Ammo’s Aquatic Halloween

Well, Halloween is almost here, so it’s finally time for me to reveal my 2016 Costume. Each year I try to come up with something homemade, and a little different. Last year I was Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy, as I love to draw inspiration from some of my favorite movies. This year was no different.

Now if you don’t recognize this year’s costume then you must not have seen the movie Life Aquatic*. Here’s a brief synopsis:

“INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS OCENAOGRAPHER STEVE ZISSOU & HIS CREW SET SAIL ON AN EXPEDITION TO HUNT DOWN THE MYSTERIOUS, ELUSIVE – POSSIBLY NONEXISTENT – JAGUAR SHARK THAT KILLED ZISSOU’S PARTNER DURING THE DOCUMENTARY FILMING OF THEIR LATEST ADVENTURE.”

Adventure, well I’m in! Of course I was going to need a team though….

Thanks to my mom and her handy glue gun I bet you would never have known that I’m not the real Rocket Raccoon from the Guardians of the Galaxy. I probably had you fooled didn’t I?

Probably a bit more convincing when my best pal Groot shows up to the party though!

Now if you’ll excuse me, me and my pals Star-Lord, Gamora, and Groot need to break out of jail so we can go defend the galaxy.

Movies in the Park

Movie in the Park // Ammo the Dachshund

Last week I went on a fun “end of the summer” adventure with mom and dad to watch an outdoor movie in my local park.

And as if the sadness of Summer ending weren’t enough already, it was even chilly enough that I had to wear my sweatshirt!

But despite the cooler weather, I was still pretty excited to roll out my Park It Mat and watch the classic movie, The Sandlot.

There were lots of kids in attendance for the movie, but not too many of the furry four legged kind. That’s ok though, more popcorn for me!

Only mom didn’t bring me any popcorn (the horror!), instead I had my strawberry toy stuffed with peanut butter to snack on. Can’t say I can complain!

Watching The Sandlot under the stars was a fantastic way to wrap up my Summer. But don’t worry, I still have a few more summery things to squeeze in before it ends! Ammo the Dachshund

Super Heroes at the Oscars

Oscars 2014

So I heard that during the Oscars (airing on March 2nd) they will be celebrating movie characters who save the day. You know, like Super Heroes!

But my only question is, where is my invite?

You see, I’m a Super Hero too!

Not only that, but I even starred in my very own Super Hero Movie with my pal Super Minnow the Pony!

So while I’m sure the Oscars will be an exciting event, it will never be as spectacular as it could have been if a certain pony and his canine friend were invited to partake!

The paparazzi would of swarmed me anyway, so perhaps it’s better I get to just watch from the comfort of my own couch.

You might even remember last year I got all fancied up for the occasion, but alas, I guess it’s not my time to grace the red carpet. However, I’m sure you could put in your requests on the Academy’s Facebook Page for a certain little dachshund celebrity to be in attendance for next year! Paws crossed!

And if you’re looking for something extra fun to make watching the Oscars on the couch (like me) exciting, check out this fun Free 2014 printable Oscar Bingo. Be sure to share your fun along with me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, use hashtag #oscarswithammo Ammo the Dachshund

Ammo’s Oscar Recap

The stars, the lights, the cameras, and the red carpet – The Oscars was on last night – and of course I was in attendance. Ok well sort of (from my couch at least), but that’s the very best seat in the house anyway.

Just because I didn’t get to walk the actual red carpet doesn’t mean I didn’t dress the part.

I wore the always fashionable Silly Buddy Bowtie – and even had a chance to get a little primping done.

I got my hair did!

Admittedly my hair dresser isn’t quite up on the most fashionable trends, but I rocked that mullet anyway.

The oscars provided me with a full night of entertainment as I got down with all the singing & dancing.

It’s almost as if I was actually there!

I also had my eyes peeled all night for one of my celebrity pals, Crusoe (you may remember that we both dressed up as Wile E. Coyote this past year for Halloween).

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

Crusoe apparently won an Oscar (meyer-weiner) for Best Celebrity Dog (hello, where was my nomination?) – but since the Academy Awards went on well past my bed time I just couldn’t stay awake to see his acceptance speech.

I’m sure he just rambled off a list of thank yous that included his squeaky toys and celebrity stylists – so I gather I probably didn’t miss much. *wink*

Even though I didn’t catch an actual glimpse of Crusoe on the red carpet, I have my own speculations as to why Kristen Stewart walked the carpet with crutches (run-in with a shorter than average celebrity??? hummmm Crusoe?). We may never know for sure!

Next year I hope to be out on the red carpet myself – and I’ve already started planning my outfit! I’m thinking a neon yellow tux would really make me jump out in the crowd!

So what about you, what was your favorite part of the oscars this year?

The Year in Pup Culture, Starring Ammo!

Ok, well maybe I won’t be the “star” per say, but I am in fact going to be on an upcoming television show on Animal Planet this month!

I bet you didn’t know you were in the presence of a celebrity! In fact, I’ve actually been on national television several times before.

First a clip of my pal Minnow and me aired on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Dogs:

Then in 2010 a clip of me and my girlfriend, Cricket, appeared on Animal Planet’s America’s Cutest Cats:

Set to air on Saturday, December 22 9PM (ET/PT) a clip of me and my partner in crime, Minnow, will appear on the show THE YEAR IN PUP CULTURE.

It’s an action-packed hour of non-stop, over-the-top cuteness (probably because I’ll be in it). THE YEAR IN PUP CULTURE looks back at the defining moments of 2012 as only Animal Planet can — with puppies! These adorable pups reenact the most memorable moments of the year, including scenes from top blockbuster movies and ripped-from-the headline bits. If these moments piqued public interest in 2012, they are getting “puppified” in the cutest hour on television.

So set your DVR’s, ready the popcorn, and be on the lookout for a short clip of me and my pony friend!

And don’t worry, incase you miss it – I’ll be sure to record it and share with everyone! Ammo the Dachshund

Friend’s House

Occasionally I take a break from my busy work schedule to visit friends. Case-in-point, on Saturday I got to hang out at a friends house. We ate popcorn and watched Star Trek.

And I made myself right at home!

I just wish they had a little doggie friend for me to play with (hint hint)….I promise I’d teach him the ways of the World. Just look at my sad puppy eyes. Sigh. Maybe someday. A boy can wish!
