I may have strutted around the house for quite some time just showing off my new toys.

Later on my family came to spend the day with me (even by bestest pal Trooper was there) and I enjoyed seeing everyone.

Easter Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

It rained a bit on Easter, so I kindly offered up my dog training facilities in the basement so that my cousins could have their annual Easter egg hunt.

Easter Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m pretty sure I had the most eggs when everything was all said and done. (It’s because of my lightning fast speed!)

Easter Recap // Ammo the Dachshund

At the end of the day though, I come for one thing and one thing only…..the HAM! And I have to say it was DELISH!

Happy Easter // Ammo the Dachshund

I hope everyone had a nice Easter with their friends and family, and I’m already looking forward to next year, but it’s far to long to wait for more ham if I do say so myself!

DIY Bowties // Ammo the Dachshund

P.S. Thanks to everyone who shared their dogs in their Easter Bowties on my Facebook Page. I loved seeing all those happy dogs in their Easter wear after following my tutorial!

5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Pet

You all know I love a good DIY project, and when it takes less then 5 minutes and requires no sewing (for my mom who is not so handy with a needle and thread) it’s just an added bonus!

5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

So for Easter this year my mom helped me whip up some quick DIY Bowties that I can wear when all my family comes to visit on Sunday. They’re so fun and easy to make that I can’t even decide which one to wear!

5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Pet

5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

What you need:

  • Scissors or Rotary cutter
  • Ruler
  • Fabric
  • Iron (optional)

Step 1: Cut a long rectangular piece of fabric (Mom cut mine 5″ x 19″ to make my small bow tie). The longer and wider you make your rectangle the bigger your bow tie will be. You will also want to cut a thinner strip of fabric, mine was 2″ x 19″, to be used later.

Step 2: Using your large rectangular piece of fabric fold in the edges. You can use an iron to crease the folds if need be.

Step 3: Next fold your ends towards the center so that they just overlap where the center mark would be.

Step 4: Fold the entire piece of fabric in half.

Step 5: With the front of your bowtie facing you, crease it into 3 even pleats. Then place a clothespin on it to hold it in place while you move to the next step.

Step 6: Using the small strip of fabric you cut, fold in the edges.

Easter Egg Hunt for the Dogs

Easter Egg Hunt for the Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Easter is this weekend, so mom decided we could have a little pre-Easter fun by having an Easter Egg Hunt!

Incase you didn’t want to miss out on the fun either, here’s what you’ll need to have your very own Dog Friendly Easter Egg Hunt:

  • Plastic Easter Eggs
  • Small Dog Treats
  • An excited Pup that’s ready to hunt for eggs!

Easter Egg Hunt for the Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Simply fill your eggs with the treats and place them around the house or yard for your dog to find.

Easter Egg Hunt for the Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

You can also use the egg hunt as a way to work on some training. Asking your dog to sit and wait before hunting for the eggs helps them learn patience.

Make sure to supervise your pet during the egg hunt, as you will have to help them open the eggs once found (it’s those cumbersome paws)! Also be sure to make sure they don’t chew on the eggs, as they can break easily.

Next time I think I’ll have to invite my friends over to partake in all the fun!

Friday Fetch: Easter Dog Treats from Paw Street Barkery

With Easter just around the corner it has me dreaming about what delectable treats Mr. Bunny will be leaving in my Easter basket this year.

So when I stumbled across the Paw Street Barkery and all their organic dog treats I just knew I would be secretly hoping some of them end up in my Easter Basket this year.

It was a wonderful Easter weekend, and it was great to spend time with my friends and family. I hope everyone had as nice a time as I did – and hopefully Mr. Easter Bunny left you lots of goodies too!
