I’ve finished packing…
…and loaded up all the necessities (which includes my pal Trooper), because I’m off on another adventure!
A road-trip of epic proportions (where it might be a wee bit warmer than Pennsylvania).
And when I return I’m sure I will have some amazing stories to share with all of you. Adventure Awaits!
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends a few days early, I can’t wait to stuff my face on Thursday!
Do you have a guess where I might be headed? 
Last week a box filled with packing materials made its way into the shop.
Since I’m never one to pass up the opportunity to play in a box (don’t knock it until you try it!), I wasted no time in jumping right in.
Then I had a thought! Hey mom, since I’m already all packed up you might as well ship me to the nearest pet store. I’ll make sure to tell them to ship me back before dinner!
Happy Shipping and Receiving Day!
Last year I shared a collection of what I packed for a summer camping trip to the beach with my pal Shilah the Husky. Well this year I’m back to share my new packing list for a camping trip to the mountains that I’m taking with Shilah this upcoming weekend!
While I tend to pack a lot of the same things each time I head on a camping trip – there are a few things extra that I throw in when headed to the mountains (where I plan to do some hiking and water-related activities).
So here’s a list of a few of the things I plan to pack this weekend:

I’m very much looking forward to doing a bit of this soon….
So what do you think? Anything I’m forgetting to pack?

Last year for Thanksgiving I headed south to North Carolina to visit family. My road trip was so much fun that I’ve decided it was time for another adventure this Thanksgiving. So today I’m on my way (with Trooper too) to Charleston, South Carolina for a couple of days of fun with my family!
I’m sure my days will be filled with lots of adventure, I’m especially looking forward to playing on the beach with Trooper! Don’t worry, when I return I’ll be sure to fill you in on all the fun I’ve had, but in the meantime I’ll be sure to post pictures of my road trip on Facebook and Instagram as I travel.
And if anyone knows any fun dog-friendly adventures in and around the Charleston, South Carolina area post them in the comments section!
I’ve meticulously packed my bag with everything I might need for my trip. You can check out what I typically pack for a road-trip, and I always make sure to store the phone numbers for emergency vets in mom’s phone as well as bringing along my DIY Pet First Aid Kit.
I was also super excited when just in time for my trip my November Barkbox showed up at my door.
Packed full of goodies perfect for a Thanksgiving feast of my own I could hardly wait to dig right in!
Mom even set aside these Turkey chews for Trooper and I to have on Thanksgiving day!
Of course she let me have a little goodie before the trip to wet my whistle – even the dental chews were mighty tasty.
So if you want to pick a little goodie from Barkbox for your furry friend, you can get $5 off any new BarkBox subscription with code AMMO5
Disclosure: I received a Barkbox in exchange for my review. But all opinions are my own and I really think they’re great!
Over the weekend I went on a mini 3-day vacation to Cape May, New Jersey. While the main purpose of the trip was to soak up some sun at the beach (which I will get to in another post), I also got to log some camping hours – which is one of my favorite things to do!
My friend Shilah the Husky decided to come on this trip with me too – and it was to be her very first camping trip.
Shilah and I waited patiently for the cars to be packed, and oversaw that everything necessary made it into our caravan (squeaky toys, dog food, and cookies of course).
Then we loaded up the tightly packed car and made the 2 1/2 hour trip to Cape May, New Jersey.
We arrived at our dog friendly campsite at Seashore Campsites in Cape May. This campground was a bit more modernized than where I’m used to camping, with activity centers, snack shops, pools and swimming lakes (all of which do not allow dogs to enter), but I did spot lots of other friendly dog campers.
I even met this friendly dachshund named Theo!
Most of the campsites were under lots of wooded trees, which made it quite comfortable to camp even in the summer, although the camping areas were pretty tightly packed – making it a little difficult to find open areas for a dog to do his business.
I prefer a little more of a rustic camping experience personally, but I suppose to my fellow 2 legged campers it was nice to have warm showers nearby. (They can’t rough it like I can!)
My pal Shilah took to camping quite well considering this was her first experience. I even let her borrow my x-pen to make her trip a little more comfortable.
Shilah and I took our camp dog duties very seriously, and we guarded the area from any possible intruders. Ok well maybe guarding isn’t the right word when all we did was stare at passerby’s and wag our tails – but it was fun nonetheless!
One of my favorite things about camping is getting to sleep in a tent with my family. Something about being in nature is just so relaxing to me.
It also helps if you bring a comfy sleeping bag incase it gets chilly at night!
When it came time to head home from our weekend adventure I was sad to go – but I know I’ll be putting up my tent again soon, because this dog loves a good camping trip!
Tomorrow I’ll be back to share some more of the fun I had in Cape May!
One of my favorite summertime adventures with my family is to go camping, and as luck would have it this weekend I did just that! You may have caught a glimpse of my outdoor activities this weekend on Instagram and Facebook, and while I promise a full recap of all my camping related fun, today I’d thought I’d share how I pack for a camping trip.
Ammo’s Must Have Summer Camping Gear:
The key to summer camping with your four-legged companion is to make sure you bring plenty of items to keep them cool in the heat. During the day you can also choose camping activities that involve water (like swimming, kayaking, or boating) or shade (like hiking in the woods or geocaching). And when in doubt, wait for a cooler month to go on a camping adventure.
Happy Camping!
