Going Executive

Disclaimer: This product review is sponsored by Noodle and Friends.

Most of you already know that I work a 9-5 just like the rest of the working world at my mom’s frame shop in town. And as the official shop greeter and an expert sales associate I like to dress the part as well. So when my friends over at Noodle and Friends sent me one of their Executive coats I knew it was just the thing to wear during the work day.

Noodle and Friends Executive Coat Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s made of 100% wool exterior (which I must say is one of the softest coats I own) and is lined with classic black microfleece for extra warmth.

Noodle and Friends Executive Coat Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

The Executive Dachshund Coat was designed for dachshunds, providing the perfect length to cover our long bodies while also protecting our broad chests and tummies. I love that all the Noodle and Friends coats come with a built in d-ring making it unnecessary to wear a harness underneath – although if you choose to you still can with the built-in harness hole.

This coat is even reversible, the second side is finished with classic black microfleece and accented with a grey wool waist belt. Although I think the grey side is my favorite!

You may have seen me wearing my new Executive coat out and about already, as I’ve been wearing it to work at the shop most days.

It also makes me look extra adorable when I need to beg for a few extra cookies if you know what I mean!

Despite the Executive coat’s extra good looks, it’s also quite hardy too. Snow storms are no problem as it keeps me nice and dry underneath!

You can fetch your own Executive Coat from Noodle and Friends for $65.

Visiting at the Nursing Home

Ammo the Dachshund Visits the Nursing Home

Over the weekend I took a little trip to a special nursing home, St. Martha Manor.

Ammo the Dachshund Visits the Nursing Home

I wore my fanciest outfit, which everyone said made me look oh-so-dapper!

I didn’t get many pictures of my visit as I was quite busy visiting some special people! But I’m pretty sure everyone had a great time, myself included!

And next time I’m going to have to bring a booster seat, because I missed out on quite a bit of fun once bingo started!Ammo the Dachshund

Bugsy’s Box Review & Giveaway

A couple months ago I received a package in the mail from the monthly subscription service Bugsy’s Box to test out.

VetraCare Liquid Bandage – VetraCare Ear Wipes – Healthy Dogma Treats – Pupato Chips

Mom thought it was neat that the box came with some veterinary care items, as it’s always nice to have things like that on hand just incase of an emergency. (Paws crossed we never actually need to use it though). Some of the products I had come across before, while others were new to me, but all of them seemed to be healthy and appropriate items for me. All of the items are also made in the USA or Canada.

Friday Fetch: An Island for your Dog

Wouldn’t it be cool to have your own personal island? Well now your pet can, sort of. See Scout Sleep has created pet islands. They are meant to be used on your beloved chair or sofa to help protect your little buddy’s favorite spot. They may also be used on the floor. Great for small dogs and cats, I’m pretty sure my mom and dad would appreciate me napping on one of these instead of the white sofa!

Throwback Thursday: Tail Chasing

I’ve always been quite good at entertaining myself, even when I was a young pup I found many ways to amuse myself while working long hours at the shop with mom.

And when you don’t have a toy on hand, there’s always a built in one on your own back end!

I was about 6 months old in this video, and to this day I still like chasing my tail sometimes!

Does your dog chase his tail?

I’m being watched

Do you ever get the feeling like you are being watched?

I feel like that a lot actually. It’s like no matter what way I turn there is someone looking over my shoulder.

Oh I should of known! My gal Cricket is always tailing me!

That’s ok though, she’s a pretty sweet tail to have! Ammo the Dachshund

Clear Conscience Pet Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My friends over at  Clear Conscience Pet recently sent over some of their Sliders for me to try out. Their Sliders line of tender meat features all-natural and wholesome ingredients like USDA inspected chicken and beef along with natural cheddar cheese, organic flaxseed and air dried vegetables.

They contain no grain, gluten, glycerin, artificial preservatives or flavoring and no GMO ingredients.

I’m not entirely sure what all that means, but I do know that the package smelled so delish that I could hardly wait to break it open!

The 4oz bag of chicken and cheddar Sliders came in these bite-sized pieces that were perfect to use as training treats as they were easy to tear. Mom even brought some along to my agility classes to use.

The individually packaged Sliders were bigger and juicier, and much better used as a special after dinner snack.

And if you’re wondering how I liked them, I’m pretty sure my eyes in this photo say it all!

Snowballs and winter fun

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Last weekend on the farm we had some lingering snow, the kind of snow that was perfect for snowballs! Trooper and I wasted no time in having a little game out of who could catch the most.

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

After a few failed attempts on my part to catch said snowballs (it would probably help if I opened my eyes when trying to catch them), it was evident that Trooper was going to come out on top with this one.

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

What can I say, my best friend is a natural!

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

You know as much as we all want to complain about the winter with all the snow and the cold, there is just something magical about running through the snow, catching snowballs, and bundling up until you can hardly move!

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Even our farm neighbor, Bella the Bernese Mountain Dog decided to stop by for some wintertime fun!

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Unfortunately despite all my winter gear, I still lack the natural winter protection that my friend Bella is so blessed with. So I was off to the car to warm up for a bit!
