Trooper’s 10th Birthday

Trooper as a Puppy // Ammo the Dachshund

Today is a very special day. No I didn’t get a new puppy sibling, this adorable picture is of my best pal Trooper when he was just a wee pup! And today is his 10th Birthday!!! Can you believe it?

Trooper is my oldest friend, and the very first dog I met when my parent’s adopted me. He’s taken care of me since day 1 and I’m so lucky to have him in my life.

Over the years Trooper and I have shared pretty much everything. From apples…

…to adventures….

….and the occasional kiss.

But I do draw the line at sharing my treats with him. Sorry Bud.

Dog Food on the Go with The Honest Kitchen

Disclaimer: This post is brought to you by The Honest Kitchen. I received product in exchange for a review. But don’t worry, I only share products I think you and your pets will love, not to mention it’s a healthy food I eat myself on a daily basis.

Honest Kitchen Cups

If you’ve been following my adventures for a while now, then you probably know that I’m a big fan of the dehydrated raw pet food company, The Honest Kitchen. I’ve been eating their recipes for years now, and it still totally gets my tail wagging.

Honest Kitchen Cups

So when they came out with a new product I couldn’t wait to test it out! Their new single serve cups are exactly what I needed for my busy lifestyle.

Honest Kitchen Cups

These cups come in several bestselling recipes Force, Love and Embark and make 12oz of food, the same as a can of dog food would!

Honest Kitchen Cups

All you have to do is add water to the cup and then serve to your dog. One cup can be served per 20lbs of body weight.

Honest Kitchen Cups

Mom loves these to-go cups because she no longer has to measure out my food in the morning into a tavel bag in the event we won’t be home for dinner (which happens a lot). Instead she just grabs one of The Honest Kitchen’s cups and we’re out the door.

Honest Kitchen Cups

So when I find myself on the farm for a late night dinner – mom’s always prepared with my favorite foods. Since I tend to not need as much food as most companies recommend for a dog my size – I only eat 1/2 a cup at each meal.

Honest Kitchen Cups

And even when mom inevitably forgets my dog bowl too, the cup doubles as one as well!

Honest Kitchen Cups

These cups are sold in select stores only, find out if your local store carries them.

And if you’d like to give The Honest Kitchen Food a try for your dog, you can snag a FREE SAMPLE BUNDLE (discount applied at checkout)Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Bubble Bath

It’s Fri-Yay! And today I leave you with something to make you smile for the rest of the weekend. Well, mom says it makes her smile – personally it makes me wish I was outside rolling in a pile of stink instead of sitting in a bubble bath with my sister. To each his own.

At least one of us is enjoying it.

Life Lesson Number One

Now that I’m a big brother it’s my duty to teach Baby P all the important stuff. #1 on the life lesson list, how to dig a proper hole.

Rescue on the Farm

As you can see, Baby P was super excited to learn this life lesson. That’s my girl, she totally gets it. You just never know when you’re going to need to dig something, so always come prepared with those two little shovels on the bottom of your arms!

Dirt filled baths, and dirty finger nails are totally in our future.

Rescue on the Farm

Up next, how to navigate to the critters in the woods. We’ve got a whole lot of life lessons to get through this summer, so we better get started!

Goats that Race

Goats that Race

Last weekend I grabbed my rain coat, hopped on a bus and headed off on another adventure to the Slyfox Goat Races!

Goats that Race

It was crowded, wet and muddy…

Goats that Race

…and the closest I got to actually seeing the goats race was to pose in front of one for a selfie. Yea, not super ideal.

Goats that Race

…but, I got to bring along my sister for her very first time at the goat races.

Goats that Race

She got wet, and had to eat her snack in the rain…..

Goats that Race

…but seeing her squeal and smile when she got to meet some of her favorite animals made it totally worth it!

Goats that Race

And we both agreed, the “mascot” had nothing on the real goat racers. Baby P and I were less than impressed.

I mean, just look at those REAL goats run! Impressive!

Goats that Race

So yea, rain may have put a damper on the fun, but it was still a fantastic memory to share with my family.

Goats that Race

And don’t worry, when I got chilly, Baby P even shared her raincoat with me.

Goats that Race

Here’s to hoping next year’s races are a little less damp….because Baby P and I are already begging mom and dad for a goat of our own. My pony Minnow already promised he’d help look after it on the farm. Pppppplllllease!

One of my favorite things at the goat races is listening to the names of all the goats announced over the loudspeakers. My favorite one this year was Baahhhbara. If Baby P and I ever do get that goat we want, what do you think we should name it? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

Well it’s happened again, that smiley little sister of mine is another month older. Boy time flies when you’re having fun!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

As you can see we are no longer sitting or laying down for our photos (apparently I’m the only one that can comply to the “sit” command) since Baby P is now cruising everywhere on the furniture and anything she can get her hands on.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

I’m also a bit concerned, because Baby P has sprouted 2 shiny teeth, and if we’re being honest, they are way sharper than mine. Which means she probably will get first dibs on all the good chew bones. Sigh.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

I guess I should be used to it by now, after all, she already steals all my dog toys too. Like this pretzel from my pals at the Barkshop*. (P.S. you can use code AMMO at checkout for a special surprise!)

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

I guess I don’t mind sharing though, because Baby P gets in trouble on a daily basis for continuing to throw food off her high chair for me. She can be very thoughtful like that. Siblings gotta look out for each other, it’s a rule.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 9

Mom says Baby P might be walking pretty soon and that I better learn how to pick up my toys better if I don’t want her to play with ALL of them. Secretly I just hope she breaks every last one so I can get new toys. 😉 A dog can dream.

Happy 9 Months Baby P!

Just for fun, what date do you think Baby P will start walking? Leave me a guess in the comments below, we shall see who gets the closest! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Jail Break

Now that Spring is here my family has moved our activities to outside! I was so excited to show my sister all the fun stuff we can do outdoors, but then something terrible happened.

Jail Break

Baby P got to come outside, but she ended up INSIDE my dog pen!

Jail Break

Neither one of us was thrilled about the whole thing, and honestly I was a bit surprised it was her in the pen and not me. I mean after all she doesn’t eat things she shouldn’t, roll in smelly stuff, chew on sticks, or wander too far…….or wait…….maybe she does actually do some of those things.

Regardless, I devised a plan to free my very best friend….

Jail Break

Jail Break in progress. Don’t tell our mom, and hurry, grab a shovel and help us!

What sort of mischief do you think we should get into once I free P?Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

I’m Digging: Vol 2

Because everyone knows I’ve got the best taste out of all the dogs out there (they’re all super jelly) I’ve rounded up some of my favorite things this week.

*This is not a sponsored post, but does include some affiliate links. But don’t worry, I would only share products I am truly passionate about!

Here’s what I’m digging this week:

GoGo Stik

Mom actually purchased this item, the GoGo Stik for me off of Amazon just before Easter. What is it? Well it’s a handy tool for my parents to use to pick up my poo! You can use any plastic bag with it (grocery bags work great) and it makes it easy for the ‘rents to pick up my mess in the back yard with one hand (while holding the baby with the other). They’ve already used it a few times now and think it’s fantastic!

Baby Placemat

Baby P just got this silicone placemat from Amazon. I like it because it’s got a cute dog shape, which is of course P’s favorite animal, and mom likes it because it suctions (really well) to her high chair which helps keep the food from falling on the floor. (don’t worry, she still throws plenty of treats my way!).

The Farmer's Dog

Several months ago I got to test out a new food called The Farmer’s Dog (which I totally forgot to tell you about until now). Not only did I dig the name, but I dug the food too. Fresh cooked food gets delivered to your door for your pet, the bulk of which you freeze for later. I scarfed up all the goodness for several weeks and while I loved the food it was a little difficult for my lifestyle since I tend to eat my food on the go a lot (and this stuff needs to stay in the fridge or freezer). But for dogs that don’t have that problem it’s a great healthy option that as a bonus requires no additional work for your humans!

*full disclosure, I did receive a free sample to test out, but I wouldn’t be telling you about it if I didn’t think it was good for your dogs too.

Suddenly I’ve realized this entire post has turned into a roundup for eating and pooping products…..which also pretty much sums up my life. 😉
