When I suddenly found myself this summer the big brother to a tiny little human, I never imagined all the cool stuff that would come with her. Like this play yard for instance. I mean just look how cool it is with all the dangling dog toys and colorful shapes.
It was so cool in fact that my mom kept finding me inside it, mostly when my sister wasn’t occupying it, but occasionally I just couldn’t resist jumping in to play with her too.
Mom said as cute as it was that I wanted to share in my sisters playtime that it wasn’t really a good idea. Because even though I try my hardest to be gentle, I do have pointy nails, and a tail, and sometimes I don’t always look before I leap. (guilty as charged)
While this is all very true I admit, how was it fair that I didn’t get to play in her little pen with all the fun toys?
I guess I shouldn’t have worried too much, because did you know there is such a thing as a Portable Pet Pen?
That’s right, inside this bag is my very own personal play pen!
It popped open in seconds (you can check out a video of it in action), and I knew my sister was going to be so jealous when she saw what I got, but sorry sister, this pen is only for me!
It even had a built in doggie door just for little dogs my size!
Mom filled my pen with some of my favorite toys at the shop so when she can’t keep an eye on me I could safely play inside my pen.
Now my sister and I both have our own special containment areas to keep us safe. Mom doesn’t have to worry about me jumping on the baby accidentally when she’s busy working, and I don’t have to worry about my little sister trying to steal all my toys! Because lets face it, I’m way more spoiled than her in the toy department.
The best part though is we can still see each other through the breathable and see-through mesh walls, so I can still fulfill my big brother duties by keeping an eye on little sis.
You can snag one of these awesome Portable Pet Pens from Carlson Pet Products for 10% off and FREE SHIPPING with code PETPEN10
Mom says these pens would also be great for puppies, taking pets on vacation, and even dogs that show and compete as they can be used outdoors as well!
What sort of naughty things do you need to keep your dog from getting into?

Now at first glance this might look like just a cute book about Dogs and Their People. And while that fun smiling corgi is super fun, there is something even more special about this book…
…I’m in the book! As you can see my sister couldn’t wait to help me celebrate my very first “in print” literature.
Many lucky dogs just like me have people that love them very much (like my sister here), so much so that the quirky stories that prove their love are included in this book of collected stories by my friends over at Barkbox!
So I’m sure none of you are surprised that I might be included in this book, after all my mom and dad do some crazy things to show me that they care. (Taking me flying, a road trip so I could walk the red carpet, and documenting my entire life on this blog to name a few)
In the Dogs and their People Book I’ve got an entire page dedicated to me, written by my mom!
The Barkshop even came out with this super fun replica book that doubles as a baby toy (or I guess dog toy depending on who you are)!
So if you’re looking for a cool gift for all your friends this holiday season, or just can’t get enough of yours truly, be sure to grab this fabulous book! It’s got so many fun reads inside that I’m still not finished it completely.

And don’t forget to snag one of the fun toys from the BarkShop. Code AMMO gets you a special surprise at checkout!
A few weeks ago mom picked me out a new toy basket*.
*affiliate link
Once I got over the initial confusion on it’s intended use (I mean it “could” double as a dog bed don’t you think)….it was time to test out it’s real function in holding my toys.
This is going to be a much bigger adjustment than I thought. Perhaps some new toys for my basket with help me with this big change… *wink*
Have you ever caught your dog on camera doing something goofy like me?

Sometimes even us farm dogs need to take a break from chores to have a little fun. So when our new friends over at Tether Tug sent Trooper and I one of their tug toys we knew it would be the perfect way to let out a little energy out on the farm.
Dad set it up in the grass for us by hammering a small pipe into the ground and then you simply pop the tug pole into it. Dad says it’s super simple too to just pull right out and mow over when it’s time to mow the lawn.
Mom initially popped a small treat into the rope to get me interested in it, which totally got me excited about the Tether Tug!
While I certainly love a new toy, I tend to like to just shake or chew my toys to death rather than to play tug with them, but somebody else I know was totally up to the challenge of a good old tugging match to really test out the Tether Tug….
Trooper wasted no time in showing me exactly how you’re supposed to play with the Tether Tug.
Even Cricket ventured out to see what all the commotion was about, and pretty soon we all started cheering for Trooper to PULL HARDER!
And pull he did!
But no matter how hard Trooper pulled that Tether Tug stayed firmly in the ground where it was supposed to be, and boy did Trooper have fun tugging!
The cool thing about these Tether Tugs is that not only do they come in various sizes (for small and big dogs) as well as indoor and outdoor versions, but you can also customize the tugging toy based on the kind of toy your dog likes to tug with. How cool is that!
Check out more of what Tether Tug has to offer and be sure to snag your pup a tug for $10 OFF $40 or more with code AMMO (expires 7/8/16).
And now for the best part…

So I hear that this weekend is Valentine’s Day. A day to spend time with those that you love, and show them that you care.
So when I got wind that my old fling, Amira, was back in town I knew I was going to have to do something special on February 14th.
So I popped over to Petsmart to snag Amira a gift from the Martha Stewart Pets line and set out to profess my love for her.
Only Amira is a bit high maintenance…..
….and she just rolled her eyes and said “You better bring me some more toys, because one is not enough for this lady.”
Sorry Amira, no girlfriend is worth sharing all my Martha Stewart Pets toys…. you’ll just have to get your own!
Would your dog do the same? Happy Early Valentine’s Day everyone!

When it comes to treat dispensing toys, I have to say, I’ve pretty much tried them all! Toys you have to roll around, toys you have to chew, and toys that are just too frustrating that you can’t get one single treat out of.
I have some that I loathe and some that I love, and now thanks to my friends at Chewy.com I can add another one to the love pile!
This here is the Busy Buddy Twist n’ Treat from PetSafe. You add treats to the inside (any size treats will do and you can even use spreadable treats)…
..then simply twist them together creating space for your dog to get the treats out. Twist the sides close together for a more challenging game, and keep it wider apart for an easier game.
I like mine in the middle, not too hard, but not too easy.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some treat dispensing to work on!
You can fetch your dog a Busy Buddy Twist n’ Treat from Chewy.com on sale starting at $5.
Does your dog love treat dispensing toys? Do you have any favorites you think I may not have tried? Do tell!
Over here on the Ammo the Dachshund blog we’re wiener dog lovers (if you haven’t already guessed). So when I stumbled across the fun Dachshund Inspired Toy Baskets from Grets Pet Shop I just knew I had to share them with you!
You can fetch these fun handmade toy baskets from Grets Pet Shop for about $30.
