Hooray! My 2014 Holiday Card has made it’s way to my online shop along with all my other designs from years past.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

This year I decided to do my own rendition of the classic Christmas song, Jingle Bells.

12 Days of Cheer! Ammo's 2014 Holiday Card // Ammo the Dachshund

Why don’t you sing along with me,

Dashing through the snow
In a one-dog wooden sled
O’er the fields we go
Barking all the way
Bells on collars ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and bark
At all the neighbors tonight!

Happy Holidays!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Mimi Green.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my new friends at Mimi Green sent me one of their Laser Engraved Buckle Collars to test out.

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

With a hole slew of collar patterns, colors, and styles I almost couldn’t decide which one I would like to wear. That is until I spotted this lovely velvet teal color (aka the Zack Collar) and I just knew it would be perfect!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Laser Engraved buckle is a plastic/metal hybrid which is great for dogs of all sizes, but especially smaller breeds because it makes the collar weigh less than a full metal buckle.

And if you’re someone that can’t stand the sound of jingle jangle id tags as your dog runs around the house, you can always forgo them if you like since your dog’s identification is right on the collar!

Mimi Green Engraved Buckle Collar Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

While a velvet collar is probably not optimal on the farm (as it may collect a little too much “farm”), I just couldn’t help but take my new Mimi Green Collar for a fun farm photoshoot.

The pretty teal color just popped out there! And their velvet collars also come in lots of other fun colors.
