That’s right, the Toshiba Petbook I mentioned at the beginning of this post was a clever little April Fools Day joke thought up by the funny folks at Toshiba. I thought it was just too hilarious not to share (although I secretly did wish it was real). If you click on an of the “learn more” buttons at the bottom of their page you can see their little ruse!

Happy April Fools Day! Did I fool you?Ammo the Dachshund

Pet Expos, Oscars, and More Snow

This past weekend was packed of lots of fun things. On Sunday mom hit up the National Pet Expo in Harrisburg, Pa. I was a little miffed she didn’t bring me along, but apparently dogs weren’t allowed in the adjoining Horse World Expo – so I had to stay home this time.

National Pet Expo // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom said there was lots of fun doggie entertainment including trick performances, flyball demos, agility, doggie dancing, and even dock diving!

The Dock Dogs put on a great show according to mom, and her video had me wishing I was brave enough to dive like that myself.

National Pet Expo // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom even stopped by the Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue booth where she met this cutie, and even spotted my photo advertising their upcoming Spring Doxie Fest! How cool!

National Pet Expo // Ammo the Dachshund

There was lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes at the National Pet Expo – although I’m not entirely positive that this gal isn’t half sheep as well?

National Pet Expo // Ammo the Dachshund

But dogs weren’t the only ones there – this little Nigerian Dwarf Goat totally stole the show in his cute little pj’s.

National Pet Expo // Ammo the Dachshund

Before mom headed home from the expo she also checked out the Horse World Expo, where she swung by the Bitless Bridle booth and spotted my pal Boomerang’s photo advertising the versatility of these bridles. (My mom is the one wearing a red shirt in the photos).

Oscars 2014 // Ammo the Dachshund

After mom got home (and I begged her for the details on the expo), we settled in to watch the Oscars with host Ellen DeGeneres! I of course wore my super hero ensemble in honor of the “heroes” theme!

Oscars 2014 // Ammo the Dachshund

I especially loved watching the compilation of cartoon super heroes!

Oscars 2014 // Ammo the Dachshund

But I have to admit some of the scenes were a bit scary – even for a hero!

Oscars 2014 // Ammo the Dachshund

I made it until about 11pm – but sometimes even super heroes can’t stay up past their bedtime!

Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

I awoke the next morning to another blanket of snow! (that groundhog was right for once predicting 6 more weeks of winter).

Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

My fuzzy pony friends don’t seem to mind the cold at all, but when it is in the single digits I just can’t hang outside in the cold for long!

It was still fun for as long as I lasted though!

So how was your weekend? Did you go on any fun adventures? 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?

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

You see, I’m a Super Hero too!

Super Pony DVD Release! via Ammo the Dachshund and Painting Pony

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

Ammo the Dachshund Super Hero and his Super Hero 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.

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

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

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

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.

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

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

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s almost as if I was actually there!

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

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!

Oscars Recap // Ammo the Dachshund - Kristen Stewart on Crutches

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?
