was just checking to see if the groundhogs needed any help cutting down their Christmas tree.

I did eventually emerge from my underground adventure to help dad carry the tree to the car.

And I happily shared the back seat with my pretty little Christmas tree all the way home.

Here’s a happy little video of Holiday Tree Hunting Adventure:

I can’t wait to get all of my ornaments on it and decorate it super pretty for Santa! Make sure you check back tomorrow so I can tell you all about my visit to see Santa!

Santa’s Secret Workshop

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

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!”

Ammo’s Christmas Wish List

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Ammo

Dear, Santa

Even though I ate that piece of pizza off the coffee table, picked on Trooper, unraveled all the toilet paper, and ate a hole in mom’s pillowcase – I really really think I deserve all the things on my Christmas list this year. I promise to try harder next year.

xoxo,

Ammo

Holiday Adventure part 2

Posted on December 29, 2010 by Ammo

Yesterday you got to read part 1 of my Holiday Adventure, and now it’s onto part two, where I got to visit my pal Trooper’s House for more Holiday fun.

When I got to Trooper’s house he has a special present just for me.

Yeah it was a pretty sweet toy! I’m still having a blast playing with it!

I had a special gift for my pal Trooper too.

Trooper was so excited he could hardly contain himself! You see, I got Trooper a new collar from SillyBuddy.

Yea, I was a teensie bit jealous at how good he looked in it.

And then guess what!? Santa brought Trooper some reindeer antlers too!

After Christmas at Trooper’s house I got to go see my cousin’s Chase & Jimmy!

We had some laughs, we even cried a little, but don’t worry…..we made up in the end. And lets just say I got a few dinner rolls thrown my way by my cousins. hehe.

It was the perfect end to my Holiday!

Holiday Adventure part 1

Posted on December 28, 2010 by Ammo

My Holiday Cheer came in lots of packages this year! Woo hoo! I must have done something really good to deserve it.

You might remember my Holiday Wish List I made earlier, well I think Santa must have seen it too, because he brought me lots of goodies that I wanted! I even got a few items from some very special friends!

First I got to open a special gift from my friend Buddy!

Just check out how awesome I look in my new SillyBuddy collar, and yes, it has mustaches on it. I mean come on, how cool is that!

It really made me smile!

Then I got to open a gift from my mom ….

And you’ll never guess what I got…..

It’s a mustache id tag to match my new collar from Makeyourdogsmile

I can’t wait to show off my new wardrobe at the dog park! Everyone will be jealous.

Then it was another gift from mom and dad!

A new squeak toy! Oh boy!

Then my dad got me my VERY OWN hamster!

(he was pretty fun…until I realized he wasn’t real!)

And then it was the very special gift from SANTA!

It’s reindeer antlers….maybe from Blitzen? Or Rudolph???? I’m so lucky! Don’t worry though, there was a note in the box from Santa that said they were naturally shed reindeer antlers, meaning no magic reindeers were harmed to get them, phew!

After Christmas at my house I got to go to my pal Trooper’s house for more Christmas!
