New in the Shop! Dachshund Photo Mats

Seeing as how I work in a frame shop, it was about time that I came up with a special mat for all the dog lovers out there!

Dachshund Photo Collage Mat from Flying Hero // Ammo the Dachshund

With the help of the computerized mat cutter at the shop (and a little help from my mom too), I designed this Dachshund shaped photo mat!

In the Studio with Ammo

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

You might have noticed that some of my photos have been looking a little bit different lately.

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

Dare I even say a bit more “professional”?

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

No, I haven’t hired a professional photographer, mom has just been getting a little camera happy after she purchased me some studio backdrops…..fancy right?

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

It’s the perfect excuse to have a little photoshoot! And while we’re still just using natural light to snap my photos, mom hopes maybe someday we’ll add some real studio lighting to the mix for an even more professional look!

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

For now I’m just enjoying feeling like a celebrity and practicing for when I have my own big deal modeling gig!

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

Pretty soon the paparazzi is gonna start following me around and I’ll be as big a deal as the Kardashians!

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

But don’t worry, when I’m uber famous I’ll still be the same old cowboy I’ve always been!

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

And perhaps you’ll fall in love with me even more!

But for now I’m quite content just being me, the King of my own backyard! Ammo the Dachshund

 

I do it for the Cookies

Photo Studio with Ammo the Dachshund

It’s no secret that I’m no stranger to being in front of the camera lens. And frequently I’m asked how my mom gets me to pose so well for a photo – and honestly, it’s quite simple…

Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

….COOKIES!

Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

I’d do pretty much anything for a taste of cookie!

Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

So next time you want your dog to sit still for a photograph, make sure you have your pockets filled with cookies! Your dog will thank you! Ammo the Dachshund

King of the Castle

For those of you who did not know, I’m the King of my Castle. I rule with an iron fist and and a bark that could frighten a lion. It’s true, I even have a crown to prove it!

King of the Castle // Ammo the Dachshund

As King I demand cookies, daily entertainment in the form of tug-o-war, and all the belly rubs I so desire.

King of the Castle // Ammo the Dachshund

Oh and all groundhogs of the World must bow to me. That is all. Ammo the Dachshund

For the Ladies

Photography // Ammo the Dachshund

After yesterday’s photography studio debacle, I decided I needed to redeem myself. What better way to do so than with some sexy photos for all the ladies out there! I’m sure you’ll agree after seeing all this eye candy….

My New Studio

Photo Studio with Ammo the Dachshund

The other day mom set up a little photo studio for me in the spare room at my house. So I figured why not give it a little whirl? What could go wrong?

Photo Studio with Ammo the Dachshund

It started off innocently enough – I’m such a natural in front of the camera that mom says it’s hard to take a bad photo of me.

Photo Studio with Ammo the Dachshund

But then we started busting out some props (more like whatever mom could grab in arm’s length), and I should of known right then that things would take a turn for the worse.

And before I knew it I was wearing women’s accessories!

If you are new to this blog then I better set things straight right now, I AM A BOY! (despite what these photos may suggest).

Baseball, Huskies, and First Aid Kits

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I took a trip to one of the local baseball fields in my town.

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

I practiced running the bases (you know for when I hit a home run), and found myself wishing I hadn’t left my baseball glove at home.

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

And just when I thought my baseball team was only going to consist of me and my shadow…..my pal Shilah showed up!

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Shilah (being the puppy that she is) didn’t really have the attention span to play a game of baseball with me, so we decided to take a walk around the park instead.

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

We sniffed for buried treasures, and I showed Shilah how fast I can run! (It’s really really fast incase you were wondering)

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

And when we were done with our adventure at the park I invited Shilah back to my house for a cookout!

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Back at my house we had fun romping in the backyard, and I even let Shilah borrow my mom and her camera. Sometimes even celebrities like me need to share their paparazzi.

Shilah is quite the looker isn’t she?

Then, right before dinner we had to break out my pet first aid kit for a little uh oh!

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

See Shilah had been so busy playing in the backyard that she didn’t even notice that she had broken a toenail (those silly girls and their long nails).

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Not to worry though, Shilah’s mommy took great care in doctoring her up. We cleaned it up and applied some antibiotic ointment.

Ammo and Shilah // Ammo the Dachshund

Shilah had to spend the rest of the evening in my xpen “resting”, but I know she’ll be back for a visit in no time and we’ll be romping around in the backyard again hunting for treasures and rolling in stink. Maybe I’ll buy her a nail file for Christmas. *wink*

Sponsor Welcome: K9 CarFence

I’m very excited to welcome my new blog sponsor, K9 CarFence!

Sponsor Welcome // K9 Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember a couple of months ago I got to test out their K9 CarFence in my own car (you can read my review here).

I’m a huge advocate of keeping pets safe in the car (we’re all precious cargo now aren’t we?), and the K9 Carfence is one of those products that does just that! We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.

Some key features of the K9Carfence include:

  • Catches and cradles dogs in a soft strong net in case of sudden stops
  • Fast, easy, no-tools set up
  • Keeps your pet visible to you at all times with the see-through mesh
  • Keeps pets in a safe confined area and out from under car pedals or laps which can easily distract a driver
  • Can accommodate multiple dogs within one K9Carfence
  • Easy to fold up and move to another vehicle
