12 Days of Cheer! Annual Christmas Parade

12 Days of Cheer! Annual Christmas Parade // Ammo the Dachshund

Every year I look forward to a very special event in my home town. And that special event is the holiday Christmas parade! And lucky for me I always have a front row seat right outside my shop window in town!

Of course when the parade starts I’m always the first one out the door to cheer for all my favorite floats and parade attendees.

I’m always sure to sing along with the school bands in my best cheerful Christmas voice – because singing loudly for all to hear is the best way to spread Christmas Cheer!

Pretty colors, holiday happiness – it’s what makes this time of year oh so special.

Also, in case you were wondering, don’t worry, I wasn’t the only pup in attendance during the Christmas parade. Just check out this pup who took one for the team and dressed up as one of Santa’s reindeer! He looked so convincing I almost asked him for directions to the North Pole!

But the very best part of the holiday Christmas Parade is always when Santa arrives!

I made sure to shout out my Christmas list as we rode by…..incase he missed my other 5 letters I mailed to the North Pole!

Merry Christmas! Ammo the Dachshund

The Elusive Golden Bear

When I took a trip over the weekend to visit the flea markets in Kutztown, Pa – I didn’t just end my adventure with pillaging for buried treasures. No, there was another reason to travel north – to hunt for the elusive Golden Bear.

See Mom and Dad both attended Kutztown University, home of the Golden Bear – a magical creature I’m sure, and I was dead set on finding said bear.

But before I could head to campus in search of my Golden Bear I took a trip downtown where I took a nap on the sidewalk as mom and dad ate lunch. I must say, I attracted quite a few college students with my stunning good looks, but that was to be expected.

After lunch I made my way to campus where I began my search for the golden bear.

I searched high and low for my bear.

I really thought my bear would be in the school fountain too – on account of how hot it was – but sadly no bear here.

Then just when I was about to declare the golden bear as truly elusive – he decided to sneak up behind me.

Oh Golden Bear, you’re just as glorious as I expected.

The Return of the Speed Bump

Ever since I initiated the “Dachshund Speed Bump” at work 2 years ago it has become a permeant fixture in the shop.

The location of the “speed bump” changes slightly from day to day, but the main idea is always the same …..

…..get as many people as possible to slow down and pet you.

I’ll admit, it does sometimes make for an exhausting work day.

The hours are long and grueling and you have to be willing to work for dog biscuits alone.

But, it helps to keep yourself limber and stretch out every hour or so during the day.

So next time you visit my shop please make sure you do not pass over the Dachshund Speed Bump….because I’m watching you! 

 

In the Doghouse

No, I’m not grounded. Are you kidding? I’m a perfect angel ALL THE TIME, most of the time, sometimes. *wink* *wink*

Actually though, I am in the Doghouse. Doghouse Burgers that is. Yeah I know, coolest name EVER! And the best part is that Doghouse Burgers is located just across the street from my mom’s shop in town. So when I’m being an extra perfect Angel, mom sometimes takes me over there for dinner. And if I’m really really good, I even get a taste of the best burgers in town. yum yum

Is my meal ready yet?

I think I’m gonna need a doggie bag

P.S. they also have hot dogs. But don’t worry, they aren’t made from cute weiner dogs, I checked.
