Hop Along

Hop Along - Easter Recap

Ok, so I know the last time I mentioned the Easter Bunny I gave him a really hard time for sneaking into my house at night and leaving chocolate goodies I couldn’t even eat. Not to mention I wasn’t even allowed to bite him or bark at him!

But I guess Mr. Easter Bunny heard me loud and clear, because he really tried to win me over this year.

Hop Along - Easter Recap

Not only did he bring my sister a whole bunch of fun toys (non-chocolate I might add), that I may or may not have opened for her…

…but he also brought me some fun toys too. He has good taste too, because he shops at my favorite store, The Barkshop*.

So yeah, that Bunny, I guess he’s not so bad.

I was actually a little disappointed once my basket was empty. But when one door closes, another opens.

And that door brought my Nannie & Opa (and my MomMom, PopPop, cousins, aunts and uncles too!), who also brought me presents!!

I’m one lucky dog!

My Easter fun didn’t end there though, it was time for the annual egg hunt, and since this year was my sister’s first time I had to teach her how it was done.

Hop Along - Easter Recap

She actually didn’t do too poorly, but it’s probably because she had a pretty awesome teacher.

Well, that about sums up my Easter, and as you can see Baby P and I are now totally on team Easter Bunny!

But, just FYI Bunny, Baby P and I won’t hesitate to use stink faces on you should you bring us icky presents next year. 😉

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

When Easter rolled around I could hardly wait to see what was in my basket this year.

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

My best pal Trooper came over to help me open it (and the Easter bunny had brought him a few treats too).

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

But, Trooper still doesn’t quite get the concept of opening presents, so he let me do all the work.

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

After all the unwrapping was done Trooper and I picked out our favorite toys from the bunch.

My favorite is this Thinker Maze* from the the Barkshop (that bunny certainly knows the best places to shop!).

Before long it was time for all my family to arrive at my house for Easter dinner, which included my newest little cousin whom I’m absolutely in love with! He’s already loving my wet doggy kisses!

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

Next up was the easter egg hunt! And while I had fun watching all my older cousins hunt for their eggs, I have to admit I was a little jealous.

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

They got so many goodies in those eggs too…including monies!

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

But guess what! My cousins decided to hide some dog friendly easter eggs around the yard specifically for me and Trooper to find!

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

Although poor Trooper didn’t quite grasp the concept, and the poor guy wandered around with a confused look on his face most of the time.

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

That’s ok though, because I had no problem collecting Trooper’s share of the eggs too!

After our egg hunt Trooper and I were pretty wiped out.

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

But don’t worry, there’s always one thing that never fails in perking me right up…..HAM!

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

Although sadly I didn’t actually get any holiday ham…despite my best sad face at dinnertime.

Easter Egg Hunts & Ham with Ammo the Dachshund

All in all I had a fantastic Easter with my family. Too bad we can’t celebrate every day!

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

When suddenly mom put this pink bunny suit on me I knew something was up (although to be fair, mom does like to dress me up on a regular basis).

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

But this time, this time was different, because it’s almost EASTER! And since I already had my very own bunny suit from Martha Stewart Pets®, I figured I might as well put it to good use. What better way to use a pink bunny suit than to BE the Easter Bunny…I mean how hard can it really be?

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

So I hopped on over to Petsmart® and filled a basket full of Easter goodies from the Martha Stewart Pets Spring Line.

Then I did what any other dog dressed as a bunny would do….I scarfed some carrots (you know, for fuel and all)……

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

….and dove head first into my Easter basket filled of goodies!

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

Just as I was getting into the swing of things with my new toys, mom reminded me that the real Easter Bunny wouldn’t keep all the toys for himself. Instead he would share them with all the other good little dogs out there.

Gulp. She was right. What had I become?

The Easter Bunny Came

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

As you know Easter was this past Sunday. It’s one of my favorite holidays – as holidays that involve a bunny always make the top of my list! Alas though, when I woke up Sunday morning it seems I had just missed Mr. Bunny.

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

But don’t worry, because the very special BarkBox Bunny never seems to miss my house, and this year was no exception. Check out the fun video of me diving into my Easter Basket:

That Barkbox Bunny knows just what kind of goodies I love!

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

After opening my basket I packed up and headed over to my mom-mom’s house where I was put in charge of hiding the easter eggs for all of my cousins (on account of I’m very good at finding hiding spots – mostly of the hole variety!).

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

That’s right, they’ll never find this one!

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

My cousins are pretty good at finding easter eggs, but I couldn’t let them have all the fun!

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

Too bad all the eggs I found had jelly beans in them….yuck!

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

After the egg hunt it was time for dinner. Unfortunately my family forgot to set a place for me at the table! Can you believe it! Don’t worry though, I found the perfect spot to look pathetic and got handed plenty of little nibbles.

Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

And after I was nice and stuffed one of my cousins volunteered to take me for a walk. I burned off all those calories in a matter of minutes hunting for more easter bunnies!

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

As with every spring’s arrival I am always anxiously awaiting the visit from a special bunny to my house!

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

This year was special because I got a visit from the Barkbox Bunny! While I was sleeping on Easter Eve the Barkbox bunny delivered my monthly box of goodies so that I would have something to open on Easter morning!

Mom made me wait until my cousins and Trooper came over on Easter to open it, and I happily shared all my treats with the ones I love.

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

My April Barkbox was filled with lots of goodies fit for an outdoor adventure. How did they know that I love adventures!?

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

I went to town right away gnawing in my Barkworthies bully stick (one of my favorites).

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

I also enjoyed the Mr. Barksmith’s frozen carrot cake smoothie. Those bunnies are so sweet to share their carrots with me!

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

The Quaker Pet Group toy provided hours of entertainment for me on Easter morning and Trooper and I had fun racing around the backyard with it.

My Barkbox also contained a package of Etta Says duck treats and some Complete Natural Nutrition grain-free campfire treats. Can you say yum!

While I hear the “Barkbox Bunny” is on vacation until next Spring, you can still fetch your pet a Barkbox subscription and save 10% off with code AMMO5 and as a bonus this month Barkbox is donating $1 – $5 from every subscription sold to an animal rescue in need!

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

After my own easter basket fun it was time to help my human cousins go on their egg hunt.

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

Unfortunately I had to stay on my leash because mom said I would find all the eggs before my cousins got a chance to.

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

Now what fun is an easter egg hunt if you don’t let the dog with the best sniffer do all the hunting?

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t worry, I still shouted out clues as to where to find them! Those kids would be lost without me!

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

After a good easter meal with family I retired to the basement where I let my cousins dress me up. Apparently they thought it was extra fashionable to wear super hero undies and a buret.

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

Although I’m not quite sure it was as fashionable as they thought after I got all those snickers from Trooper. (maybe he’s just jealous!)

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

I had quite the fabulous Easter and as you can imagine I slept very very well that night.

How did your pup celebrate the Easter holiday?

My Trip to PetValu

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

Last weekend I took my very first trip to PetValu. Have you ever been to a PetValu? If not, you are in for a treat.

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

Upon entering I could immediately tell that this place was just a little bit different from the big box pet stores like Petsmart and Petco.

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

This store was filled with fun items that I hadn’t seen at the pet stores I usually frequent.

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

I was immediately drawn to the display of Jonathan Adler merchandise – I loved his fun colorful patterns.

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

Mom was so close to bringing home this new leash for me (probably for the packaging alone) but Dad thought it was a bit too colorful for a boy (I can rock pink better than any girl!).

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

I had a blast wandering around the store sniffing out all the goodies. Many of their products were healthy and all natural, and they had a much wider selection of the “good for you” treats than most of the pet shops I’ve been in.

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

Oh and they had cats, lots and lots of cats! Mom heard they were rescue cats that are up for adoption, and I had fun playing “find the kitty” all over the store.

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

Can you find the Kitty?

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu

Not only did PetValu have cats scattered all over the shop, but they also had a shop bunny that was dog friendly. I REALLY wanted to see how friendly he was, but Mom wouldn’t let me get too close, probably because of my bunny killing record in the backyard.

Ammo the Dachshund visits PetValu - nylabone

My trip to Petvalu had me coming home with two fun products. A Nylabone Durachew (which I love) and a bag of Get Naked Antioxidant Dental Chew Treats.

I had a great time at PetValu, and I’m sure I will be visiting again real soon.

Most of the PetValu stores are located in Canada and along the East Coast of the US, but you can click here to find one nearest to you. Ammo the Dachshund

 

I was not paid or perked to write about PetValu, I just thought everyone would enjoy taking a trip inside the pet store with me! 

My Easter Weekend

Did you hear? My disguise worked, and the Easter Bunny visited my house on Sunday!

Mr. Easter Bunny brought me a basket full of goodies to open on Easter Morning.

I had fun playing with all my cousins and even my bestest pal Trooper came over.

It was a wonderful Easter weekend, and it was great to spend time with my friends and family. I hope everyone had as nice a time as I did – and hopefully Mr. Easter Bunny left you lots of goodies too!

Easter Bunny Disguise

Last year I had to improvise with my Easter Bunny Disguise so that Mr. Bunny himself wouldn’t skip over my house (on account of all the backyard bunny chasing I had been doing).

Fast forward a year later, and despite my best efforts, I still can’t stop chasing those bunnies in the back yard….it’s just way too fun. So I decided to get official with my bunny disguise this year.

ammo the dachshund easter bunny outfit

Much better right?

I’ve even been practicing my bunny nose wiggle.

There – it wiggled, did you see it?

I’m pretty certain there is NO WAY Mr. Easter Bunny can skip my house now, on account of I fit right into the “Family”.Â
