A Dog’s First Day of School

Posted on August 28, 2015 by Ammo

Rumor has it the first day of school is just around the corner.

Ammo the Dachshund gets ready for the First Day of School

Since I’ve never been to school (well technically I did visit a couple of elementary schools, one time my pony came too!), I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

So I put on my bestest school outfit and my reading glasses. Packed my lunch and filled my backpack with all my important school supplies (like cookies and toys).

Since I’ve never ridden the school bus before (aside from that time I went to the goat races, oh yea and the Fair Hill International Event), I decided to park myself outside my house and wait for it to come pick me up for my very first day.

All that waiting for the school bus was starting to make me hungry, and my lunch was starting to look pretty darn good.

And you know what, waiting for the school bus isn’t all that interesting. In fact, it’s kinda boring.

After I waited for about an hour, mom reminded me that school didn’t actually start until NEXT WEEK, and I still had an entire weekend of SUMMER BREAK!

Thank goodness!!! Because Summer was starting to sound a lot more fun than going to school anyway.

And it’s a good thing school wasn’t starting yet anyway, because I wouldn’t have had any lunch left!

HAPPY ALMOST FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL EVERYONE!

Throwback Thursday: Diva Behind the Lens

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Ammo

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Throwback Thursday post, so today I thought I’d share a little peek behind the lens from way back in 2012.

While it’s very true, I know how to take a dashing photo, I also sometimes like to be a little demanding behind the lens.

As in “give me more cookies now”. Supermodels are allowed to be demanding though right?

Well, I guess when you look this cute you can be! *wink* Happy #tbt!

Oh the Places You Sleep: Vol. 5

Posted on August 12, 2015 by Ammo

I bet you never knew napping could be so interesting? Well when you’re a dog and you nap 90% of your life, you tend to get a little creative. Here’s where I’ve been napping over the past month…

If Only My Legs Were Longer…

We’ve all been there. With just a couple more inches, my whole world would be different….

It’s a real struggle.

Epic Wrestling Match

Posted on July 30, 2015 by Ammo

My best bud Trooper and I know a thing or two about wrestling. After all we have been doing it since we were just wee pups.

Ammo & Trooper Wrestle with their new Outward Hound Toy

So when we get a new toy, like this Invincibles Snake toy our friends at Outward Hound recently sent us, we tend to go a little nuts with the wrestling!

When Dogs & Cats Play

My pals over at Chewy.com recently sent me some fun new products to test out. The KONG Active Cat Play Mat and these Free Ranger no stink Bully Stix!

The Bully Stixs were AWESOME, but honestly, I couldn’t see what the big fuss was about the Play Mat was.

But then mom pulled out a bottle of this Kitty Kush Catnip* that we picked up at BlogPaws and sprinkled a little bit on the activity mat.

*affiliate link

Out of nowhere my pal Spider the Kitty showed up and was all about the Kong Play Mat!

It didn’t take Spider long to kick me off the mat as she rolled, crinkled (it has this fun crinkle sound just like a plastic water bottle), and scratched around on it.

Spider was looking like she was having so much fun with the play mat that Trooper and I were a bit concerned we were missing out on something really fun.

That’s ok though, because Spider may have had her play mat, but Trooper and I had Bully Stixs! And with these awesome benefits:

Grain-free chews
Low odor for indoor chewing
Health and safe alternative to rawhide
Naturally supports dental health
Free range, grass fed beef
Gental on the tummy
No artificial preservatives, flavors or colors
No corn, wheat, soy or rice

…mom felt good about letting us snack on them whenever we wanted!

And snack we did!

Sorry Spider, you won’t share your play mat, and we won’t share our Bully Stix! Agree to disagree…..or whatever the saying should be here!

If you want to snatch up some of these goodies and more fun stuff for your favorite pet, be sure to check out Chewy.com. They’re one of our favorite retailers for all things pets! And plus you can get FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $49! (make sure you tell them Ammo sent you!)

What to Do on the 4th of July

Posted on July 4, 2015 by Ammo

Happy 4th of July Furiends!

Don’t lie, we all know this is exactly what you’re doing today! Nothing wrong with that (I’m doing it too….although maybe not the beach part, but I sure wish I was). But I never forget to celebrate the Independence of the good old US of A too!

I’m Team America all the way! Happy Independence Day! xoxo,

When Your Dog Yells at You

Posted on June 26, 2015 by Ammo

Sometimes when you’re a dog you just feel like you’re not being heard. Maybe it’s because humans and dogs don’t always speak the same language, and maybe it’s because they just CHOOSE not to listen to what we’re saying. Regardless, every once in a while I need to make a little noise about it….

So next time your dog “yells” at you, you better pay attention, because we have LOTS TO SAY!

Does your dog bark/yell at you too? What do you think he’s trying to say?

The Dog Toy Your Dog Won't be too tired to play with! via Ammo the Dachshund

My friends over at Chewy.com recently sent me a new toy. The KONG Squeezz Ball with Handle Dog Toy not only squeaks, but it’s perfect for tugging too! And even though it was well past my bed time….there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to take it for a spin.
