Incognito

spider the kitten

It’s fall on the farm, and it’s my favorite time of year. Even Spider the kitten is excited about the new fallen leaves.

I have to say I’m a wee bit jealous of her – as she’s become a master at going incognito in her leaf surroundings.

Even Cricket can’t figure out how not to stick out like a sore thumb.

And Trooper, don’t even get me started on him, sometimes I don’t even think he tries!

I on the other hand “might” be able to pull off the incognito look, had somebody (*cough* mom) not dressed me in BRIGHT BLUE! Sheesh!

But, despite my shortcomings in the incognito department I can still chase the cats….

….and romp with the dogs. Blue coat and all! Happy Fall to All!

 

It’s Carving Time

Yesterday was Pumpkin Time, today it’s carving time! And boy did I carve some amazing pumpkins this year.

Ok fine, I might have done a little more frolicking and a little less carving.

ammo the dachshund frolicking

Alright, maybe it was a lot of frolicking.

I might have also taken a few Popsicle breaks. Yum.

But in my defense I had two willing parents suckers to do all my pumpkin carving for me.

You can pretty much get away with anything when you’re super adorable like me.

Happy Pumpkin Carving to me! (and all my blog-land friends too).

It’s Pumpkin Time

ammo the dachshund with pumpkins

Do you know what time it is? If you guessed pumpkin time, then you would be correct! And these fine pumpkins you see – well I got to pick out all of them!

Mom and Dad took me Hurricane Hill Farm to pick out my pumpkins, and I was so excited I couldn’t help but let out a yell.

Last year I did the corn maze, but this year it was all about the pumpkins.

There were so many pumpkins to choose from I really didn’t know where to start.

Slowly I began to load up my wagon with all my favorites.

And I might have licked a few, you know, just to make sure I was picking the tastiest ones.

At the end of the day I came home with a wheelbarrow full of the very best pumpkins.

Do you like the pumpkins I picked? Any other pups out there know of some other dog friendly pumpkin patches? Do tell! Tomorrow I’ll share what I carved into my pumpkins!

 

Flying High at the Dog Park

Over the weekend mom and dad took me to the dog park.

I was having a fantastic time chasing float-away leaves in the stream until I noticed something new at the park!

ammo the dachshund at dog park

Dog agility jumps! Being one to never pass up an opportunity to practice my high-flying super hero skills I couldn’t resist testing them out.

All the big dogs were jealous, because man was I FLYING!

I bet you’re jealous too! Skills like this are hard to come by and I totally rocked those dog agility jumps.

Warp speed baby – so lightning fast even my ears are left behind!

Epic Battle

ammo and trooper

Me and Trooper were hanging out at the farm last night, picking up leftover grain under the feed tubs, when we suddenly remembered we had something really important to do.

ammo and trooper

We had an epic battle to attend to….of Jedi vs. Jedi in an ultimate lightsaber battle of wits!

Let the battle begin!

It was pretty intense, so I had to take frequent refueling breaks at the water bowl. A Jedi can’t fight thirsty afterall.

The battle lasted for hours…although we could have gone on for days. But in the end….

….somehow we both ended up snuggled next to each other on the couch. Honestly, I have no idea how we got there – it must have been one EPIC battle!

 

Super-Duper Halloween

ammo the dachshund super hero

You may be asking yourself why today of all days I’m dawning my fashionable super hero cape and stunt helmet.

ammo the dachshund super hero

Sadly it’s not because I have any damsels in distress to rescue today, nor do I have any dragons to fight. No, it’s something much more important than that.

ammo the dachshund super hero

It’s Halloween Party time! Wooohoo!

Mom and Dad are hosting a Halloween party this year, and the theme? Super Heroes of course!

ammo the dachshund super hero

I’m still working out my wardrobe selection, but I definitely think I’m in the running for best dressed!

Kings in the Corner

ammo the dachshund nursing home

I may not be a regular like Trooper, but I’m no stranger to a nursing home visit. And when I do visit, it’s the highlight of my day!

ammo the dachshund nursing home

Getting to ride the elevator is so much fun, especially when mom lets me press the button!

Then me and Trooper get to spend time visiting with everyone – and posing for the mandated photo op.

ammo the dachshund nursing home

Everyone always has a good time, because honestly, who doesn’t love a Dachshund in a sweater? But at the end of the day I really only came for one thing……

….to whoop everyone at Kings in the Corner!

Birthday Week: More Gifts!

Just when I thought there were no more presents to be had during Birthday week I got an extra special surprise in the mail all the way from Canada!

ammo the dachshund - glowdoggie

Leila & Harriet from Glowdoggie sent me one of their new neon green mini collars for my Birthday! Aren’t they so sweet. And they must have known how much of a spoiled sport Trooper is too, because they sent one along for him too.

ammo the dachshund - glowdoggie

I’m pretty certain that we will be playing “star wars” with our new “light sabers” out on the farm very very soon.

ammo the dachshund - glowdoggie

So thanks girls! I’m sending some wet nose kisses your way!

molly mutt dog duvet

Mom also surprised me with one more gift (which hasn’t quite arrived yet…..shame on her for ordering too late) – it’s a new Molly Mutt duvet cover! Now I just have to decide whether to put it on my dog bed at home – or in the shop…..hummm decisions, decisions.
