When Dogs run Horse Shows

On the Obstacle Course // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I found myself on an obstacle course at the family farm. Designed to test the horseback riders’ ability to navigate a scary and complex course, I was excited to see how what kind of reaction my obstacles would produce.

When it became clear that not much seemed to worry these horse and rider pairs, I tried to up the anti by enlisting the help of a few groundhogs I know. Unfortunately they weren’t home at the time.

With the competition fierce I employed one last tactic…..creating an obstacle of my own!

Our friends over at Chewy.com sent over a package of Merrick Natural Beef Liver Real Cuts Jerky Strips for me to test out recently.

These jerky strips have a VERY strong odor to them. Now if you’re a dog like me, a strong odor like this is FANTASTIC, but if you have a weak human nose, well then you might not enjoy the odor as much.

Despite the strong odor, they were soft and chewy and as far as this dog’s tastebuds are concerned, delicious.

Because of the strong smell I was able to sniff these bad boys out even after mom put them away in her bag. Lets just say I tracked them down and ate a few more than I was supposed to before mom noticed.

Best Friends // Ammo the Dachshund and Trooper

I have a best friend, and his name is Trooper.

Best Friends // Ammo the Dachshund and Trooper

He’s silly and fun, and always knows how to have a good time. Plus he’s so much fun to wrestle with!

He’s great at keeping secrets, even if I’m not so great at keeping them.

We’re different, but the same, and I couldn’t be happier to have a best friend to grow old with.

P.S. Thanks to Mattie & Margot for sending along some matching best friend collars for me and my pal Trooper! Because best friends should always look stylish together!

Friday Fetch: PetEgo DIY Picasso Bed

Posted on September 13, 2013 by Ammo

Being an artist myself I’m always on the lookout for creative pet products. So when I came across PetEgo’s line of Picasso Pet Beds I was intrigued.

The concept of decorating your pet’s bed yourself with the provided washable markers is to enhance the relationship between you and your pet. The fun of being personal designers for our pets adds a unique touch to the enjoyment of being pet owners. This looks like a great product for kids to be involved with too!

Friday Fetch: Petego Picasso Dog Bed via Ammo the Dachshund

You can fetch your own PetEgo Picasso bed for around $40 – $55.

Nipomo Imprints Review & Giveaway

Posted on September 12, 2013 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Nipomo Imprints.

Lately I had been noticing that my super hero gear was looking a bit shabby – mainly my stunt helmet and trick box.

So when I was contacted by Nipomo Imprints, who specialize in vinyl decals for vehicles, signs, laptops and home décor, I thought this might be just the thing to spruce up my super hero look.

So I sent Nipomo some of my logo designs, and they turned them into various sized decals and window clings. How fabulous!

Since Nipomo sent so many fabulous shapes and sizes of my logo, I now need your help! See I can’t decide where to put them!

Should I…

Paint the sides of my trick box and apply “Ammo the Dachshund”
Paint my entire trick box and put my large logo on the top
Paint my helmet a new solid color and put “Ammo” on the sides
Paint my helmet a new color and put “Ammo” on the front
Paint my helmet and put my logo on the front and “Ammo” on the sides
Paint my helmet and put just my logo on the front

And while you’re contemplating where I should adorn my new Nipomo decals, check out how you can win some decals of your own!

THREE Lucky WINNERS will WIN decals from Nipomo Imprints!
(one winner will receive any decal from the Nipomo Shop, one winner will win this decal, and one winner will receive this decal.)

Family Reunion

Over the weekend I snuggled into my carseat for a 2 hour drive to New Jersey for a family reunion of sorts.
