Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Last week my monthly Barkbox subscription arrived. It’s always exciting to peek inside that little cardboard box each month to see what special goodies have arrived.

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Each month Barkbox sends some dog-gone great products featured around a certain theme, this month the theme was date night. Inside my box was a Sushi Pups toy, a Loopies cigar toy, Complete Natural Nutrition Cheese popcorn (which was safe for human consumption too), an Etta Says chew, and Max & Ruffy’s blueberry treats.

After I checked out what was in the box I realized Barkbox had it all wrong…..it wasn’t a date night box…..it was a dude’s night box!

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

So I invited all my dudes over to partake in my Barkbox fun. Ok well technically Cricket the cat isn’t a dude, but she’s so cool she’s practically one of the guys.

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Minnow the pony and I wasted no time in digging into our Barkbox goodies.

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Minnow went after the Loopies cigar, while I zeroed in on the Etta Says chew!

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Just a couple of dudes chewing on things!

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

While Minnow enjoyed playing with my cigar toy, I’m sure he was wondering when they are going to come out with a Ponybox, because dog cookies weren’t exactly the treat he was hoping for. That’s ok, there’s more for me!

Date Night with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

My Dudes Night with Barkbox was a total success! I even had to check to make sure Cricket wasn’t taking home seconds!

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

My January Barkbox subscription is here! You guys, let me tell you, I could hardly contain myself when that goodness arrived at my doorstep this month.

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

So I did what any other dog would do, I ripped that sucker open and grabbed the first thing I smelled!

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

This month’s Barkbox was packed with some delicious goodies as per usual.

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

We had the Loving Pets Barksters – crunchy sweet potato & beef crisps, a Harry Barker Tug n’ Toss rope toy, a Barkworthies Junior Bully Stick Chew (which I devoured right out of the box), and Think! Dog Alligator Jerky. Yes, I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever had actual alligator…..but I’m looking forward to trying it. I hear they are great for dogs with allergies to more common proteins like beef or chicken.

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

And lastly we’ve got the Wigzi! A dishwasher safe, recyclable, made in the USA toy that floats…..now if I could just get my dad to stop playing with it too!

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

So as you can see, for a box filled with all that dog-gone goodness…..it never stood a chance!

You can fetch your own BarkBox starting at $19 a month. It’s the perfect thing to gift your pup this Valentines Day! Save $5 on your BarkBox subscription if you use code AMMO5!

Friday Fetch with BarkBox // Ammo the Dachshund

Their belly rub t-shirt was so comfy that I almost stole it for myself.

But then I felt bad that mom never gets any goodies in the mail, so I decided to let her have the t-shirt. Plus the tote bag was a little more my size anyway! *wink*

My Bags are Packed // Ammo the Dachshund

Last year for Thanksgiving I headed south to North Carolina to visit family. My road trip was so much fun that I’ve decided it was time for another adventure this Thanksgiving. So today I’m on my way (with Trooper too) to Charleston, South Carolina for a couple of days of fun with my family!

I’m sure my days will be filled with lots of adventure, I’m especially looking forward to playing on the beach with Trooper! Don’t worry, when I return I’ll be sure to fill you in on all the fun I’ve had, but in the meantime I’ll be sure to post pictures of my road trip on Facebook and Instagram as I travel.

And if anyone knows any fun dog-friendly adventures in and around the Charleston, South Carolina area post them in the comments section!

I’ve meticulously packed my bag with everything I might need for my trip. You can check out what I typically pack for a road-trip, and I always make sure to store the phone numbers for emergency vets in mom’s phone as well as bringing along my DIY Pet First Aid Kit.

I was also super excited when just in time for my trip my November Barkbox showed up at my door.

Barkbox Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Barkbox.

I had heard great things about Barkbox, a monthly subscription plan of goodies for your furry friend, and I was super excited when they offered to send me a box.

Last month I received my very first Barkbox delivery, and since it was the month of October, mom was determined to get a photo of me in my Halloween costume with my box of goodies.

Barkbox Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Only when I got a sniff of all the glorious things inside my October Barkbox, I just couldn’t be bothered to sit pretty in my Ninja Turtle costume for photos. So I ripped off that mask and dove right in!

Barkbox Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Barkbox is one of those companies that I can really get behind, because not only do they provide a great product, but they also donate 10% of their proceeds to dogs in need.

Barkbox Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With subscription plans starting as low as $19 a month, there is something for every budget!

Barkbox Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

For such a small box I was surprised at how much they were able to fit in there! And I can’t help but think these would make the perfect gifts for all your dog loving friends this Christmas.

Barkbox Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I loved the pack of shareable Halloween treats, which I even shared with a few of my doggie friends. And the Mutt Meatballs look like a blast (all you have to do is add a pound of ground beef to the mix and cook).

Barkbox Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course I wasted no time showing my new toy how we do things in my house.

Barkbox Monthly Subscription
Nylabone Dog Chew
Igloo Dog Bed from Mungo & Maud
Turquoise Flexi Lead from Chewy.com (which I only plan to use when I go to the lake and want to go swimming & mom and dad don’t. Otherwise I believe using standard leashes are a much safer option!)
