Finally! Yesterday I got to have a true Snow Day! Which means I didn’t have to go to work, and I got to spend the day playing with my family in the snow.
This was Baby P’s first big snow, and I was so excited to show her exactly what to do on a snow day.
We make snow angels on Snow Days.
And we go sledding on Snow Days.
And we curl up on the couch and wait for mom to make us a warm beverage on snow days!
What do you do on snow days? 
Over the weekend Spring arrived. Although it didn’t really feel like it (hence my bundled up self on the farm in the picture above). While my first Spring adventures didn’t involve weekend hiking trips, camping, or travels, I still got to spend time with my family – which is really all the adventure I need!
From good morning kisses with my best friend Trooper on the farm…
(even when he maybe found them a bit embarrassing in front of the ponies!)
….to waiting for mom to finish painting my basement playroom….
…and even napping on the couch after farm chores…
…the best part of every adventure is getting to share it with the ones I love!
I’m looking forward to many more “adventures” this year. How about you?

Being a dog with an odd shaped body (hello short legs and long body) I know how hard it can be to find pet clothing that fits. And lets be honest, looks cool too!
Thanks to my friends at Pepper Petwear I’ve found a new company that can accommodate any dog shaped body you can imagine!
Their handmade in Hungary dog coats, jackets, dog raincoats, dog sweaters, and dog collars can be made to fit any breed! You can even choose custom colors in several different styles. I decided to test out the Extra Warm Winter Coat (for those cold Pennsylvania winters) in the turquoise with grey fleece.
After sending off my measurements it arrived in the mail not long after. One of my favorite features it that it’s got lots of velcro straps for plenty of adjustments (should your dog’s weight ever change, or perhaps you want to add an extra layer for warmth underneath).
My new jacket even has these great reflective strips on the sides for added visibility.
I also requested the addition of a harness hole, which makes it easier for me to put my seatbelt on in the car or go for a walk when I’m wearing my harness underneath.
When I’m asked to review pet products I take the job pretty seriously, and no dog coat gets my stamp of approval without testing on the farm. Because lets face it, farm life is not exactly gentle on pet wear and I had to make sure it would stand up the rigors of all my outdoor adventures.
My new Pepper Petwear coat held up for (repeated) trips under the farm fencing.
It survived excursions in the manure pile (and didn’t stink too terribly bad afterwards).
It didn’t rip when I climbed through brush and sticks.
It still gave me plenty of freedom to dig (and didn’t hold onto the dirt).
And most importantly I could still run just as fast while wearing it! I’d say it’s definitely Ammo the Farm Dog APPROVED!
If you’d like to snag your pet one of these great coats be sure to visit Pepper Petwear! You can even use code pepperpetwear10 for 10% off your order!
And don’t forget, they can make coats for big dogs too, and with Spring just about here it’s the perfect time to grab your dog a new raincoat!
Now for the best part…

And now it’s time for my February adventures…
I FINALLY shared the after pictures from my big kitchen remodel that started last summer.
I attended a surprise Birthday Party, but spent the night hanging out with one guest only.
I shared a humane anti-barking solution to help all those barking dogs out there.
I shared another collection of places I was enjoying sleeping during the month.
I celebrated Valentine’s Day with a special gal pal.
I shared all the ways I like to keep my teeth squeaky clean during Pet Dental Health Month.
I made the biggest mess ever (and it was so much fun!)
I shared how I plan to grow old with my BFF Trooper.
I got caught on camera being “bad” again.
My mom used a few simple tools to teach me how to play fetch even better!
Trooper and I disagreed on how to be great farm lookouts.
I shared what I’m doing now that I have a home system to look out for all my security (Plus Bonus…you can enter my GIVEAWAY!)
And that brings us to March! I’m excited for what this month will bring, especially since the first day of Spring is oh so close! I can hardly wait.
What are you looking forward to most during the month of march?
As barn dogs, there is always a lot of tasks for Trooper and I to do. And to be honest, this farm just wouldn’t run properly without us.
Trooper is always on my case to help him be a lookout. “Lookout for low flying birds” “Lookout for cars pulling down the farm driveway” “Lookout for anything suspicious and out of the ordinary”
I on the other hand usually have my own ideas about what we should be actually looking out for.
What about “Lookout for the snakes that accidentally get baled in the hay”
Or “Lookout for yummy missed poop in the pony stalls”
“Lookout for people in boots who might mistakenly step on you”
And “Lookout for ponies who look cute, but are really thinking maybe they didn’t get enough to eat”.
So Trooper can keep a lookout for strangers who might want to brush our ponies (the horror), and whatever other boring stuff he comes up with….
…and I’ll continue to lookout for the important stuff. Because we all know that pony poop isn’t going anywhere except for my belly!
Napping is an art form around here, and I’m never one to disappoint with a whole new collection of sleeping spots this month! Check out where I’ve been snoozing over the past few weeks…
Which spot would you be sleeping in if you were me?
Check out where else I’ve been sleeping in my “Oh the Places You Sleep” series!
My fun day in the snow after winter storm Jonas last weekend didn’t end after I helped my dad dig us out, because my ponies on the farm needed to be cared for too!
So Trooper and I bundled up and got ready to help with all the farm chores!
Once all my ponies were fed, and the stalls were mucked, it was time to have a little fun.
And just like that we were off! (bet you can’t even spot me way up ahead of Trooper…he can never catch me!)
Boomerang is always our first stop, because he’s ALWAYS up for a good time in the snow.
His toothy grin pretty much says it all, and I’m pretty sure he wishes it was a snow day everyday.
Yup, Boomer definitely knows how to have a good time in the snow!
Two can play at that game Boomer! Because I know how to have a good time in the snow too!
Even my pal Minnow wanted to get in on the action.
Trooper did pretty well keeping up with Minnow despite the deep snow…
….I of course tried my little heart out to keep up too, but lets face it, 26+ inches of snow is not exactly friendly to us short dogs. #shortdogproblems
So I relegated myself to the spectators side of the fence to get a better view of the pony show.
And my pal Minnow did not disappoint! He put on a grand show for me in the snow.
Overall it was a perfect snow day on the farm with my ponies. I can’t wait to do it again soon!
When winter storm Jonas hit my area on Friday night I was ready for it! Although when I awoke the next day in the midst of the storm, I wasn’t quite prepared for having to make a trek to find a spot to pee!
Good thing mom was on hand to help me trek through the Blizzard in search of a spot!
Although, I may have gotten a bit distracted as to the purpose of this excursion! I spent most of the day on Saturday curled up inside waiting for the winds and snow to die down so I could actually go outside and play.
By Sunday the storm had ended, and we were left with 26+ inches of glorious snow and I was ready to go outside and play!
Dad thoughtfully shoveled me a potty area in the backyard, but as you know, I like to blaze my own trail!
I know there is a lot of dogs out there that don’t like the cold, wet snow to touch their paws, but I’m not one of them! I love to explore in the snow, and mom and dad end up having to make me come inside because I’ll stay out there until I’m shivering.
Check out the fun video below of me enjoying my snow day….
Eventually I had to help dad clear the driveway, as were were pretty much snowed in at that point.
It’s a good thing I’m not very good at holding a shovel, because clearing the driveway was hard work!
By mid-day Dad had cleared just enough that we could get out for a walk.
So I took the opportunity to visit the neighborhood kids who were having a blast “attempting” to sled in the deep snow.
Stay tuned on Friday for the continuation of my snow day adventures, where I got to play with my ponies on the farm!
Does your dog enjoy playing in the snow?
I hear that this weekend a big snowstorm is headed my way. So far they are predicting 12 – 18 inches of the fluffy white stuff.
Don’t worry though, I’m totally prepared and have already readied my snow day outfit! Bring on Blizzard Jonas! After all, I’ve weathered my fair share of snow storms over the years….
…and so many more it’s hard to count!
So which dogs out there are excited to get some snow tomorrow?

So when my mom and dad upgraded my kitchen this summer, they also upgraded the dining room table too.
(and yes, I know I STILL haven’t shared the “after” images of my DIY Kitchen remodel, but my dad still has some things he’s finishing up. And being a perfectionist, he wants me to share my beautiful kitchen when it’s COMPLETELY done!)
Being that it’s the month of family gatherings and holiday dinners, I thought my table could use a little something to festive it up.
So when I received a package from my friends over at Lupo & Olimp, I was thrilled to find something to not only dress up me….but my table too!
This beautiful handmade linen tablecloth features some very talented dachshunds baking apple strudel. Yum!
The really fun part is that it even comes with a tasty Apple Strudel recipe so you can make some at home too.
Each dachshund in the design is modeled after a real life dachshund! See anyone you know?
The Apple Strudel design even comes in a fun tea towel too!
So I decided there was only one thing to do with my new linen table cloth….I threw on my adorable new Lupo & Olimp fleece and invited some of my friends to a dinner party!
Only Mr. Reindeer and Toy Minnow could show up (and mom wouldn’t let me bring the real Minnow the pony in the house….boo!), but that’s ok, because that means more food for me!
I wonder if Apple Strudel is made with bacon?
All my dinner guests were admiring my beautiful handmade fleece from Lupo & Olimp. And I have to say, it’s one of the thickest, warmest coats I’ve ever worn.
These awesome coats come in lots of other fun designs too, and the best part is they can be custom made to fit your own dachshund’s unique shape.
All the way from Poland, and sewn with love and care, I can’t wait to strut my stuff this winter in these warm and cozy fleeces. My ponies are going to be so jealous when they see them!
You can still fetch some of these fun fleeces and home accessories in time for Christmas from Lupo & Olimp.
And now for the best part…
THREE WINNERS WILL WIN EITHER A CUSTOM COAT, TEA TOWEL, OR TABLE CLOTH FROM LUPO & OLIMP!
