No Big Woof

No Big Woof

Just yesterday mom snapped this photo of me while Dad was working on a project at the shop. Some may be surprised that I was able to nap through a power drill right by my bed, but there is a really good reason as to why this sort of thing doesn’t bother me. See, my mom and dad are artists and DIYers, which means that power tools are pretty much NO BIG WOOF to me anymore.

I made it through an entire Kitchen remodel in 2015.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Building of a Farmhouse

I helped with excavation on the farm.

I helped Trooper with his post and beam house in 2012.

I helped lay radiant flooring.

And on my VERY first day with my new family I helped build fencing.

So yup, power tools are NO BIG WOOF.

Now vacuum cleaners ….that’s a whole other story. Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Every day my best friend Trooper is just a wee bit closer to being able to move into his new house on the farm. I know, I know, I’ve been saying that for years…..but this is definitely going to be the year!

Especially since I’ve been around the lend a helping paw! Just check out the video below of me collecting the trash into a nice little pile….

Watch this video on instagram.

I’m a pretty enthusiastic helper, as you can see.

Trooper on the other hand never looks thrilled about helping out. But honestly, I don’t blame him….he’s been helping everyday for years!

Don’t worry buddy, the work will be done soon (we hope), and you’ll be able to nap in your new house!

I even kept the bed warm for you! Ammo the Dachshund

Barn Raising

Trooper and I were hanging out on the farm this morning because the Timber Frame has arrived for the new farmhouse.

The Timbers arrived on the truck to be used in the construction of Trooper’s new post and beam house being built on the farm.

My initial inspection earned a paws up review from me – and I told the boys to start loading up the crane!

After the crane piled all the timbers into the new house, Trooper and I were anxious to see how they would put them together.

We watched from afar for a bit, but eventually we just couldn’t wait any longer to get our paws dirty too.

So Trooper convinced his mom and dad that we would promise to be safe if they let us get a little closer to see just how a post and beam house is constructed.

As you can imagine, Trooper was very excited!

I was enthralled with watching the construction workers help the crane lower the beams into the house.

But the very best part – getting to watch Trooper’s Dad pound some of the very first pegs into the timber frame.

It was a VERY exciting day, and Trooper even got to keep a souvenir of the day! Lucky! Ammo the Dachshund
