The Night’s Watch

The Night's Watch // Ammo the Dachshund

Being a farm dog means your guard dog duties never end.

The Night's Watch // Ammo the Dachshund

Even as darkness begins to fall Trooper always takes his watch dog post with pride.

The Night's Watch // Ammo the Dachshund

Although the job is always a little more bearable with friends, so I’m always ready to join him for the Night’s Watch.

The Night's Watch // Ammo the Dachshund

“Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.“

Well, it’s a good thing Trooper and I are already neutered!

Dog Walking Light Belt Review & Giveaway

Posted on May 5, 2015 by Ammo

Disclosure: This post and giveaway is brought to you by GoMotion. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think my readers will love!

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at GoMotion recently sent me their LiteBelt 100 to take for a spin. The LiteBelt 100 is a wearable light that can make walking your dog at night bright again!

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

Sadly it was a bit too large for me. But not to worry, mom informed me that it would actually work a lot better if she wore it on our evening walks.

The 100 Lumen Cree LED light on the front offers 3 adjustable light levels for spot to flood beam control. You can even rotate it to angle it up or down.

One of the nifty features of the LiteBelt is that not only does it have a spotlight on the front, but it also has these handy rear lights that can make you more visible at night to cars.

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

The great thing about using one of these LiteBelts instead of a headlamp or flashlight is that it comes with lots of extra storage for all your dog walking essentials (like poop bags, keys, phone, treats, etc) and gives you your hands free (for doing things like picking up dog poop…..how fun!).

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

The belt itself comes in a breathable mesh with reflective trim and not only comes in the Hi-Vis Orange, but also a fun Coastal Blue color. And it’s even water resistant, so you can’t use that as an excuse not to walk your dog in the rain!

The LiteBelt runs on AA batteries (that are included) and even has a battery life indicator on the front to warn you if it’s running low. It runs up to 54 hours when used on the low beam setting.

GoMotion LiteBelt 100 Review & Giveaway // Dog Walking Light // Ammo the Dachshund

Overall I thought the LiteBelt from GoMotion would be a great accessory for anyone that walks their dog at night.

You can fetch the LiteBelt 100 (as well as other wearable lighting options) from GoMotion for $59.95 and as a bonus you can save 20% off with code GMEVENT20

You might remember my gal pal Shilah the Husky. You might also remember that back in October Shilah and I had a little photoshoot in the park with our Glowdoggie Led Collars. Well Shilah and I are back again to share these great collars with you – and we also have a super fun giveaway too!

Battery operated, waterproof and durable, Shilah and I wear our collars whenever we are out in the dark.

Making dogs visible to cars on walks and making it easy to find your pet at night in their own backyard, I can’t say enough good things about these collars.

Mom always keeps one in our car for me, because you never know when you might need it! Another great thing about these collars is that there is no need for charging them, or plugging them in, or even flipping on a switch. You simply hang the collars upright (like on a doorknob) for them to turn off and they immediately light up when you put them on your dogs neck.

So if you’re looking for something sparkly and fun for your pup’s stocking this year I highly recommend stuffing it with a Glowdoggie! You won’t regret it!

Bump in the Night

Posted on October 29, 2013 by Ammo

With Halloween just around the corner, things have gotten quite spooky around my house. Over the weekend my mom and dad held their annual Halloween party, and while you’ll still have to wait just a bit longer to see my homemade costume for this year, I couldn’t help but get into the spooky spirit!

Bump in the Night // Happy Halloween // Ammo the Dachshund

Pretty scary right?

Bump in the Night // Happy Halloween // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom told me that all the ghouls and ghosts come out at night to haunt little puppies who do naughty things during the day.

I might just start hiding under the covers now! Eek!

My New Yellow Glowdoggie Collar

Posted on January 22, 2013 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Glowdoggie.

My pals over at Glowdoggie (Hi Leila and Harriet!) recently sent me a new ~~lightsaber~~ led glow collar to take for a whirl.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m no stranger to the super awesome LED collars that Glowdoggie sells, in fact I currently own the red, blue, and green mini collars. So I was really excited to test out their new Yellow Mini Collar.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

I use my Glowdoggie collars ALL THE TIME, especially on the farm. I also wear one every time I go out in my backyard at night or for a walk in the evening.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom says they keep me safe and make it easier for her to know exactly where I am. I admit I like to wander a bit when I’m at the farm.

Glowdoggie LED Glow Collar for Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

These collars are super bright (the photos don’t do it justice) and I’m so glad to have a product that makes it so mom feels safe enough to let me explore the farm on my own in the dark.

Here are some great features about this product:

100% waterproof, not just water-resistant (I’ve worn mine in the water, through the mud, and down groundhog holes with no problems)
2 year warranty, but they last considerably longer (I’ve had some of mine for 3+ years and they are still going strong)
K-9 Search & Rescue tested and approved
Extremely robust, durable construction
Superflux-LEDs with over 150,000 hours shine-life
Superior visibility at night or in low-light situations (I’m visible all night long on the farm)
Intelligent battery-management technology for long battery life (Mom changes the batteries on mine about once a year!)
Automatically turns on&off thanks to patented motion sensor chip (by simply holding the collar upside down the light will turn off, I store mine on the doorknob by the backdoor for easy use)
Perfect for North America’s often extreme weather conditions

I can’t say enough good things about Glowdoggie, it really is one of those products I just can’t live without!

Product Review: SafetyGlo Harness for Dogs from Chewy.com

Posted on December 18, 2012 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by Chewy.

When my friends over at Chewy.com, formally known as Mr. Chewy (they dropped the formality because we’re all friends here), contacted me about the new SafetyGlo products they are carrying on their site – I just knew I had to take them for a whirl.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

The SafetyGlo products are the only ones on the market that are solar and usb chargeable. They emit a glowing light that is visible from over 500 yards away.

Perfect for keeping your pet safe on late night walks, visible at night in the back yard, and if you’re like me….on the family farm.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

But before I could take the SafetyGlo harness for a spin, I had to charge it up! The easily detachable charging unit comes with a small USB cable that can be plugged into your computer for charging. Alternatively you can leave it to charge out in the sun – or simply place it on your dog while they are outside during the day and let the sun do it’s magic.

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

Once charged, the SafetyGlo unit easily snaps & velcros to the back of the harness.

There is also a handy on and off switch on the charger – so during the day you can switch it off.

And at night you can let it Glo!

Safetyglo Harness Product Review from Chewy.com via Ammo the Dachshund

Of course the true test is always the farm dog test….so I harnessed up and prepared to romp around the farm in my new SafetyGlo Harness.

Farmdog approved!

I’m wearing the medium SafetyGlo Harness, which fits me snuggly like a glove – it seems the sizes might run a little small, so when ordering maybe order a size up if you are unsure.

You can fetch your own SafteyGlo Products from $5.99 – $24.99 at Chewy.com!

Evening Hunt

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Ammo

Ammo the Dachshund // Evening Hunting on the Farm

One of my FAVORITE things to do on the farm is to hunt. You have not lived until you get to go out in search of critters.

Ammo the Dachshund // Evening Hunting on the Farm

You can always tell when I’m on the hunt because my tail will stand straight up.

Ammo the Dachshund // Evening Hunting on the Farm

I typically set out in search of critters just as the sun is beginning to set. Mom makes me wear my Glowdoggie collar on my evening hunts because she says I wander too far sometimes and she can’t find me in the dark without it. I’m fairly certain the neighbors think our farm is possessed by aliens that come out at night with glowing lights and scuttle through the pastures.

Ammo the Dachshund // Evening Hunting on the Farm

And I’m not planning to tell them otherwise.

Sitting on the Bench

Posted on August 23, 2012 by Ammo

Yesterday mom and I snuck out a bit early from work and headed out to the farm. I love spending time on the farm, but because of my recent injury I can’t do all the fun stuff I normally enjoy. Sigh.

So instead of tagging along with Mom and Blitz and Boomer when they trailered out to ride in the Laurels Preserve I had to wait at the farm in the tack room until they came back.

Lucky for me my pal Trooper stayed to keep me company. He looks thrilled doesn’t he?

We ended up getting to play on the farm late into the wee hours of the night, which is always a treat.

So late in fact that when darkness settled around us we broke out our Glowdoggie LED Collars.

However, I was quite disappointed when mom told me that Trooper and I couldn’t play lightsabers on account of my boo boo. Sigh. How much longer do I have to sit on the bench?

Glow-tastic!

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Ammo

When nasty Hurricane Irene came blowing through my town a few weeks ago it was lights out at my house for a little while. And when I posted a picture of me playing board games in the dark on my facebook page, my pals over at Glowdoggie decided to help a pal out!

So, when my Glowdoggie LED collar arrived a few weeks later, I did what any dog with a super cool new waterproof led light-up safety collar would do….

…Fashion Show!

Sorry, I know, that was kinda girly of me – so to redeem myself I made sure to also take some photos in my rough and tumble lifestyle. (aka the farm). And just because I enjoy a good fashion show doesn’t make me any less of a farm dog!
