Super Dog vs. Super Pony – School Addition

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Ammo

***UPDATE*** we realize this video is being blocked for some people – as soon as possible we will upload another version. Thanks for baring with these technical difficulties!

Do you remember when I made my first Elementary School Visit with my pal Minnow back in May? Well, the day has finally come – my live performance video with Minnow is complete! My Uncle Taylor (the filmmaker) shot and edited this whole video – and it turned out really cool! Not that it wouldn’t, considering I’m the star of the show.

P.S. Minnow may have won the trophy this time, but there is no way I’ll let him beat me next time!

***UPDATE*** if you are having trouble watching the video above, try this version (without the super cool super hero music) – ON YOUTUBE

Rumor has it that mom’s recapping all of Minnow’s adventures on Chincoteague Island last week on his blog. Which also means she’s hogging all my computer time….jeesh!

So while I patiently (or not so patiently depending on how you look at it) wait my turn on the computer – you can head on over to Minnow’s blog to check out all the fun I missed when they went to Chincoteague. And don’t forget, there is one more day to enter my giveaway for a FREE Scratch Art Painting! It just might be your lucky day!

Chincoteague Fries

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Ammo

If you haven’t heard…..My mom is back! After spending the week on Chincoteague Island with my best pony pal, Minnow, she returned on Friday – bringing gifts for me of course!

In my case, my beach fries didn’t come from the Fireman’s Carnival – but instead, this cute little shop, Howl Naturale, down mainstreet. (UPDATE, this company is no longer in business unfortunately)

It would of been way sweeter had I been there in person – and able to sample their wares myself, but either way I was more than happy to dive into my bucket of fries in the comfort of my own home.

Mmmmmm, it tastes just like if I was at the beach too!

Super Dog and Super Fort

Posted on July 28, 2011 by Ammo

I’ve been hanging out in my Super Fort all week while my mom and Minnow are in Chincoteague. And yesterday I finally got to talk to my mom on the phone, and she said Minnow has been working very hard performing at the Pony Centre all week. She even e-mailed me this picture of Minnow being all…..Super!

Apparently he’s been drinking a lot of this:

And after I hung up with mom and headed back to my Super Fort, I realized something was missing.

My SUPER CAPE!

Yeah, we all know who’s going to win go fish today!

P.S. Mom, if you are reading this – it was Minnow II and Ammo II that unrolled all the toilet paper in the bathroom….I swear I told them not to!

Super Fort!

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Ammo

Remember when I told you yesterday that my pal Minnow and my Mom left me all week to go have fun on Chincoteague Island without me? And remember how sad I was? Well, I decided to make the most of my time alone all week at home – and I did what anyone in my situation would do……I built a fort in the basement!

ammo the dachshund's super fort!

Welcome, to my Super Fort!

The Super Fort is quite awesome, and I even brought along a soda for later.

I was really having a good time in my Super Fort, but then I started to miss my Mom and Minnow again. That’s where Minnow II comes in.

Minnow II looks just like the real Minnow! And the best part is that he doesn’t even slobber on me when he gives me kisses!

The real Minnow – see, almost as good as the real thing!

Anyway, Minnow II said he’d play cards with me – on account of I was all lonely at home.

ammo the dachshund's super fort!

Oh, and to my left is Ammo II – I decided it’s always best to have Dachshund’s outnumber ponies when you are playing cards.

I might have lost the card game and thrown a little temper tantrum. But in my defense, I think Minnow II cheated.

Those crafty ponies and their go fish cheating ways!

Friday Fetch: Dog Pool Float

Posted on July 22, 2011 by Ammo

dog pool float lounger They don’t call it the dog days of summer for nothing! It’s scorching out there right now! That’s why if I had a pool I’d totally be begging mom and dad for one of these. Come to think of it, they might work out just great for floating down the Brandywine River too! Ooooooh Mom….

The Dog Pool Float Louger from Frontgate makes it so your favorite partner in crime can float in style – or stay cool as he lounges on the deck. It’s made of Vinyl-coated fabric and nonporous foam with make it ultra-buoyant and strong. It’s also crafted with puncture-resistant, woven vinyl mesh that won’t stain, fade, or mildew. When dampened, it will keep your pet cool and relaxed. They come in a variety of colors and sizes.

You can fetch your own Dog Pool Float Lounger from Frontgate for $90 – $130

Dirty Looks

Posted on July 21, 2011 by Ammo

ammo and trooper

We’re having a heatwave in Pennsylvania right now. Which means that Trooper and I (and the kitties) can be found trotting around the farm with our tongues hanging out….it’s that hot!

ammo and trooper

It’s so hot in fact, that our wrestling/play matches have mellowed greatly. Normally Trooper would give me this look and I’d make a B-line for his ankles – you know, to take him down for giving me dirty looks.

ammo and trooper

Instead I’ve had to resort to name calling, because wrestling in this heat just isn’t going to happen. Nana-a-boo-boo, stick you’re head in doo-doo!

P.S. a word to the wise, don’t resort to name calling unless you are fast as lightning like me – or it could end very very badly.

Have some Cake and eat it Too!

ammo the dachshund's nose

This is my nose, it’s super good at smelling things.

And it’s because of my nose that I ended up in the ponies’ paddock the other day.

Ammo the dachshund birthday cake

Now I know what you’re thinking……it’s not a real Birthday cake. Yes, I was a little disappointed too, but my nose didn’t bring me here because I smelled Birthday cake.

Ammo the dachshund birthday cake

No, I smelled something different, something better.

It’s called poly-fill! And just because it’s not a real cake, doesn’t mean it’s any less fun to ~~eat~~ destroy.

Seriously, I don’t know what I’d do without my nose!

This is Annie and her Dad. I met Annie on Sunday at the 4 Dogs Tavern while I was there grabbing some dinner with my mom and dad. Now normally I consider myself a pretty tough guy, but Annie, well she’s even tougher.

See this is Annie’s motorcycle! She has a special seat in the back and has her very own pink helmet and goggles. I was too embarrassed to tell Annie that I have a helmet too – except I use mine to play Super Heroes.
