Throwback Thursday: Snow Bunny

Posted on by

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

My Canine Kids Perfect Fit Dog Harness & Fleece Review & Giveaway

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m always super excited when I get to test out clothing, since being a dachshund means that your body type is not the norm – and it can be quite difficult to find harnesses, jackets, sweaters and coats that accommodate my long body but short legs. Needless to say, I’m quite excited to share with you the Precision Fit Harness and a Precision Fit Sport Fleece from my pals at My Canine Kids.

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Since summer has officially decided to head on out of Eastern Pennsylvania, I have found myself in need of a jacket on the farm for my early morning farm chores.

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Precision Fit Line from My Canine Kids is quite unique in that it is designed to be fully adjustable. As in your clothes and harnesses can grow with you should you perhaps pack on a few extra pounds (not that I condone that) or are a puppy going through a growth spurt, or perhaps you just have an odd dachshund shaped body that can be hard to fit.

The front of the Fleece velcros in two points so that you can easily make it snugger or looser.

And the belly strap has an extra long piece of velcro to fit lots of different sized bellies. And the My Canine Kids line isn’t just for small dogs, they make their products in a variety of sizes to fit big and small dogs and every body type in between.

The Precision Fit Sport Fleece even comes with an handy hole to attach a leash through, although I do wish it was a bit further back so it could reach my harness.

I also got to test out the Precision Fit Step in Harness in blue.

Mom says it totally makes me look like a body builder! Hey, I’ll take that!

Some key features about the Precision Fit Harness:

  • Harness sizing has 5 sizes covering dogs from 4 – 50 lbs
  • Military quality velcro for strength
  • Double dring leash closure
  • Mesh harness has reflective trim for night visibility
  • Core nylon harness is made in NYC

And because the top and sides are fully adjustable, it can make fitting your growing puppy or hard to fit dog a snap! I typically prefer harnesses that don’t go between my front legs, but I did notice that My Canine Kids also makes an adjustable vest style harness that is most similar to the kind I prefer to wear.

Dog Friendly Storage Space

Posted on by

My mom and dad have been on a mission this year to redo our kitchen (they’ve been saving their pennies for years and years), so in order to move ahead with operation new kitchen we’ve recently had to do a little re-organizing around the house. One of the first areas to tackle has apparently been my stuff!

Dog Friendly Storage Space // Ammo the Dachshund

I have a few designated areas around my house where most of my gear (coats, harnesses, collars, leashes, etc) collect, one of them being this little nook in the dining room.

Dog Friendly Storage Space // Ammo the Dachshund

As well as this closet in the kitchen which holds a lot of my gear as well as dog food, treats, and other stuff.

Dog Friendly Storage Space // Ammo the Dachshund

As you can see my little closet has become quite cluttered! Mom told me that I would need to clean it out completely as well, because it was going to become the new home for our pantry (once it’s gutted, painted, and redone). Of course I was very concerned about where all my stuff (especially the cookies) were going to end up!

Dog Friendly Storage Space // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom said not to worry, she had a plan, and off she went to Target to pick me up this handy organizing shelf on sale for $40.

She then relocated my treats and dog food to a cabinet in the kitchen and I was left with the task of re-organizing all the rest of my gear!

Dog Friendly Storage Space // Ammo the Dachshund

The end result was this super pretty (and super organized) pet-friendly storage to house all of my gear just inside the backdoor of my house.

Dog Friendly Storage Space // Ammo the Dachshund

With a little help from my mom I sorted everything so it’s much easier to find!

With the bulk of the storage housing my coats, fleeces and jackets (one can never have too many articles of clothing), I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

So what do you think of my new pet friendly storage? How do you organize all of your dog’s gear around the house? Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: Remote Control Chase Toys for Dogs

Posted on by

Ok this one is for all the guys out there (my dad included)! Check out these super awesome remote control pet toys from Go Go Dog Pals.

Each remote control dog toy is outfitted with long range operation (up to 350 Feet) and variable speed control (up to 25 MPH). The outer shell shape and material is designed so dogs cannot grasp and puncture it. The Pal’s purpose-built sturdy chassis is engineered to operate on most surfaces and land upright when flipped. Sounds like a super fun chase toy if you ask me!

Attack of the Killer Toad

When Toads Attack // Ammo the Dachshund

A couple weeks ago this toad came out of nowhere on the farm. He snarled and lunged right for me! I’m pretty sure he thought having a tasty bite of wiener dog for dinner would hit the spot! Don’t worry, I foiled his dinner plans….

…boy was that a close one! Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t worry, no toads were harmed in the making of this video. Top image via.

2013 Chincoteague Pony Penning

Posted on by

So, as most of you know my mom left me home last week while she went on a fantastical adventure with two of my favorite ponies, Minnow and Boomerang, to Chincoteague Island for the 88th Annual Pony Penning.

They got to do amazing things like check out the wild pony round-up, swim, and auction – and they even got to perform all week at the Chincoteague Pony Centre.

My mom took some amazing pictures, so even though I wasn’t there – her photos make me feel like I was! You can check them all out HERE.

But I was most excited to hear about how my ponies did in their big performances, especially Boomerang who did an amazing job on his very FIRST debut – I’m pretty sure everyone was super impressed with the bean bag sitting skills that I taught him.

Even my special pony Minnow did an amazing job painting some beautiful pictures that were auctioned off after each show – with part of the money going to help local animal rescue groups!

The ponies will have their own recap of all their adventures on their blog soon!

And while you may think I just spent my week at home like this:

I actually had quite a few adventures of my own at home with dad! But those will have to wait for another post!

But you can check out all the fun my ponies had on their facebook page, and soon on their blog. Ammo the Dachshund
