Adventure Awaits on the Road Ahead

Posted on May 27, 2015 by Ammo

As you read this I’m off on a week long road trip with my family as I head to Nashville Tennessee for this year’s BlogPaws Conference!

I’m excited to hit up some interesting places along the way like the Shenandoah National Park, the Great Smoky Mountains and so much more! While I won’t be blogging the rest of this week, you can still check in with me on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter as I’ll be sharing lots of the fun as we go!

Find out where I got my awesome travel bag.

And before I head home, I’ll be attending the Red Carpet ceremony at the BlogPaws Conference as I’m up for the Best Dog Blog & Best Pet Photo awards. Paws crossed I win, and if you want to check out all the fun you can watch the live streaming event on Youtube!

Watch on the BlogPaws YouTube channel: beginning at approximately 7:00pm CST, followed by closing remarks.

And that’s not all, since I felt bad about not blogging the rest of the week while I was traveling, I decided to add some fun adventure goodies to my shop!

From pocket mirrors…

…buttons…

…and even magnets!

Check out my online etsy shop, Flying Hero to grab all these goodies and more! (please note items purchased this week will ship the first week in June).

So friends, I’m signing off now, because as always Adventure Awaits!

Spring Bark and Where I’m Headed Next

Posted on March 12, 2015 by Ammo

I’ve got some exciting news! Recently I found out that I’m a finalist in the BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Awards for the Best Dog Blog & Best Pet Blog Photo.

It’s enough to make me feel like a celebrity!

What makes the Nose-to-Nose awards a little different is that this is the only pet industry awards on which pet bloggers and micro-bloggers are judged on the expertise, performance, and creativity of their blog. Each category is judged by a distinguished panel of professionals, and not by popular vote. So don’t worry I won’t be begging for votes (not that I’ve ever been a fan of that anyway), now begging for cookies, that’s another story!

Oh gosh, I can just feel the love!

The best part is that winners will be revealed in an exclusive red carpet ceremony at the BlogPaws Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee at the end of May.

I’m already excitedly making some plans so I can hopefully take a week-long road trip to attend the event. Which is great news for you too, because that means when I get back from my trip I’ll have a whole SLEW of adventures to share with you! You know, like where the best trees to pee on in Tennessee are, and what kind of squirrels they have in Virginia….the important stuff.

Giving Back and Blanket ID Tags

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

Super Heroes do more than just look great in capes, they also help their community! I am proud to be a supporter of animal rescues and helping shelter animals in need.

A few months ago I created a new page on my blog all about giving back. You can check it out HERE.

Giving Back // Lending a Helping Paw // Ammo the Dachshund

I love to do everything I can to help animals in need, so when an opportunity popped up to help a rescue of my choice, I jumped at the chance.

Blanket ID (makers of those fun id tags that keep your pets safe) recently launched a contest looking for cute sayings for their new id tags in their “Significant Others” collection. The winning saying will make it onto a Blanket ID tag in which $3 from every sale will go to the winner’s favorite animal rescue.

My tag submission, “My Hero”, recently made it to the top 10 finalists and is now in the running to be chosen!

Now I need your help to get my tag to the top!

You can vote for my tag (#4, My Hero) by just leaving a comment with the number 4 on the Blanket ID blog, on their Facebook page or emailing it to cate@blanketID.com, share it if you like as much as you can and help me and my chosen rescue. Voting ends Today, Monday 4th March at midnight. Click HERE to VOTE.

Regardless of whether or not my design wins (although it would be fun to win), animals in need will get a helping paw! And that’s the most important part!

2012 Petties Finalist – Best Blog Design

Posted on July 7, 2012 by Ammo

Hey Friends! I’m dropping by the blog this Saturday to let you all know that I’ve been chosen as a 2012 Petties Finalist for the Best Blog Design. How cool!

I’m honored to have been chosen by Dogtime as a finalist, but the very best part is that the winners in each category get $1,000 to donate to their favorite pet charity.

As you know I donate funds to my favorite pet charities each year through the sale of my artwork and the paintings made by my Painting Pony Friends. It would be oh so wonderful to donate more funds to a pet rescue in need, but I need your help!
