Last year the seemingly long anticipation for Santa to come was nearly unbearable for me.
Not to mention waiting for the thrill of seeing a box sitting under the Christmas tree that was just for me. So this year I decided to have a little fun while I count the days until Santa comes.
Starting tomorrow and continuing everyday up until Christmas it’s “Ammo’s 12 Days of Christmas”. So make sure you check back everyday – because I’m so excited I can hardly wait!
On Saturday was the Downingtown Christmas Parade that comes right down the street in front of my shop. As per our yearly tradition, me and Trooper staked out the best spot in front of the shop to watch the parade go by.
There were marching bands galore and lots of amazing floats this year.
And despite the cold temperatures the streets were packed with people excited to watch the parade go by.
This guy on top of an old fire engine even waved at me! He must read my blog.
The parade was so much fun, but my real duties of the day were inside the shop – where I handed out hot cider and cookies to all the chilly parade goers.
I might have had to sample the goods too, you know, to make sure they were tasty enough for my guests.
So what about you, what kind of things are you doing to get into the Holiday Spirit? There’s only 14 more days until Santa comes to visit! Time to get your Holiday Cheer on! Yipeee!

Over the weekend I got to pick out my Christmas tree with my family. We decided to go back to the Tri-color Christmas Tree Farm just like last year so that we could cut down our own tree. (you know, the do-it-yourself method).
It’s very important to pick a special tree, after all you want it to look enticing for Santa to leave a whole bunch of presents under on Christmas Eve.
I narrowed my search down to a few promising trees, but ultimately decided on this glorious fella….
Santa would be proud! But, if you are wondering where the picture is of me sawing down my tree pick this year, sadly I must disappoint. See, after I chose my tree I got a bit sidetracked….
…really I was just checking to see if the groundhogs needed any help cutting down their Christmas tree.
I did eventually emerge from my underground adventure to help dad carry the tree to the car.
And I happily shared the back seat with my pretty little Christmas tree all the way home.
Here’s a happy little video of Holiday Tree Hunting Adventure:
I can’t wait to get all of my ornaments on it and decorate it super pretty for Santa! Make sure you check back tomorrow so I can tell you all about my visit to see Santa!
Don’t worry, I’m not packing my bags and moving north to become an Eskimo.
Nope, I’m just modeling my new jackets that mom got me from Voyagers K9. You might remember that I posted about them a few weeks ago (which you can read here).
Well my mom thought I could use a little wardrobe update this winter so she contacted them and ordered me two custom made coats to fit me exactly.
Since I’m too big to fit into their mini dachshund coat I had to send in custom measurements. So after Voyagers K9 got all my measurements, mom ordered me a winter coat and tummy warmer in yellow and she even had them put in an opening for my harness on the winter coat.
Last night I got to put my coats to the test out on the farm and since I figured some of my canine friends might be in the need for a winter coat this year too I thought I’d share a little review for you!
Pros:
Cons:
UPDATE – apparently there was a slight mix-up and my coat actually didn’t come with a harness hole, what I actually thought was a harness hole was a hole for a collar. So I think with a harness hole put in it will be at a better position to be used with my custom made harness. I’ll update everyone as soon as I get to test it out! Yipee!
Overall I think my new coats are the perfect addition to my winter wardrobe. We’ll see how long they can hold up to the rigors of farm life!
P.S. Don’t forget Voyagers K9 can make custom coats to fit any size dog, even mixed breeds!
Disclosure – I was not paid or compensated to write this post for Voyagers K9, I simply thought their coats looked warm and snuggly!
When you’re a Dachshund it can be really hard to find coats and products to fit your very unique body type. Lucky for me I’ve been a customer of Noodle and Friends since I was a wee pup! Noodle’s family outfits the Dachshund community with stylish accessories that even a farm dog like me can rough and tumble around in.
So I was uber excited when Noodle announced her new fall and winter line!
The Cavendish Plaid Coat screams winter-time warmth. And I don’t know about you, but it’s Holiday-esque plaid colors make me want some hot coco.
The Executive Coat looks like a must have for any working dog! I’m thinking I need once of these to wear to the office.
The Tartan Plaid Never-Choke II Harness looks like a real doggy park head turner!
