10 Reasons Why Dachshunds Rule

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!

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.

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 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).

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?

Dachshund Life Struggle Never Ends

You may have caught my posts over the last few months on the saga that is the Dachshund Life Struggle. And if you follow along with me on FacebookTwitter or Instagram, then likely you may have already seen many of the Dachshund Life Struggles.

But guess what, it didn’t stop there, because the struggle of being a Dachshund never ends. So here’s what I’ve been struggling with this past month…

P.S. Don’t forget to share my struggles with all your friends…..we have to spread the word about how hard it is to be a dachshund these days!Ammo the Dachshund

Shedding Ponies

It’s Spring on the farm, which means two things – 1. I don’t have to wear my coats! 2. The ponies are shedding! This may not sound very exciting to you, but when you don’t have to wear a coat – the Spring air puts a little wiggle in your wag. And when you have a little wiggle in your wag you find seemingly boring items (like shedded out pony hair) super fun. Just see for yourself…

Yay!

 

My New Bone

Yes, over the weekend my mom brought me home a brand new bone! I can’t even begin to tell you how long it’s been since I’ve had a bone. I think mom’s starting to feel guilty about leaving me home next week when she takes Minnow to Chincoteague Island for the annual Pony Penning. I’m not going to say the new bone makes up for this, because it doesn’t, but it is a good start.

Of course the first thing I did with my new bone was to try to take it outside for a good old fashioned burying. However, there was a little snag in my plan.

Sigh. I’m thinking things would have gone a lot smoother had I gotten out my Super Cape.

Sharing

I’m soooo nice to my pals. Like really nice. So nice that I share my toys and my bones! Just check out this video from when Trooper and Spider visited the shop.

Ok fine, I was out on my walk and I had no idea that Spider was playing with my favorite toy, and Trooper was eating my bone. But I MIGHT have shared if they had asked!

Stocking Stuffer

Ok, before you label me “Bad Dog” let me explain. I honestly thought that maybe, just maybe, Santa thought I was so good this year that he brought me some Christmas goodies in my stocking early. I guess I was wrong…

Only 6 more days! I think I can make it!!
