Dapper Dog Goes to Wedding Shower

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by Le Petite Canine. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets will love.

While admittedly it seems like so very long ago that I went on my Thanksgiving vacation to Charleston, South Carolina, I just couldn’t let anymore time past before I shared some of my amazingly fun adventures with you.

Engagement Party in Charleston

See not only was I headed to South Carolina for vacation and fun with my family, but I also was invited to my very first wedding shower!

See this summer, my Aunt Laurel & Uncle Don are tying the knot! (and I’m secretly hoping I’m invited to that too! *hint*hint)

Engagement Party in Charleston

Of course long before I even arrived in Charleston I was already planning my wedding shower outfit, because if memory served me correctly….Charleston is home to the southern gentlemen!

Engagement Party in Charleston

Thanks to my friends over at Le Petite Canine I had the perfect collar and bowtie to wear to such an occasion. The Jaq Collar is just what I needed to get spiffy. Now if this doesn’t say southern gentlemen than I don’t know what does!?

Engagement Party in Charleston

With my Wedding Shower outfit on point I was totally ready to welcome everyone to the festivities.

Engagement Party in Charleston

When all the guests arrived we had a blast playing games, opening presents, and stuffing our faces with food.

Engagement Party in Charleston

Well, ok I guess “most” of us did. Apparently us southern gentlemen have to beg for leftovers. I mean seriously, what gives?

Engagement Party in Charleston

I was beginning to wonder if anyone even noticed I was at the party at all!

Engagement Party in Charleston

I shouldn’t have worried though, my stunning good looks never fail, because Aunt Laurel said I was her favorite fur-nephew at the party! (never mind that I’m her ONLY fur-nephew!) Aww, shucks!

Engagement Party in Charleston

By the end of the day I was totally exhausted. Being a southern gentlemen is hard work, but nothing a little cat nap can’t fix!

You can make sure your dog looks extra dapper for their next big party by stopping by Le Petite Canine and using code AMMO20 for 20% off your order!

P.S. Stay tuned, because the rest of my South Carolina adventures will be coming at you soon!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Happy Birthday Week to me!

A Dog’s First Day of School

Rumor has it the first day of school is just around the corner.

Ammo the Dachshund gets ready for the First Day of School

Since I’ve never been to school (well technically I did visit a couple of elementary schools, one time my pony came too!), I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

Ammo the Dachshund gets ready for the First Day of School

So I put on my bestest school outfit and my reading glasses. Packed my lunch and filled my backpack with all my important school supplies (like cookies and toys).

Ammo the Dachshund gets ready for the First Day of School

Since I’ve never ridden the school bus before (aside from that time I went to the goat races, oh yea and the Fair Hill International Event), I decided to park myself outside my house and wait for it to come pick me up for my very first day.

Ammo the Dachshund gets ready for the First Day of School

All that waiting for the school bus was starting to make me hungry, and my lunch was starting to look pretty darn good.

And you know what, waiting for the school bus isn’t all that interesting. In fact, it’s kinda boring.

After I waited for about an hour, mom reminded me that school didn’t actually start until NEXT WEEK, and I still had an entire weekend of SUMMER BREAK!

Officially Summer // Ammo the Dachshund

Thank goodness!!! Because Summer was starting to sound a lot more fun than going to school anyway.

And it’s a good thing school wasn’t starting yet anyway, because I wouldn’t have had any lunch left!

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.

dapper dachshund ammo

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?

Well, I guess when you look this cute you can be! *wink* Happy #tbt!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Friday Fetch: Dog Bowties & Purses

I’ve been a big fan of Silly Buddy Bowties for a long time now. In fact the first bowtie I ever owned came from Silly Buddy. So when I recently saw that they partnered with Jenny N. Design to make a line of matching purses I knew my mom would be lusting after one for Dog Mom’s Day.
