Friday Fetch: Live in Dog Years Collection!

My mom found herself browsing around in Concord Pets the other day (as most dog moms do) when she spotted this fun collection of goodies from Poochie Pet called Live in Dog Years. The quirky dog themed illustrations were just too fun not to share, with my personal favorite being the doggie breath mints (not that I have bad breath or anything!)

Summer at the Pool

Summer at the Pool // Ammo the Dachshund

Hot summer days are always best spent by the pool, which is exactly where I headed last weekend!

I took some relaxing raft rides.

I even worked on my tan.

But what I was most excited for was to dig into this month’s Barkbox!

Mom took some great videos of me enjoying my Barkbox poolside, unfortunately the computer decided the videos looked way too yummy to share and ate them all! So instead I’ll have to share my pool adventures with you via photographs. Hopefully you won’t be as sad about it as I am.

So after digging into my Barkbox I decided to break open the Louisiana Crab Jerky, because everyone knows you have to eat crab when you lounge by the pool.

I even chowed down on these PetSafe Indigo Chews, which tasted just as yummy even though mom says they are supposed to boost my antioxidants and clean my teeth all at the same time!

In fact I was having so much fun with my Barkbox that I decided to take it out to sea with me. Dad may or may not have had to save me when I drifted a bit too far.

Sadly we had an incident on the water though, as Mr. Whale forgot to wear his life vest and took a tumble into the pool.

Not to worry though, I’m an expert life guard – and wasted no time in rushing to his rescue.

It helps if you listen to baywatch music while looking at this photograph.

I’m also great at mouth to mouth resuscitation….maybe with a nibble thrown in here or there for good measure!

Boy, who know pool day could be so exciting!

Hello Dolly – Dog Approved DIY Doll Beds

Hello Dolly // DIY Doll Bed - dog approved // Ammo the Dachshund

Did I ever tell you that I live with a crafty bunch of people? Oh yes, so when it came time to get a birthday gift for my cousin Maddie, we didn’t just go to the store to buy something, no we strapped on our tool belts and made a doll bed! Ok well Dad strapped on his tool belt, but I knew just what to do when the doll bed was ready.

So since my Dad made a super sweet bed for my cousin’s doll, I figured the least I could do was make sure it passed the rigorous doll bed test. Incase you need to put a doll bed to the test too, here’s my guidelines for dog approved doll accessories.

Ammo’s Doll Bed Testing Guidelines

Test 1 – The Jumping Test: No doll bed is doll ready unless it can pass the jumping on the bed test. So put your paws to work and get to jumping on that bed! This one gets an A++ for jumpiness!

Test 2 – The Prayer Test: We all know that dolls have to say their prayers before bed, so get your prayers ready! I prayed for more cookies – although mom says I may have mixed up praying and wishes, but regardless the doll bed passed!

Test 3 – The Stretching Test: Make sure there is enough room on your doll bed for stretching out. If your sausage body can’t fit than you can bet miss dolly won’t either. Plenty of room here for my hot dog!

Test 4 – The Monsters Under the Bed Test: And the final and most important step in doll bed testing is to make sure there aren’t any monsters under the bed. I checked, and thank goodness Dad built a monster free bed.

Well, it looks like my cousin’s doll bed passed the test and now it’s ready for lots of dolly activities. I really hope I can come over for slumber parties! Especially if there’s popcorn. Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: Richards Harness Coat

Now that the winter weather is here, it’s time for me to really start bundling up in my layers, especially on the farm. One of the things that always plagues me is that I not only end up layering multiple coats to stay warm, but I also have to fit in a harness somewhere too.

So when I came across Richards Harness Coat I thought, now why didn’t I think of that!? Never mind the fact that I can’t sew (it’s those cumbersome paws)!

Featuring winter coats, rain coats, and more – all with built in harnesses – these coats come in a variety of sizes to fit small to large dogs. They even have extra long sizes, for all those extra long dogs!

The Buddy System

My Monday post today is a bit later than normal – and that’s because when I woke up this morning it was gorgeous outside! So nice in fact, that after spending all morning on the farm my best buddy Trooper came over to spend the afternoon with me.

We told jokes, and laughed and laughed.

And we looked for critters in the back yard.

Then we napped.

And napped.

And then we napped some more.

But I realized something after my afternoon with Trooper.

Napping is so much better when you implement the Buddy System. 

My Pearly Whites

Since February is Pet Dental Health Month I decided that I really should be brushing my teeth regularly. Up until now, it wasn’t really a regular thing for me – although I did chew on lots of those dental sticks, and occasionally break out the tooth brush.

So my new goal is to brush my teeth every night before bed.

It may not be my “favorite” thing to do….

…but it helps that Mom got me special doggie toothpaste that is oh-so-yummy!

And just look at my sparkling smile now! So Shiny!
