You Don’t Need a Tissue When you have a Dog

You Don't Need a Tissue when you have a dog

From day 1 my sister has been infatuated with me. It’s probably my stunning good looks, and my spitfire personality that does it, or perhaps I guess it might be because I look like a giant stuffed animal.

And I’ve loved her from the start too, maybe because she looks like a big stuffed animal sometimes too!

Whatever the case may be, we’re both thick as thieves. So when my sister needs something, I’m going to be there for her. In this case it was a tissue…..and I was more than happy to oblige….

I just hope you repay the favor someday Baby P! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

The Dachshund Life Struggle Continues

You may have caught my post last month on the saga that is the Dachshund Life Struggle. And if you follow along with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, then likely you may have already seen many of the Dachshund Life Struggles.

Being a Dachshund is so-dang-hard that you didn’t think it would end right there now did you? No, the struggle continues – and something tells me there are even more to come!

Dachshund Takes ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

As you may have already seen on my Facebook page, last week I was nominated by one of my fans for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Never one to back down from a challenge, I accepted, putting my own little spin on it….

Yup, that’s right, I cheated and used warm water. But I did also donate to ALS, because that’s how I roll!

I decided to call out my pal Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund to follow in my footsteps (in a dog friendly way) and he accepted my challenge!

Crusoe cheated too (using lukewarm water), but he was gracious enough to donate to ALS as well.

It seems my Dog Friendly ALS Ice Bucket Challenge encouraged lots of others to become involved too, generating a whole new batch of Dog Friendly #icebucketchallenge videos. My video even made it into this article posted by Time Magazine last week.

Even though I’m no stranger to “ice”, I’m very glad my challenge video ended in a warm bath instead of something like the photo above!

As much fun as it was to participate, it was even more fun to know that my donation (and video) helped to spark even more donations. After all, that’s the whole point anyway! So if you’d like to spread the word and get your dog involved too create a dog friendly ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and post a link in the comments section or on my Facebook page. You can even put your own spin on the challenge, here’s some ideas to get you started:

-Have your dog lick an ICE cold popsicle
-Get your dog to wear a raincoat and use warm water (bonus points if your dog needed a bath anyway)
-Get your dog to take a dip in a kiddy pool on a hot day
-Let your dog take a sip of cool water out of a hose

I can’t wait to see what you all come up with! And don’t forget, it makes an even bigger difference if you donate too, any little bit helps!Ammo the Dachshund

What Does the Fox Say?

So I might be a little behind on the internet craze with the music video, What does the fox say, but I’ve totally been singing along to it’s catchy tune since last week. So catchy in fact that I dug out my “fox” costume and had a little fun.

(If you’re behind like me, you can watch the full music video by Ylvis)

In fact, after listening closer to the lyrics, I’m pretty certain the song isn’t about a fox at all, but instead it’s about ME!

What does the fox say // Ammo the Dachshund // music video

“Big blue eyes
Pointy nose
Chasing mice
and digging holes”

What does the fox say // Ammo the Dachshund // music video

“Your fur is red
So beautiful
Like an angel in disguise”


Yes, definitely about me! xoxo, Ammo the Dachshund

Dog Shaming – My Embarrassing Secrets

Have you heard of the new (gone viral) website called Dog Shamming? Essentially it’s a quirky little website dedicated to embarrassing and humiliating canines by putting our “shame” on blast for the World to see. Cruel right?

I must admit though, I did have a good chuckle at the expense of a few of these doxies….

I was having such a good time laughing my head off at these poor saps, that is until Mom reminded me that I have a few things I should be shameful of too. Who me? Yea right?
