Winter on the Farm

Posted on by

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Living in Eastern Pennsylvania, my buddy Trooper and I get our fair share of snowy weather during the winter months. But if you think that every time the sky lets out a little precipitation we hide inside the barn with our ponies, then you would be mistaken my friend!

Instead we run around the farm like crazy dogs trying to have as much fun in the white stuff before our moms call us back inside.

My pal Trooper goes a bit wild in the snow, trying to catch EVERY SINGLE SNOWFLAKE….

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

…and collecting EVERY SINGLE STICK before they get buried in the white stuff forever!

Sometimes I like to just watch him make a fool of himself. It’s quite entertaining.

Then things just start to get really silly.

Oh that Trooper.

Trooper’s silliness eventually rubs off on all my ponies too.

They seem to like to get their crazies out in the snow as well, running around and leaping into the air.

They even enjoy rolling around in the snow just like Trooper!

I must be missing something here, because I don’t know about you, but cold snow inside my jacket doesn’t sound that appealing to me!

Eventually my toes begin to get a little chilly, and it’s time to head back inside where it’s warm.

Don’t worry though, once we thaw out a bit we’ll be back out for more fun! Ammo the Dachshund

What is your dog’s favorite thing to do in the snow? Do they get all crazy about the white stuff like Trooper and my ponies?

Want to see more photos of my ponies playing in the snow? Be sure to visit their blog!

P.S. If your wondering where the jackets came from that Trooper and I are wearing… Trooper’s came from a thrift store and was likely handmade, and mine I won in a contest from the lovely pet product company, Hurtta. Underneath my outer coat I’m wearing a fleece from Ruffwear.

Friday Fetch: Bauer Pottery for Pets

There is just something about handmade pottery that is oh-so-fun. And when you pair that with pet friendly designs…..I am in love. Bauer Pottery hand makes their wares in California and their bright and sunny colors make me wish it was summer already!

Adventures in the Snow

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Woohoo! Snow!

Yeah, that may not be the typical reaction that all northerners like me have when the sky dumps a big old pile of snow in your backyard. Especially when it’s almost March and the feeling that Spring can’t come soon enough is an epidemic.

But you know what, I really do love the snow.

The dashing part is especially fun! I like to pretend I’m being chased by a pack of wild wolves, only I’m so much faster than them that there is no way they can ever catch me. Hopefully I’ll never actually have to live in that moment, but just in case I’ll keep practicing.

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

And for those pups out there that don’t like to “blaze their own trail” in the snow, I’ve got news for you, you better start practicing, because you never know when those wolves are going to come out of nowhere!

I’m actually such an expert at blazing trails in the snow that you can hardly tell when I need to take a break to make some yellow snow.

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Those wolves will never see it coming when they slip in my icy patch of yellow snow!

Always one step ahead. *wink* Ammo the Dachshund

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The vintage styled T-shirts from Fuji and Friends are the kind of shirt you just love to wear. Extra soft, with that worn-in feel. Well, or so I’m told (on account of I go naked most of the time).

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But the absolute best part is all the fun (vintage style) designs they carry…..all of which feature dogs!

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Because really, if you’re going to have your humans wear a t-shirt, it might as well have a dog on it! Of course I picked out this fabulous Spirit of Adventure shirt in brown heather for my mom, as I love to live everyday of my dog life as if it were the greatest adventure of them all.

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Fuji and Friends shirts come tag-less (the greatest, most important feature according to my mom) and are made of 50% cotton and 50% polyester.

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I must admit, their spirit of adventure t-shirt made both me and my mom want to go on our next big adventure ASAP. I’m thinking dog friendly road trip!

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I only have one regret with this new t-shirt though…

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: Mann and Moon

I stumbled upon the cutest little shop on Etsy the other day, Mann and Moon. This UK based company makes original and handmade accessories for dogs and dog lovers alike. And if I know my mom, she was already pining over the cute little heart hand warmers they carry…..because walking your dog would be so much better if your hands were warm!

Throwback Thursday: That Time I got Stuck Under a Shed

Posted on by

So yeah…..there was that one time way back when that I got stuck underneath a shed in the Pocono Mountains.

Full disclosure here though, I MAY have been purposely under there in the pursuit of a rodent. And “stuck” might be a bit of a generous term when you consider the fact that I really didn’t want to come out from under the shed….I mean who else was going to get that rodent out from under there?

Don’t worry though, I eventually got “un-stuck”…..well mostly I just came out because it was time for my dinner!

Frozen Lake

Posted on by

Lake Dogs // Summer // Ammo the Dachshund

On Valentine’s Day my mom and dad surprised me and told me that we’d be taking a trip to the lake. I couldn’t wait as it’s one of my favorite spots and I was looking forward to romping in the sand!

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Only when we got to the lake and I sat on the edge of the dock and looked out over the water….things looked a little different.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Actually, it looked a lot different.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

I felt like I had been duped. I mean where was the warm water, the paddle boards, ….. where was my lake?

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

But then, mom told me that we were standing on the lake.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

I mean holy cow, there was water under there? Frozen water?

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

And sure enough, with a bit of digging I uncovered my long lost lake. Who would of thought?

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course being Valentine’s Day and all, mom and dad made me take a family photo. And did you know that almost 8 years ago my mom and dad got engaged on this lake (on a row boat)? Well now you do.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

As much as I enjoyed frozen lake, I did sort of wish it was summer, because frozen lake is a bit more “frozen” and I started to get a little cold as the sun set.

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t worry though, because I brought along my secret weapon against all things cold….my mom!

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

Yup, just the right amount of Valentine’s warmth from my mom! But next time, I think I’d much rather visit the lake on a warm, sunny day! Ammo the Dachshund

So how did you spend your Valentine’s Day?

How you can help animal rescues by walking your dog

Posted on by

What if I told you that by simply taking your dog for a daily walk you could be helping rescue animals? You’d probably say I was crazy right? Well guess what my friend, the future is here!

Earn money for rescue dogs by walking your dog // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s super simple with an app for iPhone & Android called Walk for a Dog by WoofTrax. All you have to do is download the free app, choose the rescue group you want to walk for, and start the app every time you take your dog for a walk.

Earn money for rescue dogs by walking your dog // Ammo the Dachshund

Walk for a Dog also keeps track of the distance, speed, and duration your walks are, but the best part is no matter how long or short your walk is – you can still earn money for your rescue group of choice!

Walk for a Dog’s donations to animal organizations are funded by sponsorship, advertising, and investors, and they send donations to active shelters and rescues about twice per year.

I love that no matter whether I’m on my daily walk to work……

….or off on a monstrous hike with my doggie friends, I can still be helping rescue animals at the same time.
