A Parading We Will Go

Posted on by

Holiday Christmas Parade

A few weekends ago I took Baby P on a very special outing. I took her to her very first Christmas parade!

The real reason I’m always in attendance of my town’s holiday parade is to entertain the customers at our shop. I always do a pretty good job of that (nobody’s better than me at playing dead), and this year Baby P even helped me out by squealing and dancing for all the visitors too (only my camera crew missed catching that, shame on them). It was nice to have a little extra help, entertaining customers is hard work!

But after our duties at the shop (and more than a few diaper changes for Baby P), we hit the streets to watch the parade.

Fire trucks and flashing lights are always a favorite for me and now my sister too, but the music really gets us in the Christmas mood!

I was super excited to see some fellow low riders in the parade! Although I’m pretty sure I totally had them out dressed!

Baby P though, she got to wave to Santa! I admit, I was a bit jealous, but then I remembered that I’ve had 8 years of Santa visiting my house just for me, so I felt a little better about sharing Santa with my sister this year. Overall we had a blast at the Holiday Parade this year, and I can’t wait until next year when my sister will be running around at it with me!

Only 3 more sleeps until I get to see what Santa brings me under the tree! I can’t wait!

A Big Change

Take Your Dog to Work Day // Custom Framing // Ammo the Dachshund

As many of you may already know, I spend most of my weekdays working as a shop dog in a custom framing shop. For the past 7 years I’ve had the very important duty of shop greeter, making people smile on a daily basis! Even though I’ve been doing an amazing job, mom says this year I’m going to get a little help with my job when my new sister comes to the shop to help me handle all my duties. To make some room at the shop for an extra “employee” it was time to make some updates to our work space.

So here’s what my shop used to look like:

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 15 with Ammo the Dachshund

Things were about to change though….

Over memorial day weekend dad came in with all his tools and a whole stack of ikea boxes and we got to work building. I spent some late nights at the shop that weekend, but in the end it was worth it!

The new design table for all my customers to order their framing on turned out fabulous, even if dad built it a little too tall for us short “people”.

With a whole new look to my store there was only one thing left to do….

Now that things are back to business as usual, I’m back to my post at the front door waiting to greet all the customers.

And you know what, I’m really starting to love this new bigger space. There’s even more room now for me to stretch out for belly rubs!

Shopping with a Small Business

Posted on by

This holiday season I wanted to thank everyone out there that has supported small businesses. Being that I work in my mom’s small business, and I also run my own online shop, small businesses have a special place in my heart.

Shopping small businesses

Because honestly, you can’t go to a big box store and be greeted by a happy tail wagging dog like me!

As you can see, I’m a pretty hard-working pup!

Don’t forget to shop small this season, and support your local businesses. 🙂 Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Photographer's Muse // Ammo the Dachshund

For Christmas my mom got some new photography gear – mainly some fun studio lights that we can mess around with.

Of course I volunteered my services immediately as super model while she practices getting better at using the lighting. I’m so helpful like that.

Only eventually I noticed that I wasn’t the only subject she was photographing (the horror!) as items for mom’s business began to take center stage.

Photographer's Muse // Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t worry though, because I know just how to get the attention back to me!

Photographer's Muse // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s called sad puppy eyes…and you could totally learn a thing or two from me in that department.

And when all else fails, flop on the floor and throw a temper tantrum. WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

P.S. want to shop for these fun photo mats and more, check out my mom’s online shop! And sorry, adorable photos of me aren’t included.

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

Many many months ago, my mom and dad started building something intriguing.

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

It took quite a while to take shape, and at first I wasn’t quite sure what it was going to be for.

But the farther along my mom and dad got on their project, the more I began to worry…because I knew where it was going to end up.

Yup, that’s right it ended up right in the window of my shop.

Now you may be thinking, what’s the big deal? Well the big deal is that my shop already has something in the window that grabs the attention of potential customers.

And that something is me! So as nice as the new shop sign is, I just really hope I won’t be out of a job anytime soon! Ammo the Dachshund

Working like a Dog

Most of you already know that I’m a regular working dog at my mom’s custom frame shop in our home town. So I thought it would be fun to share some photos of me “working like a dog” at the shop. Because we all know I work the hardest out of anyone!

That time a Car Crashed through my Shop

Posted on by

Those of you that follow me on Instagram may have noticed an interesting photo that I posted last weekend:

No joke, at about 2am on a Friday night mom and dad got a call from police that a stolen vehicle had crashed into our shop. Truth be told, I never even woke up – even when mom and dad left the house to go check it out.

Mom and Dad spent hours at the shop cleaning up the damage, which there was a fair amount of.

And when I arrived at work the next day, I couldn’t believe what had happened to my shop!

Even though there was lots of damage, thankfully no one was hurt in the crash. I’m counting my lucky stars, because it could of been much worse.

And I’m thinking now that the windowsill is damaged anyway, perhaps we should rebuild with a dachshund sized perch instead! Ammo the Dachshund
