Giving Back and Blanket ID Tags

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

Super Heroes do more than just look great in capes, they also help their community! I am proud to be a supporter of animal rescues and helping shelter animals in need.

A few months ago I created a new page on my blog all about giving back. You can check it out HERE.

Giving Back // Lending a Helping Paw // Ammo the Dachshund

I love to do everything I can to help animals in need, so when an opportunity popped up to help a rescue of my choice, I jumped at the chance.

Blanket ID (makers of those fun id tags that keep your pets safe) recently launched a contest looking for cute sayings for their new id tags in their “Significant Others” collection. The winning saying will make it onto a Blanket ID tag in which $3 from every sale will go to the winner’s favorite animal rescue.

Giving Back // Lending a Helping Paw - Blanket ID // Ammo the Dachshund

My tag submission, “My Hero”, recently made it to the top 10 finalists and is now in the running to be chosen!

Now I need your help to get my tag to the top!

You can vote for my tag (#4, My Hero) by just leaving a comment with the number 4 on the Blanket ID blog, on their Facebook page or emailing it to cate@blanketID.com, share it if you like as much as you can and help me and my chosen rescue. Voting ends Today, Monday 4th March at midnight. Click HERE to VOTE.

Regardless of whether or not my design wins (although it would be fun to win), animals in need will get a helping paw! And that’s the most important part! Ammo the Dachshund

The Harlem Shake with Ammo the Dachshund

The latest meme floating around right now is The Harlem Shake, a song that has sparked a series of dance videos to an instrumental song produced by the artist Baauer. And since I’m never one to miss out on a meme, I decided to do my own rendition.

I bet you are mad impressed with my dance skills right!? I’ve been practicing if you can’t tell.

Anyone else do their own rendition of the Harlem Shake? Let’s see it! Post your favorite ones in the comment section! Ammo the Dachshund

Ammo’s Oscar Recap

The stars, the lights, the cameras, and the red carpet – The Oscars was on last night – and of course I was in attendance. Ok well sort of (from my couch at least), but that’s the very best seat in the house anyway.

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

Just because I didn’t get to walk the actual red carpet doesn’t mean I didn’t dress the part.

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

I wore the always fashionable Silly Buddy Bowtie – and even had a chance to get a little primping done.

I got my hair did!

Admittedly my hair dresser isn’t quite up on the most fashionable trends, but I rocked that mullet anyway.

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

The oscars provided me with a full night of entertainment as I got down with all the singing & dancing.

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s almost as if I was actually there!

I also had my eyes peeled all night for one of my celebrity pals, Crusoe (you may remember that we both dressed up as Wile E. Coyote this past year for Halloween).

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

Crusoe apparently won an Oscar (meyer-weiner) for Best Celebrity Dog (hello, where was my nomination?) – but since the Academy Awards went on well past my bed time I just couldn’t stay awake to see his acceptance speech.

I’m sure he just rambled off a list of thank yous that included his squeaky toys and celebrity stylists – so I gather I probably didn’t miss much. *wink*

Even though I didn’t catch an actual glimpse of Crusoe on the red carpet, I have my own speculations as to why Kristen Stewart walked the carpet with crutches (run-in with a shorter than average celebrity??? hummmm Crusoe?). We may never know for sure!

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund - Kristen Stewart on Crutches

Next year I hope to be out on the red carpet myself – and I’ve already started planning my outfit! I’m thinking a neon yellow tux would really make me jump out in the crowd!

So what about you, what was your favorite part of the oscars this year?

An Acme Halloween

After much anticipation I’m now ready to reveal my epic Halloween Costume! Many of you took guesses on my facebook page as to what I would be wearing this year – and some of you even guessed right!

Ammo the Dachshund // Halloween // Wile E. Coyote Costume

Ammo the Dachshund // Halloween // Wile E. Coyote Costume

This year I dressed as the famous Wile E. Coyote from the popular Looney Toons Cartoon!

Ammo the Dachshund // Halloween // Wile E. Coyote Costume

I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to chase that speedy Roadrunner, not to mention Wile E. Coyote had some pretty cool accessories via the Acme Catalog. The dude knew how to shop!

Mom helped me make a coyote hood for my costume out of fabric, wire, velcro, and hot glue – and yes, I am aware that it makes me look irresistibly cute! You’re welcome.

My Acme rocket may have not been from the official “Acme Catalog”, but mom did her best to build it’s likeness out of an old soda bottle, some cereal boxes, paint, elastic & rope.

So with my outfit complete I was ready to start hunting that roadrunner!

I was sooo close, but that darn Acme Rocket malfunctioned and he got away.

Drat!

I stick my tongue out at the pesky roadrunner.

Plan B involves ropes, I’ll let you know how that pans out.

Birthday Week: Ammo turns Four!

Today is my Birthday! Hooray!

Ammo the Dachshund // Birthday Week // Ammo turns Four

In the past four years I have been on so many adventures! From riding in airplanes, paddleboarding, performing with the Painting Ponies, painting pictures, and just lounging around the house – each day has been an amazing ride.

Ammo the Dachshund // Birthday Week // Ammo turns Four

I’m looking forward to many more years of adventures – and I can’t wait to share them with all of you!
