As an avid adventure dog I love anything that has to do with adventures! And seeing as how my previous Adventure Awaits t-shirt created numerous inquiries as to where people could purchase them – I figured my adventurous taste in clothing could help to benefit the dogs in need this holiday season!
I give you the Ammo the Dachshund Adventure Awaits T-shirt. Available as a t-shirt in this fun teal blue color in numerous sizes and will make the perfect gift for your favorite adventurer this holiday season. I’ll also be donating 10% of the profits to the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.
It’s also available in this fun grey hoodie (because even when it’s cold you can still go on adventures).
To reserve you Adventure Awaits T-shirt or Hoodie visit the link below. Hurry though, because they are only available until December 10th – at which point they will be printed and shipped by our friends at Teespring!
And don’t forget, not only will you get a super awesome shirt inspired by me, but you’ll also be helping the Coast to Coast Dachshund rescue as I’ll be donating 10% of the profit to them!

So I packed up my car with all the tools necessary to put on an awesome performance and headed south 2 hours to help support the dachshunds in need!
I brought along a lot of my fun goodies from my shop, which did you know purchases from also help to support the animal rescues as I donate a portion of my sales every year to my favorite animal rescues?
Mom and Dad managed to get everything set up so nicely for me, despite the fact that they were both fighting nasty colds. But hey, the show must go on!
It turned out to be an unusually hot day (for April) with temperatures reaching into the 80’s. So if you caught me lounging around on Sunday – it’s mostly because I wasn’t quite used to the heat!
But when it came time to perform I pulled it together and drew a fantastic crowd to watch me perform!
I performed my skit from last year’s event, with a few added in tricks that I had learned in the past few weeks. Like my beg!
And also rolling my barrel!
The crowd always seems to enjoy the part where my super self jumps through the death defying hoops!
But I’m pretty sure one of my all-time crowd-favorite tricks will always be playing dead. Don’t worry, I always survive this trick!
Here’s a little video of some of the highlights from my performances:
After my first performance of the day I took a short nap in the car (with my fan on) so that I could have the energy to perform again. Sorry to anyone who was looking for me, but a celebrity needs his beauty sleep!
After I was fully rested I was ready to mix and mingle with all the other fabulous dachshunds that attended the event!
I sniffed a whole lotta butts, and enjoyed meeting the HUGE variety of dachshunds that came. From smooth haired to long haired and every color you can imagine!
I even obliged to take the obligatory fan photos!
There was so much to do at the Spring Doxie Fest that I wished I could have tried it all. From wiener dog races, to a sand pit and there was even a flyball demonstration and an agility course.
I had fun watching a talented doxie run the flyball course, and later I got to run through the agility course myself! Check out the instagram video below:
As you can imagine my 2 hour car ride home from the Spring Doxie Fest looked something like this:
I had a blast and was thrilled to help a good cause. It was great meeting some of my fans and I loved being able to show everyone my tricks!
For those of you that attended, what was your favorite part about the Spring Doxie Fest?
As many of you may already know, I’m headed to the Spring Doxie Fest this weekend in Maryland on Sunday. I’ll be making the 2 hour trek south to meet all of my friends!
I will be performing my fun tricks for everyone at 11:15am and 2:15pm, so if you’re attending – you won’t want to miss it!
I’ll also be setting up my booth with lots of fun goodies from prints and cards to magnets, notepads and more!
So if you’re looking for a fun way to spend your Sunday with a bunch of dachshunds – I hope you’ll stop on by. And don’t worry, for those of you that can’t attend I’ll be back next week with a full recap of all my adventures.
This past weekend was packed of lots of fun things. On Sunday mom hit up the National Pet Expo in Harrisburg, Pa. I was a little miffed she didn’t bring me along, but apparently dogs weren’t allowed in the adjoining Horse World Expo – so I had to stay home this time.
Mom said there was lots of fun doggie entertainment including trick performances, flyball demos, agility, doggie dancing, and even dock diving!
The Dock Dogs put on a great show according to mom, and her video had me wishing I was brave enough to dive like that myself.
There was lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes at the National Pet Expo – although I’m not entirely positive that this gal isn’t half sheep as well?
But dogs weren’t the only ones there – this little Nigerian Dwarf Goat totally stole the show in his cute little pj’s.
Before mom headed home from the expo she also checked out the Horse World Expo, where she swung by the Bitless Bridle booth and spotted my pal Boomerang’s photo advertising the versatility of these bridles. (My mom is the one wearing a red shirt in the photos).
After mom got home (and I begged her for the details on the expo), we settled in to watch the Oscars with host Ellen DeGeneres! I of course wore my super hero ensemble in honor of the “heroes” theme!
I especially loved watching the compilation of cartoon super heroes!
But I have to admit some of the scenes were a bit scary – even for a hero!
I made it until about 11pm – but sometimes even super heroes can’t stay up past their bedtime!
I awoke the next morning to another blanket of snow! (that groundhog was right for once predicting 6 more weeks of winter).
My fuzzy pony friends don’t seem to mind the cold at all, but when it is in the single digits I just can’t hang outside in the cold for long!
It was still fun for as long as I lasted though!
So how was your weekend? Did you go on any fun adventures?
You might remember that a few months ago, thanks to all of your wonderful votes, my phrase “My Hero” was selected to be turned into a tag in the Blanket Id Adopt a Tag Collection.
This new collection has been especially designed with breed rescues in mind and is available in the blanket id store! Each tag will directly benefit a Rescue – either each winner’s chosen charity (I chose to support the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue) or you can select your own. You’ll find information about all the chosen winners here.
I was so excited when my new Blanket Id tag arrived in the mail!
Since the idea behind this tag collection is showing you care, I decided that I would gift my new Blanket Id tag to my best friend Trooper – so that he can be protected by the Blanket Id services too!
If you can’t tell, Trooper is very excited to be “My Hero” and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be helping one of our favorite rescues, The Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.
You can pick up your own My Hero Tag HERE and help a rescue group by raising funds.
As most of you know I was invited to paint and perform at the 2013 Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. I love to support animal rescues, so I jumped at the chance to show off my stuff!
So I packed up my car with lots of goodies for my booth, and brought along all of my trick gear for my big performance. (you can always shop online with me HERE).
When it came time to perform I was excited to show everyone what I had been practicing. I love to learn and doing tricks with my mom is one of my favoritiest things in the whole wide world.
I kicked off my big performance by finishing up a painting I had started earlier in the week…..afterall you can’t rush talent!
Then it was off to my phone booth for a quick costume change, of course everyone giggled when my Super Undies went on display for the world to see. I’m still blushing. But Super Ammo had a job to do, and I wasn’t going to let a little embarrassment stop me!
Eventually I had to break out my super helmet for some of the more dangerous tricks. Safety first.
After all that performing I was ready to meet my fans!
By then I was pretty tired, but my day wasn’t over yet, because I had to judge some of the contests like best kisser, best tail wag, best costume, and best trick.
I even got to meet a cool doxie named Harry who had a knack for playing golf! (I chose him as the winner of best trick by the way).
Incase you missed my big performance at the Doxie Fest, below is a quick highlight video I made. And if you want to see some more of my amazing tricks you can check out the SUPER PONY DVD that I made with my favorite trick ponies HERE.
At the end of the day I was so excited that so many of you came out to watch me perform and meet me, and most importantly support a great rescue like the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.
Lately I’ve been busy painting up a storm, readying myself for the Spring Doxie Fest, an event to benefit the dogs that I’ve been asked to attend and perform at.
These magical paws of mine will be painting for a cause on Sunday, April 21st in Bel Air, Maryland for their annual fundraising event.
If you are in the area I hope you’ll stop by and meet me! The event will be held from 11 – 3pm, with lots of fun contests for your dogs, as well as venders and entertainment for all! Find out more HERE.
Here’s a video from back when I first learned to paint:
My artwork and lots of doxie merchandise will be available for purchase at the event. I donate a percentage of all my sales to animal rescue groups.
Last week I wrote about my saying (“My Hero”) that I had submitted to the Blanket ID “Significant Others” Tag Contest, and I asked you (my fans) to help my tag win by voting so that I could choose a lucky animal rescue to donate money from the sale of my tags to.
Well thanks to all of you I placed second! Which means in a few short weeks my tag will be available for purchase from Blanket ID!
As exciting as this is, I’m even more excited to announce that the rescue I have chosen to receive $3 from every sale of my tag is the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue!
Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR) is a National Non-Profit 501(c)(3), all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing needy Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes from coast to coast.
Just look at some of these cuties they have available for adoption:
So if you’d like to be a hero just like me, then you might consider making a purchase of my Blanket ID tag once it is available (I’ll be sure to let you know). And you can also come visit me on April 21st at the Spring Doxie Fest to benefit the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. More details HERE.
Slap on your cape, and grab a helmet, because there are always heroes welcome in my club!
We still have the winter to get through first, but I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring. Especially this year, because it marks the 3rd Annual Spring Doxiefest in Bel Air, Maryland!
This year I will be attending this event on Sunday, April 21, 2013 from 11am – 3pm to be hosted by the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.
I have been invited to paint and perform during the Doxiefest and I’ll also be bringing along some of my cards and dachshund merchandise.
I’ve already begun working on a new performance, which I hope to have ready for this event.
So mark your calendars, prepare your dachshunds, and be ready for a day of doxie fun this Spring! I hope to see you there!
