Birthday Week! Ammo the Dachshund's 6th Birthday

In celebration of my upcoming 6th Birthday my mom made me a lovely video to look back over my past year of adventures. So if you’ve got 11 minutes to spare, make sure you check out the video below to relieve all the happy memories from my past year on this earth!

Watch this video on youtube.

Looking at all of my adventures in video form makes me so grateful that I get to share all of my fun with you! Thanks so much for checking in on my blog, leaving me nice comments, and making a dog feel extra special. I can’t wait for year #6 and for all of life’s adventures ahead. I hope you’ll continue to join me for all the fun! Ammo the Dachshund

Throwback Thursday: Snow Bunny

Living in Pennsylvania I’ve been through my fair share of winter storms. But one of the first BIG ones I encountered was in 2010 when it snowed so much that I could barely get through it.

Oh who am I kidding, even when it snows just a little I can barely get through it with my short legs! But that doesn’t stop me from having a grand time!

Only time will tell if this winter will bring any record snowfalls! Just incase I’ve stocked up on snowsuits! Ammo the Dachshund

Throwback Thursday: Wrestling Cats and Dogs

cricket and ammo

My pal Cricket and I have been friends for a very long time. Cricket it is one of those very special cats that is very tolerant of EVERYTHING. In fact, dare I say she’s more like a dog than a cat?

Case in point, when I was just a pup Cricket used to wrestle with me…..and being the sweetheart that she is, she let me win too…

Love ya Cricket, thanks for teaching me how to wrestle! Ammo the Dachshund

Bringing the Beach Home

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Last week some farm machinery showed up on the farm, and along with it came some sand!

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Word on the street was that the ponies were getting sand footing for their arena.

In translation…..HOLY COW I WAS GETTING A BEACH!

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I were quite intrigued by our newly found farm beach (as we dubbed it).

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

You may already know just how much I absolutely love the beach, especially running across it bay watch style.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

And the fact that I can now run on the beach and also hunt groundhogs at the SAME PLACE……seriously I think I’m in heaven.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Once the arena farm beach was officially finished Trooper and I got to be the first ones to test it out.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

And seeing as how it’s a pretty big arena farm beach, we both agreed that we should share our new sand with the ponies too.

Blitz and Boomerang seem to be just as thrilled with the new farm addition. Boomer even took a celebratory bay watch run just like me….

So what fun things do you think I should do in my new farm beach? Ammo the Dachshund

Throwback Thursday: Puppy Trooper

puppy ammo the dachshund and trooper

Ever since I was 8 weeks old my buddy Trooper has been the dog I looked up to. He came to the shop with me everyday, where he was in charge of “training” me for the first year or so of my life. I like to think that I got my sassiness from Trooper himself, and I’m pretty sure these videos of a young puppy Trooper (before I knew him) hanging out at the shop totally prove my point!

P.S. Isn’t it amazing how much lighter Trooper’s coat was when he was a puppy? Now everyone just thinks he’s really old with his mostly black coat with bits of gray. (he’s only 7) Ammo the Dachshund

End of Summer Adventures

Summer is quickly coming to an end (how sad), and although there is lots to look forward to in the fall I’m still going to miss all the summertime fun. So I’ve been packing in as much excitement as I can!

End of Summer Adventures // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve been spending time with my favorite pony, Minnow, while he munches on the last bits of summer grass.

End of Summer Adventures // Ammo the Dachshund

That Minnow is always trying to hog the camera with his cheesy smiles!

End of Summer Adventures // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m also squeezing in trips to the hardware store – to help mom and dad finish up all our summer projects around the house.

I’m also taking as many trips to the lake with mom and dad that I can. Pretty soon it’ll be much to chilly on the water for me!

End of Summer Adventures // Ammo the Dachshund

Mostly I’m just enjoying the warmth…..all before I have to break out my cool weather wardrobe!

What are you going to miss about the summer once it’s gone? Ammo the Dachshund

Adventures at Ludwigs

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the Labor Day Weekend me and my best pony pal Minnow, the Painting Pony, attended the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show.

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

Our goal, to make as many people smile as we could!

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

My pal Minnow is pretty good at helping us draw a crowd, I mean just look at his super model pose!

And when he starts to paint everyone can’t help but to be captivated!

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

Myself included, as I love watching Minnow create his special works of art.

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

Minnow painted several works of art throughout the day which should be available on his website very soon.

Finally it was my turn to perform, and I showed off some of my expert hoop jumping skills.

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

I even made it through the flaming hoop of death…..unharmed!

I also shared a few of my circus stunts like rolling my barrel….

….and playing dead!

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

And for my final heroic stunt, I dove head first though a solid hoop (don’t worry, I wore my helmet for safety!)

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

After our first performance of the day a nasty thunderstorm rolled through. Minnow went to wait out the storm on the horse trailer while I hunkered down in our tent.

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

Eventually the sun came back out for just long enough for Minnow to create a few more paintings, even if the crowds had died down pretty drastically!

By the end of the day I was pretty beat! But I’m pretty sure Minnow and I accomplished our goal to make everyone smile! Ammo the Dachshund
