Memories

Posted on by

Lately I’ve been very very busy. Not the kind of busy where you have a mile long to-do list, but the kind of busy that just makes you want to drop everything and soak it all in. I’ve been very busy making memories with my family!

From my little sister’s first crawl (which not to brag, but she didn’t crawl towards mom and dad, no instead she crawled towards me!!), and sledding with my cousins and ponies – these are the memories that I’m going to treasure forever.

Family Memories

Yup, this one is totally for the scrapbook!

I hope you’ve been busy making memories too. Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

No Big Woof

No Big Woof

Just yesterday mom snapped this photo of me while Dad was working on a project at the shop. Some may be surprised that I was able to nap through a power drill right by my bed, but there is a really good reason as to why this sort of thing doesn’t bother me. See, my mom and dad are artists and DIYers, which means that power tools are pretty much NO BIG WOOF to me anymore.

I made it through an entire Kitchen remodel in 2015.

I helped with excavation on the farm.

Ammo the Dachshund // Post and Beam House Construction

I helped Trooper with his post and beam house in 2012.

Ammo the Dachshund // On the Job // Construction

I helped lay radiant flooring.

Ammo the Dachshund // Puppy // Farmwork

And on my VERY first day with my new family I helped build fencing.

So yup, power tools are NO BIG WOOF.

Now vacuum cleaners ….that’s a whole other story. Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Sharing is Caring

Sharing is Caring

So every time I turn around lately it seems my sister is eating. For someone so tiny she eats so very frequently. Lucky!

Sharing is Caring

I also started to take note that said eating was very very messy.

Sharing is Caring

Now occasionally this messiness would end up on the floor (score!), but most of the time mom whisked it away before I could get so much as a lick. And more often than not it was the icky stuff anyway (you know, the vegetables).

Sharing is Caring

As the weeks passed I decided to take matters into my own paws.

Sharing is Caring

But I guess they call them high chairs for a reason! And I wasn’t really getting that much closer to my end goal.

Sharing is Caring

But then one day, as luck would have it, I noticed a tiny little hand peeking down from the high chair.

Sharing is Caring

My sister was sharing. IT. WAS. GLORIOUS.

Baby P, I love you more everyday. xoxo, your best pal and big brother Ammo. Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by GoPure. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets will love.

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Water – it’s absolutely necessary for all of us to survive, but have you thought about how safe and clean your own pet’s water is?

My mom has always provided me with fresh water, and even when the public water at work seemed a little cloudy my mom didn’t hesitate to lug in a jug of clean water from home just so I could have the best!

But lugging in a jug of water weekly is a hassle, so I was so excited to tell my mom about a new way to keep my water purified so we could ditch the jug!

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Meet the GoPure Water Purifier for pets!

GoPure Pod keeps your dog or cat healthy by providing them plenty of fresh, clean water. Your tap water may contain lead, fluoride or other chemicals proven to be dangerous for pets. GoPure Pet will remove these impurities and other contaminants.

And the truth is, most pet’s water bowls aren’t cleaned often enough, creating the perfect environment for bacteria growth. But now there is a simple way to ensure your pet’s drinking water is safe.

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

The GoPure Pod couldn’t be simpler to use (I mean I could totally do it if I had opposable thumbs!), and it can be used with any water bowl for up to 6 months with no need to change a filter.

With high-strength suction cups it attaches to the bottom of your pet’s bowl (and trust me, your dog or cat definitely won’t be able to get this thing off themselves).

Then simply fill with water and the pod begins it’s work.

Water continuously flows through openings in the exterior shell (the blue part) and is then purified through the GoPure Pod that is safely attached to the base of your dog’s bowl.

For the past few weeks now I’ve been drinking the tap water at work with the GoPure Pod. Mom has noticed that water looks much clearer than it ever has, and I’m relieved to know that the water I’m consuming is safe.

Safe Drinking Water for Pets with GoPure Pod + A Giveaway

Did you know pet dishes are one of the main spots for germs to grow in the home? Pets have bacterial microbes in their mouths that be can be transferred to their water bowls, which in turn provides an environment for bacteria to grow.

Um yea, that’s pretty gross. Well now I can happily say….not in my water bowl…thanks to GoPure Pod!

You can help ensure your pet’s water is safe and clean by visiting GoPure Pod.

And now for the best part….

Finally! Yesterday I got to have a true Snow Day! Which means I didn’t have to go to work, and I got to spend the day playing with my family in the snow.

Winter Storm Stella

This was Baby P’s first big snow, and I was so excited to show her exactly what to do on a snow day.

10 Reasons Why Dachshunds Rule

Posted on by

It’s come to my attention that some of you may not know why us Dachshunds are so super cool. So incase you were unaware, I’ve made this handy list as to why Dachshund Rule The World.

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 11 with Ammo the Dachshund

  1. You don’t ever have to worry about freezing to death if you live with a Dachshund

Personal heating pad. Check. If you’re chilly, just grab a Dachshund, because we can put out some serious heat!

Ammo the Dachshund // Evening Hunting on the Farm

2. If rodents ever took over the World, your Dachshund would save you.

Honestly, we don’t even need an excuse like total World domination to justify a good old fashioned hunt down.

3. Your Dachshund will teach you to have the patience of a saint.

Us Dachshunds have our own agenda, and if we want to do something (or don’t want to do something), you better believe we won’t be listening to your commands.

4. You won’t need to waste your money on a shovel when you have a Dachshund.

Born to dig, that’s our motto. Just think of all the money you saved by not buying all those shovels!

5. Your floors, and tables, and pretty much any surface we can reach will be spotless.

Smell food. Will eat…by any means necessary. Enough said.

6. You’ll have a reason to smile every day when you share your home with a Dachshund.

We’re goofy, and silly, and never run out of ways to do something just totally ridiculous that will make you smile.

7. Our unique body shape inspires all kinds of art.

Seriously, just try shopping at Target without finding something with a Dachshund on it. We’re that cool.

8. We have no idea that we’re small.

If you always wanted a big dog, look no further. We Dachshunds believe we’re the biggest dogs of them all, and despite our size, we have no problem striking fear into the hearts of all the big dogs out there.

9. We have a distinct smell all our own.

Ah, the aroma of a Dachshund. It will grow on you.

Holiday Tidings

10. We love our families something fierce.

Nothing can compare to the love that a Dachshund has for his family. And that my friends is why Dachshunds Rule!

The Princess’ Castle

Posted on by

It’s come to my attention that I never properly shared my new little sidekick’s bedroom. After all, it took mom and I a really long time to get it just right.

The Princess' Castle

So come on in, and welcome to the Princess’ Castle!

The Princess' Castle

This is the room where my sister’s dog crate resides. I still haven’t figured out why she hasn’t jumped out of it yet!

The Princess' Castle

Although I’m pretty sure it won’t be long before she breaks out of her crate at night, because the artwork above her is totally accurate. I’m also fairly confident in saying that she’s so fierce that her “bark” might even be louder than mine!

The Princess' Castle

Even if she does break out though, I’ll be right here waiting.

The Princess' Castle

Waiting to make sure she doesn’t touch my toys, or my dog bowl, or my favorite pillow on the couch.

The Princess' Castle

Yup, that’s definitely the face of a little sister that’s going to escape her dog crate. I knew it.

The Princess' Castle

Looks like we won’t be getting any sleep again tonight pony.

So what did you think of my little sister’s castle? Do you think she’ll like how I decorated it (as you may notice there are MANY pictures of the one and only me in her bedroom)! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

 

My Spring To-Do List

Posted on by

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.

Gardening with Ammo the Dachshund

#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!

Gardening with Ammo the Dachshund

#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)

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

#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!
