No Big Woof

Just yesterday mom snapped this photo of me while Dad was working on a project at the shop. Some may be surprised that I was able to nap through a power drill right by my bed, but there is a really good reason as to why this sort of thing doesn’t bother me. See, my mom and dad are artists and DIYers, which means that power tools are pretty much NO BIG WOOF to me anymore.

Pet Friendly Kitchen Renovation via Ammo the Dachshund

I made it through an entire Kitchen remodel in 2015.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Building of a Farmhouse

I helped with excavation on the farm.

Ammo the Dachshund // Post and Beam House Construction

I helped Trooper with his post and beam house in 2012.

Ammo the Dachshund // On the Job // Construction

I helped lay radiant flooring.

Ammo the Dachshund // Puppy // Farmwork

And on my VERY first day with my new family I helped build fencing.

So yup, power tools are NO BIG WOOF.

Now vacuum cleaners ….that’s a whole other story.

The Return of my Arch Nemesis

He’s back. My arch nemesis, THE VACUUM! I really don’t like him. I know I’m supposed to be a tough farm dog, but sometimes you just gotta wimp out.

And by wimp out I mean hide under a pile of blankies.

Dad doesn’t make it any less scary, because he insists on vacuuming the house with the SHOP VAC! And I am almost certain that the shop vac could definitely suck up a Dachshund or two.

I’ll just have to keep visiting my happy place. …..I’m chasing squirrels…… I’m down a badger hole….. what sucking? ……..I don’t hear any sucking.

I’m a pretty tough dude. I hunt rodents, perform tricks with ponies, guard the house from intruders, and bravely stare danger in the face. But there is one thing that frightens me! ….

..Vacuums!

They make scary noises, the suck things up (perhaps little Dachshunds too), and they just give me the heebie-jeevies. Do you blame me? Me and the vacuum don’t have any horrible incidents in our past, so I’m not sure why I hate him so much. Perhaps it’s because my bestest pal Trooper is afraid of vacuums. I think for now I’ll just have to blame my fear on him!
