So incase you thought I already had a huge compilation of napping positions and spots…..you haven’t seen anything yet! Boring is not in my vocabulary, so without further ado, here’s my napping spots this past month…

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 1

Posted on by

Dogs tend to sleep between 12 – 14 hours a day, and considering that makes up the majority of our day, we sometimes have to get a little creative with our napping spots. It could get quite boring if you slept the same way hour after hour, so I like to vary it up a little each time. So here’s a collection of some of my favorite ways to take a nap throughout the day!

What Best Dog Friends Do

Dachshund Snuggles with Best Friend // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend my best friend Trooper came over to spend the day with me.

It’s been a long time since we’ve spent the ENTIRE day together, so we had a lot of catching up to do.

Mostly we had a lot of snuggling to catch up on!

Afternoon Nap

Sometimes I like to find a nice sunny spot to dose in for an enjoyable afternoon nap.

Afternoon naps are simply the best, but as I slowly begin to awake….

…I come face to face with the lens of a camera!

Frankly it’s a bit creepy!

Kentucky Bluebird Kennel Bed Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Kentucky Bluebird.

Did you ever just want to curl up and take a nap on the fluffiest, softest thing you can find? Well thanks to my pals at Kentucky Bluebird, your search for the fluffiest napping spot is over!

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kentucky Bluebird kindly sent me over one of their 100% certified organic canvas dog beds to take for a spin, and let me tell you, this thing is like napping on a cloud! The insides of these beds are stuffed with recycled polyester fill, and are securely stitched into place – so even the most powerful diggers (ahem, me) can’t tear them apart.

I was sent a 28″ x 18″ bed in fern green, but these beds come in lots of sizes and 9 different colors, and can even be custom made to any size you need.

My Kentucky Bluebird bed fit perfectly into a dog kennel that I already owned.

Don’t have a kennel? These can just as easily be used as dog bed in any room, and I even think it would be great to travel with as it’s just big enough for me to curl up on but not too big to take up a ton of space.

As you can see it’s 6″ of fluff was so comfortable that I had trouble even keeping my eyes open long enough for mom to take pictures.

Mom even caught me napping in my crate several times over the past few weeks with this fluffy bed. And if you know me, you know this is VERY RARE, because I don’t particularly love being in crates.

Take Your Dog to Work Day

Posted on by

This past Friday was Take Your Dog to Work Day, but for me it was no different than any other day, because I work most days with my mom in her custom frame shop.

But, I decided to play the part anyway and instead of my usual sunbathing by the front door I threw on my glasses and helped mom with the picture framing.

Choosing picture frames is no easy task, but it’s a good thing I have a great eye for design!

I picked out some colorful mouldings that would look super awesome on one of my Dream Big Prints.

I must admit, I worked pretty darn hard and I’m pretty sure I should get a raise. Please add 4 more cookies to my daily wages mom! Ammo the Dachshund

Average Day

Not all of my days are as adventurous as the next.

Sometimes I wake to find that today will just be an average day.

Quiet and calm.

Some might even say boring.

It’s days like these that I get to rest up for my next big adventure. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Plus I really enjoy napping. Ammo the Dachshund

The Buddy System

My Monday post today is a bit later than normal – and that’s because when I woke up this morning it was gorgeous outside! So nice in fact, that after spending all morning on the farm my best buddy Trooper came over to spend the afternoon with me.

We told jokes, and laughed and laughed.

And we looked for critters in the back yard.

Then we napped.

And napped.

And then we napped some more.

But I realized something after my afternoon with Trooper.

Napping is so much better when you implement the Buddy System. 

Cat Nap

Posted on by

My new pal Spider may still be young, but one thing is for sure, she’s definitely mastered the cat nap. Bravo Spider, Bravo.

I very much look forward to some “cat naps” in the sun at the farm with my girls, Cricket and Spider.
