12 Days of Cheer! Ammo’s Holiday Card

Hooray! My 2014 Holiday Card has made it’s way to my online shop along with all my other designs from years past.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

This year I decided to do my own rendition of the classic Christmas song, Jingle Bells.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

Why don’t you sing along with me,

Dashing through the snow
In a one-dog wooden sled
O’er the fields we go
Barking all the way
Bells on collars ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and bark
At all the neighbors tonight!

Happy Holidays!

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

Now I’m sure you probably think I’m a total pro behind the camera (which yea, I sort of am), but it actually takes me quite a few tries to get that one perfect shot for my holiday card every year. And as I’m sure every super model has outtakes just like me, I thought it would be fun to share a few of mine….

And lets just say there is dozens more where that came from. So as you can see creating my spectacularly cheery holiday card each year is no easy task – it’s an art I tell you! An art that I’m still perfecting even after 6 years of “modeling”.

So if you’d like to shop my spectacular awesome holiday card you can check it out in my online shop – it comes in singles and 8 card sets for all your happy mail sending needs! Ammo the Dachshund

Olga’s 90th Birthday

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

For the second time this year I was invited to a very special lady’s 90th Birthday Party!

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

My dear friend Olga is one of my favorite customers at my shop, and without fail she always brings me a bag of cookies (and lots of sweet kisses) every time she visits.

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

So I was so very excited when I was invited to Olga’s Surprise 90th Birthday Party with all of her friends and family.

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

Now one thing to know about my friend Olga is that she’s one of the biggest dog (and pony) lovers there ever was. And over the years she has accumulated a lot of furry friends – including my pal Minnow who she met at one of his very first public appearances ever!

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

So as you can imagine there were a lot of 4 legged attendees at Olga’s party.

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

Olga even had her pony friend Rainy come to visit her!

Olga's 90th Birthday Party // Ammo the Dachshund

Now really, a birthday party with dogs AND ponies…..best birthday party ever in my book!

A very Happy Birthday to my dear friend Olga! I wish you many many more, and next year I think we should invite even more ponies to your party! Ammo the Dachshund

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Mimi Green.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my new friends at Mimi Green sent me one of their Laser Engraved Buckle Collars to test out.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With a hole slew of collar patterns, colors, and styles I almost couldn’t decide which one I would like to wear. That is until I spotted this lovely velvet teal color (aka the Zack Collar) and I just knew it would be perfect!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Laser Engraved buckle is a plastic/metal hybrid which is great for dogs of all sizes, but especially smaller breeds because it makes the collar weigh less than a full metal buckle.

And if you’re someone that can’t stand the sound of jingle jangle id tags as your dog runs around the house, you can always forgo them if you like since your dog’s identification is right on the collar!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

While a velvet collar is probably not optimal on the farm (as it may collect a little too much “farm”), I just couldn’t help but take my new Mimi Green Collar for a fun farm photoshoot.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The pretty teal color just popped out there! And their velvet collars also come in lots of other fun colors.

You can totally see me on the cover of Vogue can’t you!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Hagen.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends at Hagen recently sent me a fun package of goodies to try, and oh boy, I bet you can imagine my excitement when these showed up at my door!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

First up we had these natural treats from the Zoe and Hagen Heritage line.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Next up we had the Tasty Bones in a Peppermint Dental Bone (on the left) and Venison Gourmet Edible Bone (on the right).

The Dental bone is made of a tough nylon and flavoring and is designed to help clean teeth while your pet chews on it. I haven’t gone to town on the Dental bone just yet, but mom says from the look and feel of it it will likely hold up to my tough choppers.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As you can see I made a b-line for Gourmet Edible Tasty Bone.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Gourmet range of edible bones comes in a variety of flavors and is made of starch based biopolymer, food grade coloring, and synthetic flavoring. Hagen claims that it is perfectly safe for your pet to ingest small fragments that will pass through your dog’s system harmlessly.

I think the key word here might be small fragments.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Seeing as how I’m what mom labels a “tough chewer” (seriously I can devour even the toughest of toys in mere minutes), I started to break off some fairly large chunks of the edible bone rather quickly.

Mom was worried I might choke on some of the bigger pieces I was breaking off, so I think this bone may be better suited for a dog that isn’t as strong a chewer as I am. But I guess my enthusiasm for the bone proved how yummy it tasted!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But there was a toy in my Hagen goodies that was definitely going to hold up to some rougher play, the Zeus Bomber!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Bomber Key Features:

  • Hollow air chamber allows the ball to float and can be pressurized with air for extra bounce
  • 100% natural rubber handles withstand substantial pulling force
  • Reinforced polyester layer maintains shape and structure after each and every bounce
  • Natural rubber outer shell supports strength and bounce

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Zeus Bomber comes in two sizes, Medium (7″) and Small (4.5″) and as you can see the one I received was the larger size.

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Since the medium was just a bit too heavy for me to play with Mom said we should gift it to my bestie Trooper. And let me tell you, Trooper LOVED IT! He could of played with that thing for hours!

Hagen Pet Products Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Although once I caught wind that we would be gifting it to Trooper mom caught me running around the house with it from room to room – trying to prove that it wasn’t in fact too large for me to play with! Perhaps I’ll have to ask for the small size for Christmas! *wink*

You can check out all these products and more at Hagen.
