Birthday Cookies

Birthday Presents and Homemade Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

My 5th Birthday landed on Saturday this year, and while you probably already saw what I had fun unwrapping, there was one other special gift from my best friend Trooper that I wanted to share with you!

Birthday Presents and Homemade Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

Thoughtful Trooper gifted me a box of bake at home dog cookies from Dog Joy. I was just dying to bake these all natural oatmeal and peanut butter cookies, so on Saturday night mom helped me pop them into the oven.

After putting them on a baking sheet and popping them in the oven I had to wait an unbearably long ten minutes for them to cook. It was torture I tell you.

But when they popped out of the oven smelling of peanut butter goodness it was totally worth the wait! Thanks to my pal Trooper for making sure my tummy never goes hungry! Ammo the Dachshund

One of the really neat features was adding water to the edge of the saucer bowl to keep the ants out of your food. I think this will really come in handy the next time I go camping!

I even tested out the ability to freeze water inside the yummy bowls. This is great for keeping your water nice and cold on a hot summer day, or even on an extra long road trip. I took my yummy bowl to dog agility, and it kept my water the perfect temperature to cool me off after my runs.

Kong Premium Treats Review & Giveaway

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember that a couple of months ago I got to test out the new line of Kong Premium Treats, which were oh so yummy. Well now they have released a new batch of goodies, and of course I couldn’t wait to get my paws on them too!

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kong Pumpkin Stix

  • No Wheat, Corn or Soy
  • No Animal By-Products
  • No Harmful Preservatives or Colorants
  • Contains Vitamins and Minerals

These treats were soft, and great for stuffing into one of the kong toys I already owned. I think the Pumpkin Stix were my favorite of the Kong Premium Treats that I got to test out.

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kong American Chicken Tenders

  • Made in USA
  • All Natural
  • No Fillers
  • No Additives

These were a tougher chew that was much larger – but that didn’t stop me from chowing down!

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kong Double Rawhide Chews

  • 100% U.S. Beef Hide (Processed in Mexico)
  • No Harmful Preservatives
  • Helps Clean Teeth and Freshen Breath
  • Great Tasting and Long Lasting

These rawhide chews were definitely longer lasting, so if you have a dog that you need to keep occupied, then these are the treats for you. They might be better suited for a larger dog though, and always make sure you supervise your dog when giving them rawhides as they can sometimes be a choking hazard.

Below is a video of Trooper and I chowing down on these delicious Kong Premium Treats. Being taste testers is the best!

And now for your chance to do your very own taste test!

Kong Premium Treats Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

THREE Lucky winners will receive 1 package of Double Chews, 1 package of American Chicken Tenders, and 1 package of Pumpkin Stix.

Snapshots of my Life

Instagram is by far one of my mom’s (and mine) favorite apps. It’s a way for me to share a tiny little glimpse into everyday life, whether that be running around on the farm, napping at work, or going on a fabulous adventure. So for those of you that don’t already follow me on Instagram, here’s a little peek into my everyday life:

Best Friends

Best Friends // Ammo the Dachshund and Trooper

I have a best friend, and his name is Trooper.

Best Friends // Ammo the Dachshund and Trooper

He’s silly and fun, and always knows how to have a good time. Plus he’s so much fun to wrestle with!

Best Friends // Ammo the Dachshund and Trooper

He’s great at keeping secrets, even if I’m not so great at keeping them.

We’re different, but the same, and I couldn’t be happier to have a best friend to grow old with.Ammo the Dachshund

 

P.S. Thanks to Mattie & Margot for sending along some matching best friend collars for me and my pal Trooper! Because best friends should always look stylish together!

I do it for the Cookies

Photo Studio with Ammo the Dachshund

It’s no secret that I’m no stranger to being in front of the camera lens. And frequently I’m asked how my mom gets me to pose so well for a photo – and honestly, it’s quite simple…

Cookies // Ammo the Dachshund

….COOKIES!

I’d do pretty much anything for a taste of cookie!

So next time you want your dog to sit still for a photograph, make sure you have your pockets filled with cookies! Your dog will thank you! Ammo the Dachshund

Last Days of Summer

The cool weather is rolling in and it’s time to squeeze in those last little bits of summer. Ice cream cones and a dip in the pool seem like the perfect way to soak in every last bit of it. Before I know it it will be time to break out my sweaters!

Adventures in Disc Golf

Adventures in Disc Golf // Ammo the Dachshund

Last weekend I took a trip to the French Creek State Park – which would prove to be my first adventure on the Disc Golf Course.

A combination of frisbee and golf, the object is to get your frisbee into the provided targets at each hole.

Adventures in Disc Golf // Ammo the Dachshund

Of course I was a natural – as I am with most things! *wink*

Aside from the goal of throwing the frisbee around the course, there was quite a bit for me to investigate on this adventure.

Being in the wilderness is one of my all time favorite things – but after a day of trekking around the course I was quite happy that this state park had a lake too.

Nothing like a dip in the water to beat the heat!

 

If you’re looking for a dog friendly adventure check out the French Creek State Park. The trails are pet friendly as is the boat rental. Also lots of camping areas that allow pets. Ammo the Dachshund
