Friday Fetch: Placemats for Pets

Posted on January 16, 2015 by Ammo

Ok, I admit it, us dogs can be kinda messy when it comes to feeding time. While I personally eat every little scrap of food my mom and dad give me – I do tend to leave puddles of water all over the floor! So when I stumbled across these unique pet placemats I just knew I had to share them with you!

Check out these intricate designs from Wildly Wald.

10 Fall Sweaters that Fit Dachshunds

Posted on November 12, 2014 by Ammo

While I know not everyone who reads my blog owns a dog of the long and short sausage type. But I think it’s safe to say that a lot of you probably do. So in an effort to help out my fellow short legged/long backed friends out there I gathered up a few of my favorite sweaters that work well for dachshunds! Mostly because fall sweaters are just so much fun!

And even if you don’t have a dachshund, many of these would work on lots of other breeds as well!

10 Sweaters that Fit Dachshunds

1. Warm Weenies

Handmade in Missouri, I personally have owned one of these handmade sweaters – and it looks like they now sell patterns so you can make your own too!

2. My Fabulous Puppy

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

While not specifically designed for dachshunds, the sweaters at My Fabulous Puppy seem to fit quite well – with many of their up-cycled designed geared towards the longer bodied dogs.

3. By Chance Designs

Ammo the Dachshund // Birthday Wrap-Up

With lots of fun, handmade cable knits this sweater remains one of my favorites!

4. What’s Up Dox

Whats Up Dox Dachshund Sweaters

While I haven’t specifically tried these fleece sweaters, it looks like they are the perfect fit for Dachshunds!

5. Noodle and Friends

Noodle and Friends Stroodle // Ammo the Dachshund

These noodle and friends fleece sweaters are the perfect thing to lounge around the house in and are also great for layering under heavier jackets when it gets really cold.

6. My Canine Kids

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This fleece sweater is great because it’s adjustable so it’s perfect for a growing puppy or a dog who’s weight may fluctuate.

7. Houndz in the Hood

Houndz in the Hood // Dachshund sweater

While I’ve never tried any sweaters from this line, it looks like they have the long-backed dogs in mind!

8. Voyagers K9

These custom fleece sweaters can be made to fit any sized dog, and mine has lasted me for many many years!

9. Dachshund Delights

Dachshund Delights Sweaters

I’ve never tried the line of sweaters from Dachshund Delights, but they do look especially cozy!

10. Puppy Love

Dachshund Sweater

Again, not one I’ve personally tested, but these sweaters look oh-so-snuggly and the perfect fit for wiener dogs!

So what do you think, ready to wrap your wiener dog up in something warm? Any sweaters to add to my list?

Quick and Simple Tug Toy for Dogs

Posted on November 6, 2014 by Ammo

Valentine's Day DIY Flirt Pole - interactive dog toy // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember that back in February my mom helped me make a Flirt Pole. If you’ve never heard of a Flirt Pole, its basically a cat toy for dogs.

And if you or your dog have never played with one before, let me tell you, it’s seriously the most fun toy EVER! I could play with one of these ALL DAY LONG.

And since I’ve gotten so much use out of my Flirt Pole at home (and still do), mom decided to make me a quick and simple one to use at the shop as well. So after gathering up a few supplies that were laying around the shop I made another easy version of the flirt pole in less than 5 minutes.

Simple and Quick DIY Tug Toy for Dogs

Supplies:

PVC Pipe
Rope
Fleece or Dog Toy
Electric Drill
Scissors

And since this project is so simple, I’ll just let the photos speak for themselves….

Simple and Quick DIY Tug Toy for Dogs

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some tugging to do!

For more detailed instructions on how to make a Flirt Pole, check out my post from February. DIY not your thing? Check out this fun Flirt Pole from the Bark Shop.

Halloween Adventures with an American Icon

So seeing as how we’re just a few short days away from Halloween (or Halloweenie as I like to call it), I decided it was time to officially share my costume for this year. As you might already know, I’ve made it my mission each year to come up with a handmade costume (with some help from my mom and dad) – and this year was no exception!
