Horse Show Helper

Iron Horse Farm Show Helper // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend we held the last of our series of horse events at the farm for the season. I’m always the bestest of helpers, see there’s me guarding the arena equipment before the show starts!

I take on many duties when event day arrives – here’s me and Trooper helping to set up the food booth.

I also help to direct people to the Secretary table – where they need to sign up for the event.

But my number one job on event day is always the meet and greet committee. I’ve had lots of practice with this being a shop dog!

Welcoming everyone with a friendly tail wag is always top priority! Ammo the Dachshund

Adventures in Graphic Design

My average week consists of a 5 day work week – in which I greet customers most of the day at my mom’s custom frame shop. But with mom gone all last week I found myself actually missing work!

So Dad offered me up the chance to go to work with him – and try my paw at being a graphic designer just like my dad!

I arrived at work early, and was excited to see if they had set me up with a window office.

Unfortunately they must not have known how important I am, because my “office” was a spot on the floor – hardly conducive to working on graphic design! Humph!

I took a tour around the office, and then it was time to get down to business.

I helped dad with some of his work, but quickly grew bored of staring at a computer screen. Somehow the job sounded much more glamorous than I thought – or at least I was hoping we would be designing something I was interested in – like dog food ads!

So I took the rest of the afternoon off and parked myself by the front door – waiting for customers to come just like I do at mom’s shop.

Unfortunately dad’s office does not have the same sort of traffic flow as mom’s retail business – so my “happy to meet you tail wag” didn’t get much use.

That’s ok though, because I used all the free time I had to “clean” the kitchen before lunch for all of the hard-working employees. I’m pretty sure it was much appreciated!

I had fun with dad at work, but I think I’d much rather greet customer’s at mom’s shop all day – sorry dad! But it’s good to be needed, no matter where I work! Ammo the Dachshund
