Hiking through the Forrest

Hiking through the Forrest // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend I went on a fun hiking adventure with my pal Shilah the Husky. Shilah and I both like to get out an be adventurous when the weather is nice, so we decided to practice our hiking for an upcoming camping trip we will be going on this summer.

Shilah led the way most of the time because she’s ALWAYS gotta be the lead “sled dog”, but I was happy to trail along behind and pick up on all the scents she missed.

We got muddy.

We got wet.

And we enjoyed every minute of it.

And when we hit the open fields….

…I told Shilah to fall back, because I was in the lead now! And I had caught the scent of a rabbit!

And nobody’s better at tracking rabbits than me!

What kind of adventures did you go on this past weekend?

Don’t worry, no rabbits were harmed. (this time)

Purple Possum Dachshund Scarf Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at Purple Possum recently sent me this beautiful navy and white Dachshund Scarf to review. I guess technically it’s for my mom, but when I spotted how soft and big (70 inches x 37 inches) it was I knew I would be able to find many uses for it!

So since sharing creative ways to wear a scarf is all the rage, I figured I would come up with my list of 9 Ways to Wear a Dachshund Scarf (on your dachshund).

Purple Possum Dachshund Scarf Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

#1 The Snoopy: this classic look channels your inner Snoopy, all that’s missing is the flying dog house!

#9 The Naptime Companion: Never be lonely again on your afternoon nap with this cuddly use for your scarf.

I could on and on as there are tons of uses for my new Dachshund Scarf from Purple Possum, but I figured you’ll probably want to come up with some of your own looks too!

Chewy.com Wellness Petite Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

I recently got the chance to test out a package of these Wellness Petite Bites from my friends at Chewy.com. Now I’m quite familiar with the Wellness brand, in fact I eat their grain-free small breed kibble on a daily basis, so I had no doubt that I would love their small breed snacks.

Chewy.com Wellness Petite Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

These Grain-Free Petite Treats are just the right size for small breed dogs. They contain the healthy ingredients their little bodies deserve. Each mini-bite is packed with great flavor from whole foods along with flaxseed to promote a healthy, shiny coat. Without artificial colors or flavors, these healthy treats are perfect for training, treating or just plain spoiling!

A couple of weekends ago I popped this package of Wellness Petite Bites into my travel bag and hit the hiking trail with my pal Shilah the Husky.

Chewy.com Wellness Petite Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Even though they are designed for the smaller breeds, both Shilah and I both had no problem snacking on them to keep our energy up on our walk.

Chewy.com Wellness Petite Treats Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Not to be limited to the hiking trail only, I also happily munched on my petite treats when mom snapped a few photos of me the other day.

And let me tell you, I won’t hold a pinwheel in my mouth for just any old treat! It’s got to be yummy!

Toys for Ponies & Dogs

Toys for Ponies & Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

My ponies recently got a new toy to play with in their pasture.

Toys for Ponies & Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Mom fills it with bits of hay and horse treats, and the ponies proceed to bite, kick, and roll it around the pasture in the hopes that one will eventually pop out of the hole.

Toys for Ponies & Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

It was quite obvious they had no idea what they were doing. So being that I’m so well versed in the art of interactive toys, I offered to show them how it’s done.

Toys for Ponies & Dogs // Ammo the Dachshund

Alright fine, I rolled and kicked it too! Apparently pony toys are built to last!

How is your dog at mastering interactive toys?

Happy!

Throwback Thursday: Blizzard with a Dachshund

Posted on February 13, 2014 by Ammo

Ammo the Dachshund // Snowday

While this year it seems the winter storms have come in full force to my area, for the past couple of years we haven’t really had any record snowfall. In fact, the last time we had big blizzards like this I was just a wee pup. So today for Throwback Thursday I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some old snow videos circa 2009!
