My Busy Memorial Day Weekend

Posted on May 28, 2014 by Ammo

It’s always hard to get back to the grind after a long holiday weekend. When I get a few extra days off work I tend to try and pack in as much stuff as I can…..sometimes too much! Check out the fun adventures I had over the long weekend…

I kicked things off on Friday by celebrating my Dad’s Birthday! Of course I always volunteer by helping to open presents.

Then on Saturday I headed to the farm to celebrate my best friend Trooper’s 7th Birthday! Horray! I got to spend all evening with Trooper (and open his presents too) while my mom and dad headed to the wedding for my Aunt & Uncle!

Sunday I was up bright and early to spend some time with my ponies!

Then I hit the trail with my pal Shilah while my dad and Shilah’s dad played Disc Golf.

Shilah and I burned lots of calories hiking the course on this hot day!

And I may have snuck in a nap or two along the way.

Then on Memorial Day I was on the move again as I took a trip to the Devon Horse Show.

I had fun making new friends, and watching all the ponies compete! I’ll be back later to share some more details about my fun trip to Devon.

Later that day I made it back to the farm to enjoy a Barbecue with all my favorite people.

Trooper and Cricket included!

As you can imagine by the end of my long weekend I looked like this, and could barely move a muscle!

But, you know what they say, a tired dog is a happy dog! What did you do over the long weekend?

Ponies, Dogs, and Movie Stars, Oh My!

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Ammo

You might remember that back in July the Painting Ponies and I began filming for the a brand new Painting Pony DVD. And while my Uncle Taylor still has lots of editing to do before we can release our big Trick Performances DVD, I just couldn’t wait any longer to share our new Intro Video for the website.

I know you are all on the edge of your seats in anticipation, so without dragging it out any longer, here it is in all it’s glory….

And to answer your question, yes, I did most of my scenes in the nude. You’re welcome. *wink*

You can check out all the wonderful artwork that the ponies and I created on the Painting Pony Website.

Until our new DVD is available for purchase, you can also check out The Trick Ponies of Chincoteague DVD which has my happy little face on it too.

Ammo the Movie Star is Here!

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Ammo

Ok, so maybe I won’t really be seeing my name on a star in Hollywood (a dog can dream) – but in the World of Magical Painting Ponies, I am a movie star! (and technically I have been on National Television before via Animal Planet – check it out here)

Last week my Uncle Taylor came to visit from his home in North Carolina. Taylor is an uber talented videographer and editor – shooting weddings, commercials, documentaries, training videos, and much much more. And guess what…..he brought his video equipment with him!

The name of the game was filming some brand new videos for Painting Pony.

And although my pony friends did make a shining appearance on these new videos – we all know who the real star is…

…me!

I had some big important roles, and don’t worry, I totally gave it 110%.

I even got to do some serious action shots – with multiple takes!

I also got to perform on the video with my bestest buddy Trooper.

It was aaaaamazing!

And, incase you are wondering – yes I did my own stunts!

I can hardly wait to see the finished product, and as soon as it’s done I’ll be sure to let everyone know! And if you are counting down the days to see yours truly on DVD, you can check out The Trick Ponies of Chincoteague DVD which has my happy little face on it too.

A Special Note

Posted on October 4, 2011 by Ammo

I had to interrupt Birthday week for a minute to make a special announcement…..

HAPPY 3 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD!

And on a side note, had I been invited to your wedding (nevermind the fact that I wasn’t born until the day after) you could have had a whole slew of adorable photos of me crashing the party just like this one…

Stop giving me the evil eye Minnow!

You can check out a video of Minnow attending the wedding over on the Trick Ponies’ Blog today. And yes, I am pretty jealous that I wasn’t in attendance.

Friday Fetch: Dogs at Weddings

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Ammo

I decided to have a little fun today via one of my new favorite sites, Pinterest. So while looking for something fun to share with you guys for my Friday Fetch, I decided to search “dog wedding” (you know, just for fun). The result looked a little something like this:

Magical right? Sadly I didn’t get to attend my mom & dad’s wedding (I was born the very next day!) – but I suppose it would have looked a little something like this:

Yes, I’m quite jealous that Minnow got to attend the festivities without me. He even got a very important job!

He was the “flower pony” and had to walk down the wedding isle tossing flowers as he went. He was such a good “flower pony” that I was thinking maybe I should hire him out. I can see it now, “Amazingly talented pony tosses flowers at wedding for big time celebrities”. I’m totally gonna be rich. hehe.
