Friday Fetch: Arm the Animals

Posted on by

Online shop, Arm the Animals, has only one mission, to help the animals one shirt at a time. They create T-Shirts that make a statement, raise awareness, and generate funds for small, struggling animal rescues. They donate a portion of all their sales each month to rescues in need. And honestly, considering my name is AMMO, these seemed right up my alley!

Winter on the Farm

Posted on by

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Living in Eastern Pennsylvania, my buddy Trooper and I get our fair share of snowy weather during the winter months. But if you think that every time the sky lets out a little precipitation we hide inside the barn with our ponies, then you would be mistaken my friend!

Instead we run around the farm like crazy dogs trying to have as much fun in the white stuff before our moms call us back inside.

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

My pal Trooper goes a bit wild in the snow, trying to catch EVERY SINGLE SNOWFLAKE….

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

…and collecting EVERY SINGLE STICK before they get buried in the white stuff forever!

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes I like to just watch him make a fool of himself. It’s quite entertaining.

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Then things just start to get really silly.

Oh that Trooper.

Trooper’s silliness eventually rubs off on all my ponies too.

They seem to like to get their crazies out in the snow as well, running around and leaping into the air.

They even enjoy rolling around in the snow just like Trooper!

I must be missing something here, because I don’t know about you, but cold snow inside my jacket doesn’t sound that appealing to me!

Eventually my toes begin to get a little chilly, and it’s time to head back inside where it’s warm.

Don’t worry though, once we thaw out a bit we’ll be back out for more fun! Ammo the Dachshund

What is your dog’s favorite thing to do in the snow? Do they get all crazy about the white stuff like Trooper and my ponies?

Want to see more photos of my ponies playing in the snow? Be sure to visit their blog!

P.S. If your wondering where the jackets came from that Trooper and I are wearing… Trooper’s came from a thrift store and was likely handmade, and mine I won in a contest from the lovely pet product company, Hurtta. Underneath my outer coat I’m wearing a fleece from Ruffwear.

In fact, the Haul Bag is so roomy that it could even haul me around if need be!

But don’t worry, it also collapses into a nice, flat package for those times when you need to stow it away too.

Ruffwear Haul Bag Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

During the summer months especially I love to keep a bag packed with all of my must have gear. I never quite know when my family and I are just going to pick-up and head out on our next big adventure.

Everyday Dog Gear

Noodle and Friends Executive Coat Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I like to think that I’m a pretty stylish dog. I love to shop, and over the years I’ve tested and tried some of the best dog products on the market. I like to think that you (my readers) agree, because one of the common questions I get in e-mails, blog comments, and social media is where did I get a particular product I am seen wearing.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So I decided to create a whole new page on my blog dedicated to all the gear that I own, have tested, and absolutely love!

Frozen Lake // Ammo the Dachshund

So I invite you to check out my new Gear page, where I’ve compiled a list of all the gear I own and where you can grab it for your own dog too. From pet food, to winter wear, and even the photography gear my mom uses to take the photos for my blog!

So head on over and check it out, and if you’re wondering about something on the list, just shoot me an e-mail at info@ammothedachshund.com! With such an extensive list, it’s entirely possible I forgot to list something!

Happy Shopping!

P.S. If you have any special pet gear that you love too be sure to post it in the comments below, I love to hear what other pets and pet lovers are digging!Ammo the Dachshund

Adventures in the Snow

Posted on by

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Woohoo! Snow!

Yeah, that may not be the typical reaction that all northerners like me have when the sky dumps a big old pile of snow in your backyard. Especially when it’s almost March and the feeling that Spring can’t come soon enough is an epidemic.

But you know what, I really do love the snow.

The dashing part is especially fun! I like to pretend I’m being chased by a pack of wild wolves, only I’m so much faster than them that there is no way they can ever catch me. Hopefully I’ll never actually have to live in that moment, but just in case I’ll keep practicing.

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

And for those pups out there that don’t like to “blaze their own trail” in the snow, I’ve got news for you, you better start practicing, because you never know when those wolves are going to come out of nowhere!

I’m actually such an expert at blazing trails in the snow that you can hardly tell when I need to take a break to make some yellow snow.

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Those wolves will never see it coming when they slip in my icy patch of yellow snow!

Always one step ahead. *wink* Ammo the Dachshund

And when I hear the word canine, I can’t help but be involved! After all, I am a canine.

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The vintage styled T-shirts from Fuji and Friends are the kind of shirt you just love to wear. Extra soft, with that worn-in feel. Well, or so I’m told (on account of I go naked most of the time).

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

But the absolute best part is all the fun (vintage style) designs they carry…..all of which feature dogs!

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Because really, if you’re going to have your humans wear a t-shirt, it might as well have a dog on it! Of course I picked out this fabulous Spirit of Adventure shirt in brown heather for my mom, as I love to live everyday of my dog life as if it were the greatest adventure of them all.

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Fuji and Friends shirts come tag-less (the greatest, most important feature according to my mom) and are made of 50% cotton and 50% polyester.

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I must admit, their spirit of adventure t-shirt made both me and my mom want to go on our next big adventure ASAP. I’m thinking dog friendly road trip!

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I only have one regret with this new t-shirt though…

Fuji and Friends T-Shirt Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

….it doesn’t come in a doggie size! boo hoo! But perhaps they’ll add to their growing selection of designs – a dog sized one too!

So if you’re looking to update your wardrobe soon, I highly recommend you check out Fuji and Friends! You can even save 20% off your next order with code event20.

I stumbled upon the cutest little shop on Etsy the other day, Mann and Moon. This UK based company makes original and handmade accessories for dogs and dog lovers alike.

Throwback Thursday: That Time I got Stuck Under a Shed

Posted on by

So yeah…..there was that one time way back when that I got stuck underneath a shed in the Pocono Mountains.

Full disclosure here though, I MAY have been purposely under there in the pursuit of a rodent. And “stuck” might be a bit of a generous term when you consider the fact that I really didn’t want to come out from under the shed….I mean who else was going to get that rodent out from under there?

Don’t worry though, I eventually got “un-stuck”…..well mostly I just came out because it was time for my dinner!
