Shopping with a Trendy Dachshund

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Ammo

Ok, I admit it, I’m a bit of a shopping addict. I love scouring the internet for the latest and greatest trendy products – and I love bringing you my Friday Fetch feature every Friday, where I share some of my favorite finds.

The most asked question on the blog seems to be “where did you get that” (It’s because I’m so stylish right?), so I decided to add an “I’m Digging” section to the blog – right there on the sidebar. Here I’ll feature some of my favorite products from my Amazon Affiliate Shop – some of which I own and love, and others that are on my wish list.

So even though you all can’t ride in the shopping cart with me, you can still be just as cool.

I take cool to a whole new level don’t I?

So what am I missing? Any super-awesome new pet products out there that I should know about? Trendy Blogs I should be reading? Do tell.

Friday Fetch: Dog Keyrings

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Ammo

Most of the time I’m at my mom’s side 24/7, but when I’m not I like to think she’s always thinking about me. These fun dog – inspired keyring adornments from Edwyn UK are perfect for reminding my mom of my happy little face even when I’m not there!

You can fetch your own dog keyring here.

Friday Fetch: Voyagers K9 Apparel

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Ammo

Thanks to my pals over at Dog Milk, I now have a new must have item added to my Christmas List (You know, since my Birthday week is sadly coming to an end today). A winter coat from Voyagers K9 Apparel! The coolest part about their trendy looking coats – they make them to custom fit specific breeds (mixed breeds included!). Do you know how hard it is to find a coat to fit my short legged/long body? It’s really really hard.

I’m currently loving the tummy warmer coats & the winter coats – now I just have to figure out what color would look best on me! Yellow, Navy, Teal? And I’m hoping they can add a custom D-ring to my jacket so I can use it as a harness too! Oh and I guess I better start behaving now so Santa will just HAVE to get me a new coat for Christmas.

You can fetch your own coat at Voyagers K9 Apparel!

Visitor

Posted on August 31, 2011 by Ammo

Sometimes Trooper comes to visit me at the shop. When we were both younger Trooper and I both used to come to the shop together everyday, but then Trooper got a new job. Now Trooper visits the nursing home and rounds up the ponies on the farm almost daily – making his visits to the shop a little less frequent.

So when he does come to visit, I’m even more enthusiastic to see him.

“OMG It’s you! I can’t believe you came to visit!”

“I’m so excited I could kiss you!”

Artsy Fartsy

Posted on August 18, 2011 by Ammo

Don’t worry this isn’t a stinky post – although if they invented scratch-n-sniff computer monitors I’d totally be able to share all my favorite stinky smells with all of you! Now wouldn’t that be fun!

No, instead I’m going to share with you my new rubber stamp! (the unscented version at least)

How great is that! My mom helped me make it, and even though she thinks it’s a little rough around the edges still, I think it’s fabulous! You better believe I’ve been stamping all of my toys so Trooper can’t steal them!

Me and mom have been on an artsy fartsy kick lately – so much so that we rearranged my little corner in the shop that I share with the ponies.

Isn’t it cool, we now have walls to hang up all of our artwork (nevermind the fact that we had to drive 2 hours to get them!). Mom says we even get to test out our new walls when we set up our booth at the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show (and the Chadds Ford Dog Days of Summer Event) in a couple of weeks.

I can’t wait, because when we travel it means one thing and one thing alone……

…..WAY MORE COOKIES!

Friday Fetch: Papercut Pet Portrait

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Ammo

In honor of me being a painter now, I thought I’d share another artist with you today. Check out these super cool custom pet portraits. I think Lemon Drop Land would totally be worthy of making a special portrait of yours truly – complete with super hero cape (P.S. my Birthday is in October!)

To create the papercut, I’ll begin with a sketch of the (fairly high resolution) photo that you email me. Once I’m happy with the likeness and “feel,” I’ll slice the image out of subtly textured, sturdy, acid-free, highly light-resistant, 60% cotton papers, ensuring a long life without deterioration. Each piece is signed and dated.

You can fetch your favorite pet’s portrait for $200 at Lemon Drop Land on Etsy.

And if you just so happen to own a Boxer then you are in luck! Pre-cut Boxer portrait – $80 at Lemon Drop Land. I’m a little jealous that it’s not a Dachshund!

P.S. You can also LIKE LemondropLand over on Facebook.

Dark Days

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Ammo

That’s right, it was a full fledged black-out at the shop yesterday morning!

I admit, I pouted a little. I mean with no power – that means I can’t get my heat lamp turned on! How am I supposed to pretend I’m at the beach without it?

Luckily the outage didn’t last too long. So thankfully I didn’t have to look like this for too terribly long…..

Shop Update and Dachshund Wares

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Ammo

Tuesday is my “Monday” at the shop, as mom and I reluctantly say goodbye to our weekend and head back to work. Mom’s always super busy on Tuesdays. Placing orders, answering e-mails, framing, and doing other businessey things that totally bore me. Yesterday was no exception while mom spent several hours updating the Studio’s online shop.
