Everyone loves a good button!

Posted on October 22, 2013 by Ammo

Recently I helped mom come up with a button design for my etsy shop, because everyone loves a good button! You can put them everywhere – on your book bag, on your shirt, on your friends shirt, on anything you want!

Blindingly bright yellow and featuring my logo and favorite saying, “Adventure Awaits”, these buttons are now available in my etsy shop! And for the time being I’ll also be sending them out in every purchase from my shop too! It’s my little gift to you!

So buy a calendar, buy a card – I’ll send along a happy button to make you smile!

Nipomo Imprints Review & Giveaway

Posted on September 12, 2013 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Nipomo Imprints.

Lately I had been noticing that my super hero gear was looking a bit shabby – mainly my stunt helmet and trick box.

So when I was contacted by Nipomo Imprints, who specialize in vinyl decals for vehicles, signs, laptops and home décor, I thought this might be just the thing to spruce up my super hero look.

So I sent Nipomo some of my logo designs, and they turned them into various sized decals and window clings. How fabulous!

Since Nipomo sent so many fabulous shapes and sizes of my logo, I now need your help! See I can’t decide where to put them!

Should I…

Paint the sides of my trick box and apply “Ammo the Dachshund”
Paint my entire trick box and put my large logo on the top
Paint my helmet a new solid color and put “Ammo” on the sides
Paint my helmet a new color and put “Ammo” on the front
Paint my helmet and put my logo on the front and “Ammo” on the sides
Paint my helmet and put just my logo on the front

And while you’re contemplating where I should adorn my new Nipomo decals, check out how you can win some decals of your own!

THREE Lucky WINNERS will WIN decals from Nipomo Imprints!
(one winner will receive any decal from the Nipomo Shop, one winner will win this decal, and one winner will receive this decal.)

Here’s HOW TO WIN:

For this giveaway I will be using, Rafflecopter. We only use the information you provide to contact the winners and we never share it – so not to worry. Winners will be chosen at random and you will be contacted via e-mail to claim your prize. All the winners will also be announced on this blog post once the giveaway ends on 9/24/13 12AM EST. Open to US Residents Only. Good luck!

Make sure you stop by the Nipomo Imprints Shop, they carry some neat dachshund designs – and even do custom requests!

Friday Fetch: Go! Pet Design

Posted on September 6, 2013 by Ammo

Modern and stylishly designed pet items is the name of the game for Go! Pet Design. While studying industrial design at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute, Peter Pracilio found himself making his first dog crate for his rescued miniature pincher who needed his own digs. He furthered his love of design and pets by creating Go! Pet Design, which sells a variety of pet items, here are a few of my favorites:

Friday Fetch: The Original Toasty Pet Bed

Posted on August 30, 2013 by Ammo

I stumbled across The Original Toasty Pet Bed from The Toasty Pet Company on Etsy and I couldn’t help but think how utterly unique (and cute) it was!

The Toasty Pet Bed is made of durable and cozy sherpa fabric and the back and sides are hard-wearing fabric. The filling is a very durable solid foam that can be removed. It’s great for small and medium-sized dogs (and all-sized cats).

Friday Fetch: Dog Harnesses from Ginger’s Wonders

Posted on July 12, 2013 by Ammo

I came across this interesting harness design from Ginger’s Wonders on Etsy and was intrigued. I like a good harness that gives me freedom of movement, and these harnesses seem to do just that. Plus they come in some fun colors and patterns, perfect for some summertime fun!

Shop Dog // Work // Ammo the Dachshund

So you may have noticed that my post was a little later than normal today. I blame it on my mom. Because while I’m laying around the shop looking like this today, she’s too busy with work to help me on the computer! I guess I could help, but it’s so hard to when all I want to do is lay like this!

So to help with your inevitable afternoon boredom (which I’m sure you have by now), I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite things from my shop so you can go shopping! Because the must have cure for being bored – is online shopping!

Take Your Dog to Work Day

Posted on June 24, 2013 by Ammo

This past Friday was Take Your Dog to Work Day, but for me it was no different than any other day, because I work most days with my mom in her custom frame shop.

But, I decided to play the part anyway and instead of my usual sunbathing by the front door I threw on my glasses and helped mom with the picture framing.
