Take Your Dog to Work Day // Custom Framing // Ammo the Dachshund

As many of you may already know, I spend most of my weekdays working as a shop dog in a custom framing shop. For the past 7 years I’ve had the very important duty of shop greeter, making people smile on a daily basis! Even though I’ve been doing an amazing job, mom says this year I’m going to get a little help with my job when my new sister comes to the shop to help me handle all my duties. To make some room at the shop for an extra “employee” it was time to make some updates to our work space.

So here’s what my shop used to look like:

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 15 with Ammo the Dachshund

Things were about to change though….

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

Over memorial day weekend dad came in with all his tools and a whole stack of ikea boxes and we got to work building. I spent some late nights at the shop that weekend, but in the end it was worth it!

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

The new design table for all my customers to order their framing on turned out fabulous, even if dad built it a little too tall for us short “people”.

With a whole new look to my store there was only one thing left to do….

…Zoomies!

Now that things are back to business as usual, I’m back to my post at the front door waiting to greet all the customers.

And you know what, I’m really starting to love this new bigger space. There’s even more room now for me to stretch out for belly rubs!

So what do you think, do you like my shop’s new layout? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

 

 

Dog’s Day at Devon

A Dog's Day at the Devon Horse Show

Just like every year for the past 7 years I made sure not to miss the Devon Horse Show last week! Devon is one of the oldest and largest multi-breed horse competitions in the United States and every year it never disappoints with tasty food to eat, fun horse events to see, and of course….

A Dog's Day at the Devon Horse Show

….people to watch! I’ve become quite the expert at people watching, after all the things you humans do are so fascinating sometimes!

A Dog's Day at the Devon Horse Show

After hobnobbing with some of the equestrian elite I decided to hit the pavement and explore the grounds!

A Dog's Day at the Devon Horse Show

Devon has always been the go-to place for all the cool dogs in town, and I even ran into this fellow who was helping to run an art gallery on the grounds!

A Dog's Day at the Devon Horse Show

Then I ran into this fine looking dude, Buddy, who looked an awful lot like someone I know. I just can’t place who…. 😉

A Dog's Day at the Devon Horse Show

After some obligatory butt-sniffing we became fast friends! Until we meet again Buddy!

A Dog's Day at the Devon Horse Show

Another successful year at Devon in the books! I can’t wait until next year when I get to bring my little sister along to enjoy it too. (although I guess technically she did come along this year too….but she couldn’t really appreciate all the sights!) 😉

Dogs Compete for Everything even the new PetQwerks Flavorit Bones #ad

Trooper and I have always been really competitive. We compete for pretty much everything including treats, toys, dinner, and who gets to eat the cat food first!

Most of the time I win at everything (I’m a dachshund, I was born a wienner!), but every once in a while something comes along that Trooper puts up a little more of a fight for! Check out the video below for proof….

Trooper wasn’t going to let me get away with having all the fun with our PetQwerks Flavorit Bones.

Dogs Compete for Everything even the new PetQwerks Flavorit Bones #ad

See these nylon dog bones have tiny little holes on them that allow them to be filled with your dog’s favorite soft spread like peanut butter, cream cheese and more.

If your mom is anything like mine then she saves EVERYTHING related to my health and care. Over the past 7 years mom has amassed quite a filing cabinet on me. What if I told you there is a much better way to store and manage all those vet documents thanks to my friends at PensterDocs!

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

The PensterDocs App is a FREE DOWNLOAD in the App store & Google Play that can help you track your pet records, find pet services near you, and even interact with your pet community.

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

With PensterDocs you can add as many pets as you like to keep track of their records. They have pre-set vaccines already listed for dogs, cats, and birds, and even though you couldn’t add a “horse” to the App mom found that we could still add in my pony friends and just create custom “horsey” vaccines for them as a way to track their medical records too.

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

So not only can you plug in your pet’s vital information and vaccine records (which have a handy feature to send you a reminder when it’s time for your pet to be vaccinated again), but you can also add photos of all your documents too. Mom photographed some of my vet receipts for vaccines and added them to the records. So not only does it keep everything nice and organized, but it has all your pet’s records with you no matter where you go, and you can even print and e-mail them from your phone.

So should you ever end up at the emergency vet clinic when you’re out of town (paws crossed you never do), you can pull up all your pet’s records at the touch of a button!

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

A helpful feature is the ability to add notes for each pet. Here you could keep track of things like you noticed a limp in your dog, or they got their nails trimmed or taken to the groomer. I’m hoping they add the ability to add photos to notes too in the future, because it would be really neat to use it as a way to track injuries or skin growths on your pet (to check for any skin changes).

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

Another really cool feature about the App is the pet services locater. No matter where you are you can pull up a list of nearby veterinarians, kennels, groomers, dog parks, and rescue centers.

No more pre-searching area pet emergency centers when you head out on a road trip, you can instantly find one should you ever need it while on vacation and with a touch of the button give them a call or find driving directions. What an awesome feature!

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

PensterDocs also has a fun community features where you can post pictures of your pets to share with other members. Like, comment, and make new friends through the app which has a similar feel to instagram (minus the filters!).

An App to Help You Manage All of Your Pet Documents + A Giveaway with PensterDocs #ad

The very best part about this app from PensterDocs is that it’s completely FREE! So what are you waiting for, download it today from the App Store or in Google Play for Android!

New Vegetable Garden

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

Every year I like to plant a vegetable garden. After last year’s winter my usual veggie spot was looking a bit sad. Nothing a little gardening re-model couldn’t fix though!

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

My handy Dad got to work right away with a new plan so mom and I don’t have to pull weeds anymore…woohoo! Mom of course had to sit this one out, since apparently heavy lifting is frowned upon when you’re growing a baby.

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

Eventually (thanks to dad’s hard work) my new garden boxes started to take shape and it was time to get the dirt! (my favorite part)

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

I tagged along to help mom and dad pick up garden soil so my plants could grow big and strong.

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

While dad shoveled all the dirt into the garden boxes I stood guard to make sure no critters got in the way of our hard work. It’s pretty much a full time job.

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

The soil went in and I could hardly wait to get my plants into the ground. I’ve been saving bits of kibble all year to plant my kibble tree!

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

With soil in the boxes the garden was looking mostly finished….now it was time to plant!

Ammo the Dachshund's Vegetable Garden

After mom picked up some plant starts at the store I helped put everything into the boxes. Now all we have to do is wait for them to grow big and strong, and keep the critters from eating them! Don’t worry though, I know just the dog for the job!

My New Adventure as a Big Brother

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Over the weekend mom and I arrived at the farm to find a celebration! Mom said it was a baby shower for my soon-to-be little sister, although the way I saw it was a celebration of me becoming a big brother!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

It was the perfect combination of ponies….

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

….and food! (My favorite).

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Of course it wouldn’t have been a celebration if I didn’t break of my bowtie! The brother-to-be always has to look his best.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Even though my buddy Minnow was just outside in the pasture, we certainly had to include him in the festivities too. So he was inside in spirit for a pin-the-baby-on-the-pony game.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Eventually it was time for my favorite part of the day! Opening presents!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I’m an expert at gift unwrapping and I was super excited to see what all my friends and family brought to celebrate my “becoming a big brother”.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

There were lots of sweet dachshund (and pony) related gifts that were opened but I was starting to realize why mom said it was a “baby shower”.

Eventually Trooper and I started to loose interest in the baby gear so I decided to checkout what fun games there might be for me to play instead.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I was in luck, because not only was there was a stinky inspired game just for me, but it also included candy bars in a “guess which candy bar/dirty diaper game”. I may or may not have gotten in big trouble for trying to steal one of them! 😉

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

I sulked for a bit about not being involved as much as I would have liked in this “baby shower”, but mom told me not to worry…

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

…for she says soon I’ll have to test all the baby gear for my sister before she comes. And something tells me mom and dad will be practicing carrying me around in this baby carrier pretty soon!

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

After the shower I helped gift all our special friends these cute little horse shoes to show how much I appreciated them coming to celebrate my little sister.

Ammo the Dachshund Celebrates Becoming a Big Brother

Mom, Dad, Minnow, Me and Boomerang (who just happened to be in another pasture for this picture) are super excited for my little sister to get here! I can’t wait to show her where all the groundhog holes are on the farm, she’s going to love it!Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Do you include your dog in family gatherings and parties?

Taste of Adventure

Taste of Adventure

Sometimes I get a taste of adventure and it’s pretty much all I need to send me into a full blown meltdown when mom won’t let me off the leash to investigate further.

 

In this case that “taste” consisted of me physically biting a wild animal in the woods. What can I say, I like to live life on the edge! Adventure Awaits my friends!

When my new friends over at DOOG sent me one of their Walkie Bags to test out, at first I was a bit perplexed.

Bad Dog Caught on Camera with Vimtag (Vol. 3)

Naughty Dog Caught on Camera with Vimtag + A Giveaway

Ever since this Wireless Video Monitor from Vimtag showed up at my house last year I’ve found myself “in the doghouse” on several occasions. And since you guys seem to love hearing about my “bad dog” antics, I’m back with another installment of my recent “caught on camera” moments!

A Wireless Camera to Monitor your Pet + A Giveaway

Now if you don’t remember, the Vimtag Wireless Monitor is a camera the connects to your homes Wifi and allows your parents to check up on you from anywhere they want via their smart phone. Yeah, so you can see why I’ve gotten caught in a few “sticky” situations lately.

Recently they caught me red handed….

Naughty Dog Caught on Camera with Vimtag + A Giveaway

When packages arrive at the house I don’t really care who they are addressed to, anything is fair game. I just assume even if it’s not meant for me I might find the contents inside useful anyway.

Naughty Dog Caught on Camera with Vimtag + A Giveaway

Too lazy to wander into the kitchen to find my water bowl, I’m totally not above taking a drink out of the convenient fountain in the bathroom. After all, it is closer to my giant dog bed in the master bedroom!

I couldn’t really deny any of these naughty acts when mom came home with time stamped images from the Vimtag App as proof…

Read all about my adventures with Vimtag, and the array of uses my mom has found for this wireless video monitor.

(and I am not responsible for any dogs that get in trouble!) Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

P.S. While it’s not to say that I’m always a perfect angel, these “caught on camera” scenes are dramatizations all in the name of good fun! (Although I won’t say I’ve never been caught doing something I shouldn’t!)

Nylon Dog Bone Chews with an Extra Kick + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by Pet Qwerks. All opinions are my own and I only share products I think you and your pets will love!

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

My new friends over at Pet Qwerks recently came out with a new dog chew called the Flavorit™ that I think your dogs are going to love! Now if your dog likes to chew (as most dogs do), this is a new Nylon bone that they’re going to love sinking their teeth into.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

The Flavorit comes in 8 different flavors that are infused into the nylon bones and is available in 4 sizes. They also come in a Flex version for moderate chewers as well as the standard version for tough chewers.

Since I’m a very aggressive chewer I decided to start out with the standard version (later I did test out the Flex, but it’s not the best fit for me since I am so aggressive with my chewing).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Now you may have noticed the tiny little holes on each side of the Flavorit. They are what make this nylon bone so unique! Not only is each bone flavored as is, but you can also fill each of these tiny flavor cells with your dog’s favorite soft spread like peanut butter, cheese, cream cheese or anything else soft.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Both sides of the Flavorit have a concave design so that the messy treats you put on your bone end up in your dog’s mouth (or the bone) and not on the carpet. Mom found it helpful to wipe off any excess peanut butter with a paper towel before she gave it to me so that I for sure wouldn’t make a mess on anything I wasn’t supposed to.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

I have to say the standard Flavorit held up quite well to my big chompers, and the added peanut butter flavor (which is my favorite) really kept me busy for quite some time.

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

Mom even let me chew on it on her brand-new carpet….and it really was mess-free! (or I would of been in big trouble).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway

The Flavorit is made in the USA of 100% nylon and is even dishwasher safe (if your dog can’t get all the flavor out on their own!).

Nylon Dog Chew with an Extra Kick from @PetQwerks + A Giveaway
