Vintage Wrestlers for Halloween

Posted on November 2, 2019 by Ammo

Happy Halloween!

Technically I may be a few days late, but my costume this year was just too much fun not to share with everyone. It’s also been quite some time since I’ve actually published a new blog post (sorry!), but I’ve been just having such a blast with so many adventures over the past few years that it’s been hard to keep up. But if you really want to make sure you haven’t missed a thing, be sure to follow along with me on Facebook & Instagram.

Now I give you my 2019 Family Halloween Costume……

We decided to go all out with a group theme this year channeling our inner 80s/90s wrestlers with Jake the Snake, Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan. I of course was the famous Rowdy Roddy Piper!

Completely handmade by my mom and dad, this year’s costume was just too much fun. Sparked by my littlest sister’s awesome bleach blonde mullet, she was just too perfect for the part of Hulk Hogan. I’m not quite sure how we will top this one for next year!

Happy Halloween! Keep on Wrestling!

Adventures in Candyland

Posted on October 31, 2017 by Ammo

Halloween has always been sort of a big deal at my house. My parents have helped me hand-make many elaborate costumes over the years and we always throw an elaborate party at my house. This year was no exception. So without further ado, I give you my 2017 Halloween costume…

Adventures in Candyland / Ammo the Dachshund

King Candy from Candyland!

Adventures in Candyland / Ammo the Dachshund

All mom had to say was that I get to wear a crown and carry a cool scepter and I was on board.

Adventures in Candyland / Ammo the Dachshund

But Candyland isn’t quite as fun without someone to help you rule the land.

Adventures in Candyland / Ammo the Dachshund

So Princess Lolly made an appearance as well!

Adventures in Candyland / Ammo the Dachshund

Princess Lolly was minus her crown (because to no ones surprise she hated how it messed up her hair), but she did come bearing candy (aka dog cookies).

Adventures in Candyland / Ammo the Dachshund

We had a blast making our way to the Candy Kingdom.

Adventures in Candyland / Ammo the Dachshund

Until someone ran out of “candy” and suddenly neither of us cared who got to the castle first.

Adventures in Candyland / Ammo the Dachshund

But the adventure along the way was the best part anyway.

Happy Halloweenie Friends! Enjoy your “candy”!

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Posted on October 31, 2016 by Ammo

Disclaimer: I was given a product from Chewy in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!!

I bet you’re wondering why I’m dressed like a lobster today instead of in my super cool Team Zissou costume. Well there is a very good reason.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

See even though it’s Halloween I can’t go trick or treating, mostly because candy is apparently not good for us dogs. Which is totally unfair if you ask me.

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

So instead I’ll be staying home tonight and handing out my own treats, these fun Boo Bars from Chewy.com

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

Boo Bars made by Blue Buffalo are:

Oven-baked for a mouth-watering taste of pumpkin & cinnamon, and made with wholesome grains, fruits and veggies
Jam-packed with omegas and antioxidants for a healthy skin and coat and strong immune system
Made with no chicken/poultry by-product meals, just real ingredients
Don’t have any corn, wheat or soy, so it’s great for pups with food allergies
Contain no artificial preservatives, colors or flavors, just natural dog treats enhanced with added vitamins

And according to me, they taste delicious!

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween

So now back to why I have this lobster costume one. See these treats tasted so good that I was worried all the little ghosts and goblins were going to gobble them up tonight. So to make sure there is plenty leftover for me I wore this lobster costume with scary CLAWS that can pinch anyone that tries to take all the cookies! Smart thinking right?

Nobody better try and steal my cookies! Just in case your dog feels the same way about their Halloween treats, you can grab them their own at Chewy.com.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Ammo’s Aquatic Halloween

Posted on October 28, 2016 by Ammo

Well, Halloween is almost here, so it’s finally time for me to reveal my 2016 Costume. Each year I try to come up with something homemade, and a little different. Last year I was Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy, as I love to draw inspiration from some of my favorite movies. This year was no different.

Team Zissou Dog Halloween Costume Life Aquatic

Now if you don’t recognize this year’s costume then you must not have seen the movie Life Aquatic*. Here’s a brief synopsis:

“INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS OCENAOGRAPHER STEVE ZISSOU & HIS CREW SET SAIL ON AN EXPEDITION TO HUNT DOWN THE MYSTERIOUS, ELUSIVE – POSSIBLY NONEXISTENT – JAGUAR SHARK THAT KILLED ZISSOU’S PARTNER DURING THE DOCUMENTARY FILMING OF THEIR LATEST ADVENTURE.”

Adventure, well I’m in! Of course I was going to need a team though….

Team Zissou Dog Halloween Costume Life Aquatic

Good thing my family was totally ready to join Team Zissou!

Team Zissou Dog Halloween Costume Life Aquatic

So if you haven’t caught the movie* yet, do!

From my team to yours, Happy Halloween!
