Birthday Week Giveaway – Winner Announced!

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Ammo

We had lots of entries for my Birthday Week Giveaway, in which one lucky reader will win my 2013 Calendar and a set of Greeting cards from my Flying Hero Etsy Shop.

I had so much fun reading everyone’s wishes, which included wishing for homes for all the doxies of the world, wishes for their dog to learn some tricks, and lots of dog treat wishes! But sadly there can be only one winner, and today’s winner is comment #28 Rebecca, who wishes every doxie had a home, and every home a doxie! (good wish!)

Thanks to everyone who entered my giveaway, and since I hate to see anyone go home empty handed, you can use the coupon code FREESHIP in my etsy shop, Flying Hero, to receive free shipping anywhere in the US on any order! Yay for free!

I hope you have a wonderful Friday!

We Have a Weinner!

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Ammo

My giveaway for one of my very own pieces of scratch art has come to an end! I made this piece with my very own paws! This particular piece is called White Dachshund No. 11 and I created it by scratching onto a specially prepared surface that my mom helped me make. It’s on a mauve acid free matboard background – matted in blue to fit an 11×14 frame. Trust me, this thing is a beauty in person! It comes signed by me and includes a certificate of authenticity – so you know it’s not a fake!

The winner was drawn at random, using random.org. Congrats to Jane who says “Oscar’s favorite summer spot is on his snuggle pad in the golf cart. He likes to ride out in the pasture for potty breaks. That way he doesn’t over exert himself in the heat.” Sounds like Oscar’s a farm dog just like me! Be sure to look for an e-mail from me with details on how to claim your prize.

And since not everyone can be a weinner, I thought I’d still give everyone a little gift. If you use the coupon code AMMOPAL during checkout in my online shop you will get 10% off your entire order! And don’t forget with every piece of artwork me and the ponies sell we donate money to animal rescues!

Happy Shopping!

The WEEEINER! Doggie Prize Pack

Posted on November 5, 2010 by Ammo

So….. maybe it’s his smiling face, or maybe I’ve just got more important things to do, whatever the case may be….I just can’t destroy my little squeaky toy.

So seeing as how it’s been 3 WEEKS since I announced my Doggie Prize Pack contest – I figured I shouldn’t delay any longer in choosing a winner (even if I haven’t eaten my little smiley face).

I don’t think anyone saw it coming that I’d keep him around this long – my mom is still shocked he’s alive. So instead of choosing a winner from the correct guesses (since there weren’t any), I decided to randomly choose the winner using random.org

Congrats to Jelly the Dachshund!!

Look for an e-mail from me, and I’ll get your Doggie Prize Pack sent over!

Thanks to all my guessers! Even if you didn’t win, don’t worry I have a special DISCOUNT for you in my ONLINE SHOP! Purchase anything (including any of the pony’s art) between now and Thanksgiving (November 25, 2010) and get a free set of two Christmas cards featuring me, Ammo the Dachshund! Your friends will be so jealous! Just write the code XMASAMMO in the notes to seller section at checkout.

Super Dog vs. Super Pony – who won?

Posted on November 2, 2010 by Ammo

As my facebook fans know, I’m back from my amazing trip to the Equine Extravaganza to compete in the talent contest with my pony pal, Chincoteague Minnow.

And guess what!!?? I came back as the winner! Well ok, Minnow & I are the winners!

Mom was kinda nervous for the performance, but Minnow & I knew exactly what we were doing. Just check it out for yourself:

We were up against some stiff competition….

But I think it was my adorableness that won the judges over. I also threw in a few extra moves of my own to really wow them too…..Like digging a REALLY REALLY big hole. I mean did you hear all the laughs I got? I have to admit I’m kinda bitter that the crowd clapped the loudest for Minnow & he won the super hero trophy…..I guess I can give him that one though, since it WAS a HORSE EXPO.

Not only did I win glory in the contest, but I also won the opportunity to have a private training session with Movie Star Animal Trainer, Doug Sloan. I can see myself now in a kibble commercial, or maybe the next marvel super hero movie! I mean after all the 2008 talent contest winner, Amazing Grace, became a movie star after she won! So hey, it could happen to me right?

But, even if I don’t become a super star, my mom said she’ll always be proud of me, and I don’t need a fancy movie role to be special.

And you know, my mom’s right. Because I perform to make people smile and laugh, and because it’s fun! (not to mention the chicken and cheese mom gives me is to die for!)

So maybe someday you will see me on the big screen, but if not, I’ll be just as happy to continue to make my fans smile.

P.S. I have lots more photos to share from my adventuresome weekend….so check back tomorrow….you can also head over to the Trick Ponies Blog to see more videos from my travels.

Giveaway – The Weeeiner!

Posted on September 3, 2010 by Ammo

I know you all are anxiously awaiting to see who will be the weeeiner of my scratch art giveaway. I wish I could give one to each and every one of you……but I think I’d get blisters on my paws!

But don’t worry, for those of you that didn’t win….I have a consolation prize! Between now and October 1, 2010, if you purchase anything from my online shop (including any of the Ponies’ Paintings) you will receive a FREE Trick Pony DVD, which not only features the famous Trick Ponies of Chincoteague, but also me, Ammo the Dachshund – stuntdog extraordinaire. All you have to do is mention the code AMMORULES at checkout.

And now for your Weeeiner! Congratulations to Christine! Who’s favorite piece of artwork her 12 year old twins bought for her of her Doxie Roxy wearing a Santa hat. The winner was chosen randomly using random.org

Look for an e-mail from me in your inbox to claim your prize!
