Silently he follows me. No matter how hard I try I can’t shake him loose.
He sniffs everything I sniff and wags his tail at everything I wag at.
But he’s also really really good at…….
…..making me appear much bigger and tougher than I actually am.
Be scared, because my shadow’s got my back.
Today is my mom’s 189th Birthday! Ok fine, 27 in people years, but it sounds way cooler to say 189. I wanted to get my Mom something extra special because she’s so nice to me.

But, Dad said he didn’t think she would really appreciate the gesture. So instead I got her this book.
ok fine, Dad got her the book. But if I didn’t know any better I’d say this book, about a SUPER HERO DACHSHUND, was written about me!
You can buy your own copy of the book here.
Dad also got Mom one of these….

(Sadly not the cowboy, just the lasso.) It’s so me and Mom can play cowboys! I already signed Trooper up to be the bull we lasso. I think he’s in trouble, because mom has some super sweet lasso moves already. Just check out the video.
Happy Birthday Mom, love your favorite Dachshund side-kick, Ammo

Do you know what this wagging tail means? It’s game night…..
Everyone wants me on their lap during game night.
Perhaps it might be because I shout the answers out. hehe.

Dear Dr. Seuss,
Apparently I missed your Birthday. It was yesterday.
I would have been way more excited had you written about a super cute Dachshund in a hat. Who wants to read about a cat anyway? Sorry I didn’t get you a present. Maybe next year.
Love,
Your Pal Ammo
P.S. If you have any leftover green eggs and ham please send it my way.
Cricket and I are sad. Sad because something is missing.
It’s Spider the Kitten.
Mom says not to worry, because Spider just had to visit the vet for a few days to get spayed, and that she’ll be back before we know it.
So me and Cricket are going to sit and wait for our feisty little friend to return to the farm. Because things just aren’t the same without her.
P.S. Want to hear all about mom’s trip with Boomerang to the Horse World Expo? And their Extreme Cowboy Race Competition? Check out the ponie’s blog entry all about it HERE!
It always starts so innocently. You’re just having a good sniff in the wilderness with your best pal….
….and then the next thing you know, you’re fighting over a towel.
Sometimes you can win the fight…..
….and then other days you’re just feeling really weak restricted by some cumbersome winter coats.
So if you think you “might” lose, there is always one full-proof plan.
Run to mom for help.
And then when your opponent gets scolded by mom…..you attack!
Playing dead afterward will ensure that you get lots of loving from mom.
Now go forth and be victorious. And please, don’t tell Trooper my fighting secrets.
Sometimes my adventures aren’t THAT exciting. But a dogs gotta do what a dogs gotta do.
Just twiddling my paws and waiting for my ride to finish getting an oil change.
I was actually quite bummed that mom wouldn’t let me play at the kid’s table. Sigh. We better have a GOOD adventure tomorrow!
Admit it, some of the squeaky toys they make for dogs are just plain lame. Really.
And then there are these squeaky toys from VIP PRODUCTS……
They even have some super tuff dog toys, you know, for dogs like me who are super tough!
You can even sign up to be a toy tester and save big on lots of really cool dog toys! You better believe I’m making my Birthday wish list right now!
I don’t know what to think. Every time I come to the farm it seems like Boomerang is loosing more and more hair. Honestly, I’m a little scared I might be next!
Hang in there pal. I really hope it all grows back!
Yesterday we got more snow. It was fantastic. Everything smells different when it snows.
It’s like I get to re-sniff everything I sniffed before. Even my pal Spider the Kitten likes the snow.
I pretty much taught her everything she knows.
Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to exploring my new world.
