Ode to My Mailman
I wonder what it’s like to be a mailman,
To carry all that mail.
I bet I’d look sweet in that uniform,
Even with my furry tail.
I probably wouldn’t want to go outside in bad weather,
So I might not be so great at delivering a letter.
And I’d much rather wait for the mail anyway,
Because my mailman does it so much better!
After all, he always remembers to deliver me a sweet treat! Thanks for all the mail Mr. Mailman! 
Does your dog enjoy waiting for the mail?
Just like my boy Macklemore my mom has been hitting up the local thrift store with only 20 dollars in her pocket in search of some hidden gems.
She’s been coming home from the local Goodwill with all kinds of cool finds for my sister. Those dog pjs are super cute I have to admit. Honestly though, I was starting to feel a little left out.
I probably shouldn’t have spoke too soon, because before I knew it mom had popped two dog hats out of her bag that she had picked up just for me. Sigh, I knew where this was going….
Yup, before I could bark in protest it was a full blown dress-up session!
Eh, who am I kidding. I totally love to play dress-up….especially since I look so awesome in this hat!
I might not look as cool in this one, but at least my head will be warm the next time it snows! (And yes, I’m rooting for snow at least once more this winter, because otherwise I won’t get to try out my new sled!)
I’m pretty sure Baby P is chomping at the bit to play Dress-up with me. Soon, very soon, and in the meantime I’m more than happy to practice in my ninety-nine cent hat! And in the words of Macklemore….
I’m a take your grandpa’s style, I’m a take your grandpa’s style,
No for real – ask your grandpa – can I have his hand-me-downs?
Have you ever found something awesome at the Thrift Store for your dog?
Now that I’m the coolest big brother ever, it’s come to my attention that to be EVEN cooler (if that’s even possible), that I need to practice my “nursery rhymes”. My sister likes when I “sing” to her, and she likes it even more when I dig holes. Well, this is perfect, because I have just the song to sing her in preparation of Spring (aka Groundhog season).
Heigh-Ho
A “Cooler” Version by Ammo
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in my hole the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what I really like to do
It ain’t no trick to get groundhogs quick
If you dig dig dig with a paw or a pick
In a hole! In a hole! In a hole! In a hole!
Where a million groundhogs live!
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
I dig up groundhogs by the score
A thousand critters, sometimes more
But I don’t know what I dig ’em for
I dig dig dig a-dig dig
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho
Much better than the original song, right?
And don’t worry, if I ever get tired of digging, I can bring in reinforcements. Happy Digging!
Does your dog like to dig as much as me?
I can hardly believe that it’s been 1/2 a year since Baby P was born! She’s growing up much too fast!
While she’s now sitting up and eating real foods, and even attempting to crawl a little….there are some things that haven’t changed one bit…
…and that’s her love for her favorite puppy in the whole wide world, me! (She’s not even embarrassed to kiss me in front of the camera!) In fact she loves me so much that everytime she sees me I get greeted with a high pitched excited squeal. That or maybe she thinks my name is Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
We’re both already planning all of our Spring and Summer adventures…especially once she starts walking and I can show her all of my favorite groundhog holes. So much to do, so little time.
Happy 6 months Baby P! I’m so glad I get to be by your side while you grow up!
You might remember that not long ago I was anxiously awaiting my sister’s arrival. Even more so because my lovely friend Suzanne had made me and my sister some lovely crochet items.
Well the time has finally come, and my sister can wear them with me!!
As you can see, Baby P was very excited that we were going to get to play DRESS UP. Something tells me there will be a lot of dress up games in my future.
That’s ok though, because anything that makes Baby P smile this much is totally worth it!
So from Cowgirls…
….to Goldilocks ….I’m ready for all of it!
And if there is a “Best Dog of the Year Award”, I’m pretty sure I deserve it. I guess I’ll also accept belly rubs, cookies, and weekend hikes as recognition too. You’re welcome Baby P.
xoxo, Your big brother,
What do you think Baby P and I should dress up as next?
I like to think I’m a pretty fit dog. I mean I exercise regularly, I try to eat a healthy meal (aside from that 1/2 a hoagie I stole off the dining room table the other day….but that hardly counts), and I’m always ready for fun adventures!
So when I recently caught sight of the TV show, American Ninja Warrior, I was totally hooked! I mean I could EASILY get through those tough obstacle courses.
Half the battle is having flair anyway, and I totally have that covered!
Unfortunately American Ninja Warrior doesn’t accept dog submissions. But, that wasn’t going to stop me from having a little fun of my own, because I invented AMERICAN BARN WARRIOR….
Just as challenging, and with equal amounts of flair, American Barn Warrior is going to be the next big thing.
Hay Bale obstacles, trenches, and perhaps a horse or two….it’s not for the faint of heart (or those of you who didn’t eat your wheaties today!).
So what do you think, are you up for the challenge? Do you think you could master my American Barn Warrior Challenge?
Ever since Baby P showed up at my house the toy situation has gotten a little confusing. As in, how am I supposed to tell the difference between a baby toy and dog toy? That’s where you come in!
Can you help me decipher which one of these fine toys are dog toys and which are baby toys?
I loose sleep over this. Did I chew on Baby P’s favorite stuffed animal or did I bury the correct ball in the back yard? It’s enough to make you crazy!
Once you’ve made your guesses scroll on down to the bottom of the page to see if you got it right…..

If you guessed these toys were dog toys, then you are right!
And if you guessed these toys were baby toys, then you are right!
I blame mostly the Barkshop*, because their toys are so super amazing that Baby P. wants to play with them too! (Use code AMMO for a super cool surprise at checkout)

Does your dog have any toys that could totally pass for baby toys?
Time seems to be moving much too quickly, because Baby P is now 5 months old! Can you believe it?
So much has changed since Little P first arrived home, and now she’s drooling and attempting to eat pretty much anything she can get her hands on. I’m so proud, I taught her well.
She’s really taken a liking to me (what’s not to like, I’m the coolest dog ever), and I’m really starting to enjoy her giggly happy squeals when she sees me. In fact, I even get to claim credit for Baby P’s first TRUE belly laugh!
Don’t grow up too fast Baby P, I still have lots of things about the World to teach you!
Well, Christmas at my house came and went, and it was a fantastic whirlwind of wrapping paper, family and plenty of fun! And since I know you don’t want to feel like you missed the fun, I decided to share a recap of all my adventures.
This year of course was extra special because I got to share my Christmas morning with my new little sister, Baby P.
I helped her open all her presents from Santa, and explained to her why we aren’t supposed to be super excited when we get socks in our stocking. (although I’m pretty sure that lecture when right over her head!)
And then I helped Baby P open a very interesting present….
….it was another me!!!
I wasn’t really sure how I felt about it at first. I mean was Santa trying to replace me?
But as the day went on I realized he wasn’t all that bad. I mean after all we now out number the babies in this house….which means when it comes to take a vote on whether we go to shopping at Petco vs. Babies R’ Us me and my little sidekick here will win every time!
Christmas morning at my house was full of wonderful memories. And in case you are wondering, yes, I got lots of presents from Santa!
Christmas didn’t end there though, because my family and I were off to celebrate with all of our extended family. We ate, exchanged gifts, and created even more memories.
And when my cousins got into town, you know things got crazy!
And that my friends, is another Christmas come and gone!
What about you? What was your favorite Christmas memory this year?
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!
