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.

Clear Conscience Pet Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My friends over at Clear Conscience Pet recently sent over some of their Sliders for me to try out. Their Sliders line of tender meat features all-natural and wholesome ingredients like USDA inspected chicken and beef along with natural cheddar cheese, organic flaxseed and air dried vegetables.

They contain no grain, gluten, glycerin, artificial preservatives or flavoring and no GMO ingredients.

Clear Conscience Pet Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m not entirely sure what all that means, but I do know that the package smelled so delish that I could hardly wait to break it open!

Clear Conscience Pet Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The 4oz bag of chicken and cheddar Sliders came in these bite-sized pieces that were perfect to use as training treats as they were easy to tear. Mom even brought some along to my agility classes to use.

The individually packaged Sliders were bigger and juicier, and much better used as a special after dinner snack.

And if you’re wondering how I liked them, I’m pretty sure my eyes in this photo say it all!

Snowballs and winter fun

Posted on January 9, 2014 by Ammo

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Last weekend on the farm we had some lingering snow, the kind of snow that was perfect for snowballs! Trooper and I wasted no time in having a little game out of who could catch the most.

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

After a few failed attempts on my part to catch said snowballs (it would probably help if I opened my eyes when trying to catch them), it was evident that Trooper was going to come out on top with this one.

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

What can I say, my best friend is a natural!

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

You know as much as we all want to complain about the winter with all the snow and the cold, there is just something magical about running through the snow, catching snowballs, and bundling up until you can hardly move!

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Even our farm neighbor, Bella the Bernese Mountain Dog decided to stop by for some wintertime fun!

Dashing through the snow // Ammo the Dachshund

Unfortunately despite all my winter gear, I still lack the natural winter protection that my friend Bella is so blessed with. So I was off to the car to warm up for a bit!

Sorry Bella, our winter fun will have to wait until I thaw out some!

How I spend my Christmas

Posted on January 2, 2014 by Ammo

The Christmas festivities have come and gone, but I’m still reminiscing about all the fun I had with friends and family.

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I kicked off the festivities on Christmas eve with a trip to Trooper’s house!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I had a blast opening gifts with our family, and I even gifted Trooper a new reflective vest and collar to wear during hunting season on the farm.

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Between the both of us we opened up some fun new toys like this Pickle for Trooper and a new Kong toy for me. Needless to say I confiscated both of them….for testing purposes of course!

Christmas eve of course wasn’t complete until we got a little snow! Just what I needed before I put on my pj’s and dreamed of elves and the jolly old fat man!

Before I could see what Santa brought me on Christmas morning I headed out to the farm to take care of my ponies, and I had fun watching them open their new toy from Santa!

Then it was back home to open my own presents under the tree!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Santa must have thought I was a really good boy this year (and don’t you tell him otherwise), because I got so many goodies I hardly knew what to play with first!

But before I had a chance to play with much of anything it was off to my mom-mom and pop-pop’s house to have Christmas with my cousins!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

My cousins were very nice to share most of their toys with me, although I was much more excited to get home to my own toys than playing Skylanders.

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Although my cousins did gift me this fun new duck toy, which I had a blast tearing into!

I bet you are wondering just what I got for Christmas right?

Well one of my very favorite toys was a stuffed cup of hot chocolate that my mom and dad picked up for a couple bucks from goodwill….

It doesn’t take much to make this dog happy!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

I also got the new Planet Dog Snoop Toy (one of my current favorite toys, and thus far indestructible!), KONG Starpod (I already broke a hole in this one!), a Bumble Ball (which I must admit I’m a little scared of as it vibrates!), a Ruffwear Lunker Toy (which I can’t wait to try out it’s floating capabilities at the lake this summer) and several bags of cookies!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

Dad also got me a new stand for my photo backdrops, yippee!

How I spent my Christmas // Ammo the Dachshund

By the end of the day I was pretty exhausted! But I had a wonderful Christmas with the people (and animals) I love!

Did you have as jolly a Christmas as I did?

Happy New Year!
