Adventures at the Devon Horse Show

Devon Horse Show

Just as I have for the past 8 years, I took a trip to the Devon Horse Show at the end of May. Only this year I got to bring along my sister too! I guess technically she got to go last year as well (inside mom’s tummy), but I feel like when you can’t actually see the ponies – it doesn’t really count!

Devon Horse Show

While I always love sniffing new smells and seeing all the pretty ponies, sometimes Devon can get a little overwhelming for a small dog such as myself. It can get VERY crowded, especially in the evenings – and even on Grand Prix night (when the horses jump super super big fences for the chance to win big big money). Usually mom would end up carrying me around (all 20lbs of me!) when things got a little crazy, but this year we had a different option!

Devon Horse Show

Rewind to a few weeks before the Devon Horse Show, and mom decided that I needed to learn how to ride in the bottom of my sister’s stroller!

Devon Horse Show

So armed with my current favorite treats, these Vanilla Flavored Bully Slices from Redbarn Products, mom made me a comfy spot in the stroller so I could practice riding in it.

Devon Horse Show

Arguably it’s not my favorite place to be, but since these Bully Slices require some intense chewing effort on my part I was able to relax enough that mom could push me around the driveway.

Made with natural beef these chews are a natural source of protein and antioxidants too. I enjoy snacking on them everywhere, from work to home, and even on my adventures.

Devon Horse Show

So how did I fair at the Devon Horse Show when the crowds got bigger? Well the first struggle was convincing my sister that my training chews were for me and not her!

Devon Horse Show

While I did ride around in the bottom of the stroller for a little bit, I still have some work to do to be extra comfortable in there. But it’s a start!

I much preferred to chew my bully slices under a shady tree at Devon anyway!

You can snag your pup some Bully Slices from Redbarn Products they even come in some really fun flavors like French Toast, Peanut Butter, and Vanilla. And be sure to check out my full review on their products too!

Hopefully by this time next year I’ll be a real pro at riding under that stroller!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 10

Posted on by

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

It’s happened again. My little sidekick turned a whole month older! And a whole lot has changed in just one month.

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Baby P suddenly doesn’t seem so “baby” anymore. She now waves hello and goodbye to me, can give me high-fives, and even claps when I do something extra goofy. (which is like all the time apparently).

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

But the biggest change….Baby P is now WALKING! Yes, that’s right. Just a few days shy of turning 10 months she got those first few steps in. And can you guess what she was walking to? That’s right, me! (I’ll have to share the video later….although my camera crew missed the very first ones…shame on them!)

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Baby P’s favorite thing though….if you haven’t already guessed….dogs! She loves to “bark” woof woof excitedly whenever she sees a dog (or me), or even a picture of a dog. We should have expected nothing less, because I’m the coolest dog there is and it’s no wonder she thinks she’s a dog too!

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Now that she’s getting increasingly mobile I definitely have to watch my back…

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

..because her big bear hugs….

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

….and kisses seem to come out of nowhere!

Not to worry though, mom and dad are always right there yelling “gentle” the entire time. Hopefully soon she will get the hang of “closed mouth kisses” and “pinch-less hugs” so I won’t have to be on guard so much. At least I know she means well!

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

I have a feeling by next month I’ll have my backyard running playmate that I’ve been waiting for! I can’t wait!

So for everyone that wagered a guess last month as to when Baby P would start walking, it was June 5th!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

When Jealousy Strikes

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

When I suddenly found myself this summer the big brother to a tiny little human, I never imagined all the cool stuff that would come with her. Like this play yard for instance. I mean just look how cool it is with all the dangling dog toys and colorful shapes.

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

It was so cool in fact that my mom kept finding me inside it, mostly when my sister wasn’t occupying it, but occasionally I just couldn’t resist jumping in to play with her too.

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

Mom said as cute as it was that I wanted to share in my sisters playtime that it wasn’t really a good idea. Because even though I try my hardest to be gentle, I do have pointy nails, and a tail, and sometimes I don’t always look before I leap. (guilty as charged)

While this is all very true I admit, how was it fair that I didn’t get to play in her little pen with all the fun toys?

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

I guess I shouldn’t have worried too much, because did you know there is such a thing as a Portable Pet Pen?

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet PenCarlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

That’s right, inside this bag is my very own personal play pen!

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet PenCarlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

It popped open in seconds (you can check out a video of it in action), and I knew my sister was going to be so jealous when she saw what I got, but sorry sister, this pen is only for me!

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet PenCarlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

It even had a built in doggie door just for little dogs my size!

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet PenCarlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

Mom filled my pen with some of my favorite toys at the shop so when she can’t keep an eye on me I could safely play inside my pen.

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet PenCarlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

Now my sister and I both have our own special containment areas to keep us safe. Mom doesn’t have to worry about me jumping on the baby accidentally when she’s busy working, and I don’t have to worry about my little sister trying to steal all my toys! Because lets face it, I’m way more spoiled than her in the toy department.

Carlson Pet Products Portable Pet PenCarlson Pet Products Portable Pet Pen

The best part though is we can still see each other through the breathable and see-through mesh walls, so I can still fulfill my big brother duties by keeping an eye on little sis.

You can snag one of these awesome Portable Pet Pens from Carlson Pet Products for 10% off and FREE SHIPPING with code PETPEN10

Mom says these pens would also be great for puppies, taking pets on vacation, and even dogs that show and compete as they can be used outdoors as well!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog’s Fun Snow Day

Posted on by

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

When winter storm Jonas hit my area on Friday night I was ready for it! Although when I awoke the next day in the midst of the storm, I wasn’t quite prepared for having to make a trek to find a spot to pee!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Good thing mom was on hand to help me trek through the Blizzard in search of a spot!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Although, I may have gotten a bit distracted as to the purpose of this excursion! I spent most of the day on Saturday curled up inside waiting for the winds and snow to die down so I could actually go outside and play.

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

By Sunday the storm had ended, and we were left with 26+ inches of glorious snow and I was ready to go outside and play!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Dad thoughtfully shoveled me a potty area in the backyard, but as you know, I like to blaze my own trail!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

I know there is a lot of dogs out there that don’t like the cold, wet snow to touch their paws, but I’m not one of them! I love to explore in the snow, and mom and dad end up having to make me come inside because I’ll stay out there until I’m shivering.

Check out the fun video below of me enjoying my snow day….

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

Eventually I had to help dad clear the driveway, as were were pretty much snowed in at that point.

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

It’s a good thing I’m not very good at holding a shovel, because clearing the driveway was hard work!

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

By mid-day Dad had cleared just enough that we could get out for a walk.

Winter Storm Jonas & A Dog's Fun Snowday

So I took the opportunity to visit the neighborhood kids who were having a blast “attempting” to sled in the deep snow.

Stay tuned on Friday for the continuation of my snow day adventures, where I got to play with my ponies on the farm!
