Boxed // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently my mom decided to dip into the idea of “buying in bulk” (you know like Sam’s Club and Bj’s Wholesale) after she read a post on one of her favorite blogs about a company called Boxed. She liked it so much that I’ve decided to share the fun we had with it (as in this is not a sponsored post) incase it might interest some of you.

My mom says Boxed seems to be the way to go to shop in bulk because there are no membership fees, you don’t have to go to the store and lug all those heavy items to and from the cart, and the prices even come out cheaper when my mom compared them to places like Amazon. Plus shipping is free on your first order, and on subsequent orders when you meet a minimum for your area (mine is $60).

Boxed even carries a few pet items as well. And while they don’t have a huge variety right now, they did say they add new products all the time.

But really I wanted to share Boxed with all of you because there is one major benefit to shopping with them…..

…..the boxes!! Seriously, you’ll never guess how much fun one of these big boxes can be.

Yea, lets just say I’m hoping mom shops from Boxed more often.

Halloween Party // Ammo the Dachshund

Every year I host an Epic Halloween Party at my house, where all the party goers are required to dress up within a certain theme. This year’s theme was dead people, as in celebrities, historical figures, or characters that are no longer living or met their fate in a movie or tv show. As you already know, I dressed up as the American Icon, Evel Knievel.

Dad decided to dress as Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s and Mom was Ellie from Up.

One of these years we keep saying we’ll all dress up as a group costume – maybe next year will be the year!

I was really excited when my best friend Trooper showed up to my party though, dressed as the equally as famous, Rin Tin Tin.

Well before my time, I did have to google a photo of him – but he sounded like a pretty cool dog!

Halloween Party // Ammo the Dachshund

And just like most dogs, Mr. Rin Tin Tin had a thing for Evel Knievel helmets – mostly because my head resembled one great big tennis ball!

You know it’s going to be a good party when Rin Tin Tin and Evel Knievel have a wrestling match before it even gets started!

My party ended up being a smashing success – even if I did have to wait in the refreshment line exceptionally long!

And by the end of the night, this Evel Knievel was pooped! I better rest up though, because it will be time for my annual Halloween Party again before I know it! Ammo the Dachshund

 

Hanging out in Leaves

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

There is something just so wonderful about hanging out in a pile of leaves.

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

The crunchy sound, the dead leafy smell (you totally know what I’m talking about), the pretty fall colors.

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

I love ALL OF IT, especially the rumor I heard from Cricket the farm cat that sometimes little critters like to hang out in leaf piles too.

Hanging out in Leaves // Ammo the Dachshund

And this is not the face of a cat that would lie!

So if you don’t mind, I’ll just spend the rest of my day hanging out in this pile of leaves – and waiting for the critters to join me. *wink*

Throwback Thursday: Wiggly Wrestlers

Trooper and I have always been the kind of friends that love to wrestle. So for today’s throwback thursday I dug up this fun video of Trooper and I wrestling (in our patent wiggly way) back in 2011.

But don’t let our quiet little wrestling matches fool you…..we also thoroughly enjoy a game of chase!

Fall with Martha Stewart

A couple of months ago Trooper and I got the opportunity to have a little fashion show with the new Martha Stewart Fall Pet Line, available at Petsmart.

The end result landed a photo of me on MarthaStewart.com – pretty exciting!

The fact is though, mom took so many fun photos of Trooper and I enjoying our new Martha Stewart products – that we had to share all the others that didn’t make the cut!

Especially since they are the PERFECT thing to put everyone in the Halloweenie mood!

Honestly, what’s more Halloweenie than a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin?

Well perhaps a dachshund dressed as a pumpkin in a pile of hay!

Trooper totally had his eye on the Martha Stewart toys, and I bet he was thinking he’d get to take them home with him after our little photoshoot.

Sorry Trooper, I’ll share my Halloweenie collar with you, but these toys are mine….all mine!

What Best Dog Friends Do

Dachshund Snuggles with Best Friend // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend my best friend Trooper came over to spend the day with me.

It’s been a long time since we’ve spent the ENTIRE day together, so we had a lot of catching up to do.

Throwback Thursday: Wrestling Cats and Dogs

cricket and ammo

My pal Cricket and I have been friends for a very long time. Cricket it is one of those very special cats that is very tolerant of EVERYTHING. In fact, dare I say she’s more like a dog than a cat?

Case in point, when I was just a pup Cricket used to wrestle with me…..and being the sweetheart that she is, she let me win too…

Love ya Cricket, thanks for teaching me how to wrestle! Ammo the Dachshund

Bringing the Beach Home

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Last week some farm machinery showed up on the farm, and along with it came some sand!

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Word on the street was that the ponies were getting sand footing for their arena.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

In translation…..HOLY COW I WAS GETTING A BEACH!

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I were quite intrigued by our newly found farm beach (as we dubbed it).

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

You may already know just how much I absolutely love the beach, especially running across it bay watch style.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

And the fact that I can now run on the beach and also hunt groundhogs at the SAME PLACE……seriously I think I’m in heaven.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

Once the arena farm beach was officially finished Trooper and I got to be the first ones to test it out.

Bringing the Beach Home // New Arena Footing // Ammo the Dachshund

And seeing as how it’s a pretty big arena farm beach, we both agreed that we should share our new sand with the ponies too.

Blitz and Boomerang seem to be just as thrilled with the new farm addition. Boomer even took a celebratory bay watch run just like me….

So what fun things do you think I should do in my new farm beach? Ammo the Dachshund
