My Latest Shopping Treasures

It’s no secret that I love to shop for the latest and greatest dog products, evident by my weekly blog feature, Friday Fetch. So when I actually get a chance to test some of these products out myself convince mom she has to buy me something, I love to share my experiences with my fans.

Ammo the Dachshund // Molly Mutt // Found My Animal

I always seem to be in the need for a new dog bed, mostly because I like to chew on my bed at work. Don’t tell my mom, but really I chew them up because I can’t wait to pick out a new duvet cover from one of my favorite companies, Molly Mutt.

I love Molly Mutt because the dog bed duvet covers are oh so stylish, and mom says she loves them because she doesn’t have to pay for an entire new dog bed when I go on one of my chewing frenzies. So I guess you’d call it a win-win.

My next purchase of the week was a leash made by Found My Animal, because a dog can never have too many leashes.

Ammo the Dachshund // Molly Mutt // Found My Animal

Mom purchased this leash through the new deal site LeLePets at a discounted price. It caught my eye because it was a little bit different than the average dog walking device. Yes it is bright orange (probably wouldn’t have been my first color choice though but it was the only thing available through LeLePets), but it also comes adorned with a stamped tag.

I’ve always been a fan of the rope leashes (probably because they are reminiscent of a pony lead rope, and you all know how I love ponies), and this one even has a few extra goodies up it’s sleeve.

Instead of being a fixed handle at the end it has a clip that can be attached to two different rings, creating a larger or smaller loop. Mom thought this would be great when she needs to “park me” at a tree, or perhaps during a therapy dog visit. I mostly thought it would come in handy so I could attach myself to the paddle board should I go overboard again on our next lake outing.

Either way, this new leash attachment has already proven to be very functional.

Overall I give both this week’s purchases two paws up – hopefully I’ll be back soon to share some more pet products I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. I just have to get my sad puppy eyes warmed up to use on mom…..I have my eye on some new fall sweaters! Ammo the Dachshund

 

*Disclosure: I was not paid or perked to share these products with you. Both items were fully purchased.

Sitting on the Bench

Yesterday mom and I snuck out a bit early from work and headed out to the farm. I love spending time on the farm, but because of my recent injury I can’t do all the fun stuff I normally enjoy. Sigh.

Ammo the Dachshund // On the Farm

So instead of tagging along with Mom and Blitz and Boomer when they trailered out to ride in the Laurels Preserve I had to wait at the farm in the tack room until they came back.

Lucky for me my pal Trooper stayed to keep me company. He looks thrilled doesn’t he?

We ended up getting to play on the farm late into the wee hours of the night, which is always a treat.

So late in fact that when darkness settled around us we broke out our Glowdoggie LED Collars.

However, I was quite disappointed when mom told me that Trooper and I couldn’t play lightsabers on account of my boo boo. Sigh. How much longer do I have to sit on the bench? Ammo the Dachshund

Even Heroes aren’t Invincible

Yes, it’s true, I may be a super hero but even heroes have accidents and over the weekend I had a little accident myself on the farm. See I was having a grand time playing chase with my pal Trooper when something punctured my side. I’m not sure if it was Trooper’s claw, or perhaps a fence board – on account of I was running way too fast to know for sure.

Ammo the Dachshund gets a boo boo

Regardless it definitely hurt!

Dad brought some medical supplies from home out to the farm so I could get my boo boo doctored up (on account of it was Sunday and my vet’s office wasn’t  open…not to mention it wasn’t a “medical emergency” per say….I’m a pretty tough dude).

Ammo the Dachshund gets a boo boo

I tried to be brave while I was bandaged up, but I was more upset that fun time with Trooper for the day was over.

I had to spend the rest of my day resting quietly in the car while mom did the farmwork without me, but upon returning home activities resumed pretty much as normal – even if I did look like I was a victim of a magician’s saw act gone wrong.

Mom says we’ll be taking a trip to the vet today, just to be sure my wound is healing properly…..my paws are crossed they still let me go to agility this afternoon. I can’t wait to tell my agility friends about my battle wound!

I’ll be sure to update all my fans on my facebook page as to the status of my Dr’s visit, but have no fear, I’m sure I’ll be back to my regular adventures in no time!

UPDATE: The vet checked me over, and I didn’t even need stitches! Apparently super heroes are super awesome at healing themselves, and I even got to attend my agility class!Ammo the Dachshund

If you Dig, I will Come

Trooper’s new house on the farm has officially been started, and the digging of the foundation is my favoritest part!

Reminds me of how much fun I had on the farm when the barn was being built a few years ago.

Apparently you’re never too old to play in the mud!

Although, this time I hope the story ends a little better for me than it did when I was a pup. Ammo the Dachshund

Friday Fetch: RESQ CO Rope Dog Leash

Perhaps it’s because I grew up on a farm that I have a strong love for leather and rope – and when those two things combine in the form of a dog leash, call me in love.

Sweet Hole-digging Heaven!

Oh sweet glorious day! You’ll never guess what showed up on the farm!

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

You are gonna pee your pants in excitement, just like I did!

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

It’s a backhoe!! As in, ground hogs watch out, I’ve hit the hole-digging jackpot.

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

I’m totally serious when I say this (just look at my face), this is like the greatest day ever!

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

Only one problem, I can’t find the keys.

Ammo the Dachshund - Hole Digging Heaven - Backhoe on the Farm

I asked mom for the keys, but she said that I wasn’t allowed to operate heavy machinery without my helmet – not to mention that the backhoe was for building Trooper’s new house, not for digging groundhog hunting holes. I tried to reason with her that Trooper would be thankful I used the backhoe to rid his future home-site of those pesky critters, but it was no use.

So it’s off to plan B. Does anyone know how to hot wire a backhoe? Ammo the Dachshund

Quiet Days on the Farm

Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.

Custom Pet Paintings – Ponies and Dogs Oh My!

You might remember a couple of months ago when I introduced my little Super Hero on the Wall – a commissioned painting of yours truly by Kim at Yellow Brick Home.

Minnow the Painting Pony painting by Kim @ Yellow Brick Home - via Ammo the Dachshund

Well, as it turns out, my Painting Pony pals were a wee bit jealous – so never ones to be left out, mom ordered some custom paintings of them too.

Minnow rocked the blue canvas as he reared high into the air – such a classic Minnow pose.

Blitz and Boomerang, the inseparable brothers (who couldn’t even be separated for the painting), looked extra cute on their lime green canvas. Boomerang even flashed his famous smile.

I don’t know about you, but I think we make one big happy family!

I do have a secret to tell you though…….as much as I love ALL of the paintings…..I do have a favorite……can you guess which one it is? Ammo the Dachshund

 

You can get your own custom pet paintings from Kim @ Yellow Brick Home (make sure you tell her the cutest Super Hero EVER sent you!)

Imagination Hat – The Return of Super Ammo

As you may already know, I’m on an imagination adventure while my pal Minnow the Painting Pony is performing at Pony Penning all week with my mom. On tuesday I went to outer space, wednesday I went under the sea, thursday I went to Dinosaur Land and today I’m back on the moon as myself – Super Ammo!

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

I think out of all the places I’ve been this week the moon has been my favorite.

I love looking at the stars, and I even got to make a few wishes on the shooting ones.

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

I’m sure you can probably guess what I’ve been wising for – for my mom and Minnow to return home soon – because as much fun as I’ve been having with my imagination hat, I do still miss my real life adventures with mom and Minnow.

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

Dad says not to worry though, because they will be home TONIGHT!

Ammo the Dachshund - Super Hero - On the Moon

I probably should prepare a welcome home party, or hang a banner, or bake a cake, but honestly I’m having way too much fun on the moon right now – and I’m pretty sure my wagging tail and kisses will be more than enough for a welcome home celebration! (I wag a mean tail).

I hope you all enjoyed coming along with me and my imagination hat – I had so much fun that I think I’ll definitely have to have some more adventures with it soon! Ammo the Dachshund
