Happy Birthday AMMO!

Yes it is Ammo's birthday today:)  He is 4 years old!  We bought Ammo from a private breeder and brought him home when he was just 7 weeks old...he is a purebred chocolate lab....and anybody that knows him knows that he is a BIG boy.  We tried to kennel train him right away, but in the middle of the night he would cry so loud...it sounded like a real baby crying!  and ofcorse we had him in our bedroom, so i broke down that first week (first night) and put him in our bed...he would snuggle inbetween our pillows and pass out no problem.  This is where his spoiledness began:)  We put Ammo into puppy training school...he graduated with flying colours...we were on our way to having a perfectly trained dog:)  We than put him into regular dog training classes...and he graduated that, so we decided to put him into the advanced dog training classes...I was pregnant with Parks at this point...Ammo was almost 1 and was becoming a bit lazy with the training, when he was suppose to run to Matt, he would walk lazily as if to say, "i'm too good for this class".  He graduated but we knew we'd have to stay on him if he were to stay well trained.  Once Parks was born we slacked off and made Ammo the amazingly stubborn dog that he is today!  He is a great dog and we love him very much...he just has some issues:)lol  seperation anxiety, addiction to garbage and he's deffinately NOT kennel trained.  He IS amazing with our kids and any other kids in general...he wouldn't hurt a fly.  and that is his best quality.  He is always so happy when we come home or if he's out on a walk especially a run.  He always has his leash in his mouth as if to say, "I'm walking you".  He is the hugest lab I have ever seen for sure! and that is what makes him so special (and lazy).  We love you Ammo...nobody's perfect:) Here are some pics of Ammo over the past 4 years...

Ammo pulling the toilet paper out all the way from the bathroom...his fav thing to do when he was a puppy...

The things you do to your dog before you have kids:)

Matt was so proud getting Ammo to lie down in the water

When we lived at Greenview we would bring Ammo out for a walk everynight...it was a great spot to let him run loose

Being such a good boy

We love you Ammo!
