Birthday Wrap-up

Posted on October 16, 2012 by Ammo

A long overdue post, I bet you guys are wondering what exciting things I did on my day of birth (October 5th). And more importantly, what goodies did Mom and Dad get me?

When it comes to presents, I’m an unwrapping fool! I can unwrap a present faster than you can blink – a glorious achievement!

After the chaos ensued, I was left with some lovely Birthday gifts from my very generous parents.

It was a very happy day.

My Birthday bounty included a new collar from Mattie & Margot, a lime green hand-knitted sweater from By Chance Designs, a jar of Pet Fair Noshers to fill my toys, a toy and bag of cookies from my bestest friend Trooper, and a Kicker Box.

I felt like the luckiest boy in the World! And after a little bit of celebratory barking, mom agreed to let me test out my new Kicker Box.

The Kicker Box is a toy designed to challenge a dog, and get them thinking as they try to figure out how to get the treats out of the box by moving the nobs from side to side and up and down. And after about 5 minutes, I knew why they called it a kicker box…..

….because I wanted to kick that dang box to the curb! Seriously, all I wanted was my cookies and this box was keeping them all to himself. This must have been some sort of cruel joke.

But since I’m a pretty smart guy, I eventually figured out how to move the nobs and release my treats. It’s still a cruel joke is you ask me though!

My 4th Birthday was loads of fun, and I’m so glad I got to celebrate it all week with all my friends. Now begins my countdown to Christmas, when I get to open all my presents from Santa! Yay!

Disclosure: I was not paid or perked to write about any of these products. I simply wanted to share all the goodies I got for my Birthday!

Decisions. Decisions.

The other day I got to take a much needed trip to Petco.

And by much needed, I mean I NEEDED new toys.

After agonizing over the perfect toy to choose I picked out these two and was excited to give them a whirl when I got home.

I was having a grand time playing with my new toys in my yard when my neighbor Harley the Rottweiler peeked her head over the fence.

New toys are grand, but having a real friend to play with is so much sweeter.

Fashion Show! compliments of Bullseye

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Ammo

So today when I got to work there was a surprise package for me waiting at the shop. I’m no stranger to getting mail at the shop, but this was an unexpected package.

When I opened it up it was filled with goodies from the Polka Dog Bakery at Target! And there was a letter from Bullseye the Target Dog saying he noticed my post online and wanted to send me a couple of his favorite Polka Dog Products.

I was totally blushing that Bullseye even knew my name!! And then I realized there was really only one thing to do when a package of goodies arrives at the shop……FASHION SHOW!

Somehow Bullseye knew that all the Polka Dog products would match perfectly with my Super Hero Cape too.

Friday Fetch: Mr Chewy

Posted on November 4, 2011 by Ammo

I was super excited when my pals over at Mr Chewy offered me a chance to test out their website. Their tag line? Delivering Pet Happiness – basically I was sold.

Mr Chewy is a website that sells pet food, treats, and toys at everyday low prices. The best part, you can get it shipped right to your front door with free shipping on orders over $49.

When I went to check out the website, the first thing on my mind was FOOD. So I was super stoked when I saw that they carry my pet food of choice, Wellness, which also happened to be a tad cheaper than at my local pet store too. So I loaded up my cart in their easy to navigate site with the essential dry dog food and of course a few other items that I thought would be fun to try.

mr chewy

Here’s a list of what made it into my shopping cart:

12 lb. Bag of Wellness Small Breed Adult Dog Food
Merrick “The Sarge” Dog Bone
Flossies Spiral Chews 6″ – 8″ by Merrick
Merrick G.I. Bone Dog Chews 4″ – 6″
Blue Buffalo Blue Mini Bars Chicken & Cheese

Three days later there was a package waiting for me at my front door.

I wasted no time digging into my package full for goodies from Mr Chewy.

ammo the dachshund mr chewy

Everything smelled so wonderful, but I quickly pulled out my favorite pick of the bunch.

ammo the dachshund mr chewy

If you’re wondering how I liked it, just check out my eyes, no explanation needed!

The best part about ordering from Mr Chewy is that it saved me a 12 mile trip to my local pet shop to get more dog food. Which means I have way more time in my day for more adventures! Yipee!

As a bonus you can even schedule monthly deliveries of your favorite products like dog food and flea & tick prevention. Plus you can save 15% when you schedule your first delivery. I’m thinking I need a monthly delivery of bones & cookies – now if I can just locate mom’s credit card!

You can check out Mr Chewy by visiting their website or following them on facebook & twitter.

Disclosure – I was given a gift certificate from my pals at Mr Chewy in exchange for a review of their site. However, all opinions are entirely my own!
