Live to Stink

Dirty Dog Gets Caught

Sometimes after a successful day of “stink” hunting on the farm I can’t help but feel super proud of myself for the most recent rich potent smell I found. I mean it’s a real art to find the best spot to roll in.

Dirty Dog Gets Caught

After inevitably tracking me down with my GPS tracker (thanks for ratting me out Trax!*), mom never quite appreciates my most recent stink-capades. It’s only a matter of minutes before she utters those words…..B..A..T..H.

Trooper and I pride ourselves in being super awesome barn dogs. We take our jobs very seriously, and immerse ourselves in everything on the farm.

Our favorite thing to “immerse” ourselves in on the farm……pony poop! We’re so fortunate that our farm has an abundance of it too. Did you know it’s a real delicacy in dog culture?

After a day of “farm life” Trooper and I can get pretty stinky (just how we like it). Our mom’s haven’t come to appreciate the highly cultivated “barn dog scent” yet, so alas a roll in the manure pile inevitably leads to bath time.

Thanks to our new friends at Absorbine® we now have a product that makes the whole bath experience quicker so Trooper and I can get back to our farm duties faster!

Now all we had to do was wait for Boomerang to get out of the wash stall…..he always hogs all the warm water!

Mom loved how it made it easy to wash two dogs at once in the barn wash stall (since there wasn’t anywhere convenient to tie us up to) and all she needed was a hose and the Woof Pouf.

Farm Dog Duties

Posted on by

Farm life isn’t always fun and games, sometimes there are important chores to be done.

Labor Day Weekend Fun with Ammo the Dachshund

When a big delivery of hay from our farmer friends showed up at the barn, I knew Trooper and I would have a busy afternoon helping to unload it.

So it was up to the hay loft to prepare for some heavy lifting!

Farm Life + Stacking Hay

The farmer’s kids tagged along on the adventure, and Trooper and I thought they smelled like dirt, candy, and a hint of worms. You know, all the stuff little boys normally smell like.

Farm Life + Stacking Hay

With the hay elevator hooked up, it was time to get stacking.

Farm Life + Stacking Hay

Only Trooper and I realized that stacking hay was better left to the humans, you know, because of the paws and all.

That’s ok though, because Trooper and I found other ways to be useful and we promptly broke out into a wrestling match to entertain the farmer’s boys.

After the hay was stacked in place in the loft Trooper and I set out to inspect every last bale. We’re very paw-ticular about what our special ponies are eating. So we go in search of anything that shouldn’t be in there, sometimes we even find smooshed snakes or other rodents!

Farm Life + Stacking Hay

This time everything checked out a-okay though, aside from us picking up a few cobwebs along the way.

Farm Life + Stacking Hay

That’s ok though, the cobwebs are part of our patented “farm dog” smell. The verdict is still out on which scent is better…..little boy, or farm dog. (but it’s pretty safe to say that anything stinky is the BEST SCENT EVER).Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Does your dog like to help with dirty tasks too?

I don’t know about you, but personally I’m a dog that loves to be dirty ALL THE TIME! My parents can’t always appreciate my carefully applied aroma, and I don’t particularly LOVE spending every night in the bathtub. So when I stumbled across PuppyTails Spritz & Sniff Deodorizing Spray, it sounded like a happy medium.

Available in 2 fun scents (coconut and rosemary) from PetFancy these Spritzers will keep your pup’s coat feeling and smelling clean!

Stink Happens

Posted on by

As some of my facebook fans may have already seen, I had a glorious time over the weekend, and it looked a little something like this:

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

Oh yes, it was the perfect combination of horse poop, mud, dead animal, and wet!

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

I was basking in the glow of my dirtiness, and so excited to show mom and dad, that is until the word BATH was mentioned!

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

“But mom, it’s the perfectly pungent summertime aroma – I know, because I smelled it”.

My pleas were unheard as I found myself in the ponies’ wash stall – it was utter disappointment.

When it was all over I smelled like roses and sunshine……it was HORRIBLE! Oh well, live to stink another day! Ammo the Dachshund

Spring Bath

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

When the weather starts to warm up I always know that I will be spending a lot more time in the bathtub than I’d really care to.

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

Arguably it’s not my favorite thing in the World, but I like to think I’m pretty tolerable of the deed.

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

And it’s really not that BAD, especially since mom always provides cookies. A bath without cookies is like rolling in dead worms with a coat on – pointless – and precisely what got me into this mess in the first place.

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

After bath time I’m left smelling like sunshine and daisies – not what super awesome dogs that dig holes in the backyard and hunt for bunnies should be smelling like. So it’s best to rub that smell off as quickly as possible.

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

Pretty soon I’ll be dry and looking for my next big thing to roll in. This time I’m thinking horse manure and kitty litter – if I plan it just right then mom won’t have time to give me a bath before we go to work. Always gotta be thinking! Smell ya later, xoxo Ammo the Dachshund

Where have all the furry animals gone?

Posted on by

As winter approaches on the farm, things can get a little desolate. The birds flew south for the winter and all my furry little farm friends are hibernating.

ammo the dachshund on the farm

Some days I wander around aimlessly just hoping to find a squirrel to chase, or sit longingly at one of my groundhog holes.

ammo the dachshund on the farm

And then some days lady luck shines down on me and I find a dried up worm along my travels.

ammo the dachshund on the farm

We play the epic battle of eternal debate as I contemplate whether or not to bury it.

ammo the dachshund on the farm

Most times my impatient self wins out and I do what any cute little dachshund that longs for summer and furry animals to chase would do…

ammo the dachshund on the farm

…I roll on top of that stinky little worm until I too smell like stink.

ammo the dachshund on the farm

It’s not as good as chasing squirrels, barking at birds, or hunting groundhogs – but at least it’s something!

ammo the dachshund on the farm

Sigh. Please come back furry friends, I promise I’ll give you a head start in our never ending game of chase.

Morning

Posted on by

Mornings on the farm can be pretty peaceful.

I’m usually greeted at the door by my partner in crime, Spider the kitten.

spider the kitten

Most mornings she yells at my mom to feed her – while I dart inside to figure out what new adventures there are to be had.

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

Sometimes the only “adventure” to be had is sunbathing in the morning sun. And that’s ok.

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

But other days, you just itch for something more exciting. Something that makes you want to shout from the roof tops your groundhog hole. And just when you think that there might not be any “adventures” to have – the heavens shine down and your day becomes glorious again – because you found a DEAD SNAKE!

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

And the only reasonable thing you can think of to do……

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

……roll on top of that sucker until you smell just as stinky as it does.

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

It really turned out to be a glorious morning on the farm, don’t you think?

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

But don’t worry, even if you didn’t find a “dead snake” this morning the day is not lost…..

…..because I’m more than happy to mail you my dead snake – so you can also have a glorious morning too!
