Super Dog vs. Super Pony – School Addition

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Ammo

***UPDATE*** we realize this video is being blocked for some people – as soon as possible we will upload another version. Thanks for baring with these technical difficulties!

Do you remember when I made my first Elementary School Visit with my pal Minnow back in May? Well, the day has finally come – my live performance video with Minnow is complete! My Uncle Taylor (the filmmaker) shot and edited this whole video – and it turned out really cool! Not that it wouldn’t, considering I’m the star of the show.

P.S. Minnow may have won the trophy this time, but there is no way I’ll let him beat me next time!

***UPDATE*** if you are having trouble watching the video above, try this version (without the super cool super hero music) – ON YOUTUBE

Rumor has it that mom’s recapping all of Minnow’s adventures on Chincoteague Island last week on his blog. Which also means she’s hogging all my computer time….jeesh!

So while I patiently (or not so patiently depending on how you look at it) wait my turn on the computer – you can head on over to Minnow’s blog to check out all the fun I missed when they went to Chincoteague. And don’t forget, there is one more day to enter my giveaway for a FREE Scratch Art Painting! It just might be your lucky day!

Super Dog and Super Fort

Posted on July 28, 2011 by Ammo

I’ve been hanging out in my Super Fort all week while my mom and Minnow are in Chincoteague. And yesterday I finally got to talk to my mom on the phone, and she said Minnow has been working very hard performing at the Pony Centre all week. She even e-mailed me this picture of Minnow being all…..Super!

Apparently he’s been drinking a lot of this:

And after I hung up with mom and headed back to my Super Fort, I realized something was missing.

My SUPER CAPE!

Yeah, we all know who’s going to win go fish today!

P.S. Mom, if you are reading this – it was Minnow II and Ammo II that unrolled all the toilet paper in the bathroom….I swear I told them not to!

Super Fort!

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Ammo

Remember when I told you yesterday that my pal Minnow and my Mom left me all week to go have fun on Chincoteague Island without me? And remember how sad I was? Well, I decided to make the most of my time alone all week at home – and I did what anyone in my situation would do……I built a fort in the basement!

ammo the dachshund's super fort!

Welcome, to my Super Fort!

The Super Fort is quite awesome, and I even brought along a soda for later.

I was really having a good time in my Super Fort, but then I started to miss my Mom and Minnow again. That’s where Minnow II comes in.

Minnow II looks just like the real Minnow! And the best part is that he doesn’t even slobber on me when he gives me kisses!

The real Minnow – see, almost as good as the real thing!

Anyway, Minnow II said he’d play cards with me – on account of I was all lonely at home.

ammo the dachshund's super fort!

Oh, and to my left is Ammo II – I decided it’s always best to have Dachshund’s outnumber ponies when you are playing cards.

I might have lost the card game and thrown a little temper tantrum. But in my defense, I think Minnow II cheated.

Those crafty ponies and their go fish cheating ways!

Have some Cake and eat it Too!

ammo the dachshund's nose

This is my nose, it’s super good at smelling things.

And it’s because of my nose that I ended up in the ponies’ paddock the other day.

Ammo the dachshund birthday cake

Now I know what you’re thinking……it’s not a real Birthday cake. Yes, I was a little disappointed too, but my nose didn’t bring me here because I smelled Birthday cake.

Ammo the dachshund birthday cake

No, I smelled something different, something better.

It’s called poly-fill! And just because it’s not a real cake, doesn’t mean it’s any less fun to ~~eat~~ destroy.

Seriously, I don’t know what I’d do without my nose!

This is Annie and her Dad. I met Annie on Sunday at the 4 Dogs Tavern while I was there grabbing some dinner with my mom and dad. Now normally I consider myself a pretty tough guy, but Annie, well she’s even tougher.

See this is Annie’s motorcycle! She has a special seat in the back and has her very own pink helmet and goggles. I was too embarrassed to tell Annie that I have a helmet too – except I use mine to play Super Heroes.

Not too cool when you’re trying to pick up chicks – well unless she’s a damsel in distress, but that’s another story.

Well Annie, I hope we meet again, because you’re one hot motorcycle mama!

P.S. I ordered the bacon for dinner.

My New Bone

Posted on July 18, 2011 by Ammo

Yes, over the weekend my mom brought me home a brand new bone! I can’t even begin to tell you how long it’s been since I’ve had a bone. I think mom’s starting to feel guilty about leaving me home next week when she takes Minnow to Chincoteague Island for the annual Pony Penning. I’m not going to say the new bone makes up for this, because it doesn’t, but it is a good start.

ammo the dachshund bone

Of course the first thing I did with my new bone was to try to take it outside for a good old fashioned burying. However, there was a little snag in my plan.

Sigh. I’m thinking things would have gone a lot smoother had I gotten out my Super Cape.

Friday Fetch: Scott Lifshutz Pillows

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Ammo

west elm dog pillows I don’t know about you, but at my house, the couch is mine! I like to watch my shows on there in the evening, there seems to me no shortage of warm laps to share, and it’s where I snuggle up in blankets for the night. So I figure since it’s MINE, I should probably get to decorate it however I like. That’s why I picked out these fun pet pillows for today’s Friday Fetch.

As part of an exclusive collaboration with west elm, noted pet portraitist Scott Lifshutz created a series of new paintings, including a happy pack of four-legged friends, a hound, and a horse, which are printed in artful watercolor-style silhouette on cotton pillow covers using a special technique to capture and preserve all of the painterly details and nuances of Scott’s originals.

He also designed a series of fun appetizer plates featuring some furry four-legged friends. You can check them out here.

You can fetch Scott’s designs at West Elm for $19 – $29

Summer on the Farm

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Ammo

Today I thought I’d share a few images from my evening on the farm – shot yesterday. Everyday is an adventure, and there is no shortage of things to do on the farm in the Summer. Arguably it’s not your average farm, especially when it’s run by a bunch of Super Heroes with an active imagination. You’re never to old to play dress-up, catch bugs, or in my case – build underground forts. I don’t plan on ever growing up. How about you?
