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.

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

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.

My Bags are Packed // Ammo the Dachshund

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.

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 pet supplement // Ammo the Dachshund

Rejeneril is one such supplement that is clinically proven and veterinarian recommended to boost your dog’s natural energy and reduce joint pain.

My Ultimate Pet - Rejeneril

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

  • Reducing arthritis and joint pain
  • And many more!

Canidae Dog Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

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.

A Day at the Beach // Ammo the Dachshund

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….

How to Make a Snow Day Even Better

Adventures in the Snow with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I love a good snow day.

There is just something so fun about running around in all that white stuff – wind in your ears, best friend by your side.

Adventures in the Snow with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Truth be told though, as much as I love romping in the snow with my best friend, things can sometimes get a bit chilly (no matter how many winter coats I have on).

Adventures in the Snow with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

But, the quickest way to cure the winter-time chills is to find a good scent to keep you distracted from your freezing behind!

Adventures in the Snow with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

And lucky for me, just the other day my newest scent trail let me to these new winter friends.

Adventures in the Snow with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Because my January Barkbox has arrived!

Adventures in the Snow with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Now honestly, the quickest way to warm up a chilly pup is with a Barkbox subscription!

Adventures in the Snow with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

Within a few seconds I quickly forgot how cold my toes were and there was only one thing on my mind…

How I Spent My Christmas

So I’m back from my mini holiday vacation, and I don’t know about you, but mine wasn’t far long enough!

And while I very much enjoyed “unplugging” for a bit, I just couldn’t wait to share with you all the adventures I had while I was gone. I have so much to share from hiking trips, to airplane rides, and adventures with friends, but before I get to all that, lets start off where I left off….Christmas Eve!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

So on Christmas Eve, after I finished working a 1/2 day at the shop with mom, it was time for a little adventure.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

First stop on my adventure, was a pit-stop at the Pretzel Factory. My only gripe, they didn’t sell dog cookies.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

But not to worry, because we arrived at my local Pet Valu just in time to do a little pre-Christmas shopping.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And guess who was doing some last minute shopping himself? That’s right, I got to whisper my Christmas list into Good Old St. Nick’s ear on Christmas Eve! And he assured me that I didn’t make the naughty list……phew!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And boy was he right, because when I awoke on Christmas morning there was a whole pile of goodies under the tree for me!

I’m pretty much an expert at present unwrapping, and I wasted no time diving right into my gifts!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

The first item to reach my wrath – my December Barkbox! And just like every other month it has arrived at my doorstep, it did not disappoint!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And if your pup is wishing it received these goodies (plus the adorable bandana you’ll see me wearing later), don’t worry, you have until January 10th to snag your pup a Barkbox for 10% off with code AMMO5

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Under my tree was also this super cool Himalayan dog chew with a Ruffhides wrap from the Barkshop.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Curses that Ruffhides wrap really slowed down my chewing, to which mom said yay! and I said aw man!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Santa must have been peeking over my shoulder when I was in Pet Valu on Christmas Eve, because he snagged me one of these mini Benebones….my favorite!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom and dad also got me one of these nifty travel bags for my dog food from Harry Barker – I can’t wait to take it along on my next camping trip!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

They also got me a package of my very favorite treats, these organic chicken treats from Plato.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Santa also brought me a couple of lounge collars in my favorite color teal, so I can keep a few in all my favorite places – the farm and the shop.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And last but not least, my friends at Chewy.com sent me these Texas Toothpicks. They are made from pure beef tail and provide both a crunchy and chewy treat that help keep teeth and gums clean. So while I’m munching away on a tasty treat – I can feel good knowing my teeth are getting sparkly clean!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

After a fun morning at home with my family I packed up and headed out to the farm.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I was so excited to spend Christmas day on the farm with my pal Trooper, especially because he FINALLY moved into his new house!

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course I couldn’t show up to my buddy’s house empty handed, I also brought along a few goodies for him too like a Ruffhides Chew toy just for him.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper needed a little help breaking it in though, so like the best friend that I am, I offered to show him how it’s done. I’m so sweet like that.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I also gifted my buddy this handmade pet id tag from Tag Me Pet Tags, which I had custom made with his name and the farm logo on it – on account of that he now officially lives on the farm.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper really loved it, and if you want to snag your pup one too you can use code HOLLYAMMO for 10% off your next purchase.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

The best part about spending Christmas day on the farm though, that my furry little pony friends were just right outside the door.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

It made it that much more special that I could spend time with all of my friends on Christmas day.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Before my holiday festivities could come to an end I packed up at the farm and headed over to my MomMom & PopPop’s house for some more fun with all my cousins and Aunts & Uncles.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I had a blast opening presents with my family.

What I did for Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

And even took a few selfies with my cousins!

P.S. Santa if you’re reading this, I really want a pair of those spiffy storm trooper & darth vadar pajamas next year too!

Happy Holidays friends! Ammo the Dachshund

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Mimi Green.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my new friends at Mimi Green sent me one of their Laser Engraved Buckle Collars to test out.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With a hole slew of collar patterns, colors, and styles I almost couldn’t decide which one I would like to wear. That is until I spotted this lovely velvet teal color (aka the Zack Collar) and I just knew it would be perfect!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Laser Engraved buckle is a plastic/metal hybrid which is great for dogs of all sizes, but especially smaller breeds because it makes the collar weigh less than a full metal buckle.

And if you’re someone that can’t stand the sound of jingle jangle id tags as your dog runs around the house, you can always forgo them if you like since your dog’s identification is right on the collar!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

While a velvet collar is probably not optimal on the farm (as it may collect a little too much “farm”), I just couldn’t help but take my new Mimi Green Collar for a fun farm photoshoot.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The pretty teal color just popped out there! And their velvet collars also come in lots of other fun colors.
