Spring Bark and Where I’m Headed Next

I’ve got some exciting news! Recently I found out that I’m a finalist in the BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Awards for the Best Dog Blog & Best Pet Blog Photo.

Ammo the Dachshund Studio Photos

It’s enough to make me feel like a celebrity! 

What makes the Nose-to-Nose awards a little different is that this is the only pet industry awards on which pet bloggers and micro-bloggers are judged on the expertise, performance, and creativity of their blog. Each category is judged by a distinguished panel of professionals, and not by popular vote. So don’t worry I won’t be begging for votes (not that I’ve ever been a fan of that anyway), now begging for cookies, that’s another story!

Oh gosh, I can just feel the love!

The best part is that winners will be revealed in an exclusive red carpet ceremony at the BlogPaws Annual Conference in Nashville, Tennessee at the end of May.

My Bags are Packed // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m already excitedly making some plans so I can hopefully take a week-long road trip to attend the event. Which is great news for you too, because that means when I get back from my trip I’ll have a whole SLEW of adventures to share with you! You know, like where the best trees to pee on in Tennessee are, and what kind of squirrels they have in Virginia….the important stuff.

Being a Dachshund is so-dang-hard that you didn’t think it would end right there now did you? No, the struggle continues – and something tells me there are even more to come!

Canidae Dog Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As much as I love to think that I’ll be this nimble and quick for years and years to come, it’s nice to know that there are products out there that will get me back to feeling like a pup again when I’m a bit older.

A Day at the Beach // Ammo the Dachshund

Since I’m a little too young to need a supplement like Rejeneril myself I did not actually test out this product (I’ve already got more than enough energy to go around according to my mom!) But you can check out these honest reviews from some real life pups who did:

The general consensus from all these dogs was that it really works – improved skin and with a little more pep in their step, these dogs seemed to really benefit from taking Renjeneril.

Rejeneril is a supplement that you can give to your dog by placing a few drops (amount is dependent on size of dog) into your pet’s food. One small bottle can last a small dog up to 4 months. If you’d like to try Rejeneril for your pet you can fetch it from My Ultimate Pet. Use the code AMMO to get 15% off of your order of Rejeneril.

Winter on the Farm

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Living in Eastern Pennsylvania, my buddy Trooper and I get our fair share of snowy weather during the winter months. But if you think that every time the sky lets out a little precipitation we hide inside the barn with our ponies, then you would be mistaken my friend!

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Instead we run around the farm like crazy dogs trying to have as much fun in the white stuff before our moms call us back inside.

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

My pal Trooper goes a bit wild in the snow, trying to catch EVERY SINGLE SNOWFLAKE….

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

…and collecting EVERY SINGLE STICK before they get buried in the white stuff forever!

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

Sometimes I like to just watch him make a fool of himself. It’s quite entertaining.

Then things just start to get really silly.

Oh that Trooper.

Trooper’s silliness eventually rubs off on all my ponies too.

They seem to like to get their crazies out in the snow as well, running around and leaping into the air.

Eventually my toes begin to get a little chilly, and it’s time to head back inside where it’s warm.

Don’t worry though, once we thaw out a bit we’ll be back out for more fun! Ammo the Dachshund

What is your dog’s favorite thing to do in the snow? Do they get all crazy about the white stuff like Trooper and my ponies?

Want to see more photos of my ponies playing in the snow? Be sure to visit their blog!

P.S. If your wondering where the jackets came from that Trooper and I are wearing… Trooper’s came from a thrift store and was likely handmade, and mine I won in a contest from the lovely pet product company, Hurtta. Underneath my outer coat I’m wearing a fleece from Ruffwear.

Noodle and Friends Executive Coat Product Review // Ammo the Dachshund

I like to think that I’m a pretty stylish dog. I love to shop, and over the years I’ve tested and tried some of the best dog products on the market. I like to think that you (my readers) agree, because one of the common questions I get in e-mails, blog comments, and social media is where did I get a particular product I am seen wearing.

Ruffwear Front Range Harness Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So I decided to create a whole new page on my blog dedicated to all the gear that I own, have tested, and absolutely love!

So I invite you to check out my new Gear page, where I’ve compiled a list of all the gear I own and where you can grab it for your own dog too. From pet food, to winter wear, and even the photography gear my mom uses to take the photos for my blog!

Adventures in the Snow

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Woohoo! Snow!

Yeah, that may not be the typical reaction that all northerners like me have when the sky dumps a big old pile of snow in your backyard. Especially when it’s almost March and the feeling that Spring can’t come soon enough is an epidemic.

But you know what, I really do love the snow.

The dashing part is especially fun! I like to pretend I’m being chased by a pack of wild wolves, only I’m so much faster than them that there is no way they can ever catch me. Hopefully I’ll never actually have to live in that moment, but just in case I’ll keep practicing.

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

And for those pups out there that don’t like to “blaze their own trail” in the snow, I’ve got news for you, you better start practicing, because you never know when those wolves are going to come out of nowhere!

I’m actually such an expert at blazing trails in the snow that you can hardly tell when I need to take a break to make some yellow snow.

Adventures in the Snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Those wolves will never see it coming when they slip in my icy patch of yellow snow!

Always one step ahead. *wink* Ammo the Dachshund
