Truth be told I’ve never spent the night at a kennel or boarding facility, and honestly I hope to never have to be apart from my family! But I do know that sometimes this just isn’t possible and I’d like to think that should it come to that I’d be staying in one of the fanciest facilities for dogs! Finding those top notch places just got a little bit easier with Furlocity!

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

My January Barkbox subscription is here! You guys, let me tell you, I could hardly contain myself when that goodness arrived at my doorstep this month.

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

So I did what any other dog would do, I ripped that sucker open and grabbed the first thing I smelled!

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

This month’s Barkbox was packed with some delicious goodies as per usual.

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

We had the Loving Pets Barksters – crunchy sweet potato & beef crisps, a Harry Barker Tug n’ Toss rope toy, a Barkworthies Junior Bully Stick Chew (which I devoured right out of the box), and Think! Dog Alligator Jerky. Yes, I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever had actual alligator…..but I’m looking forward to trying it. I hear they are great for dogs with allergies to more common proteins like beef or chicken.

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

And lastly we’ve got the Wigzi! A dishwasher safe, recyclable, made in the USA toy that floats…..now if I could just get my dad to stop playing with it too!

Friday Fetch with Barkbox // Ammo the Dachshund

So as you can see, for a box filled with all that dog-gone goodness…..it never stood a chance!

You can fetch your own BarkBox starting at $19 a month. It’s the perfect thing to gift your pup this Valentines Day! Save $5 on your BarkBox subscription if you use code AMMO5!

Sledding with the Ponies

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Ammo

Sledding with the Ponies // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I decided to go on a sledding adventure at the farm. So I grabbed my favorite ponies (Minnow, Blitz and Boomer) and hitched them to a sled for some fun!

Sledding with the Ponies // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I had a blast chasing the sleds – we even made it a little friendly competition out of who could get there first. (it was me incase you were wondering)

Sledding with the Ponies // Ammo the Dachshund

Dad even broke out his snowboard for a little more “extreme” fun. We’re a little unconventional around here.

You can bet I’ll be doing some sledding again real soon!

Make sure you stop by and visit the Painting Pony Blog today to see more fun videos of me sledding with the ponies!

My Favorite Spot

My Favorite Spot // Ammo the Dachshund

I bet you have that one favorite spot in your house. The spot where the couch dips in just right and the sun warms your back and you could just nap there for hours. Yeah, I have that spot at my house too.

All that’s missing is someone to hand feed me cookies and massage my back.

I guess a boy can dream can’t he?

They feature real pomegranates and healthy ingredients, and as a bonus my mom says they smell great too (which is a real plus considering how some dog treats can be quite stinky). They include no wheat or corn, and they contain no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

Throwback Thursday: Bug Killer

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Ammo

It’s no secret that I’m pretty much an expert hunter, especially when it comes to groundhogs.

Hunting Groundhogs on the Farm 2012 // Ammo the Dachshund

While I now can spend hours on the farm digging down holes after my furry little friends, did you know that I actually started honing my hunting skills as a young pup on something much much smaller….

Those poor stink bugs never stood a chance.

What sort of things does your dog like to hunt?

Going Executive

Posted on January 22, 2014 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This product review is sponsored by Noodle and Friends.

Most of you already know that I work a 9-5 just like the rest of the working world at my mom’s frame shop in town. And as the official shop greeter and an expert sales associate I like to dress the part as well. So when my friends over at Noodle and Friends sent me one of their Executive coats I knew it was just the thing to wear during the work day.

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

It’s made of 100% wool exterior (which I must say is one of the softest coats I own) and is lined with classic black microfleece for extra warmth.

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

The Executive Dachshund Coat was designed for dachshunds, providing the perfect length to cover our long bodies while also protecting our broad chests and tummies. I love that all the Noodle and Friends coats come with a built in d-ring making it unnecessary to wear a harness underneath – although if you choose to you still can with the built-in harness hole.

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

This coat is even reversible, the second side is finished with classic black microfleece and accented with a grey wool waist belt. Although I think the grey side is my favorite!

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

You may have seen me wearing my new Executive coat out and about already, as I’ve been wearing it to work at the shop most days.

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

It also makes me look extra adorable when I need to beg for a few extra cookies if you know what I mean!

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

Despite the Executive coat’s extra good looks, it’s also quite hardy too. Snow storms are no problem as it keeps me nice and dry underneath!

You can fetch your own Executive Coat from Noodle and Friends for $65.

Visiting at the Nursing Home

Posted on January 21, 2014 by Ammo

Ammo the Dachshund Visits the Nursing Home

Over the weekend I took a little trip to a special nursing home, St. Martha Manor.

Ammo the Dachshund Visits the Nursing Home

I wore my fanciest outfit, which everyone said made me look oh-so-dapper!

Ammo the Dachshund Visits the Nursing Home

I didn’t get many pictures of my visit as I was quite busy visiting some special people! But I’m pretty sure everyone had a great time, myself included!

And next time I’m going to have to bring a booster seat, because I missed out on quite a bit of fun once bingo started!

Friday Fetch: An Island for your Dog

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Ammo

Wouldn’t it be cool to have your own personal island? Well now your pet can, sort of. See Scout Sleep has created pet islands. They are meant to be used on your beloved chair or sofa to help protect your little buddy’s favorite spot. They may also be used on the floor. Great for small dogs and cats, I’m pretty sure my mom and dad would appreciate me napping on one of these instead of the white sofa!
