Happy Easter from Ammo the Dachshund

Well, it’s almost that time of year again. A day when a giant bunny visits your home in the night and leaves you little chocolatey presents in a basket (that you aren’t even allowed to eat if you’re a dog), and you’re expected not to bite him, chase him, or do anything that you would normally do to a bunny should he come into your home.

Yea, I don’t really get it either.

But, in an effort to humor my mom, and make my little sister happy, I did something that goes against ALL of my instincts as a fierce hunting dog.

Easter Bunny Visit

I sat on the Easter Bunny’s lap at the mall.

Totally embarrassing!

I didn’t bite him, but I was definitely not going to smile for my photo either! (Baby P was totally supporting me too and refused to smile as well!)

I hope you’re happy mom, because I’m pretty sure all the critters in my backyard are laughing their tails off!

Happy Easter Everyone! Have you ever taken your dog to visit the Easter Bunny?

A Very Merry Christmas with the Jolly Guy

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Ammo

Just before Thanksgiving I went on a special adventure to visit Santa! Now I know what you’re thinking, visiting Santa before Thanksgiving? But hey….

A Very Merry Christmas

…no lines! And when you have your little baby sister with you, no lines is a good thing!

A Very Merry Christmas

That’s right, this was Baby P’s first time visiting with Santa. And you know I taught her well when the first thing she did was to tug on Santa’s beard to make sure it was real. You can never be too careful these days!

A Very Merry Christmas

And if you’re thinking I let Baby P have all the fun, you would be mistaken. I NEVER pass up the opportunity to tell a jolly man in a red suit EXACTLY what I want for Christmas!

Next year Baby P and I need to work on our smiles. (It’s always hard to concentrate on picture taking when you’re trying to remember your Christmas wish list). We’ll get there.

It was fun to actually have a buddy to visit Santa with this year, after all, for the past 8 years I’ve been doing it solo. Santa is always more fun with friends!

Do your dogs get to visit Santa every year?

Dog Days of Cheer! Visiting Santa

Posted on December 10, 2015 by Ammo

Every year I take an annual picture on good old St. Nick’s lap. Since I was 8 weeks old I haven’t missed a chance to whisper in Santa’s ear all the goodies I’d like him to bring me under the tree (because we all know I’m always super good and would NEVER deserve coal).

And Santa, incase you’re reading this, it definitely wasn’t me that opened up all those Christmas packages that were sitting at my front door last week. I’m pretty sure we have a squirrel on the rampage!

This year for my annual Santa visit I visited the mall! It’s not every day that us dogs get to visit such a shopping establishment (although if it were up to me dogs would definitely be allowed in the mall all the time!).

I’m pretty sure I made all the other dogs jealous with my awesome Christmas gear (which by the way you can snag one of these super cool handmade holiday pet hats from my friend on etsy), and Santa even commented that I looked like I should be working in the North Pole! How cool!

Now Santa and me are BFF’s, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he took me for a sleigh ride on Christmas Eve. Now if I could only figure out what to wear…..

Do you take your dog to visit Santa?

The Dog Friendly Shake Shack

Posted on May 21, 2014 by Ammo

On a recent excursion I found myself at the King of Prussia Mall, right around dinner time I might add. Not one to pass up an opportunity to dine out with my family, I decided to try out one of the local dog friendly restaurants.

The Shake Shack is located just outside the mall, and has establishments in other states as well. I had heard rumors that they had a dog menu, so I couldn’t wait to try it out!

I waited patiently outside under our table while mom and dad went inside to check out the menu.

There was in fact a whole section of the menu dedicated to us furry four-legged patrons!

In collaboration with one of my favorite bakeries, Bocce’s Bakery, the Shake Shack offered up some tasty biscuits and frozen treats.

But alas, they were all sold out of both when mom and dad finally made it up to the counter to order!

There was no shortage of human food though and while my parents chowed down on hot dogs, burgers, fries and shakes, I was left staring at the table like this….

Don’t worry, when you look this cute you get your fair share of burgers and fries too!

I’ll just have to hit up the Shake Shack again soon to try out their doggie menu. What’s your dog’s favorite dog friendly restaurant? Share your favorites around the country in the comments below!
