That’s right, the Toshiba Petbook I mentioned at the beginning of this post was a clever little April Fools Day joke thought up by the funny folks at Toshiba. I thought it was just too hilarious not to share (although I secretly did wish it was real). If you click on an of the “learn more” buttons at the bottom of their page you can see their little ruse!

Happy April Fools Day! Did I fool you?

Charlie Be Good Review & Giveaway

Posted on March 3, 2014 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This product review & giveaway is sponsored by Charlie Be Good.

Charlie Be Good is one of those dog accessory companies you can’t help but fall in love with. Their adorable handmade bow ties, dog duvet covers, collar, and leashes are so fun you’re going to want them all!

A few months ago I got to test out some Charlie Be Good products myself, and as you may remember I even took one of their striped bow ties with me when I vacationed in Charleston, South Carolina.

Road Trip with Ammo - Dog Friendly Downtown Charleston, South Carolina

My Charlie Be Good bow tie was the perfect thing to wear for my southern gentleman photoshoot, and when I strutted my stuff in downtown Charleston I got so many compliments! The great thing about these bow ties is that they velcro on to any collar you already own.

Charlie Be Good Bowtie & Dog Duvet Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I also got to test out one of their tweed and turquoise duvet covers. I tossed the cover on a dog bed I already owned and immediately was in love.
