Easter Bunny with Dachshund // Ammo the Dachshund

As you know Easter was this past Sunday. It’s one of my favorite holidays – as holidays that involve a bunny always make the top of my list! Alas though, when I woke up Sunday morning it seems I had just missed Mr. Bunny.

But don’t worry, because the very special BarkBox Bunny never seems to miss my house, and this year was no exception. Check out the fun video of me diving into my Easter Basket:

That Barkbox Bunny knows just what kind of goodies I love!

After opening my basket I packed up and headed over to my mom-mom’s house where I was put in charge of hiding the easter eggs for all of my cousins (on account of I’m very good at finding hiding spots – mostly of the hole variety!).

That’s right, they’ll never find this one!

My cousins are pretty good at finding easter eggs, but I couldn’t let them have all the fun!

Too bad all the eggs I found had jelly beans in them….yuck!

After the egg hunt it was time for dinner. Unfortunately my family forgot to set a place for me at the table! Can you believe it! Don’t worry though, I found the perfect spot to look pathetic and got handed plenty of little nibbles.

And after I was nice and stuffed one of my cousins volunteered to take me for a walk. I burned off all those calories in a matter of minutes hunting for more easter bunnies!

K9 Couture Collars Review & Giveaway

My new friends at K9 Couture Collars recently sent me some new collars to update my wardrobe.

At K9 Couture Collars they believe that just like shoes, you can never have too many collars! And I have to say I totally agree with this. As a dog, who wants to wear the same collar everyday? Certainly not me, I have too much fashion sense for that.

Everything they make is hand picked, assembled and hand sewn by them.

And the designs – they have so many! Tons of styles and colors and if you don’t see what you’re looking for you can even request something custom.

Most of their collars are made with a thick nylon webbing and fabric overlay, and you can choose the collar width you prefer for your dog. You can tell each stitch is done with the utmost of care! They have many different styles and can come with plastic buckles or metal buckles and with a choice of standard buckle or martingale options.

Personally I adore this gold metal buckle collar in mint julep. My mom prefers the metal buckles as they seem to be much sturdier and stronger. And at K9 Couture you can choose whichever options you prefer best for your own dog’s collar.

I haven’t seen many collars on the market with gold hardware, and this one just screams….I’m fancy and I know it!

The Dogs Before Me

Posted on April 2, 2015 by Ammo

In the 6 years that I have known my mom and dad it’s hard for me to imagine that before I came along there were other dogs. Like lots of other dogs! Crazy right?

Well ok, technically I’m the very first dog for my dad, but my mom….she’s had many adventures with the dogs before me. So today since it’s #throwbackthursday I thought it would be fun to share some of those dogs that came before me. Because you know what, I’m not so different from them.

Throwback Thursday: The Dogs Before Me // Deacon // Ammo the Dachshund

My mom started her love of dogs at a very young age. Here she is with one of the firsts, a rescue dog named Deacon.

Throwback Thursday: The Dogs Before Me // Sneakers // Ammo the Dachshund

If you fast forward to 1991 – my mom’s family rescued Sneakers. She was a golden mix, and if you look closely you can see her two front paws were white, as if she was wearing sneakers. She went on to be a 4-H dog and even earned her Canine Good Citizen certification.

Throwback Thursday: The Dogs Before Me // Sneakers & Jack // Ammo the Dachshund

But see, my mom loved dogs so much that she wanted a dog to call her very own. So after years of pleading she became the owner of her very first dog, a rescued black labrador retriever named Big Jack Attack. (Jack for short).
