Kayaking Adventure

Kayaking Adventure // Ammo the Dachshund // Marshcreek Lake

Over the weekend it got hot hot hot, and instead of just laying around the house panting I decided to go to the lake!

I’m no stranger to the Marshcreek Lake, in fact I took my first paddleboarding adventure out there just last year.

This time though I decided to take to the lake via kayak!

The wind in my ears was just what I needed to cool off on a hot summer day.

Product Review: Fromm Treats from Chewy.com

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Chewy.

Lately I’ve been reviewing my fair share of pet treats, and I started to wonder if the Universe was trying to tell me something like, “Eat your heart out Ammo!”. But then I received this package of Low Fat dog treats made by Fromm from my pals at Chewy.com, and I realized the Universe was instead saying “Eat your heart out Ammo, but make sure it’s low fat so you don’t get fat!” Good idea Universe.

These Fromm Cranberry Liver Treats are made from Fresh Wisconsin cranberries and liver with a touch of garlic.

These crunchy treats were just my size, and the perfect thing to take with me on the dog agility course. And with only one calorie per treat, I don’t have to worry about my “hot dog” dragging on the ground!

Take Your Dog to Work Day

This past Friday was Take Your Dog to Work Day, but for me it was no different than any other day, because I work most days with my mom in her custom frame shop.

But, I decided to play the part anyway and instead of my usual sunbathing by the front door I threw on my glasses and helped mom with the picture framing.

Choosing picture frames is no easy task, but it’s a good thing I have a great eye for design!

I picked out some colorful mouldings that would look super awesome on one of my Dream Big Prints.

Friday Fetch: Smart Cookie Dog Treats

One of my number one missions in life is to eat – my mom’s number one missions is to make sure I eat healthy. We may not always agree on what makes for a tasty snack (horse manure on the farm comes to mind), but when I came across Smart Cookie Dog Treats, I knew my mom couldn’t argue!

My New Studio

Photo Studio with Ammo the Dachshund

The other day mom set up a little photo studio for me in the spare room at my house. So I figured why not give it a little whirl? What could go wrong?

Photo Studio with Ammo the Dachshund

It started off innocently enough – I’m such a natural in front of the camera that mom says it’s hard to take a bad photo of me.

But then we started busting out some props (more like whatever mom could grab in arm’s length), and I should of known right then that things would take a turn for the worse.

And before I knew it I was wearing women’s accessories!

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I recently got the chance to take the new line of KONG Premium Treats for a spin; I’m sure nearly every dog has a kong just laying around their house begging to be stuffed with yummies – I know I do!

I was excited to try this new line of treats because they boast:

  • No wheat, corn or soy
  • No artificial colors or flavors
  • No animal byproducts
  • Made in USA

I don’t know about you, but it’s so much easier to get my mom to buy me treats when they are made from stuff that’s good for me!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

First up I decided to test the Chicken Mini Meat Bites, these little nuggets looked just the right size for me.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With the first ingredient being chicken, I can attest that these soft chewy treats were oh so yummy. They’re the perfect size to use as training treats and can even can be used to stuff certain kong toys.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Next up were the Beef & Cheese Meaty Flavor Bites, which looked to be the perfect fit for a kong that I already owned.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These were just as delicious, but took me extra long to devour because they were inside my Kong – something mom claims is an extra plus, but I think it’s just a waste of time!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

For my last taste test I saved my favorite, the Chew Buddies Variety Pack, mostly because what’s not to love about these adorable cookies! They were almost too cute to eat…….but my stomach won out in that battle.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I decided to dive into the T-Rex shaped one first, mostly because I felt a kindred spirit to him since I too have short stubby arms!

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Mr. T-Rex didn’t last very long, but mom said he helped me fight plaque and tarter buildup with his crunchy body. I’m not really sure what all that means, but if it gets me more cookies then count me in.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my Kong Premium Treats taste test – but the best part is that you too can win your very own taste test!!

Friday Fetch: TreatToob

I stumbled across the TreatToob from Paww and within minutes I was drooling. This new product allows you to bring high-value treats (think peanut butter, liverwurst, even pureed food) on the go. The TreatToob is made of soft yet rugged food-grade silicone, and it dispenses virtually any squeeze-able treat.

Simply unscrew the cap and fill it with your dog’s favorite mushy treat, then flip open the hinged cap and squeeze. This is great for training as it allows you to reward your dog with something that they really love. Also it means that I can have peanut butter wherever I go!
