12 Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade Time!

Every year I put on my best holiday gear and get ready for the Downingtown Christmas Parade in town.

12 Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade with Ammo the Dachshund

This year was no exception!

12 Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade with Ammo the Dachshund

Being that I have a 9-5 job working as official shop greeter at mom’s shop in town, parade time I have to work extra hard to invite parade goers into the shop for free hot cider & cookies!

Luckily I’m pretty cute, so my job usually isn’t that hard. *wink*

12 Days of Cheer! Christmas Parade with Ammo the Dachshund

After working hard at the shop all morning I was excited to hear that the parade was about to start. I made sure I got a front row seat for all the action!

Step 4: Spray paint the jar in any color you would like.

I filled my jar with some peanut butter cookies from the Three Dog Bakery, but if you are looking for some recipes you might want to check out this E-book from Pretty Fluffy.

My new DIY Holiday Dog Cookie Jar would make the perfect gift this holiday to give to my best friend Trooper, however my tummy might have the final ruling on this one. I’m sure Trooper won’t mind if I eat just a few! Ammo the Dachshund

12 Days of Cheer! Visiting Santa

Last week mom and dad took me to Waterloo Gardens to see Santa. I was so excited because I couldn’t wait to tell him all of the lovely gifts I wanted him to pack on his sleigh for me.

12 Days of Cheer // Ammo the Dachshund visits Santa

Mom and dad snapped lots of photos of me, and I made sure to pack my reindeer antlers….just in case Santa was in need of one more reindeer for his sleigh!

12 Days of Cheer // Ammo the Dachshund visits Santa

Sadly Santa saw right though my cardboard antlers, but he made me feel much better with a great big Christmas hug! Best day ever!

Little did I know, later in the week I’d get to see Santa again, this time at the Animal Clinic at Thorndale. This trip to Santa gave me a chance to donate money to the fund for Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief. Yay for helping the animals!

I’ll have to wait a bit longer to see the professional photos from Clocks for Seeing Photography, but mom and dad were able to snap this shot of me on Santa’s lap.

12 Days of Cheer // Ammo's trip to see Santa

Yes, I’ll admit – I was a bit frightened. But when Santa sets up shop in your vet’s office…..you can’t help but worry that his Christmas gift to you is bound to be a round of shots. Luckily he had mercy on me this year. Thanks Santa.

Now I only have 12 more days until I get to see Santa again – when he slides down my chimney on Christmas Eve! Yippee! Ammo the Dachshund

12 Days of Cheer!

Starting today I’m going to be celebrating the 12 Days of Cheer! What is the 12 Days of Cheer you ask? Why only the most awesome, spectacular, fantastic celebration of all things Holiday on the internet!

12 Days of Cheer! with Ammo the Dachshund

For 12 days (monday through friday) I’ll be bringing you awesome holiday DIY’s, cheerful Christmas photos, holiday freebies, dog friendly gifts and so much more. It’s going to be so much fun!

I hope you’ll join me in celebrating the 12 Days of Cheer, because it wouldn’t be as much fun without you! Ammo the Dachshund

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What do you think? Am I too over dressed for the New Year’s Party? I couldn’t find my Mardi Gras beads so I had to raid Mom’s jewelry box to complete my new years outfit.

In hindsight I probably should have went with the fake mustache……

Oh well, there’s always next year! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I’m looking forward to lots more adventures in 2011! Cheers!
