Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 8

Posted on November 13, 2015 by Ammo

It’s the best day ever! It’s time to share my monthly round-up of all the fabulous places I’ve been sleeping the past 4 weeks in my Oh The Places You Sleep Series.

As it starts to get cooler in Pennsylvania you’ll notice I’m doing a lot more blanket snuggling, and curling up. Before you know it I’ll need to break out my heat lamp to keep warm during my napping sessions!

Enjoy Vol. 8 of my Oh the Places You Sleep Series!

Chasing Squirrels

Posted on November 12, 2015 by Ammo

The other day while out on a walk through the park I spotted something that made me a little crazy.

Ammo the Dachshund Chases Squirrels up Trees

I claim it was a squirrel, mom thinks it was a leaf, and we pretty much agree to disagree.

We may never really know what was up that tree for sure, but it sure was fun trying to catch it!

Does your dog like to chase things up trees? Any brave squirrel hunters in this group?

New in the Shop! Ammo the Dachshund’s 2016 Calendar

Posted on November 11, 2015 by Ammo

I’m so excited to share with you my latest project for my online shop, Flying Hero!

Due to your feedback, I’ve created my brand new 2016 Calendar in a new size and all new images!

Even though in today’s World everyone has calendars and organizers on their phones, it’s still nice to have a happy little calendar to hang on your wall.
And there’s nothing happier than looking at my face every single day!

My 2016 Calendar measures 6″ w x 12″ h and comes punched with a hole for easy hanging on your wall or cork board. (each photo of the calendar measures 6″ x 6″).

The very best part though? I will be DONATING $5 from every sale to the Chester County SPCA. Yay for helping animal rescues!

Each month features a different photograph of me and all photos are printed professionally on archival quality paper. At the end of the year/month the photos would be great for framing and hanging on your wall. (you know if you can’t get enough of me!)

Currently I’m taking pre-orders, and they will begin shipping just after Thanksgiving – with plenty of time for Holiday Gifts!

You can snag one of my 2016 Calendars from my online shop, but hurry, there are limited quantities of these and once they sell out I won’t have any more!

Shipping & Receiving

Posted on November 5, 2015 by Ammo

Last week a box filled with packing materials made its way into the shop.

Shipping & Receiving with a Dachshund

Since I’m never one to pass up the opportunity to play in a box (don’t knock it until you try it!), I wasted no time in jumping right in.

Shipping & Receiving with a Dachshund

Then I had a thought! Hey mom, since I’m already all packed up you might as well ship me to the nearest pet store. I’ll make sure to tell them to ship me back before dinner!

Happy Shipping and Receiving Day!

Meeting Mr. Bones

Posted on October 27, 2015 by Ammo

So you might have already caught a sneak peek at my new pal, Mr. Bones, a few weeks ago when he helped out with my Martha Stewart Pets photoshoot.

Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Toys + A Giveaway

Well, he actually came home to live with me in the very beginning of October. Mom says he’s from an “adoption place” called Target.

Skeleton Dachshund

While I’m not quite sure how I feel about sharing my home and toys with another dog, the good news is he doesn’t eat very much!

And just for kicks, here’s what happened when I first met Mr. Bones….

Did you catch that little “jab” I gave him. I had to give him a big ole’ bite in the spine…you know, just so he remembers who’s in charge.

Want to see more Mr. Bones fun? You can follow the #skeletondachshund hashtag on Instagram to see all the fun the other Dachshunds out there are having with their Mr. Bones clones.

Happy Dog Loves the Beach

Posted on October 21, 2015 by Ammo

A few weekends ago my mom and dad decided to take me on a fun adventure to the Delaware Beaches. And you know what that means? There are going to be a bazillion photos of me running like a crazy dog on the beach in this post!

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

Now if you have followed my blog for a while, then you may already know that I LOVE the beach! While I’m not so much a fan of the ocean per-say, I am a fan of the sand. Digging, rolling, and running in it are my idea of a good time.

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

Despite the fact that it was a little bit chilly, you can tell by the smile on my face just how happy being at the beach made me!

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

I spent some time relaxing on the beach, and then set out on a late afternoon walk.

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

It wasn’t long before my parents finally unhooked the leash so I could run as much as my heart desired!

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

And run I did!

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

If you’ve ever wondered how I keep such a fit figure….this is how! I was built to run!

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

After some running I decided it might be nice to cool off in the water. Good thing I found it to be a bit too chilly for me, because you’ll never guess what I found in one of the tide pools!

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

Oh yes! That’s a small shark right there (with sadly a hook & bobber stuck on him) in one of the beach tide pools.

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

Dad and I desperately wanted to capture the shark and help remove that hook and send him back out to sea….but of course mom was worried one of us would get an arm or leg bit off! So needless to say we were left hoping that the tide would come in that night and take him back out to see for more shark adventures!

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

And then it was back to more running on the beach…baywatch style! Of course the daredevil in me ran a little bit close to the water, just enough to make mom worry that the shark was gonna get me!

(P.S. Don’t worry, that shark was safely in another tide pool and I was in no real danger, but it’s fun to pretend!)

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

After all that running I was pretty pooped! But when mom and dad said it was time to pack up and head back home, I was a little sad.

Happy Dog Visits the Beach

Don’t worry though, I made sure to bring a little of that beach smell home with me! Nothing quite like a nose full of sand.

Does your dog love the beach as much as I do? Do you ever let your dog run off leash? (P.S. I’m only allowed off leash when mom and dad are sure I’m in the listening mood, as you know sometimes us dachshunds decide we don’t feel like obeying!)
