Ponies + Dachshund + Snow = Fun

My snow day recap…..

Me: I will Blitz! Just as soon as I get my snow suit on!

Blitz: But me and Boomer have already started having fun without you!

Me: Nooooo! I’m coming! Don’t have anymore fun without me!

Me: I’d be there faster if you came and helped me dig myself out!

Sigh.

Sometimes I just miss out on all the fun!

 

Friday Fetch: Doxie Sculptures

Today’s Friday Fetch is from Bunny with a Tool Belt, where cute and colorful wooden sculptures is the name of the game. They just make me smile! And what’s even better then a whimsical sculpture, but a sculpture of a cute little Dachshund, because we all know that Dachshunds are the cutest dogs there ever were! Sorry but I am a little biased, do you blame me?

for the love of DOG from Hilary Pfeifer on Vimeo.

Here are two of my favorite Dachshund Sculptures.

The rockin’ out Doxie.

And the Double Rainbow Dachshund, you know, because double rainbows are AMAZING.

Shop for these super cute Dachshund sculptures here.

Oh what fun it is to play….

Do you remember the toy hamster my dad got me for Christmas? Well, I finally got a chance to play with him last week! And boy was he a barrel of laughs!

Don’t worry, no hamsters were harmed in the making of these videos!

2011 Dachshund Goals

Instead of doing “NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS” I’m going to come up with a list of goals. Things I’d like to do and accomplish this year. My mom made a list of her own for the Trick Ponies (and me) so now it’s my turn to figure out exactly what I want to do this year.

So here’s my list of goals for 2011:

1. Take another agility class or maybe even COMPETE in agility

2. Actually win a race at the Dachshund Races this year

3. Make MORE artwork

4. Visit some nursing homes

5. Perform more with the Trick Ponies

6. Learn at least 10 new tricks

7. Dress up more often

8. Go on vacation

9. Try something new

10. Giggle more

Phew. That was a little harder than I thought! Now do you think I can do it? Have any ideas of what I should add to my list? Anyone learn any new tricks already? (I need to get cracking on that goal)

Christmas Wrap-up

I know Christmas is long over, but…..I forgot to tell you about some of the cool things my mom & dad got for Christmas. Honestly, I think there was a mistake, and they were supposed to be for me – Santa must have gotten confused. Either way, I’m sure mom and dad won’t mind if I play with them too!

Mom got a super cool Dachshund pen. I think it looks like me, don’t you?

Photobooth Dogs! Ahhhh! Santa must read my blog!

101 dog tricks! Santa knows me well!

Mom got the super cool Silhouette SD – master at cutting crafts….you know I got lots of projects up my sleeves paws for 2011! Humm, I’m thinking Ammo the Dachshund die cut stickers to plaster all over the World….the possibilities are endless!

Mom’s big gift from Dad – a phone with internet capabilities! We all know this was really just a gift for me….you know, so I can update my facebook page and blog on the fly. Afterall, it’s got my picture on it doesn’t it?

Now all I gotta do is get to the store to pick out which phone I want. Do you think they have ones with buttons big enough for paws?

Merry Christmas!

I was so excited to wait up all night so that I could see Santa……

You see I just knew he’d let me be a part of his reindeer team….especially with my brand new antlers that mom helped me make.

I tried to stay awake, I really did!

Alas, those visions of sugar plums began dancing in my head, and before I knew it I had missed Santa’s visit all together.

Sigh.

There’s always next year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! xoxo your pal Ammo!

Downingtown Christmas Parade

Lucky for me, every year the Downingtown Christmas Parade comes right past my mom’s shop. Meaning I get a prime spot for watching all the festivities!

In 2007, my friend Minnow was in the parade….

Maybe someday I’ll get to be in the parade too! Paws crossed! What do you think I should dress up as should the need ever arise for a Christmas Doxie?

Santa Paws!

Most of my facebook friends already know, but I got to visit Santa Paws on Saturday!!

Santa decided to make a special trip from the North Pole to visit all of the good little dogs of Downingtown, Pa. And if getting to sit on Santa’s lap wasn’t enough, I got to meet lots of new friends!

I even met another Doxie just like me!

Yea, Dutchess the Dachshund kinda freaked me out with her glowing eyes too. Me and Trooper were scared. Do you see Trooper in the background waiting to see Santa!?

I made faces at Trooper while he got his picture taken.

Although I have to admit, I’m a little jealous of his pearly white smile! Trooper’s that is. But despite Trooper’s toothy grin, I can still one-up him…..

….I can fit on Santa’s lap!

And yes, I was a tad scared of Santa. Hopefully he won’t hold that against me and will still stuff his sleigh with goodies for me! Please Please Please no coal for Xmas Santa. I promise to leave you milk and cookies.

And in case you missed it, here’s a photo of me in 2008….the very first time I met Santa Paws.

P.S. Santa told me to relay a message to all my Friends……. Merry Christmas!!!

Visiting with Santa Paws benefited the SPCA of Chester County.

The Holiday Spirit

This weekend I was busy getting into the Holiday Spirit with my family! A trip to see “Santa Paws” & some Christmas tree shopping was in store. Don’t worry, I stayed bundled up in my winter coat for both occasions.

Today I’m recovering from my “Holiday Spirit Weekend” with a little of this….

I’ve got lots of pictures to share this week from my awesome adventure! I’m sure it will put everyone into the Holiday Spirit! 🙂
