Chasing Squirrels

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!

Napping Ammo the Dachshund Puppy

7 years ago I was meeting my family for the first time, and the best part is that it was all caught on camera! The quality may not be great, but I’m so glad my mom and dad were able to capture these special memories.

So here’s a fun little video with a look back on some of the very first days with my family (including some never-before-seen footage!).

My mom and dad had a blast last night looking through old footage of me as a puppy. Their only regret is there isn’t more!

Do you have adorable puppy videos of your dog? Post them on my Facebook Page because my mom says she’d love to spend her ENTIRE day looking at cute puppies!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

When Dogs Go Crazy Over Leaves

Ok well technically there is only one dog going crazy over leaves, and it’s me!

Something about those crunchy leaves just gives me the case of the zoomies!

Doesn’t this just make you want to run outside and play in a pile of leaves? Does your dog get the zoomies in the fall too? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Selective Listening Skills

If you’re owned by a dachshund then you know exactly what the term “selective listening” is. And incase you’re unfamiliar, here’s a fun video of my selective listening skills in action…

What can I say, if you want me to do something it better be worth my while!

Throwback Thursday: Diva Behind the Lens

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Throwback Thursday post, so today I thought I’d share a little peek behind the lens from way back in 2012.

While it’s very true, I know how to take a dashing photo, I also sometimes like to be a little demanding behind the lens.

As in “give me more cookies now”. Supermodels are allowed to be demanding though right?

Epic Wrestling Match

My best bud Trooper and I know a thing or two about wrestling. After all we have been doing it since we were just wee pups.

Ammo & Trooper Wrestle with their new Outward Hound Toy

So when we get a new toy, like this Invincibles Snake toy our friends at Outward Hound recently sent us, we tend to go a little nuts with the wrestling!

Dogs & Cats Play // Cat Play Mat & Bully Sticks from Chewy.com

My pals over at Chewy.com recently sent me some fun new products to test out. The KONG Active Cat Play Mat and these Free Ranger no stink Bully Stix!

Dogs & Cats Play // Cat Play Mat & Bully Sticks from Chewy.com

The Bully Stixs were AWESOME, but honestly, I couldn’t see what the big fuss was about the Play Mat was.

But then mom pulled out a bottle of this Kitty Kush Catnip* that we picked up at BlogPaws and sprinkled a little bit on the activity mat.

Out of nowhere my pal Spider the Kitty showed up and was all about the Kong Play Mat!

It didn’t take Spider long to kick me off the mat as she rolled, crinkled (it has this fun crinkle sound just like a plastic water bottle), and scratched around on it.

Spider was looking like she was having so much fun with the play mat that Trooper and I were a bit concerned we were missing out on something really fun.

Dogs & Cats Play // Cat Play Mat & Bully Sticks from Chewy.com

That’s ok though, because Spider may have had her play mat, but Trooper and I had Bully Stixs! And with these awesome benefits:

  • Grain-free chews
  • Low odor for indoor chewing
  • Health and safe alternative to rawhide
  • Naturally supports dental health
  • Free range, grass fed beef

Dog Agility on the Farm

It’s been a while since I shared much about my ongoing agility training. The fact is, I actually haven’t been to any training classes since last year, mostly I blame it on my mom because her schedule got too hectic to take me.

Ammo the Dachshund // Agility // Teeter Totter

But even though I may not be taking regular classes, that doesn’t mean that I’m not doing a little training on the side, because….

Real Dogs Have Muscles! via Ammo the Dachshund

Agility is a great way to keep me muscled and fit, plus it’s fun too! Early this Spring my mom decided to move all my agility equipment out to the farm so that we’d have more room to practice. And you know what, I completely forgot to share with you this fun little video of me running the agility course in the horse arena giant sandbox.

Obviously I was a bit rusty, but not too bad! I’ll just have to keep up with even more practicing.
