…and even floppy tug toys! This little fox is actually my very favorite from the line, I’m a master tugger that’s for sure.

One toy in particular brought out the little devil in me, because of course I’m always the sweetest boy ever, and normally I would NEVER do anything naughty.

But with a little coaxing from my new friend, I decided to scare mom and dad by blending into my new toy pile (just like in the movie E.T.) and popped out just at the right moment to scare them! After all, that’s what Halloween is all about!

The Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Line not only has spooky toys, but they also have some adorable pet bowls too.

They’re all adorable, but I have to say the Eyeball Pet Bowl is my favorite!

Martha Stewart Pets also sent along one of their fun Halloween Costumes too, but since it was a little too snug on me, my friend Bones here decided to help model it.

Bones was looking a little chilly (I think he lost weight), so he was thrilled to have a Vampire costume to help cover him up a bit.

Oh Bones, isn’t Halloween just the greatest?

Birthday Week: Ammo’s Year 6 Video

One of my favorite things about Birthday Week is having the chance to look back over my past year of life. As sad as my mom and dad are that I’m another year older, it’s always fun to reminice about all the amazing adventures I had over the past year. And boy did I have a lot of adventures!

Birthday Week: Happy 7th Birthday to Ammo

So just like last year, my mom helped me compile a video to highlight some of my favorite adventures from my 6th year! So if you’ve got 10 minutes, you’ll definitely want to watch this video filled of happy memories.

This concludes my week of Birthday Fun! I’ll just have to wait until next year to celebrate again. Incase you missed some of the excitement, here’s a recap:

Until next year friends! Happy Birthday to me! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Birthday Week: Presents, Presents & More Presents

Since my official Birthday was on Monday (I’m 7 woohoo!) I bet you’re all wondering what exactly I did to celebrate the special day. So I made this fun video to show you just how things went down on the anniversary of my birth…

As you can see other than opening my presents I did a whole lot of napping in the sun around the farm with my buddy Trooper. It wasn’t exciting, it wasn’t adventurous, but it’s exactly what I wanted to do on my Birthday!

When Dogs Go Crazy Over Leaves

Ok well technically there is only one dog going crazy over leaves, and it’s me!

Something about those crunchy leaves just gives me the case of the zoomies!

The Happiest Place on Earth

If you’re having a bad day, or you need a reason to smile, then you are in luck, because I’m going to share with you the happiest place on Earth! You can’t help but smile when you find out where I recently took a trip to.

The Happiest Place on Earth - Ammo the Dachshund visits a Sunflower field

See where I live in Chester County, Pennsylvania we have rolling farmland practically right out my backdoor. But it’s still not everyday that I get to see this type of crop pop up seemingly overnight….

The Happiest Place on Earth - Ammo the Dachshund visits a Sunflower field

So on a warm sunny afternoon I took a trip out to a very special place with my family, a place where you can’t help but smile.

Sunflower fields!

I got to meet the wonderful family that plants these fields every 4 years (which means I’ll have to wait until 2019 to see them again!), and happily welcomed visitors to their property so that everyone could enjoy the beautiful view. I even learned that they have two dachshunds too!

The Happiest Place on Earth - Ammo the Dachshund visits a Sunflower field

There were lots of people visiting the Sunflower Fields, and just like everyone else I couldn’t wait to get a picture among the beautiful flowers (while being respectful to the crops of course).

Even my mom and dad got in on the action, and then we broke out the selfie stick…

I think my selfie smile might need a little more work. 🙂

I learned that these sunflowers will soon be making their way into bird seed, so that the happiness will continue!

I’m already counting down the days until fall 2019 when I can visit the sunflowers again! What’s your happiest place to visit with your dog? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Labor Day Weekend Update

After spending nearly 2 months stuck at home helping mom and dad work on my new kitchen (which I promise I will share the finished project just as soon as the finishing touches are done), I was ready for some excitement. So mom and dad decided we needed a break over labor day weekend. Now most people would probably consider a break parking themselves on the couch all weekend, or soaking in some sun on the beach (which does sound nice), but instead, we do things a little wild around here.

I packed in as much excitement as I could over my 3-day weekend. From meeting the Budweiser Clydesdales in downtown West Chester (and their cool dalmatian sidekick Barley), antique shopping, dining out, stacking hay at the farm, hiking with my pal Shilah the Husky, and soaking in the last rays of summer – I did ALL THE THINGS!

Too bad every weekend is not a 3-day weekend! And also, can you believe that my mom baked cookies and I couldn’t even have any. Seriously? We’re gonna have a talk about that later.

Apple Picking

There is always one sure sign that fall is just around the corner at my house….

Picking Apples with Adorable Ammo the Dachshund

…apples!

The fruit tree in my backyard produces some pretty red apples this time of year, and I always look forward to helping mom pick them (before the bugs and birds get to them).

Nothing says fall like the smell of delicious red apples.

Well, maybe the taste of delicious red apples!

I just have to be careful, because there is always critters lurking, trying to steal my apples. From groundhogs, to bunnies, birds and bees…..it’s a jungle out there!

Don’t worry apple, no man shall be left behind on my watch! I got yo’ back!

Selective Listening Skills

If you’re owned by a dachshund then you know exactly what the term “selective listening” is. And incase you’re unfamiliar, here’s a fun video of my selective listening skills in action…

What can I say, if you want me to do something it better be worth my while!

Dehydrated Pet Food from The Honest Kitchen + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post is brought to you by The Honest Kitchen. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

As you may have read on my blog last week, I’ve recently taken the plunge into trying dehydrated pet food. Since I’ve been on a rotational diet since I was just a wee pup I’m always excited when mom finds a few food for me to try. This time around I got to try the Revel Chicken Recipe from my friends at The Honest Kitchen!

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

If you’re unfamiliar with de-hydrated dog food, it is essentially raw foods that have been dehydrated to lock in the nutrients. It’s less processed than dry food, and typically needs water to “plump up”.

The Honest Kitchen’s dehydrated pet food, treats and supplements are made from 100% human grade whole foods.

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

The Honest Kitchen makes several varieties of pet food including grain free, whole grain, and even limited ingredient foods for sensitive pets, or pets with allergies.

Revel is the food I started out with, and had been eating over the past few weeks. It’s a whole grain chicken food with Free-range chicken, organic barley, potatoes, organic flax, organic oats, green peas, carrots, bananas, parsley, organic kelp, celery, tricalcium phosphate, choline chloride, zinc amino acid chelate, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, potassium iodide, potassium chloride, iron amino acid chelate, copper amino acid chelate, thiamine mononitrate.

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

A 2 lb. box of Revel costs $15.99, and if you consider that I eat 1/3 cup twice a day, a 2lb. box (which contains about 8 cups of food) would end up costing me $1.33 a day and would last me 12 days (and there is even bigger savings when you buy larger quantities).

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

Now let me just say, I’ve never been much of a morning dog, but ever since Revel showed up at my door I’ve been an early riser because I just cannot wait to get my breakfast! No joke, I’m the first one out of bed now ready and waiting to be served my Honest Kitchen meal.

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

I’ve been eating about 1/3 cup twice a day for the past several weeks – and loving every minute of it.

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

The hardest part about eating dehydrated is having to wait that agonizing 3 minutes while it “puffs up” after mom adds hot water. I have to say though, after about a month I’m starting to get a bit more patient for my meals now, and mom likes how it’s teaching me to have more self control (as if dachshunds have any of that!).

The Honest Kitchen Dehydrated Pet Food Review + Giveaway

The aroma of chicken noodle soup (which is what mom says it smells like) fills my house at mealtime, and I scarf that puppy down! After a month of eating dehydrated food from The Honest Kitchen mom even noticed that my coat seemed shinier and softer too.

You can fetch REVEL and other great dehydrated foods from the Honest Kitchen. And as a BONUS, if you’d like to try some Honest Kitchen with your pets you can use my special promo code for a FREE SAMPLE BUNDLE + Honest Kitchen Coupon ($10 Total Value) for just $1 in shipping.
