Life Lesson Number One

Now that I’m a big brother it’s my duty to teach Baby P all the important stuff. #1 on the life lesson list, how to dig a proper hole.

Rescue on the Farm

As you can see, Baby P was super excited to learn this life lesson. That’s my girl, she totally gets it. You just never know when you’re going to need to dig something, so always come prepared with those two little shovels on the bottom of your arms!

Dirt filled baths, and dirty finger nails are totally in our future.

Rescue on the Farm

Up next, how to navigate to the critters in the woods. We’ve got a whole lot of life lessons to get through this summer, so we better get started!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by RedBarn Inc. All opinions are my own, and I would only share products with you (my lovely readers) that I think you and your pets may love!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

A few weeks ago a special little package from my friends at RedBarn Pet Products arrived in the mail. My nose led me straight for it!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

And holy moly, if I had know a business built in a little red barn could make all these yummy goodies (and more) I would of had mom pulling over the car at every red barn I saw! While they certainly have outgrown that original red barn since they now make over 200 products including rolled foods, canned foods, bully sticks, filled bones, bones, tendons, hooves, sweet potato treats and many more, they still are made right here in the USA!

While RedBarn totally had me at first sniff, mom always takes a little convincing before she’ll let me sink my teeth into just any treat or bone.

She needn’t worry though, because RedBarn has strict quality assurance specifications in their factories to ensure the freshest product goes out their doors.

Looks like I’ve got the ok to dig right in from mom!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

While I’ve been very busy sampling lots of RedBarn products (it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it), I have found a particular something that is my current favorite.

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

These Bully Nuggets are made from natural beef lung nuggets coated in yummy bully gravy. Sorry, I’m probably making you drool!

That tasty gravy also contains some special ingredients like Salmon Oil and Vitamin E to help support your dog’s joints.

All I know is it was enough to make me roll over 10 times in a row just for a taste!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

Totally worth all that rolling over!

April Beach Babes

April Beach Babes

A few weeks ago I went on a fun day trip with my family. We packed up Baby P, Mom, Dad, my Nannie & Opa, my ponies and my best pal Trooper for a day at the beach!

April Beach Babes

When we got there the ponies set off on a ride along the beach while I stayed behind to help keep an eye on Baby P.

April Beach Babes

Only little did I know that I would end up tied to a tether in the sand because Dad said “I can’t keep an eye on both roaming munchkins”. (We all know he’s just not as good at multi-tasking as mom) ….Love ya Dad, but it’s true!

April Beach Babes

Baby P came to my rescue though and tried as hard as she could to free me. Alas, it was just not meant to be this time.

April Beach Babes

That’s ok though, a beach day is still a beach day and I used the opportunity to get some sun and some R&R.

April Beach Babes

After my ponies returned from their ride I knew they were ready for something else too…

April Beach Babes

….a nice relaxing nap in the sand!

Boomerang totally knows how to do a Beach Day if you ask me!

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway are brought to you by Ruffwear, all opinions are my own and I only share products I think you and your pets will love.

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

I bet you’re wondering what this fancy schmancy get-up I’ve got going on here is. Well my friends, it’s my new dog pack from my pals at Ruffwear!

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

The Ruffwear Commuter pack is a rucksack for us dogs with a clean modern look. So it fits right in on the hiking trail or the urban commute.

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

It comes in sizes for all dogs and is easy to strap on so you can get out the door in a flash!

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

With lots of pockets for all your gear it’s the perfect way to give your dog a job no matter where you’re headed.

It’s important to remember not to overload your pack, and according to Cesar Milan 10 -12% of your dog’s weight is a good starting point. And remember all dogs are different and if you are unsure start by getting the okay from your vet.

Since us Dachshunds are prone to back issues my pack is always very light weight and balanced on both sides. Sometimes I even just carry it empty, because I still feel like I have an important job to do with it on!

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

I always dream of carrying around some delicious treats, because if you’re going to wear pockets on your back, then you might as well make sure they are stuffed with food!

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

In reality though, most of the time it’s filled with diapers and baby gear. Sigh.

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

Even if my Commuter Pack is filled with baby stuff, I still look super business-like when I head through town to work. And no one even knows what I’ve got packed inside, and if they ask, I just tell them it’s important business things.

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

The Ruffwear Commuter Pack comes in two colors, Cloudburst Gray (which I’m wearing) and Larkspur Purple.

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

As an added bonus, I feel like my new rucksack makes me look extra tough and strong. I’ve been telling all the ladies that I’m carrying 20lb weights in them (shhh! it’s our secret).

The New Ruffwear Commuter Pack + A Giveaway

And I even look sweet from behind!

So if you’re looking for a great way to make your dog feel important with a job to do, then you might want to check out the Commuter Pack from Ruffwear. As with all of their gear I can’t recommend it enough, and their products truly do hold up year after year.

And now for the best part…

10 Reasons Why Dachshunds Rule

It’s come to my attention that some of you may not know why us Dachshunds are so super cool. So incase you were unaware, I’ve made this handy list as to why Dachshund Rule The World.

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 11 with Ammo the Dachshund

  1. You don’t ever have to worry about freezing to death if you live with a Dachshund

Personal heating pad. Check. If you’re chilly, just grab a Dachshund, because we can put out some serious heat!

Ammo the Dachshund // Evening Hunting on the Farm

2. If rodents ever took over the World, your Dachshund would save you.

Honestly, we don’t even need an excuse like total World domination to justify a good old fashioned hunt down.

3. Your Dachshund will teach you to have the patience of a saint.

Us Dachshunds have our own agenda, and if we want to do something (or don’t want to do something), you better believe we won’t be listening to your commands.

4. You won’t need to waste your money on a shovel when you have a Dachshund.

Born to dig, that’s our motto. Just think of all the money you saved by not buying all those shovels!

5. Your floors, and tables, and pretty much any surface we can reach will be spotless.

Smell food. Will eat…by any means necessary. Enough said.

6. You’ll have a reason to smile every day when you share your home with a Dachshund.

We’re goofy, and silly, and never run out of ways to do something just totally ridiculous that will make you smile.

7. Our unique body shape inspires all kinds of art.

Seriously, just try shopping at Target without finding something with a Dachshund on it. We’re that cool.

Family Reunion // Ammo the Dachshund

8. We have no idea that we’re small.

If you always wanted a big dog, look no further. We Dachshunds believe we’re the biggest dogs of them all, and despite our size, we have no problem striking fear into the hearts of all the big dogs out there.

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

9. We have a distinct smell all our own.

Ah, the aroma of a Dachshund. It will grow on you.

Holiday Tidings

10. We love our families something fierce.

Nothing can compare to the love that a Dachshund has for his family. And that my friends is why Dachshunds Rule!

My Spring To-Do List

With Spring just around the corner (it’s in the 70’s today…that’s crazy!) I realized I better get  to work creating my Spring To-Do List. Because there is soooo much to do to be ready for Spring.

Ammo’s Spring To-Do List:

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

#1: Get dirt for mom’s vegetable garden. I never pass up the opportunity to play in a big pile of dirt. Bonus if its from the mushroom farm, because then I know it’s extra stinky.

Gardening with Ammo the Dachshund

#2: Help Dad rebuild the ramp to my shed. Which basically means that I get to take some more trips to my favorite hardware store…yippee!

Gardening with Ammo the Dachshund

#3: Help mom pick out plants for the vegetable garden. This time I’m hoping she plants corn, because that’s my favorite!

#4: Locate all the new critter holes around my home, so I’ll know just where to dig when the warm weather hits.

Frolicking on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

#5: Help out with maintenance around the farm. (Also know as digging holes for fence posts)

ammo and trooper digging hole

#6: Widen all the openings to the ground hog holes on the farm (after hibernation I’m sure those ground hogs are gonna be extra fat and extra stuck)

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

#7: Roll in the stinkiest stuff I can find. Because when Spring hits I want to be able to blend right into my surroundings.

ammo the dachshund morning on the farm

#8: Scratch my back in the grass. It’s just not the same in the winter!

ammo the dachshund university of delaware graduation party

#9: Take a nap outside WITHOUT a coat on!

Spring Bath // Ammo the Dachshund

#10: Rub my after-bath fur all over the house. Because after all those dirt related things I’m sure mom is going to make me take a bath!

Heigh-Ho Heigh-Ho

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

Now that I’m the coolest big brother ever, it’s come to my attention that to be EVEN cooler (if that’s even possible), that I need to practice my “nursery rhymes”. My sister likes when I “sing” to her, and she likes it even more when I dig holes. Well, this is perfect, because I have just the song to sing her in preparation of Spring (aka Groundhog season).

These Paws were Made for Digging // Ammo the Dachshund

Heigh-Ho
A “Cooler” Version by Ammo

I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in my hole the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what I really like to do
It ain’t no trick to get groundhogs quick
If you dig dig dig with a paw or a pick
In a hole! In a hole! In a hole! In a hole!
Where a million groundhogs live!
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
I dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
I dig up groundhogs by the score
A thousand critters, sometimes more
But I don’t know what I dig ’em for
I dig dig dig a-dig dig
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho

Much better than the original song, right?

And don’t worry, if I ever get tired of digging, I can bring in reinforcements. Happy Digging! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Does your dog like to dig as much as me?

You might remember that not long ago I was anxiously awaiting my sister’s arrival. Even more so because my lovely friend Suzanne had made me and my sister some lovely crochet items.

Well the time has finally come, and my sister can wear them with me!!

As you can see, Baby P was very excited that we were going to get to play DRESS UP. Something tells me there will be a lot of dress up games in my future.

What do you think Baby P and I should dress up as next?

American Barn Warrior

Thanksgiving Roadtrip: Folly Beach Dogs

I like to think I’m a pretty fit dog. I mean I exercise regularly, I try to eat a healthy meal (aside from that 1/2 a hoagie I stole off the dining room table the other day….but that hardly counts), and I’m always ready for fun adventures!

So when I recently caught sight of the TV show, American Ninja Warrior, I was totally hooked! I mean I could EASILY get through those tough obstacle courses.

American Ninja Warrior

Half the battle is having flair anyway, and I totally have that covered!

Unfortunately American Ninja Warrior doesn’t accept dog submissions. But, that wasn’t going to stop me from having a little fun of my own, because I invented AMERICAN BARN WARRIOR….

American Barn Warrior

Just as challenging, and with equal amounts of flair, American Barn Warrior is going to be the next big thing.

American Barn Warrior

Hay Bale obstacles, trenches, and perhaps a horse or two….it’s not for the faint of heart (or those of you who didn’t eat your wheaties today!).


So what do you think, are you up for the challenge? Do you think you could master my American Barn Warrior Challenge? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity
