The Night’s Watch

The Night's Watch // Ammo the Dachshund

Being a farm dog means your guard dog duties never end.

Even as darkness begins to fall Trooper always takes his watch dog post with pride.

Although the job is always a little more bearable with friends, so I’m always ready to join him for the Night’s Watch.

The Night's Watch // Ammo the Dachshund

“Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.“

Birthday Week: Presents, Presents & More Presents

Posted on by

Since my official Birthday was on Monday (I’m 7 woohoo!) I bet you’re all wondering what exactly I did to celebrate the special day. So I made this fun video to show you just how things went down on the anniversary of my birth…

As you can see other than opening my presents I did a whole lot of napping in the sun around the farm with my buddy Trooper. It wasn’t exciting, it wasn’t adventurous, but it’s exactly what I wanted to do on my Birthday!

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As a dog who loves fashion I’ve learned that there is one thing that will make or break my look…and that’s accessories! Today you are in luck, because I can’t wait to share with you some of my newest accessories from my friends at Wares for Bears.

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I received some awesome handmade bandanas from Wares for Bears recently, and they totally made us feel the part of farm dogs.

I mean just look at all that fabulous fringe!

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Wares for Bears bandanas are all made to fit your own dog’s unique neck size with a snap closure. No need to tie them around your dog’s neck like a traditional bandana.

Wares for Bears also donates 10% of their sales to the Seattle Humane Society, a local animal rescue organization that helps to feed, shelter, care, and re-home dogs in need. Now that’s pretty cool!

Wares for Bears Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

They come in sizes for big and small dogs, and in many various patterns and styles. Trooper and I picked out a few that had that fun farm feel to them.

The really cool part is that they are reversible too. So for the price of one bandana, you can get not one, but two looks…

Superhero Adventures on the Farm

Posted on by

Way back in the fall of last year my buddy Trooper and I had some very special visitors to the farm. Special enough that we had to break out our super hero gear!

Adventures with Max and Duke from Sleepypod // Super Heroes // Ammo the Dachshund

Because if you’re going to meet new friends, then you might as well make sure you look too cool for school! (and also a little intimidating).

Adventures with Max and Duke from Sleepypod // Super Heroes // Ammo the Dachshund

When our special farm guests showed up I’m pretty sure they were quite impressed with mine and Trooper’s super-ness. Our new friends, Max & Duke, turned out to be pretty cool too, because they are the the super brave crash test dummies from Sleepypod!

Adventures with Max and Duke from Sleepypod // Super Heroes // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I spent the day showing Max & Duke just what it’s like to be heroes on the farm. You can read all about our adventures with them on the Sleepypod Blog.

And spoiler alert….there may have been some groundhog holes involved (what’s a trip to the farm without a tour of my holes?)…..

…and perhaps a little pony drool too. (Sorry Duke!).

But you’ll have to find out exactly what went down by heading over to Sleepypod. And make sure you follow them on Facebook to see where Max & Duke are headed next…..perhaps it will even be a town near you! Ammo the Dachshund

 

Winter on the Farm

Posted on by

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Living in Eastern Pennsylvania, my buddy Trooper and I get our fair share of snowy weather during the winter months. But if you think that every time the sky lets out a little precipitation we hide inside the barn with our ponies, then you would be mistaken my friend!

Instead we run around the farm like crazy dogs trying to have as much fun in the white stuff before our moms call us back inside.

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

My pal Trooper goes a bit wild in the snow, trying to catch EVERY SINGLE SNOWFLAKE….

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

…and collecting EVERY SINGLE STICK before they get buried in the white stuff forever!

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes I like to just watch him make a fool of himself. It’s quite entertaining.

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Then things just start to get really silly.

Oh that Trooper.

Trooper’s silliness eventually rubs off on all my ponies too.

They seem to like to get their crazies out in the snow as well, running around and leaping into the air.

They even enjoy rolling around in the snow just like Trooper!

I must be missing something here, because I don’t know about you, but cold snow inside my jacket doesn’t sound that appealing to me!

Eventually my toes begin to get a little chilly, and it’s time to head back inside where it’s warm.

Don’t worry though, once we thaw out a bit we’ll be back out for more fun! Ammo the Dachshund

What is your dog’s favorite thing to do in the snow? Do they get all crazy about the white stuff like Trooper and my ponies?

Want to see more photos of my ponies playing in the snow? Be sure to visit their blog!

P.S. If your wondering where the jackets came from that Trooper and I are wearing… Trooper’s came from a thrift store and was likely handmade, and mine I won in a contest from the lovely pet product company, Hurtta. Underneath my outer coat I’m wearing a fleece from Ruffwear.

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs

Posted on by

There is one rule I always live by. It’s a rule that keeps me safe, makes me feel brave, and drives my best friend Trooper CRAZY!

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

And that rule is…. ALWAYS CHOOSE YOUR HIDING PLACE BEFORE YOU PLAY WITH THE BIG DOGS!

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

See those big dogs sometimes don’t understand how big they actually are. And they also don’t always realize how small you actually are. So when you have a PLAN B incase things get a little too rough, life is just a little bit easier.

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper is never thrilled when I decide to take a trip into my hiding places, but even as much as I love playing with him – sometimes he doesn’t know his own size either.

When Big Dogs Play with Small Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

I mean just check out this photo of him accidentally kicking me the other day when we were playing on the farm.

I love you buddy, but sometimes you’re a big oaf.

Better safe than sorry when you play with the big dogs! Ammo the Dachshund
