Nurse Ammo

Nurse Ammo // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m going to be spending a lot of time on the couch for the next couple of weeks, because I have a very important job to do.

I’ve got my very best nurse hat on because mom had knee surgery earlier this week and is going to have to be on crutches for the next 6 weeks.

I’m very sad to have to miss agility class and going to the farm, but I know if I take extra good care of mom we’ll be back to normal in no time.

So my blog posts might be a bit varied for the next few weeks, and I may need to get a bit creative since my official photographer is a little under the weather. Well, at least until I learn how to work the camera with these clumsy paws. But have no fear, I’m not going anywhere! xoxo, Ammo the Dachshund

 

The Day After Christmas

It’s the day after Christmas, and lucky for me I have the day off of work!

The Day After Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m very much looking forward to spending my day lounging around the house and catching up on some much needed napping.

Not to worry though, I’ll be fully recharged in no time – and ready to share my Christmas adventures with everyone!

Merry Day After Christmas to You! Ammo the Dachshund

Average Day

Ammo the Dachshund

Not all of my days are as adventurous as the next.

Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes I wake to find that today will just be an average day.

Ammo the Dachshund

Quiet and calm.

Ammo the Dachshund

Some might even say boring.

It’s days like these that I get to rest up for my next big adventure. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Plus I really enjoy napping. Ammo the Dachshund

October Instagram Weekend

My Birthday weekend was a whirlwind of opening presents, hanging out at the shop, running on the farm, and curling up at home.

I’m still recovering from all the fun, but I thought I’d give you a little taste of what I’ve been up to via my Instagram photos….

Mom had her own busy weekend filled with weddings and ranch sorting with the ponies, but she still had time to give me the best Birthday ever! Thanks mom!

Saying Goodbye

Ammo the Dachshund // Nursing Home Visit

Saying goodbye is never easy, and today I am saying goodbye to a very special lady, my great-grandma.

Ammo the Dachshund // Nursing Home Visit

Over the years Trooper and I have enjoyed making visits to the nursing home where she lived. I would show her the new tricks I learned and take walks up and down the hallways. She inspired me to become a therapy dog, and although our favorite familiar face won’t be there any longer, we hope to continue to visit our friends there.

We miss you Grandmaruth and we’ll be thinking of you every time we play a round of Kings in the Corner. xoxo Ammo the Dachshund

Backyard Super Hero

I was playing with my next door neighbor, Harley the Rottweiler, when I happened to mention that I’m a Super Hero. She laughed and said “That’s silly Ammo, you don’t even have a Super Hero outfit”.

So I quickly bounded inside to show her that yes, in fact I do have a Super Hero outfit, and it is so awesome she won’t believe her eyes!

Behold the awesome-ness that is Super Ammo, protecter of canines and hunter of groundhogs.

Ammo the Dachshund // Backyard Super Hero

I can burrow down a groundhog hole as fast and lightning and my paws are like rocket-powered shovels.

Ammo the Dachshund // Backyard Super Hero

I visit the elderly and make children giggle.

I also like unicorns and believe in magic fairy dust….

…and on occasion I roll in dead worms.

Harley is sooooo jealous! Ammo the Dachshund

Labor Day Lounging

I’m dropping by today to wish everyone an enjoyable Labor Day.

Ammo the Dachshund // Labor Day 2012

I’m spending my afternoon lounging under my apple tree in the back yard and wishing that summer could stay just a little bit longer.

I’ll be back tomorrow to share my adventures from this past weekend! Hope you have a wonderful rest of the day. Ammo the Dachshund

The Half Smile

It’s no secret that my mom takes TONS of photos of me. Like for every one you see on my blog there are probably 20 that don’t make the cut.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Now even though I know I’m like the holy grail of cuteness when it comes to dogs, that’s a lot of photos if you think about it – and it also pretty much means that I have a camera in my face 24/7.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Now don’t get me wrong, I love having my photo taken, but sometimes I’m not always in the photogenic mood.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

No, sometimes I’m just plain tired and try as I might I just can’t muster the energy to put on a show for the camera.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

But just as soon as I decide I’d much rather take a nap during today’s photoshoot I’m reminded of all of you.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

Yes, I’m reminded of those of you reading my blog in secret at work, or sneaking a peek on your phone during class, or waiting to catch a glimpse of my adorable mug on my Facebook page. And I am ashamed. Ashamed for showing you a photo of my behind – while still very adorable – it just doesn’t cut it.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

So I gathered my strength, and gave it all the effort my tiny little hot dog body had to make your day a little brighter.

Ammo the Dachshund // The Half Smile

It’s my half smile. You’re welcome. Ammo the Dachshund

Time on the farm, dinner out with mom and dad, homemade pickles, napping, and a trip to the ice cream shop. It was the perfect way to spend my weekend. Ammo the Dachshund

It’s Summer and it’s hot. So you’ll have to excuse me if all I do today is nap on the bed in the cool cool air conditioning. That is all.
