Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

As you know on Sunday I celebrated my 6th Birthday by attending the Yuengling Oktoberfest Dachshund Races. Well when I go home later that day I got to do my very favorite part of Birthdays…..opening my presents!

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m such a lucky dog to have so many presents to open, some from my mom and dad and some from some very sweet businesses!

I’m pretty much an expert at unwrapping gifts……my skills even landed me in a google commercial a few christmases ago! Check out how fast I am at unwrapping my gifts in the video below.

So just what did I score? Well mom and dad got me this handy Love Thy Beast Tote (that is plenty big enough for a 20lb dachshund like me), an Emergency First Aid Kit for the car, and this Indestructible Dog Toy (we’ll see how long it lasts with my choppers).

My friends at Mattie & Margot also sent me some spiffy new collars that are perfect for fall and my pals over at Chewy.com sent me a package of Grandma Lucy’s Organic Blueberry Treats.

Grandma Lucy’s Treats smelled delicious and even looked like cute little teddy grahams. Full disclosure here, my dad thought they smelled so good that he tried them himself – and considering the ingredients are human grade, and made with no By-Products, no artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors, I’m not surprised that he found them very tasty.

But sorry dad, I don’t plan on sharing – you’ll just have to snag your own from Chewy.com.

My new friends over at My Fabulous Puppy also sent me one of their handmade sweaters. It’s cute and snuggly and perfect for fall!

So thanks to everyone who made my Birthday extra special – I can’t believe I have to wait another whole YEAR before I can celebrate again!

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day!

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

Last week we got not one but two snowstorms in Pennsylvania! Did you know that I absolutely love snow?

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

It might be cold and wet, but nothing beats plowing your way through the white fluffy stuff.

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

I wore my Noodle & Friends coat, my sparkly holiday collar from Mattie & Margot (for holiday cheer purposes), and I even slapped on a pair of Pawz booties mom had found at goodwill for me to test them out in the snow.

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

The Pawz boots may not have really kept my feet any warmer, but they did keep out any snow or salt. Plus they just looked cute because they matched my jacket!

12 Days of Cheer! Snow Day with Ammo the Dachshund

And as you can see they didn’t slow me down any in the snow!

Does your dog enjoy the snow as much as I do?

He’s silly and fun, and always knows how to have a good time. Plus he’s so much fun to wrestle with!

He’s great at keeping secrets, even if I’m not so great at keeping them.

We’re different, but the same, and I couldn’t be happier to have a best friend to grow old with.

P.S. Thanks to Mattie & Margot for sending along some matching best friend collars for me and my pal Trooper! Because best friends should always look stylish together!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

Have you heard of Mattie & Margot? If not, then you are missing out my friend. Makers of stylish handmade dog collars, Mattie & Margot carry every color under the sun, and they’re just what I needed to brighten up my summer!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

I purchased one of Mattie & Margot’s Mystery Collars (in yellow) and received this sunny Yellow Gold collar – isn’t it happy? With their Mystery Collars you can choose a color range for $16 or let it be a total surprise for $12 – what a great deal!

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

And because Rachael (the expert sewing machine operator behind Mattie & Margot) knew that us farm dogs always need a back-up collar, she sent along this snazzy Bluebird/Navy Collar too.

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m still not sure which one I will stink up first on the farm, it’s a tough call.

Mattie & Margot Collars // Ammo the Dachshund

I was looking so fine in my new collars that my kitty pal Spider got a little jealous. Too bad for her they don’t come in kitty sizes!

But for all you canines out there, I’m sure there’s a Mattie & Margot Collar just for you, they even come in a new miniature size! Which one would you choose?

Outfitting a Super Hero with CafePress

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Ammo

You might remember a few weeks ago when the fine folks over at CafePress offered up a giveaway to one of my lucky readers. Well they also offered me a chance to take some of their custom products for a spin too – so I’m back to share with you just what I ordered.

So I browsed through their custom items and decided to try out their small round pet id tag and some 2.25″ buttons.

With the help of my personal designers (mom and dad) I used the Cafepress design tool and uploaded my logo for the pet tag and buttons. You can opt to upload an image or enter you own text and shapes with their design tools. I decided not to make my tag an “identification tag”, but instead just a little something something to add bling to my super hero outfit when I perform.

After uploading my designs for each item I checked them to make sure they would look right and not be cut off at all on the products.

Then a few short days later my custom items arrived in the mail! Yippee!

The pet tag came with a tiny clasp on it, but my hefty collar from Mattie & Margot was a bit too large for it to fit on. This was easily remedied with a Rubit clip (which I use on all my id tags anyway) that I had laying around the house.

So I pinned on my new button (which probably mom and dad will end up wearing most of the time – but I wanted to be the first to try it)….

….and snapped on my new tag to add that special bling bling to my Super Hero outfit.

You also may notice that I am wearing my gold letter A, which was the clear winner when I asked all of you which embroidered patch I should add to my costume! I agree, the gold is just the right color – thanks to everyone who weighed in with their vote.

I’m now ready for my big performance this month at the Spring Doxie Fest! I hope you’ll come meet me and see how stellar I look with all my new custom designed CafePress items!

You can get your own customized products at Cafepress, and you’ll find millions of one-of-a-kind designs on every topic you can imagine like dachshund jewelry, pet bowls, and gifts for dog lovers.

I received some cafepress products to review on my blog, but all opinions are entirely my own.
