Sharing Cookies with Good Buddies

Chewy.com Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

When Chewy.com sent me some of their Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies recently I knew exactly what to do with them.

Chewy.com Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

Since I’m the nicest guy around I decided to share them with my own Good Buddy, Trooper!

Chewy.com Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

These made in the USA treats are packed with healthy ingredients, so I knew I was sharing something my best friend would love. (he’s a stickler for eating healthy)

Chewy.com Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

As you can see, Trooper was ecstatic when I told him he would get to help me eat these yummy Good Buddy treats.

Trooper and I scarfed our cookies so fast that we didn’t realize until after that our other pal Blitz the pony was feeling a bit left out on the cookie front.

Chewy.com Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

Since these Good Buddy treats are made from Whole Wheat Flour, Rolled Oats, Canola Oil, Peanut Butter, Whey Powder, Garlic Powder, Eggs, and Dried Kelp – mom said it would be fine if we wanted to share with Blitz the pony too.

After tasting a bite, Blitz agreed that the Peanut Butter Good Buddy cookies are better left for the dogs.

Chewy.com Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

And I won’t lie, I’m a bit relieved, because the bag is starting to weigh a bit less!

Chewy.com Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

And I’m starting to get concerned that my buddies might need to go on a diet! Or at least find someone else’s cookies to share, because the rest are mine, all mine!

You can fetch your own Good Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies from Chewy.com for about $4. Ammo the Dachshund

 

Zoomies

Did you ever get a case of the zoomies? You know the feeling, all you want to do is run as fast as you can – ears flapping in the wind – your best friend trailing hopelessly behind you. Just the usual….

Park It Mat Review & Giveaway // Peachtree Industries // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at Peach Industries recently sent me one of their Park It Mats to take for a spin. The Park It Mat and travel bag is designed to be a travel friendly mat for your dog!

Ideal for dog friendly dining, picnics at the park, group training sessions, and anywhere else you can take your best friend.

Park It Mat Review & Giveaway // Peach Industries // Ammo the Dachshund

With several fun designs and patterns (mine is the Surf set) each mat comes with a handy travel bag and shoulder strap so you can take it everywhere you go! It also has a little pocket and ring on the front so you can stash keys, wallets, and of course treats for your pup!

Park It Mat Review & Giveaway // Peach Industries // Ammo the Dachshund

Each mat comes in 2 sizes, Medium or Large (but custom sizing is available), and the underside is even water resistant making it perfect for outdoor use as well.

I found the mat to be the perfect spot to take an afternoon snooze under my favorite tree!

Park It Mat Review & Giveaway // Peach Industries // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom really liked the idea of training me to use the mat to “park myself” when we were out and about (like at a restaurant).

Park It Mat Review & Giveaway // Peach Industries // Ammo the Dachshund

In fact, I even took my new Park It Mat on an adventure over the weekend.

Park It Mat Review & Giveaway // Peach Industries // Ammo the Dachshund

It turned out to be the perfect thing to line the bottom of the shopping cart when I decided to make a pit-stop at the dog friendly home improvement store in my town.

Park It Mat Review & Giveaway // Peach Industries // Ammo the Dachshund

The Park It Mat made it so I didn’t have to stand on the wire bottom of the cart and made the ride much more enjoyable.

Watch This

Watch This // Training Horses Through Mimicking // Ammo the Dachshund

Whenever it’s time to work on training the ponies I’m never too far as I love offering encouraging words to my ponies as they learn new skills and tricks.

Watch This // Training Horses Through Mimicking // Ammo the Dachshund

My buddy Boomerang here is learning how to be more comfortable on a teeter totter.

Watch This // Training Horses Through Mimicking // Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes though, the ponies learn best by watching someone else do it first. So I offer up my skills, and tell Boomerang to watch this as I plod effortlessly across the teeter totter. In theory, watching someone else do it helps my ponies to realize it’s not as scary as it seems.

Watch This // Training Horses Through Mimicking // Ammo the Dachshund

Although it would also help if Boomerang was actually paying attention instead of sneaking grass behind me! Sigh. Ammo the Dachshund

Kid Magnet

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

One of the things that I love about the summer is being able to dine at restaurants with my mom and dad. Occasionally on the weekends we make sunday morning breakfasts (which accommodate outdoor seating that is dog friendly) a priority.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

This particular weekend I decided to hit up the Green Street Grill for some yummy breakfast.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

As soon as I parked myself at the dining table I began to draw attention from the other diners, in particular those that were under 3 feet tall.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

If you didn’t know already, I’m a total kid magnet!

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

Maybe it’s because I’m the perfect kid-friendly size, but where-ever I go those tiny little hands are bound to find their way onto my fur.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

And I’m totally ok with being a kid magnet, because when I’m stuck eyeballing mom’s breakfast (that I seem to never get a bite of)…..

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

….I know there will always be a kid nearby that has their breakfast all over their face and hands that totally won’t mind if I sneak a lick!

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

Afterwards, when I thought my breakfast outing was over, we headed out to the home improvement store to do some shopping.

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

Little did I know that my breakfast wasn’t quite over yet, because I got to meet this little girl with delicious left-over food all over her face!

Kid Magnet // Ammo the Dachshund

Being a kid magnet is exhausting, but I wouldn’t change it for anything, because someone out there has to rid the world of sticky kid hands and faces! Ammo the Dachshund

Afternoon Nap

Afternoon Nap // Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes I like to find a nice sunny spot to dose in for an enjoyable afternoon nap.

Afternoon Nap // Ammo the Dachshund

Afternoon naps are simply the best, but as I slowly begin to awake….

Afternoon Nap // Ammo the Dachshund

…I come face to face with the lens of a camera!

Afternoon Nap // Ammo the Dachshund

Frankly it’s a bit creepy!

And I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather awake to a big bowl of dog cookies! Ammo the Dachshund

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Weenie in a Tub

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Weenie in a Tub // Ammo the Dachshund

When you spend a lot of your time on a horse farm it’s inevitable that you’ll find yourself in the tub more often than not.

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Weenie in a Tub // Ammo the Dachshund

Bath time rituals become pretty common for me as I’m used to hearing things around the house like “what’s that smell?”, “what did you roll in this time?”, or my favorite “The smell is horrible!”.

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Weenie in a Tub // Ammo the Dachshund

While my patented weenie stench is not something all members of my household enjoy (what do you mean you don’t like the smell of soggy worms and horse poop?), I can say that sometimes I do enjoy the benefits of a good bath.

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Weenie in a Tub // Ammo the Dachshund

Not only does my after bath aroma warrant extra cuddles and the praises of “you’re so soft” and “you smell like sunshine”, but…

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Weenie in a Tub // Ammo the Dachshund

….I find that afterwards my pleading eyes for more cookies mom, are almost always met with – “of course you can have another cookie, because you’re so clean and sweet!”

Stink Happens // Dirty Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

Guess I’ll just have to start stinking up the place a little more often if I want those after bath cookiesAmmo the Dachshund

Blanket Dog Bed Review & Giveaway

Blanket Dog Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my new friends over at the Etsy Shop, I Brake For Yard Sales, sent me one of their handmade Blanket Dog Beds to take for a spin.

Blanket Dog Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

What makes this bed a little different than your average dog bed is that it has a super soft and snuggly blanket attached to the handmade wooden frame so that your dog can dig around and get extra comfy (or burrow to their hearts content!).

Blanket Dog Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

And not to worry, the fleece blanket easily unsnaps from the wood frame so you can wash it should your pup decide to go to bed with muddy paws! It even comes in lots of fun colors (I opted for the Gray).

Blanket Dog Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

It comes in two different sizes for the big and small dogs (but custom sizes are available by request) – I enjoyed lounging in this 17″ x 19″ x 6″ bed.

And since I’m an expert digger and burrower, I figured I’d show you just how “bed fluffing” is really done….

New York or Bust

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the 4th of July weekend I packed up my ponies and headed north 5 hours to New York!

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

After so many pit-stops I was fully expecting to end up in the big apple, but instead I ended up in the middle of nowhere at a horse campground!

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

I unpacked my ponies and tucked them in for the night….

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

…and pitched my tent for yet another fun weekend of camping!

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

I may or may not have hogged all the sleeping bags in the night. At least I was comfy!

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

When I awoke the next morning it became apparent that my ponies had made the long journey to New York to compete on a dog agility course! (at least that’s what it looked like to me)

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

It had a teeter totter….

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

…and some sort of porcupine looking things…

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

…and chickens? Ok well maybe it was the advanced dog agility course, which would explain why I’ve never seen any of these obstacles at my training classes.

Regardless my ponies were super brave and attempted each and every one of these challenging obstacles over the weekend!

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

I had a relaxing weekend watching them perform from the comfort of my favorite seat in the car. I even had my portable fan going to keep me cool.

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

I even got to pack in some tanning during my weekend in New York. And before I knew it we were on the road again headed back home to Pennsylvania.

New York of Bust // Ammo the Dachshund

And the good news is, we only got one flat tire on the way home! (not to worry, I’m an expert at changing tires).
