Over here on the Ammo the Dachshund blog we’re wiener dog lovers (if you haven’t already guessed). So when I stumbled across the fun Dachshund Inspired Toy Baskets from Grets Pet Shop I just knew I had to share them with you!
You can fetch these fun handmade toy baskets from Grets Pet Shop for about $30.

Ok, so I know you probably think of me as this big brave Super Hero, and I am! But sometimes I come up against some unexpected evil that throws me for a loop. And that evil is called House Fly.
As much as I hate to admit it, I spend many hours hiding in the shop from these horrible creatures that find their way inside.
Mom tries her best to catch those darn flies that make my life a nightmare, but sometimes there is just one that seems to outsmart every capture device there is. So I finally decided to dog-up and fight back…
Well unfortunately that House Fly lived to fight another day! Until we meet again nemesis, this time I’m ready for you!
Does your dog have any irrational fears like me?
So I’ve finally decided what I’m going to be for Halloween, but you’re going to have to wait just a little longer until I reveal it! Why is that? Well, not only do I love making you sit in suspense, but I also always go the DIY route when it comes to my costumes. Every year mom breaks out the sewing machine hot glue gun and helps me custom make something super unique…and totally me!
So while my own costume is going to take some time to get ready, I thought you might enjoy these 10 Awesome Handmade Pet Costumes that you could make for your pet too!
3. Trophy Dog
6. Snifferlla
10. Michael Jackson
These are some pretty cool costumes, hope I can top them!
Incase you forgot what I was for Halloween the past few years you can check them out here:
Have you ever handmade a costume for your dog? Post the pictures to my Facebook page because I’d LOVE to see it! (maybe you’ll even make next year’s DIY round-up!)
It’s interesting how my sleeping habits change with the seasons. You’ll notice in this next installment of “Oh The Places You Sleep” that I’m not sleeping outside as much now that the weather has cooled, and I’ve gotten much more creative in where I’m finding warmth! I’m sure you’re going to love this month’s napping spots!
Which napping spot is your favorite this month?

It’s that time of year when the ghosts and goblins begin to come out, or in my case, the witches! Since I’m sure you want to help your pets get into the Halloween Spirit too, my friends over at Martha Stewart Pets® have launched their brand new Halloween line to help you get started!
From toys to treats and adorably cute costumes, these are the kinds of pet products that get me super excited for Halloween.
You may have caught a sneak peak of some of the Halloween toys that made their way to my house on my Birthday. They have quickly become my new best friends!
There’s a great mix of Halloween themed toys in the Martha Stewart Pets® line at Petsmart® that’s perfect for every dog. From tough rope toys…
…to super cute plush squeaky toys…
…and even floppy tug toys! This little fox is actually my very favorite from the line, I’m a master tugger that’s for sure.
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!
The Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Line not only has spooky toys, but they also have some adorable pet bowls too.
They’re all adorable, but I have to say the Eyeball Pet Bowl is my favorite!
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?
If you’d like to help your pet get into the Halloween Spirit, you can snag these goodies and more from the Martha Stewart Pets Line available exclusively in Petsmart stores and online!

One of my favorite things about Birthday Week is having the chance to look back over my past year of life. As sad as my mom and dad are that I’m another year older, it’s always fun to reminice about all the amazing adventures I had over the past year. And boy did I have a lot of adventures!
So just like last year, my mom helped me compile a video to highlight some of my favorite adventures from my 6th year! So if you’ve got 10 minutes, you’ll definitely want to watch this video filled of happy memories.
This concludes my week of Birthday Fun! I’ll just have to wait until next year to celebrate again. Incase you missed some of the excitement, here’s a recap:
Until next year friends! Happy Birthday to me!
It wouldn’t be Birthday Week without taking a look back at what life was like for me when I was just a young pup.
7 years ago I was meeting my family for the first time, and the best part is that it was all caught on camera! The quality may not be great, but I’m so glad my mom and dad were able to capture these special memories.
So here’s a fun little video with a look back on some of the very first days with my family (including some never-before-seen footage!).
My mom and dad had a blast last night looking through old footage of me as a puppy. Their only regret is there isn’t more!
Do you have adorable puppy videos of your dog? Post them on my Facebook Page because my mom says she’d love to spend her ENTIRE day looking at cute puppies!
Birthday Week isn’t over yet my friends! We’re just getting started! Today I’ve got a super fun tutorial for some DIY Art you can make to brighten up your own home.
This DIY Dog Bone Art is easy to make, and so fun and cheerful too!

Step 1: Choose 2 milkbones and spray paint with your favorite color
Step 2: Optionally you may choose to paint your frame the same color as well, or leave it as is.
Step 3: Once your paint is dry, remove the glass from your frame and add either a piece of colored mat board (which is what we used) or some colored paper. If you use colored paper make sure it’s glued down to something stiffer like a piece of cardboard.
Step 4: Using an adhesive, glue your milkbones in place on the frame.
Step 5: Hang and enjoy!
Just remember, even though your milkbones are now painted, they still smell like cookies to us dogs! So don’t display them anywhere your dog could get to them.
Mom has already told me many times I can look, but I can’t eat! (Apparently this art project isn’t interactive).
Despite the fact that this new DIY Dog Bone Art isn’t edible, I have to admit, it does add a little happy to my home!
Do you have any dog inspired art hanging in your home?
Check back later today for some super adorable throwback puppy photos and videos of yours truly. It’s so adorable, you’re not going to be able to stand it!
Since my official Birthday was on Monday (I’m 7 woohoo!) I bet you’re all wondering what exactly I did to celebrate the special day. So I made this fun video to show you just how things went down on the anniversary of my birth…
As you can see other than opening my presents I did a whole lot of napping in the sun around the farm with my buddy Trooper. It wasn’t exciting, it wasn’t adventurous, but it’s exactly what I wanted to do on my Birthday!
And did you notice? My best buddy even gave me the big dog bed because it was my Birthday!
How do you celebrate your dog’s Birthday?
Every year during Birthday Week I like to come up with some fun diy projects that can be made at home for your pet. While I do have some brand-new projects to share with you this week I thought it would be fun to take a look back at all the previous projects I created for my blog (with a little help from my mom).
So here’s some of my favorite DIY Projects for Pets that you can make at home!
Who would have thought there would be so many things you could make for your dog? Stay tuned tomorrow as I’ll have some fun NEW DIY projects to share with you, and if you want even more inspiration, be sure to check out all my past DIY projects.
Happy Birthday Week to me!
