Friday Fetch: Pet Pillows

Posted on by

After spotting a DIY Pet Pillow on one of my favorite blogs, Yellow Brick Home, a few months ago – I figured there had to be a pet pillow out there for the non-diyers out there. Well as luck would have it, I stumbled across a custom silkscreened pet pillow from Broderpress on Etsy.

You get to submit a photo of your pet, which then gets turned into a custom pillow. Can’t you just picture my sofa filled with a ba-zillion stuffed pillows of the cutest little doxie ever….me!

For the Love of the Hunt

Posted on by

Did you ever just love something so much that it didn’t matter how ridiculous or how embarrassing it made you look – you loved it just the same? Sometimes it just doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks – you just gotta be you!

Me, I’m overly enthusiastic when it comes to hunting my groundhogs on the farm – something that nobody seems to understand, not even my best friend Trooper.

At the end of the day though, hunting groundhogs is what I love to do – no matter how silly I look doing it! So go ahead, be you today!

Custom Pet Paintings – Ponies and Dogs Oh My!

Posted on by

You might remember a couple of months ago when I introduced my little Super Hero on the Wall – a commissioned painting of yours truly by Kim at Yellow Brick Home.

Well, as it turns out, my Painting Pony pals were a wee bit jealous – so never ones to be left out, mom ordered some custom paintings of them too.

Minnow rocked the blue canvas as he reared high into the air – such a classic Minnow pose.

Blitz and Boomerang, the inseparable brothers (who couldn’t even be separated for the painting), looked extra cute on their lime green canvas. Boomerang even flashed his famous smile.

I don’t know about you, but I think we make one big happy family!

I do have a secret to tell you though…….as much as I love ALL of the paintings…..I do have a favorite……can you guess which one it is? Ammo the Dachshund

*I was not paid or perk’d to write this post – I’m just super super excited to share the ponies’ paintings!

I Am A Therapy Dog

Posted on by

You may remember that last month I took my canine good citizen and therapy dog test….and PASSED!

Ammo the Dachshund - Certified Therapy Dog

Well just last week a package from Therapy Dog International came in the mail for me! I was so excited to see that now that all the paperwork is complete, I am an official certified therapy dog.

Not only did I get my own id card (complete with a photo of me), but I also got some super cool gear to wear during my therapy dog visits.

The bandana and id tag seem to be made for dogs much bigger than me, but I’m pretty sure what I can’t make up for in size, I can certainly make up for in personality.

I am a Therapy Dog – and proud of it! Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat – The Return of Super Ammo

Posted on by

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. On tuesday I went to outer space, wednesday I went under the sea, thursday I went to Dinosaur Land and today I’m back on the moon as myself – Super Ammo!

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

I think out of all the places I’ve been this week the moon has been my favorite.

I love looking at the stars, and I even got to make a few wishes on the shooting ones.

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

I’m sure you can probably guess what I’ve been wising for – for my mom and Minnow to return home soon – because as much fun as I’ve been having with my imagination hat, I do still miss my real life adventures with mom and Minnow.

Dad says not to worry though, because they will be home TONIGHT!

I probably should prepare a welcome home party, or hang a banner, or bake a cake, but honestly I’m having way too much fun on the moon right now – and I’m pretty sure my wagging tail and kisses will be more than enough for a welcome home celebration! (I wag a mean tail).

I hope you all enjoyed coming along with me and my imagination hat – I had so much fun that I think I’ll definitely have to have some more adventures with it soon! Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat – Dinosaur Land

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. On tuesday I went to outer space, yesterday I went under the sea and today I’m on a journey to Dinosaur Land!

I brought my binoculars with me, because I’m really hoping to see some Dinosaurs up close and personal!

Wouldn’t it be awesome if I saw a T-Rex? Did you know my mom and dad almost named me T-Rex (which is awesome by the way) on account of my stubby little arms.

I’m just as scary as a T-Rex too…just check out my ferocious growl! So don’t worry, should I happen upon any Dinosaurs I can totally hold my own! Ammo the Dachshund

 

Imagination Hat – Trip to Outer Space

Posted on by

Since Mom is away this week in Chincoteaugue, Virginia with Minnow the Painting Pony I’m having my own little adventure with my imagination hat.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat - Outerspace

I’m glad you decided to join me, because today I’m taking a trip into outer space!

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat - Outerspace

There are so many stars and planets up here – it’s really quite amazing.

Mom called last night to check on me, and suggested I pack a lunch and drink plenty of water during my trip to space. Jeeze mom, of course I wouldn’t forget to pack a lunch!

I do miss my mom, but I am having a blast on the moon! I’m on the lookout for moon martians, because I’m in desperate need of a fetch playmate – it is a bit lonely up here. I’ll keep you posted should I find any. Ammo the Dachshund

Imagination Hat

Posted on by

Today is the day that mom and my pal Minnow the Painting Pony left for Chincoteague Island, Virginia for a week. I’m very sad not to be going on this adventure with them – as it’s been an entire year since I’ve been away from my mom for more than a day.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

Last year when Mom and Minnow left for pony penning week I killed the time by building a super awesome fort in my basement.

This year I decided to try a little something different – since just because I’m stuck home alone all day while Dad is at work doesn’t mean I can’t still go on some adventures of my own.

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

Enter my imagination hat! Hand-made by my pal Baxter’s Mom, I just know my imagination hat is going to take me on tons of adventures this week. (you can fetch your own imagination hat here)

Ammo the Dachshund - Imagination Hat

I hope you’ll come along with me for the ride, because imagination adventures are always more fun when you have friends.

Hopefully by the time Minnow returns from pony penning I’ll have just as many adventures to share with him as he does with me! Ammo the Dachshund

Product Review: Outward Hound Life Vest for Dogs

Posted on by

You might remember that a couple of weeks ago mom purchased me a life vest from amazon just in time for my paddleboarding adventure.

Seeing as how some of my fans may be in the market for a life vest as well I thought I’d give you all a little rundown of how I’m liking it so far.

Product – Kyjen Outward Hound Life Jacket

Features:

  • Convenient top grab handle for easy resuce by hand or boat hook
  • Front float assists in keeping dog’s head above water

Pros:

  • Definitely helps keep me afloat much better
  • Handle makes it easy for mom or dad to rescue me out of the water
  • Front float helps keep my head above the water – which is a bonus because I hate getting water in my ears
  • It’s comfortable to wear
  • Bright color makes it easy to spot me floating in the water
  • Budget friendly price

Cons:

  • Sizes run smaller then the chart online – so a small is a bit too small for me and I probably should have ordered the medium. So when in doubt choose the next size up
  • Doesn’t have a d-ring attachment for a leash

Overall I’m very happy with my new vest, I definitely feel safer and enjoy swimming a lot more, I just wish I had gotten the medium so it fits me a little better.

You can fetch your own doggie life vest from amazon for about $20 Ammo the Dachshund

I was not paid or perked to write this review, product was fully purchased (thanks mom) – links do connect to my affiliate amazon shop.
