Happy Thanksgiving Friends! What a wonderful day to celebrate and be thankful for all that you have and today I am thankful for my lovely lovely readers!
And also for Barkbox….
…oh yes, my lovely lovely Barkbox that appeared at my door packed with all the goodies I need to stuff my face this Thanksgiving day!
I’m so excited to get cooking, well ok, mostly get eating…but you know what I mean!
And thanks to Barkbox I even have a happy little chef to help me in the kitchen this year. Although I totally have my eye on him as I caught him sneaking some of my beef stew already!
If he behaves perhaps I’ll let him lick the after dinner plates with me.
But you know, the real fun always comes after the big feast, when everyone hunkers down on the couch to snooze off all that turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes.
And comfy clothes are also a total MUST! Happy Thanksgiving Friends!
If you want to fetch your dog a Barkbox Subscription to be excited about too, make sure you use coupon code AMMO5 for 10% off!

As an avid adventure dog I love anything that has to do with adventures! And seeing as how my previous Adventure Awaits t-shirt created numerous inquiries as to where people could purchase them – I figured my adventurous taste in clothing could help to benefit the dogs in need this holiday season!

It’s also available in this fun grey hoodie (because even when it’s cold you can still go on adventures).

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Hagen.
My new friends at Hagen recently sent me a fun package of goodies to try, and oh boy, I bet you can imagine my excitement when these showed up at my door!
First up we had these natural treats from the Zoe and Hagen Heritage line.
Zoe Treats Key Features :
Hagen Heritage Key Features:
Next up we had the Tasty Bones in a Peppermint Dental Bone (on the left) and Venison Gourmet Edible Bone (on the right).
The Dental bone is made of a tough nylon and flavoring and is designed to help clean teeth while your pet chews on it. I haven’t gone to town on the Dental bone just yet, but mom says from the look and feel of it it will likely hold up to my tough choppers.
As you can see I made a b-line for Gourmet Edible Tasty Bone.
The Gourmet range of edible bones comes in a variety of flavors and is made of starch based biopolymer, food grade coloring, and synthetic flavoring. Hagen claims that it is perfectly safe for your pet to ingest small fragments that will pass through your dog’s system harmlessly.
I think the key word here might be small fragments.
Seeing as how I’m what mom labels a “tough chewer” (seriously I can devour even the toughest of toys in mere minutes), I started to break off some fairly large chunks of the edible bone rather quickly.
Mom was worried I might choke on some of the bigger pieces I was breaking off, so I think this bone may be better suited for a dog that isn’t as strong a chewer as I am. But I guess my enthusiasm for the bone proved how yummy it tasted!
But there was a toy in my Hagen goodies that was definitely going to hold up to some rougher play, the Zeus Bomber!
Bomber Key Features:
The Zeus Bomber comes in two sizes, Medium (7″) and Small (4.5″) and as you can see the one I received was the larger size.
Since the medium was just a bit too heavy for me to play with Mom said we should gift it to my bestie Trooper. And let me tell you, Trooper LOVED IT! He could of played with that thing for hours!
Although once I caught wind that we would be gifting it to Trooper mom caught me running around the house with it from room to room – trying to prove that it wasn’t in fact too large for me to play with! Perhaps I’ll have to ask for the small size for Christmas! *wink*
You can check out all these products and more at Hagen.
And now for the best part….

Recently I went to my annual vet check-up, and while I got a clean bill of health (yay!), my vet did suggest I get back on the teeth brushing bandwagon.
Truth be told, I sort of fell off that bandwagon a while ago. I know, shame on me.
While I wouldn’t consider myself a “difficult” patient when it comes to teeth brushing, it’s not exactly easy to brush them.
I blame it on a tiny little mouth, and the fact that I have these clumsy paws. It just ends up being sort of awkward.
So when my friends over at Chewy.com sent me some of these TropiClean Fresh Breath +Plus Advanced Cleaning System Dental Dog Treats I was excited to try something yummy to clean my teeth instead.
Since mom always checks the ingredients on my treats first she was glad to see they were safe: Potato Starch, Tapioca Starch, Glycerin, Dried Beet Pulp, Natural Chicken Flavor, Cane Molasses, Chicken, Gelatin, Ground Flaxseed, Water, Poultry Fat (Preserved with mix tocopherols) Sodium Bicarbonate, Lecithin, Parsley Flakes, Green Tea Extract, Sorbic Aced (preservative), Blueberry Powder, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Proteinate, Rosemary Extract.
So, let’s give these treats a whirl, and get my lovely smile back to pearly white!
Only time will tell if these chews will help to clean up my teeth, but I’m going to try my hardest to keep up with the regime, especially since it tastes so good!
To help aide in my new adventure towards whiter teeth, mom also purchased me some of this Clean Teeth Gel made by Tropiclean.
Key Benefits
No toothbrush required is my favorite benefit, and mom says the ingredients aren’t so bad either: Purified Water, Natural Derived Alcohol, Natural Mint, Glycerin, Natural Cleanser, Carbopol, Chlorophyllin, Green Tea Leaf Extract.
I’ll be sure to give you all an update next month on if my teeth are any whiter and brighter!

Every year I host an Epic Halloween Party at my house, where all the party goers are required to dress up within a certain theme. This year’s theme was dead people, as in celebrities, historical figures, or characters that are no longer living or met their fate in a movie or tv show. As you already know, I dressed up as the American Icon, Evel Knievel.
Dad decided to dress as Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s and Mom was Ellie from Up.
One of these years we keep saying we’ll all dress up as a group costume – maybe next year will be the year!
I was really excited when my best friend Trooper showed up to my party though, dressed as the equally as famous, Rin Tin Tin.
Well before my time, I did have to google a photo of him – but he sounded like a pretty cool dog!
And just like most dogs, Mr. Rin Tin Tin had a thing for Evel Knievel helmets – mostly because my head resembled one great big tennis ball!
You know it’s going to be a good party when Rin Tin Tin and Evel Knievel have a wrestling match before it even gets started!
My party ended up being a smashing success – even if I did have to wait in the refreshment line exceptionally long!
And by the end of the night, this Evel Knievel was pooped! I better rest up though, because it will be time for my annual Halloween Party again before I know it!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween weekend, I know I sure did. I’ll be back later this week to share my Halloweenie adventures with you, but today I wanted to share with you a new product that I’m very excited about!
Ruffwear’s new Front Range Harness is great for everyday wear, and a snap to put on your dog.
It has an aluminum V-Ring on the back for easy leash attachment, I also use mine in the car and it easily attaches to my seatbelt.
It also comes with a reinforced webbing attachment on the front so you can attach a leash there for additional control or training.
Mom and Dad also liked how there was padding underneath the buckles in the back, which makes it quick and easy to put my harness on without the risk of the buckles pinching my skin.
Another cool feature is the hidden ID pocket. Inside the little flap that says ID is a tether so you can attach your dog’s identification, then neatly tuck it into the pocket. It’s great for the hiking trail so you don’t have to worry about your dog’s tags getting caught on things.
And for the sake of never having enough ways to keep your dog safe, the inside of the harness also has a handy tag that you can write your dog’s name and phone number on, should they ever get lost (or should you ever loose your super cool new harness).
The Ruffwear Front Range Harness comes in 4 fun colors – Pacific Blue (which I’m wearing), Twilight Gray, Alpenglow Pink, and Campfire Orange.
If you follow me on Facebook, you may have already noticed that I’ve been wearing my Front Range Harness for all of my most recent adventures! It’s quickly become my favorite go – to walking harness.
And even though typically I prefer a harness that doesn’t go between my front legs, this one doesn’t seem to incumber the way I walk and I actually quite enjoy wearing it.
But wether I’m hiking the trails, or taking a stroll through town it’s comfortable enough to wear everywhere I go!
You can fetch your own Front Range Harness from Ruffwear for $39.95 in a variety of sizes for big and small dogs.
And now for the best part….
ONE LUCKY WINNER WILL WIN A FRONT RANGE HARNESS FROM RUFFWEAR!

What spooktacular plans do you have this weekend?
Happy Halloweenie Friends!

So seeing as how we’re just a few short days away from Halloween (or Halloweenie as I like to call it), I decided it was time to officially share my costume for this year. As you might already know, I’ve made it my mission each year to come up with a handmade costume (with some help from my mom and dad) – and this year was no exception!
Of all the super heroes that have graced the pages of Marvel comics, there is only one real life superhero (well aside from me) …… Evel Knievel. And the legend lives on with my Halloween Costume this year!
Evel Knievel was known as King of the Daredevils as he flew through the air on his motorcycle – over canyons, mountain lions, rattlesnakes, even buses.
Of course when I chose to be him this Halloween I couldn’t help but envy his costume fashion flare and brave (albeit maybe a bit foolish too) daredevil antics.
I’m glad he at least opted to wear a helmet!
Considering Evel Knievel broke a record 32 bones in his career, which landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records, I knew some precautions had to be taken before I attempted my first daredevil feat.
So to prepare, I practiced falling…..gracefully. Well as gracefully as one can when flying through the air on a motorcycle.
So after a thorough practice session on “landing” I headed out to the backyard to attempt my first stunt.
Mom helped me set up some ramps, and I double triple checked them for safety.
But seeing as how I was a little short on school buses for my first daredevil stunt, I had to improvise and use ponies instead.
Also, I had a little trouble coming by a motorcycle, but not to worry – Mom’s vacuum seemed like the perfect thing to carry me through the air.
Now if you’re particularly nervous about watching a dachshund dressed as Evel Knievel riding a vacuum over several ponies than I suggest you close your eyes for this next part. It’s not for the faint of heart.
Better yet, I’ll spare you all the scary details and just let you know that I did it! I landed safely on the other side – clearing the ponies, and gently navigating my vacuum to the ground.
But you know what, after my hair raising adventure through the air, I decided I’m much safer with all 4 feet on the ground.
Especially when my October Barkbox showed up at my door!
Packed full of lots of yummy Halloweenie goodies just for me, it totally got my into the spooky spirit! (As if wearing an Evel Knievel costume wasn’t Halloweenie enough)
Did you know that Barkbox has a new program called Scout’s Honor – and if you or your pup isn’t completely happy with an item, the BarkHappy team will replace it with something better suited – or issue a credit of equal value to the brand new BarkShop.
My favorite this month? This Plush Puppies Invincibles Cat!
And now that my Barkbox has arrived, something tells me I won’t be making it to the other side on my next big jump!
If you want to fetch your dog a Barkbox Subscription to be excited about too, make sure you use coupon code AMMO5 for 15% off this month only! Only a few days left!
And now, I leave you with an Evel Knievel quote…
“Kids want to be like me, men want to be me, and the women want to be with me” – Evel Knievel
Happy Halloweenie everyone!
