I bet you didn’t know I LOVE party balloons. Well it’s true, I thoroughly enjoy channeling my inner attack dog and going after that sucker until it pops! Just see for yourself…
Does your dog love or loathe balloons?

U+ Naturals Dog Paw Butter Review & Giveaway
Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by U+ Naturals, and all opinions are my own. I only share products I think you and your dogs will love.
**Update** It appears that this company is unfortunately no longer in business.
A few weeks ago my new friends over at U+ Naturals sent me some of their Dog Paw Butter to test out.
Just like humans, us dogs get dry and cracked paws too, especially during the harsh winter. My paws were certainly no exception as they take quite a beating on the farm.
Luckily I now have a secret weapon to fight off those dry paws! The U+ Naturals Dog Paw Butter is made with food-grade ingredients and is certified organic by the FDA.
What’s inside:
- Organic shea butter
- Organic coconut oil
- Organic beeswax
- Organic olive oil
- Hemp seed oil
- Vitamin E
So over the last few weeks I started applying the Paw Butter to my paws at night. The handy chap-stick style dispenser made it easy to put on, and the only challenge my mom found was keeping me from licking it off!
But the good news is that the ingredients are safe enough that they won’t harm me if I do get a lick or two. My Mom found wrapping me up in a blanket afterwards while I waited for my paws to dry helped deter me from licking it off.
And you know what, after using it for a little while my paws were already starting to look and feel a lot softer!
U+ Naturals not only makes Dog Paw Butter, but they also sell lotions and bath melts for humans too. So if you want to pick up something fun for you or your dog from U+ Naturals you can use code tinyammo to save 20% off your order!
And now for the best part….
TWO LUCKY WINNERS WILL WIN A BUTTER SET FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG!
*one dog paw butter, on 8oz Body Butter (for humans) in the scent of your choice, and one set of bath butter rose petal melts (for humans)

Spring Bark and Where I’m Headed Next
I’ve got some exciting news! Recently I found out that I’m a finalist in the BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Awards for the Best Dog Blog & Best Pet Blog Photo.
It’s enough to make me feel like a celebrity!
What makes the Nose-to-Nose awards a little different is that this is the only pet industry awards on which pet bloggers and micro-bloggers are judged on the expertise, performance, and creativity of their blog. Each category is judged by a distinguished panel of professionals, and not by popular vote. So don’t worry I won’t be begging for votes (not that I’ve ever been a fan of that anyway), now begging for cookies, that’s another story!
Oh gosh, I can just feel the love!
The best part is that winners will be revealed in an exclusive red carpet ceremony at the BlogPaws Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee at the end of May.
I’m already excitedly making some plans so I can hopefully take a week-long road trip to attend the event. Which is great news for you too, because that means when I get back from my trip I’ll have a whole SLEW of adventures to share with you! You know, like where the best trees to pee on in Tennessee are, and what kind of squirrels they have in Virginia….the important stuff.
So if you know of any great dog friendly spots that I can stop and see on my road trip in a couple of months let me know in the comments below! I can’t wait!
AND THAT’S NOT ALL….
Details below are brought to you by Barkbox and contain affiliate links. But don’t worry, all opinions are entirely my own and I wouldn’t be telling you about Barkbox if I didn’t love them as much as I do!
If that weren’t enough good news…..I’ve got even more! Barkbox is having a Spring Bark Celebration this month with some extra goodies just for you! Woohoo #SpringBark2015
Use code AMMO5 on any new Barkbox subscription from now until March 15th and you’ll receive 1 FREE MONTH + get an additional month FREE FOR A FRIEND! (Because Spring Bark is more fun with friends!).
And let me tell you, a subscription to Barkbox is enough to give your pup a total #springbarkhangover!
I’ll catch you all later after I recover from my Barkbox hangover!
The Dachshund Life Struggle Continues
You may have caught my post last month on the saga that is the Dachshund Life Struggle. And if you follow along with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, then likely you may have already seen many of the Dachshund Life Struggles.
Being a Dachshund is so-dang-hard that you didn’t think it would end right there now did you? No, the struggle continues – and something tells me there are even more to come!
P.S. This one required a video to go along with it, and you can check that out on my youtube channel.
In case you missed last month’s struggles, be sure to check them all out on my blog. You can keep following along with me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to see more #dachshundlifestruggle and if you’ve got a struggle to add be sure to let me know!
P.S. Don’t forget to share my struggles with all your friends…..we have to spread the word about how hard it is to be a dachshund these days!
Rejeneril Review & Giveaway – Helping Dogs Live Longer Healthier Lives
Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by My Ultimate Pet & Rejeneril.
The sad truth is that all us pets get older. But the good news is there are supplements out there to help your pet live a longer, healthier life.
Rejeneril is one such supplement that is clinically proven and veterinarian recommended to boost your dog’s natural energy and reduce joint pain.
With multiple benefits to your dog’s health, including:
- Improving health and longevity
- Helping build a strong immune system
- Setting the foundation for a disease-free life
- Preventing and clearing skin problems
- Treating dry, itchy skin
- Reducing arthritis and joint pain
- And many more!
Studies and clinical use have proven that Rejeneril® is highly effective, fast-acting, completely safe, and non-toxic.
As much as I love to think that I’ll be this nimble and quick for years and years to come, it’s nice to know that there are products out there that will get me back to feeling like a pup again when I’m a bit older.
Since I’m a little too young to need a supplement like Rejeneril myself I did not actually test out this product (I’ve already got more than enough energy to go around according to my mom!) But you can check out these honest reviews from some real life pups who did:
The general consensus from all these dogs was that it really works – improved skin and with a little more pep in their step, these dogs seemed to really benefit from taking Renjeneril.
Rejeneril is a supplement that you can give to your dog by placing a few drops (amount is dependent on size of dog) into your pet’s food. One small bottle can last a small dog up to 4 months. If you’d like to try Rejeneril for your pet you can fetch it from My Ultimate Pet. Use the code AMMO to get 15% off of your order of Rejeneril.
And now for the best part….
THREE LUCKY WINNERS WILL WIN A BOTTLE OF REJENERIL!

Winter on the Farm
Living in Eastern Pennsylvania, my buddy Trooper and I get our fair share of snowy weather during the winter months. But if you think that every time the sky lets out a little precipitation we hide inside the barn with our ponies, then you would be mistaken my friend!
Instead we run around the farm like crazy dogs trying to have as much fun in the white stuff before our moms call us back inside.
My pal Trooper goes a bit wild in the snow, trying to catch EVERY SINGLE SNOWFLAKE….
…and collecting EVERY SINGLE STICK before they get buried in the white stuff forever!
Sometimes I like to just watch him make a fool of himself. It’s quite entertaining.
Then things just start to get really silly.
Oh that Trooper.
Trooper’s silliness eventually rubs off on all my ponies too.
They seem to like to get their crazies out in the snow as well, running around and leaping into the air.
They even enjoy rolling around in the snow just like Trooper!
I must be missing something here, because I don’t know about you, but cold snow inside my jacket doesn’t sound that appealing to me!
Eventually my toes begin to get a little chilly, and it’s time to head back inside where it’s warm.
Don’t worry though, once we thaw out a bit we’ll be back out for more fun!
What is your dog’s favorite thing to do in the snow? Do they get all crazy about the white stuff like Trooper and my ponies?
Want to see more photos of my ponies playing in the snow? Be sure to visit their blog!
P.S. If your wondering where the jackets came from that Trooper and I are wearing… Trooper’s came from a thrift store and was likely handmade, and mine I won in a contest from the lovely pet product company, Hurtta. Underneath my outer coat I’m wearing a fleece from Ruffwear.
Ruffwear Haul Bag Review & Giveaway
Disclaimer: This post and giveaway are brought to you by Ruffwear and does contain affiliate links.
Ruffwear is one of my favorite dog brands when it comes to rough and tumble adventure gear for pets and pet lovers. So when they came out with their new collection of spring gear I was excited to get the chance to test out their new Haul Bag.
The Ruffwear Haul Bag is designed to fit all your dog’s gear no matter where they go; camping, road trips, or just visiting friends.
It’s got exterior and interior pockets for everything, so that you’re sure to keep all your dog’s essentials neat and organized.
Now my mom, she’s a self-proclaimed “bag lady” – she has bags for everything! And the Haul Bag is the perfect thing to keep us all organized for our up and coming adventures.
In fact, the Haul Bag is so roomy that it could even haul me around if need be!
But don’t worry, it also collapses into a nice, flat package for those times when you need to stow it away too.
During the summer months especially I love to keep a bag packed with all of my must have gear. I never quite know when my family and I are just going to pick-up and head out on our next big adventure.
So if you’re looking for a great bag to keep all of your pup’s gear organized (or even your own gear too if your dog will share), I highly recommend the Ruffwear Haul Bag! You can fetch the Haul Bag from Ruffwear for $79.95 with free shipping!
And now for the best part….

Friday Fetch: Bauer Pottery for Pets
There is just something about handmade pottery that is oh-so-fun. And when you pair that with pet friendly designs…..I am in love. Bauer Pottery hand makes their wares in California and their bright and sunny colors make me wish it was summer already!
You can fetch these fun designs and more from Bauer Pottery.
Disclosure: this is not a sponsored post, but I do own two of the small sized dog bowls because I love them oh-so-much.
Everyday Dog Gear
I like to think that I’m a pretty stylish dog. I love to shop, and over the years I’ve tested and tried some of the best dog products on the market. I like to think that you (my readers) agree, because one of the common questions I get in e-mails, blog comments, and social media is where did I get a particular product I am seen wearing.
So I decided to create a whole new page on my blog dedicated to all the gear that I own, have tested, and absolutely love!
So I invite you to check out my new Gear page, where I’ve compiled a list of all the gear I own and where you can grab it for your own dog too. From pet food, to winter wear, and even the photography gear my mom uses to take the photos for my blog!
So head on over and check it out, and if you’re wondering about something on the list, just shoot me an e-mail at info@ammothedachshund.com! With such an extensive list, it’s entirely possible I forgot to list something!
Happy Shopping!
P.S. If you have any special pet gear that you love too be sure to post it in the comments below, I love to hear what other pets and pet lovers are digging!
Adventures in the Snow
Woohoo! Snow!
Yeah, that may not be the typical reaction that all northerners like me have when the sky dumps a big old pile of snow in your backyard. Especially when it’s almost March and the feeling that Spring can’t come soon enough is an epidemic.
But you know what, I really do love the snow.
The dashing part is especially fun! I like to pretend I’m being chased by a pack of wild wolves, only I’m so much faster than them that there is no way they can ever catch me. Hopefully I’ll never actually have to live in that moment, but just in case I’ll keep practicing.
And for those pups out there that don’t like to “blaze their own trail” in the snow, I’ve got news for you, you better start practicing, because you never know when those wolves are going to come out of nowhere!
I’m actually such an expert at blazing trails in the snow that you can hardly tell when I need to take a break to make some yellow snow.
Those wolves will never see it coming when they slip in my icy patch of yellow snow!
Always one step ahead. *wink*
