Hiking through the Forrest

Hiking through the Forrest // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I went on a fun hiking adventure with my pal Shilah the Husky. Shilah and I both like to get out an be adventurous when the weather is nice, so we decided to practice our hiking for an upcoming camping trip we will be going on this summer.

Shilah led the way most of the time because she’s ALWAYS gotta be the lead “sled dog”, but I was happy to trail along behind and pick up on all the scents she missed.

We got muddy.

We got wet.

And we enjoyed every minute of it.

And when we hit the open fields….

…I told Shilah to fall back, because I was in the lead now! And I had caught the scent of a rabbit!

And nobody’s better at tracking rabbits than me!

What kind of adventures did you go on this past weekend?

Don’t worry, no rabbits were harmed. (this time)Ammo the Dachshund

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

As with every spring’s arrival I am always anxiously awaiting the visit from a special bunny to my house!

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

This year was special because I got a visit from the Barkbox Bunny! While I was sleeping on Easter Eve the Barkbox bunny delivered my monthly box of goodies so that I would have something to open on Easter morning!

Mom made me wait until my cousins and Trooper came over on Easter to open it, and I happily shared all my treats with the ones I love.

My April Barkbox was filled with lots of goodies fit for an outdoor adventure. How did they know that I love adventures!?

I went to town right away gnawing in my Barkworthies bully stick (one of my favorites).

I also enjoyed the Mr. Barksmith’s frozen carrot cake smoothie. Those bunnies are so sweet to share their carrots with me!

The Quaker Pet Group toy provided hours of entertainment for me on Easter morning and Trooper and I had fun racing around the backyard with it.

My Barkbox also contained a package of Etta Says duck treats and some Complete Natural Nutrition grain-free campfire treats. Can you say yum!

While I hear the “Barkbox Bunny” is on vacation until next Spring, you can still fetch your pet a Barkbox subscription and save 10% off with code AMMO5 and as a bonus this month Barkbox is donating $1 – $5 from every subscription sold to an animal rescue in need!

After my own easter basket fun it was time to help my human cousins go on their egg hunt.

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

Unfortunately I had to stay on my leash because mom said I would find all the eggs before my cousins got a chance to.

Now what fun is an easter egg hunt if you don’t let the dog with the best sniffer do all the hunting?

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t worry, I still shouted out clues as to where to find them! Those kids would be lost without me!

After a good easter meal with family I retired to the basement where I let my cousins dress me up. Apparently they thought it was extra fashionable to wear super hero undies and a buret.

Easter with the Barkbox Bunny // Ammo the Dachshund

Although I’m not quite sure it was as fashionable as they thought after I got all those snickers from Trooper. (maybe he’s just jealous!)

I had quite the fabulous Easter and as you can imagine I slept very very well that night.

How did your pup celebrate the Easter holiday?

Sawdust

Working Late on the Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

The last few weeks I’ve been busy helping with construction at the farm – most specifically the site of Trooper’s new house.

Working Late on the Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

From helping to install insulation…..

Working Late on the Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

…to helping to make cuts on the table saw, I’ve pretty much become a house building expert! (don’t worry, I don’t actually use the saw, I simply bark at the operators to not cut off a limb!)

Working Late on the Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper on the other hand is becoming quite skilled at holding boards in need of nailing. He may or may not be sneaking off with a few that he “claims” need shortening with the help of a few skilled gnaws!

Working Late on the Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

When I signed up to help build this house I really was not informed about just how many hours it actually takes to build a house from the ground up. It’s a good thing Trooper brought along his construction bed, because I must admit it has come in handy during long work hours on the farm.

Working Late on the Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

Working into the wee hours of the night to keep the house building on schedule is apparently now in my job description.

With a few power naps tossed in here and there.

Don’t worry though, Trooper and I are quite good at encouraging our workers to KEEP WORKING when it comes down to it!

Working Late on the Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

And thankfully due to our hard work progress is moving along rather quickly now, with the drywall installation going in just this past weekend!

Working Late on the Farmhouse // Ammo the Dachshund

Yup, definitely starting to look like a real house now! I’ve already “marked” my bedroom for when Trooper lets me sleep over.

Toys for Ponies & Dogs

Toys for Ponies & Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

My ponies recently got a new toy to play with in their pasture.

Toys for Ponies & Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom fills it with bits of hay and horse treats, and the ponies proceed to bite, kick, and roll it around the pasture in the hopes that one will eventually pop out of the hole.

It was quite obvious they had no idea what they were doing. So being that I’m so well versed in the art of interactive toys, I offered to show them how it’s done.

Alright fine, I rolled and kicked it too! Apparently pony toys are built to last!

Dogtails Shampoo Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

When my new friends over at Dogtails sent me a sample of their natural clarifying dog shampoo little did I know that I would be needing it so soon.

My adventures in groundhog hunting on the farm inevitably landed me in the tub as soon as I got home!

Dogtails Shampoo Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Bathtime isn’t always my favorite thing to do, but when you have a good shampoo that can get you squeaky clean in no time it makes it that much more bare-able. Plus the bottle had a picture of a dachshund on it….so I knew it was meant to be!

A little bit of shampoo went a long way, and as you could see from my instagram video, a quarter sized amount of soap got all that crud out of my fur.

Miss-Flo Custom Made Dog Harnesses

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

A couple of weeks ago my new pal Flo, from Miss-Flo, sent me one of her mom’s custom made harness and leash sets. And boy was I excited when it showed up in one of my favorite colors – teal!

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I’ve never been a big fan of harnesses that have straps between the legs because they feel restricting, and it can be quite difficult to find a well-made harness that just sits across the chest.

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

These Miss-Flo harnesses are custom made to fit each dog, so you know it will be the perfect size for your own furry friend. As you can see mine fits me like a glove, and I like that the buckle is adjustable (should I ever eat too many cookies).

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

My Miss-Flo harness even came with a matching leash which boasted one of those extra strong snaps – because you can never be too careful when it comes to walking your pup! It also has a little metal loop by the handle to tie poop bags to or even snap a set of keys onto.

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

One of my favorite things about this harness was the velvety soft fabric that was against my skin. All of Miss Flo’s harnesses (and even the leash handles) are lined with velvet and they come in a variety of color choices too. Never again do I have to worry about my harness rubbing me in the wrong places, because believe me when I say this stuff is oh-so-soft!

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

Armed in my new harness I set off to roam my neighborhood – well and mostly just show off to all the neighbor dogs how really really good looking I was in it.

You may have already noticed me wearing my new harness in some of my other blog and Facebook posts, as I’ve been wearing it everywhere lately – it’s that comfortable!

Recovering an Ottoman with a Helping Paw

Posted on by

Easter Egg Hunt for the Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

This is my sunroom, my favorite room in the whole house. (Don’t mind the easter eggs and the snow outside – this was taken earlier this year). I spend a lot of time in here, since it’s got the best view! See that ottoman in the middle, well I also spend a lot of time on that sunbathing. Which is also the reason why mom decided that the fabric needed to be changed (on account of my “sometimes” muddy paws).

Now I’m no stranger to furniture restorations, I’ve helped mom repaint chairs, and dressers – but this would be my first fabric recover!

Furniture Restoration // Ammo the Dachshund

So mom broke out the tools, but that’s not really how this Dachshund rolls – especially when you have some built-in tools of your own…..

And thanks to me, about an hour later I was looking at my brand-new ottoman!

Covered with a charcoal grey sunbrella fabric, mom says it’s designed to take a bit more of a beating than what was previously on it.
