My Spring To-Do List

With Spring just around the corner (it’s in the 70’s today…that’s crazy!) I realized I better get  to work creating my Spring To-Do List. Because there is soooo much to do to be ready for Spring.

Ammo’s Spring To-Do List:

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

#1: Get dirt for mom’s vegetable garden. I never pass up the opportunity to play in a big pile of dirt. Bonus if its from the mushroom farm, because then I know it’s extra stinky.

#2: Help Dad rebuild the ramp to my shed. Which basically means that I get to take some more trips to my favorite hardware store…yippee!

#3: Help mom pick out plants for the vegetable garden. This time I’m hoping she plants corn, because that’s my favorite!

#4: Locate all the new critter holes around my home, so I’ll know just where to dig when the warm weather hits.

#5: Help out with maintenance around the farm. (Also know as digging holes for fence posts)

#6: Widen all the openings to the ground hog holes on the farm (after hibernation I’m sure those ground hogs are gonna be extra fat and extra stuck)

#7: Roll in the stinkiest stuff I can find. Because when Spring hits I want to be able to blend right into my surroundings.

#8: Scratch my back in the grass. It’s just not the same in the winter!

#9: Take a nap outside WITHOUT a coat on!

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

#10: Rub my after-bath fur all over the house. Because after all those dirt related things I’m sure mom is going to make me take a bath!

Ode to My Mailman

Ode to My Mailman

I wonder what it’s like to be a mailman,
To carry all that mail.
I bet I’d look sweet in that uniform,
Even with my furry tail.

I probably wouldn’t want to go outside in bad weather,
So I might not be so great at delivering a letter.
And I’d much rather wait for the mail anyway,
Because my mailman does it so much better!

After all, he always remembers to deliver me a sweet treat! Thanks for all the mail Mr. Mailman! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Does your dog enjoy waiting for the mail?

Pop’n Tags at the Thrift Store

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

Just like my boy Macklemore my mom has been hitting up the local thrift store with only 20 dollars in her pocket in search of some hidden gems.

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

She’s been coming home from the local Goodwill with all kinds of cool finds for my sister. Those dog pjs are super cute I have to admit. Honestly though, I was starting to feel a little left out.

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

I probably shouldn’t have spoke too soon, because before I knew it mom had popped two dog hats out of her bag that she had picked up just for me. Sigh, I knew where this was going….

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

Yup, before I could bark in protest it was a full blown dress-up session!

Pop'n Tags at the Thrift Store

Eh, who am I kidding. I totally love to play dress-up….especially since I look so awesome in this hat!

I might not look as cool in this one, but at least my head will be warm the next time it snows! (And yes, I’m rooting for snow at least once more this winter, because otherwise I won’t get to try out my new sled!)

I’m pretty sure Baby P is chomping at the bit to play Dress-up with me. Soon, very soon, and in the meantime I’m more than happy to practice in my ninety-nine cent hat! And in the words of Macklemore….

Have you ever found something awesome at the Thrift Store for your dog?

 

Heigh-Ho Heigh-Ho

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

Now that I’m the coolest big brother ever, it’s come to my attention that to be EVEN cooler (if that’s even possible), that I need to practice my “nursery rhymes”. My sister likes when I “sing” to her, and she likes it even more when I dig holes. Well, this is perfect, because I have just the song to sing her in preparation of Spring (aka Groundhog season).

These Paws were Made for Digging // Ammo the Dachshund

Heigh-Ho
A “Cooler” Version by Ammo

I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in my hole the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what I really like to do
It ain’t no trick to get groundhogs quick
If you dig dig dig with a paw or a pick
In a hole! In a hole! In a hole! In a hole!
Where a million groundhogs live!
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
I dig up groundhogs by the score
A thousand critters, sometimes more
But I don’t know what I dig ’em for
I dig dig dig a-dig dig
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho

Much better than the original song, right?

And don’t worry, if I ever get tired of digging, I can bring in reinforcements. Happy Digging! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Does your dog like to dig as much as me?

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 6

I can hardly believe that it’s been 1/2 a year since Baby P was born! She’s growing up much too fast!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

While she’s now sitting up and eating real foods, and even attempting to crawl a little….there are some things that haven’t changed one bit…

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

…and that’s her love for her favorite puppy in the whole wide world, me! (She’s not even embarrassed to kiss me in front of the camera!) In fact she loves me so much that everytime she sees me I get greeted with a high pitched excited squeal. That or maybe she thinks my name is Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: vol. 6

We’re both already planning all of our Spring and Summer adventures…especially once she starts walking and I can show her all of my favorite groundhog holes. So much to do, so little time.

Happy 6 months Baby P! I’m so glad I get to be by your side while you grow up! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Bear-y Fun Adventures

Bear-y Fun Adventure

You might remember that not long ago I was anxiously awaiting my sister’s arrival. Even more so because my lovely friend Suzanne had made me and my sister some lovely crochet items.

Well the time has finally come, and my sister can wear them with me!!

Bear-y Fun Adventure

As you can see, Baby P was very excited that we were going to get to play DRESS UP. Something tells me there will be a lot of dress up games in my future.

Bear-y Fun Adventure

That’s ok though, because anything that makes Baby P smile this much is totally worth it!

Bear-y Fun Adventure

So from Cowgirls…

….to Goldilocks ….I’m ready for all of it!

And if there is a “Best Dog of the Year Award”, I’m pretty sure I deserve it. I guess I’ll also accept belly rubs, cookies, and weekend hikes as recognition too. You’re welcome Baby P.

xoxo, Your big brother,Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

What do you think Baby P and I should dress up as next?

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

Ever since Baby P showed up at my house the toy situation has gotten a little confusing. As in, how am I supposed to tell the difference between a baby toy and dog toy? That’s where you come in!

Dog Toy or Baby Toy

Can you help me decipher which one of these fine toys are dog toys and which are baby toys?

I loose sleep over this. Did I chew on Baby P’s favorite stuffed animal or did I bury the correct ball in the back yard? It’s enough to make you crazy!

Once you’ve made your guesses scroll on down to the bottom of the page to see if you got it right…..

If you guessed these toys were dog toys, then you are right!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 5

Time seems to be moving much too quickly, because Baby P is now 5 months old! Can you believe it?

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 5

So much has changed since Little P first arrived home, and now she’s drooling and attempting to eat pretty much anything she can get her hands on. I’m so proud, I taught her well.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 5

She’s really taken a liking to me (what’s not to like, I’m the coolest dog ever), and I’m really starting to enjoy her giggly happy squeals when she sees me. In fact, I even get to claim credit for Baby P’s first TRUE belly laugh!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 5

Don’t grow up too fast Baby P, I still have lots of things about the World to teach you!

You Don’t Need a Tissue When you have a Dog

You Don't Need a Tissue when you have a dog

From day 1 my sister has been infatuated with me. It’s probably my stunning good looks, and my spitfire personality that does it, or perhaps I guess it might be because I look like a giant stuffed animal.

You Don't Need a Tissue when you have a dog

And I’ve loved her from the start too, maybe because she looks like a big stuffed animal sometimes too!

Whatever the case may be, we’re both thick as thieves. So when my sister needs something, I’m going to be there for her. In this case it was a tissue…..and I was more than happy to oblige….

I just hope you repay the favor someday Baby P! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

A Parading We Will Go

Holiday Christmas Parade

A few weekends ago I took Baby P on a very special outing. I took her to her very first Christmas parade!

Holiday Christmas Parade

Holiday Christmas Parade

The real reason I’m always in attendance of my town’s holiday parade is to entertain the customers at our shop. I always do a pretty good job of that (nobody’s better than me at playing dead), and this year Baby P even helped me out by squealing and dancing for all the visitors too (only my camera crew missed catching that, shame on them). It was nice to have a little extra help, entertaining customers is hard work!

Holiday Christmas Parade

But after our duties at the shop (and more than a few diaper changes for Baby P), we hit the streets to watch the parade.

Fire trucks and flashing lights are always a favorite for me and now my sister too, but the music really gets us in the Christmas mood!

I was super excited to see some fellow low riders in the parade! Although I’m pretty sure I totally had them out dressed!

Baby P though, she got to wave to Santa! I admit, I was a bit jealous, but then I remembered that I’ve had 8 years of Santa visiting my house just for me, so I felt a little better about sharing Santa with my sister this year. Overall we had a blast at the Holiday Parade this year, and I can’t wait until next year when my sister will be running around at it with me!

Only 3 more sleeps until I get to see what Santa brings me under the tree! I can’t wait!
