12 Days of Cheer! Hunting for the Perfect Tree

Posted on December 12, 2013 by Ammo

Part of my yearly Holiday tradition is to go shopping for the perfect Christmas tree. Only this years tree hunt was a little extra special.

I headed out to my favorite tree shopping spot, the TriColor Tree Farm and much to my surprise it had started to snow! Now if a little winter blizzard during Christmas Tree shopping doesn’t spell Christmas than I don’t know what does.

Of course before the tree hunt could begin I had to make sure the tree field was groundhog free. I just can’t help myself!

Once I cleared the field of pesky groundhogs, I wasted no time in picking out the perfect little petite tree.

Before we cut it down we had to take the obligatory “pose with the tree for posting on Facebook later” photos. It’s absolutely necessary in the Holiday Tree Hunt.

Once that was over with, it was time to cut that suckka down!

After the nice people at TriColor Tree Farm helped me wrap up my tree I was ready to bring it home for some decorating fun!

Ta-da! Isn’t is gorgeous? I decorated it all by myself too!

Ok well I might have had a little help with the angel. Curse of the short legs and all!

Happy Christmas!

Miss-Flo Custom Made Dog Harnesses

Miss-Flo Custom Dog Harness Review // Ammo the Dachshund

A couple of weeks ago my new pal Flo, from Miss-Flo, sent me one of her mom’s custom made harness and leash sets. And boy was I excited when it showed up in one of my favorite colors – teal!

I’ve never been a big fan of harnesses that have straps between the legs because they feel restricting, and it can be quite difficult to find a well-made harness that just sits across the chest.

These Miss-Flo harnesses are custom made to fit each dog, so you know it will be the perfect size for your own furry friend. As you can see mine fits me like a glove, and I like that the buckle is adjustable (should I ever eat too many cookies).

My Miss-Flo harness even came with a matching leash which boasted one of those extra strong snaps – because you can never be too careful when it comes to walking your pup! It also has a little metal loop by the handle to tie poop bags to or even snap a set of keys onto.

One of my favorite things about this harness was the velvety soft fabric that was against my skin. All of Miss Flo’s harnesses (and even the leash handles) are lined with velvet and they come in a variety of color choices too. Never again do I have to worry about my harness rubbing me in the wrong places, because believe me when I say this stuff is oh-so-soft!

Armed in my new harness I set off to roam my neighborhood – well and mostly just show off to all the neighbor dogs how really really good looking I was in it.

You may have already noticed me wearing my new harness in some of my other blog and Facebook posts, as I’ve been wearing it everywhere lately – it’s that comfortable!

Road Trip with Ammo – Dog Friendly Downtown Charleston, SC

Posted on December 5, 2013 by Ammo

Yesterday I shared my adventures in the Isle of Palms, frolicking on the beach with my best pal Trooper, and having a grand time! But being a beach bum wasn’t the only thing I did on my Thanksgiving vacation.

There was some turkey involved too as I celebrated Thanksgiving with a traditional turkey feast with my family. Trooper and I begged mercifully for some turkey, and even though we didn’t get any, we had fun chowing down on the turkey sausage chews for dogs that mom brought along for us.

After our day of feasting Trooper and I headed into downtown Charleston, South Carolina to check out some of the local scenery.

Before strolling through town we practiced being southern gentleman on a front porch stoop, because I hear that’s what you do when you’re down south!

I even wore my fancy bow tie and poured on the charm, because you never know when a southern lady might be watching!

After my front porch adventure I realized I was getting quite sleepy in the warm southern sun.

I was also quite hungry too! So we decided to take a walk into town to grab something to eat. We ended up at Tabbuli, which had a great little enclosed outdoor dining area that was completely dog friendly!

After some good food it was off to explore Charleston, and I was excited to see that I was sharing the streets with some horses too! These carriage rides around town were pet friendly too, as I saw a couple of small dogs riding in them.

After exploring some of the shops I headed over to Waterfront Park, where I fit right in with my sailor jacket!

I even met some new friends while checking out some of the fountain displays in the park.

Then it was off to Battery Park where I watched the sunset before it was time to head back to my beach rental.

The next day Trooper and I took the short walk from our rental to the beach to say goodbye to the ocean one last time.

Then we packed it into the car and settled in for the long ride back to Pennsylvania.

Making sure to stop for dinner of course!

I hope you enjoyed my Thanksgiving adventures, what kind of fun did you have?

As you know last week I left for a fun Thanksgiving road trip with my family. With over 1500 miles of driving this would be one of my longest road trips to date!
