Merrick Hungry Dog Review & Giveaway with Chewy.com // Ammo the Dachshund

When my friends over at Chewy.com sent me over some of the Merrick Hungry Dog Chew Treats mom thought they might be just the thing to keep me occupied during the busy season at the shop this year.

See, as much as I hate to admit it, I’m not always the perfect little angel you might think I am at work. Shocking right?

Sometimes I pull merchandise off the shelves to get attention, or bark at big dogs outside the shop door, or even tear up a piece of cardboard or two. It’s all part of my training regime for mom, because I have her trained now to throw me something good to eat to keep me occupied until she’s done with a customer. I’m so smart.

So when Chewy.com’s Merrick Hungry Dog Chews arrived at the shop, I knew I’d be getting a few tossed my way.

This 2 lb. bag of misshapen dog chews are a great value as they include a variety of products made by Merrick that didn’t quite make the “cut” for one reason or another, but are still perfectly healthy for your pet to eat. My bag seemed to be filled with mostly beef ear chews, but I think every bag is different.

Regardless of maybe their irregular size they smelled delicious and cost a fraction of the original price.

I also read that the beef ears are great for sensitive stomachs, contain no artificial colors or flavors, and are even made right here in the USA.

2013 Chincoteague Pony Penning

Posted on July 29, 2013 by Ammo

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’s Oscar Recap

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Ammo

The stars, the lights, the cameras, and the red carpet – The Oscars was on last night – and of course I was in attendance. Ok well sort of (from my couch at least), but that’s the very best seat in the house anyway.

Just because I didn’t get to walk the actual red carpet doesn’t mean I didn’t dress the part.

I wore the always fashionable Silly Buddy Bowtie – and even had a chance to get a little primping done.

I got my hair did!

Admittedly my hair dresser isn’t quite up on the most fashionable trends, but I rocked that mullet anyway.

The oscars provided me with a full night of entertainment as I got down with all the singing & dancing.

It’s almost as if I was actually there!

I also had my eyes peeled all night for one of my celebrity pals, Crusoe (you may remember that we both dressed up as Wile E. Coyote this past year for Halloween).

Crusoe apparently won an Oscar (meyer-weiner) for Best Celebrity Dog (hello, where was my nomination?) – but since the Academy Awards went on well past my bed time I just couldn’t stay awake to see his acceptance speech.

I’m sure he just rambled off a list of thank yous that included his squeaky toys and celebrity stylists – so I gather I probably didn’t miss much. *wink*

Even though I didn’t catch an actual glimpse of Crusoe on the red carpet, I have my own speculations as to why Kristen Stewart walked the carpet with crutches (run-in with a shorter than average celebrity??? hummmm Crusoe?). We may never know for sure!

Next year I hope to be out on the red carpet myself – and I’ve already started planning my outfit! I’m thinking a neon yellow tux would really make me jump out in the crowd!

So what about you, what was your favorite part of the oscars this year?

A Sign

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Ammo

Guess what!? Mom got me my very own banner!

I’m so excited I could shout it from the rooftops!

I did what any dog with a totally awesome new banner would do, I had a photo shoot!

The “I’m so adorable you just want to squeeze me” Pose

The “My stunning good looks could kill you” Pose

The “Who me?” Pose

The “I’m kinda a big deal” Pose

The “Don’t worry, I’ll save you” Pose

The “My mama says just because I’m little doesn’t mean I can’t play too” Pose

I was pretty much feeling like the king of the World, but then I saw it….

The ponies got a new banner too……and it was like 4 times the size of mine.

The “What the heck, the ponies got a bigger banner than me” Pose!

Sigh. Talk about a total buzz kill.
