What to Do on the 4th of July

Happy 4th of July Furiends!

4th of July Holiday. What everyone will be doing!

Don’t lie, we all know this is exactly what you’re doing today! Nothing wrong with that (I’m doing it too….although maybe not the beach part, but I sure wish I was). But I never forget to celebrate the Independence of the good old US of A too!

Thank You Veterans

Today on Veterans Day I wanted to take the time to thank all of those who have and continue to be in service to our country. They are the true heroes.

And to all those veteran dogs out there, thank you for your service as well!

I sleep a little sounder at night thinking of all the fine men, women, and dogs out there who have protected us over the years.

Remember the Soldiers

Today is Memorial Day and I wanted to stop in and say thank you to all the soldiers out there. It’s important to remember those have fallen to protect our country and those who continue to protect us. So thanks to all who serve, including those of the 4-legged variety!

4th of July Fun

Fourth of July with Ammo the Dachshund

Oh glorious Fourth of July – a celebration of my country that also brings cookouts, trips to the park, and a romp in the brandywine river, what’s not to love?

Fourth of July with Ammo the Dachshund

I dressed in some festive Fourth of July colors and headed down to a local park for the yearly Downingtown Good Neighbor Day Celebration.

After meeting and greeting with all my “neighbors”, I was ready for something sweet.

Dad picked us up from soda from the Freaky Dog Soda shop (although all I got was water to wet my whistle) and then we headed to the Brandywine to get our feet wet.

Ah, nothing like a refreshing dip in the river to cool you off on a hot day! How did you celebrate this 4th of July? Ammo the Dachshund

On this Memorial Day I am remembering the fallen soldiers who have fought for my country. Thanks to those who have given their lives to protect us, and not to forget the many four-legged soldiers as well.

Thank you for keeping us safe.

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.

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

There are still so many things I have yet to do and see, and a World that is just begging to be sniffed by me!

Birthday Week: DIY Pet Birthday Bandana

Birthdays call for celebration, and what better way to celebrate than a spiffy new bandana to let everyone know it’s your Birthday!

Birthday Week // DIY Pet Birthday Bandana // Ammo the Dachshund

And because I want everyone to celebrate with me, here’s a tutorial I created to help you make your own pet a celebratory bandana.

Step 1: Using a ruler and cutting utensil, cut a bandana sized piece of fabric out of your material. We used a bandana I already had as a template, but you can also measure your pet’s neck and add about 4″ to be able to tie it. You might also opt to sew the edges of your bandana to prevent fraying before moving on to step 2.

Step 2: You will need your HOORAY! stamp for this part (my mom carved mine, find out how to carve a stamp here or find out how to purchase one here). Use your sponge brush to apply screen printing ink or acrylic paint mixed with Textile Medium to the stamp.

Step 3: Stamp your fabric in several places, re-applying paint after each one. Then allow to dry.

Adding another color can add to the overall effect.

And when you are all finished you will have a spiffy new bandana that’s perfect for celebrating my Birthday with me.
