12 Days of Cheer! The Annual Christmas Tree Murder

Posted on December 19, 2014 by Ammo

The Annual Murdering of our Christmas Tree // Ammo the Dachshund

Every year I head off to the Tricolor Tree Farm to ~~cut down~~ murder my holiday tree.

The Annual Murdering of our Christmas Tree // Ammo the Dachshund

After spending a good while looking for our unsuspecting tree victim we take the obligatory selfie with the “chosen one”.

All before chopping it down to bring into our home. It’s sort of a funny tradition if you really think about it, but my dad takes the tree murdering very seriously.

And before you know it, the deed is done, and our tree is ready to be carted off to its new home.

The friendly staff at Tricolor help to wrap up my tree, just incase there is any chance of it escaping on our way home.

Tied and bound, he’s off on an adventure of epic Christmas tree proportions.

Olga’s 90th Birthday

Posted on December 9, 2014 by Ammo

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

For the second time this year I was invited to a very special lady’s 90th Birthday Party!

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

My dear friend Olga is one of my favorite customers at my shop, and without fail she always brings me a bag of cookies (and lots of sweet kisses) every time she visits.

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

So I was so very excited when I was invited to Olga’s Surprise 90th Birthday Party with all of her friends and family.

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

Now one thing to know about my friend Olga is that she’s one of the biggest dog (and pony) lovers there ever was. And over the years she has accumulated a lot of furry friends – including my pal Minnow who she met at one of his very first public appearances ever!

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

So as you can imagine there were a lot of 4 legged attendees at Olga’s party.

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

Olga even had her pony friend Rainy come to visit her!

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

Now really, a birthday party with dogs AND ponies…..best birthday party ever in my book!

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

A very Happy Birthday to my dear friend Olga! I wish you many many more, and next year I think we should invite even more ponies to your party!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to pick up my Adventure Awaits T-shirt to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue! Check it out HERE!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway

Posted on December 8, 2014 by Ammo

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Mimi Green.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my new friends at Mimi Green sent me one of their Laser Engraved Buckle Collars to test out.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With a hole slew of collar patterns, colors, and styles I almost couldn’t decide which one I would like to wear. That is until I spotted this lovely velvet teal color (aka the Zack Collar) and I just knew it would be perfect!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Laser Engraved buckle is a plastic/metal hybrid which is great for dogs of all sizes, but especially smaller breeds because it makes the collar weigh less than a full metal buckle.

And if you’re someone that can’t stand the sound of jingle jangle id tags as your dog runs around the house, you can always forgo them if you like since your dog’s identification is right on the collar!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

While a velvet collar is probably not optimal on the farm (as it may collect a little too much “farm”), I just couldn’t help but take my new Mimi Green Collar for a fun farm photoshoot.

The pretty teal color just popped out there! And their velvet collars also come in lots of other fun colors.
