Dog Days at the Pool

Dog Days at the Pool

For Father’s Day last weekend I decided to hit up the pool. It was a perfectly hot day, which meant it was a great way to cool off in the summer heat.

Dog Days at the Pool

You may have even noticed my super cool new tank top, gifted to me from my pals at Martha Stewart Pets. I’m sure you can probably guess why I decided to wear it to the pool….

Dog Days at the Pool

….because when I flex it really shows off my guns! Which way to the pool ladies?

Dog Days at the Pool

After floating around for a bit it quickly became evident that there wasn’t going to be any ladies on this particular trip to the pool. Well unless you count mom and my aunts….but they don’t really count at all!

That’s ok though, because the “FEED ME” sign on my back seemed to work pretty well as everyone thought I looked adorable and was happy to toss me a cookie or two while I was floating around. Score 1 for the Martha Stewart Pets Shark Tee!

Eventually all my cousins showed up to play and it was time to strap on my life vest and get to the serious business of swimming!

I even got in some quality time with my dad as I worked on my dog paddling skills.

Swimming is a great calorie burner and I gotta keep up my fit figure for whenever those ladies do decide to show up at the pool!

My most important job of the day though is when I’m put on life guard duty. Someone has to make sure the cousins don’t drown, and when things get out of hand I have no problem barking up a storm to alert everyone of all the “unsafe” antics going on in the water. And despite what mom and dad say, it is not annoying, it’s necessary!

Does your dog enjoy a good pool day?

Easter Treats + A Giveaway

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

When suddenly mom put this pink bunny suit on me I knew something was up (although to be fair, mom does like to dress me up on a regular basis).

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

But this time, this time was different, because it’s almost EASTER! And since I already had my very own bunny suit from Martha Stewart Pets®, I figured I might as well put it to good use. What better way to use a pink bunny suit than to BE the Easter Bunny…I mean how hard can it really be?

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

So I hopped on over to Petsmart® and filled a basket full of Easter goodies from the Martha Stewart Pets Spring Line.

Then I did what any other dog dressed as a bunny would do….I scarfed some carrots (you know, for fuel and all)……

….and dove head first into my Easter basket filled of goodies!

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

Just as I was getting into the swing of things with my new toys, mom reminded me that the real Easter Bunny wouldn’t keep all the toys for himself. Instead he would share them with all the other good little dogs out there.

Gulp. She was right. What had I become?

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

So I hear that this weekend is Valentine’s Day. A day to spend time with those that you love, and show them that you care.

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

So when I got wind that my old fling, Amira, was back in town I knew I was going to have to do something special on February 14th.

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

So I popped over to Petsmart to snag Amira a gift from the Martha Stewart Pets line and set out to profess my love for her.

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

Only Amira is a bit high maintenance…..

….and she just rolled her eyes and said “You better bring me some more toys, because one is not enough for this lady.”

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

Sorry Amira, no girlfriend is worth sharing all my Martha Stewart Pets toys…. you’ll just have to get your own!

Would your dog do the same? Happy Early Valentine’s Day everyone!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

One toy in particular brought out the little devil in me, because of course I’m always the sweetest boy ever, and normally I would NEVER do anything naughty.

But with a little coaxing from my new friend, I decided to scare mom and dad by blending into my new toy pile (just like in the movie E.T.) and popped out just at the right moment to scare them! After all, that’s what Halloween is all about!

Martha Stewart Pets also sent along one of their fun Halloween Costumes too, but since it was a little too snug on me, my friend Bones here decided to help model it.

Bones was looking a little chilly (I think he lost weight), so he was thrilled to have a Vampire costume to help cover him up a bit.

Oh Bones, isn’t Halloween just the greatest?

Martha Stewart Pets Natural Dog Treats Review & Giveaway

Martha Stewart Pets Natural Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Martha Stewart Pets recently came out with a line of Natural Dog Treats available exclusively in Petsmart Stores and online. I was thrilled when I got to test out a few of these goodies from the Treat Shop, because this dog never says no to cookies!

Martha Stewart Pets Natural Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Martha Stewart’s line of treats was inspired by the delicious bakery goodies that humans can’t get enough of. It was discovered during testing that dogs love flavors like Peanut Butter Cookie and Pumpkin Pie just as much as people do! And I can totally confirm that!

The Martha Stewart Pets Natural Dog Biscuits are American-made and contain a simple list of natural ingredients.

The Peanut Butter Cookies were totally calling my name (It’s true, that peanut butter smell makes me go weak in my knees), but they also come in 5 delicious flavors; Cranberry Muffin, Pumpkin Pie, Oatmeal, Banana Bread, and Peanut Butter.

Fall with Martha Stewart

A couple of months ago Trooper and I got the opportunity to have a little fashion show with the new Martha Stewart Fall Pet Line, available at Petsmart.

The end result landed a photo of me on MarthaStewart.com – pretty exciting!

The fact is though, mom took so many fun photos of Trooper and I enjoying our new Martha Stewart products – that we had to share all the others that didn’t make the cut!

Especially since they are the PERFECT thing to put everyone in the Halloweenie mood!

Honestly, what’s more Halloweenie than a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin?

Trooper totally had his eye on the Martha Stewart toys, and I bet he was thinking he’d get to take them home with him after our little photoshoot.

Sorry Trooper, I’ll share my Halloweenie collar with you, but these toys are mine….all mine!

Toy Box

This is what my sad, sad toy box has been looking like lately…

ammo's toy box

See that one lonely toy? Yeah, I’ve had that toy since I was a puppy – it’s in there for a reason – it tastes like plastic, and I don’t like it! And sadly, that was the ONLY toy I had left, well, until mom took me to the toy shop (aka Petsmart) on Saturday!

I picked out 3 toys, well I picked out way more than that, but mom only let me bring home the ones she thought I MIGHT not be able to destroy.

1. Owsley the Owl by Martha Stewart Pets from Petsmart 2. Rope Bone by Martha Stewart Pets from Pestmart 3. JW Pet Company Hol-ee Cuz toy from Petsmart

ammo's new toy

Of course I went straight to work trying to destroy my new toys.

ammo's new toy

My “cuz” toy lost his little legs about an hour later. It had to be done. After all, I didn’t want him walking off in the night now did I?

ammo's new toy

Owsley the Owl safely made it through the night, but by Monday evening I ate both his ears off. He gave me the “dirty owl eye” so I let him have it. And my Rope Bone….still in the packaging, because mom won’t let me have him yet! Whats the fun in getting new toys if your mom won’t let you destroy them anyway. jeesh.

So, what about you? Know of any TOTALLY indestructible dog toys? I bet I could still kill it. Anyone bury their toys instead of destroying them? I’ve tried that too, but it’s just not as fun as the kill.
