Happy Easter from Ammo the Dachshund

Well, it’s almost that time of year again. A day when a giant bunny visits your home in the night and leaves you little chocolatey presents in a basket (that you aren’t even allowed to eat if you’re a dog), and you’re expected not to bite him, chase him, or do anything that you would normally do to a bunny should he come into your home.

Yea, I don’t really get it either.

Happy Easter from Ammo the Dachshund

But, in an effort to humor my mom, and make my little sister happy, I did something that goes against ALL of my instincts as a fierce hunting dog.

Easter Bunny Visit

I sat on the Easter Bunny’s lap at the mall.

Totally embarrassing!

I didn’t bite him, but I was definitely not going to smile for my photo either! (Baby P was totally supporting me too and refused to smile as well!)

I hope you’re happy mom, because I’m pretty sure all the critters in my backyard are laughing their tails off!

Dog’s Day at Devon

A Dog's Day at the Devon Horse Show

Just like every year for the past 7 years I made sure not to miss the Devon Horse Show last week! Devon is one of the oldest and largest multi-breed horse competitions in the United States and every year it never disappoints with tasty food to eat, fun horse events to see, and of course….

….people to watch! I’ve become quite the expert at people watching, after all the things you humans do are so fascinating sometimes!

After hobnobbing with some of the equestrian elite I decided to hit the pavement and explore the grounds!

Devon has always been the go-to place for all the cool dogs in town, and I even ran into this fellow who was helping to run an art gallery on the grounds!

Then I ran into this fine looking dude, Buddy, who looked an awful lot like someone I know. I just can’t place who…. 😉

After some obligatory butt-sniffing we became fast friends! Until we meet again Buddy!

Another successful year at Devon in the books! I can’t wait until next year when I get to bring my little sister along to enjoy it too. (although I guess technically she did come along this year too….but she couldn’t really appreciate all the sights!) 😉

Are there any outings you take your dog on every single year?Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

12 Days of Cheer! Visiting Santa

Every year as per my family tradition I take a trip to visit Santa. I’ve been telling old Kris Kringle my Christmas wish list since I was just 9 weeks old! (although it appears I may have missed 2009…oops).

This year mom and dad decided to take me to the local mall during pet night to visit Santa.

When I arrived I wasn’t the only pup waiting their turn to see St. Nick, so I hopped in line and anxiously awaited my turn.

As us pups had to share Santa’s lap with all the boys and girls too the wait was quite long, luckily I was able to do some window shopping while I waited.

After about 2 hours (yikes!) I finally made my way to the front of the line.

I was quite patient as I practiced my sit and stay in the busy mall corridor.

As I inched my way closer to the “north pole” I could hardly wait anymore!

As you can see by the look on my face by the time it was my turn in Santa’s lap I was quite tired of this waiting game!

Finally it was my turn with the jolly guy, and let me tell you it was worth the wait.

I quickly told him what I wanted under the tree this year and sat for my obligatory photo, because we all know what you get AFTER visiting with Santa……cookies! (as you can see I’m already eyeballing them in the photo above!)
