Pop Art of Your Pup + A Giveaway

What if I told you that this stylish canvas portrait next to me was a me! I bet you never imagined I could be so cool. But I knew, I always knew I had this epic greatness in me, so great that when your new friends at Pop Your Pup offer to turn a photo of you into pop art you don’t hesitate because you know it will be grand.

The cool folks over at Pop Your Pup can create lots of fun items from any photo of your pet. And don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be a professional photo with great lighting, they can make most any image work and turn it into a masterpiece.

Mom helped me pick out some of my favorite photos to send in, and they turned out so fabulous that I couldn’t wait to share them with all of you!

They even have kids sizes in t-shirts too, because you know I couldn’t let Baby P be left out of all the fun!

Not only am I Baby P’s Big Brother, but I’m also her very very favorite thing in the whole wide world.

I mean who can blame her when you look this stylish?

So when I gifted Baby P this pop art t-shirt from Pop Your Pup I was thrilled when she got so excited she started yelling “woof” “woof” (because she can’t say Dog yet).

Now everywhere she goes her big brother can be right by her side!

Mom loved her shirt just as much, although I didn’t quite get the same “woof” “woof” reaction out of her – I’m pretty sure she enjoyed it just the same.

Pop Your Pup made it simple and easy for me to put these smiles on my family’s faces (and don’t worry, Dad was smiling too behind the camera). Simply upload your pet’s photo to their website, choose your products (you can even choose fun background colors and patterns), and in one business day you’ll get a proof to approve. And with unlimited edits to your design, there is no reason you wouldn’t love it!

Pop Art of Your Pup + A Giveaway

While I enjoyed all of the products from Pop Your Pup, I think my favorite had to be the 16″x20″ canvas. Immediately it found a home on the wall with some of my other dog art.

….in the playroom of course! Because I love hearing my little sister bark like a dog when she sees it!

A Dog Toy that Helps Women & Children in Ethiopia + A Giveaway

As dogs there are only a few things Trooper and I think about on a daily basis: Eat, Sleep, Play. Repeat. But what if I told you by doing one of those things there is a way you could help others? Pretty cool, right?

A Dog Toy that Helps Women & Children in Ethiopia + A Giveaway

See my friends over at WO Design have come out with an interactive chew toy (the WO Bone) and a flying disc/tug toy (the WO Disc) that help provide meals for widows & orphans in Ethiopia with every purchase. As of the fall of 2016, WO Design has successfully provided over 13,000 meals for widows & orphans in Ethiopia and has plans for providing aid in other parts of the world (with your help) as well.

A Dog Toy that Helps Women & Children in Ethiopia + A Giveaway

With each WO product you purchase it directly funds meals for widows and orphans globally. WO Design has partnered with an organization in Ethiopia called Bring Love In (BLI) to help feed orphans and widows in their organization, and these meals often represent the highest amount of nutrition that these folks get in any given day.

Now while I love a company that’s mission is to help others, we have to address the important stuff in this review too….like the toys!

Trooper and I got to test out the WO Disc and the WO Bone.

Both toys are made from a soft and durable WO pet material that is BPA-free, phthalate-free, non-toxic and FDA compliant.

A Big Change

Take Your Dog to Work Day // Custom Framing // Ammo the Dachshund

As many of you may already know, I spend most of my weekdays working as a shop dog in a custom framing shop. For the past 7 years I’ve had the very important duty of shop greeter, making people smile on a daily basis! Even though I’ve been doing an amazing job, mom says this year I’m going to get a little help with my job when my new sister comes to the shop to help me handle all my duties. To make some room at the shop for an extra “employee” it was time to make some updates to our work space.

So here’s what my shop used to look like:

Shopping small businesses

Oh The Places You Sleep: Vol. 15 with Ammo the Dachshund

Things were about to change though….

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

Over memorial day weekend dad came in with all his tools and a whole stack of ikea boxes and we got to work building. I spent some late nights at the shop that weekend, but in the end it was worth it!

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

The new design table for all my customers to order their framing on turned out fabulous, even if dad built it a little too tall for us short “people”.

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

With a whole new look to my store there was only one thing left to do….

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

…Zoomies!

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

Now that things are back to business as usual, I’m back to my post at the front door waiting to greet all the customers.

A Big Change - New Studio 3 Shop Layout

And you know what, I’m really starting to love this new bigger space. There’s even more room now for me to stretch out for belly rubs!

So what do you think, do you like my shop’s new layout? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Peach Industries sent me over one of their new Peach Pillow Beds in grey to take for a spin.

As you can see I barely made it all the way onto the bed before I was overcome with it’s super softness. Pillow Bed for sure! This thing is extra soft and comfy, so much so that mom and dad tried to steal it from me. Not gonna lie, I’ve already caught mom lounging on it in front of the TV.

Friday Fetch: Good Dog Build-a-Leash

Customization is one of my favorite things. If you want something cool, then you might as well design it yourself! So when I stumbled across Good Dog Leash, I just knew I had to share their customizable leash options.

By choosing a handle and a coil you can piece together many different color combinations and lengths. How fun!

In my house I’m treated just like any other member of the family, and my mom and dad care for me just like they would any human child (with the exception that I have to do my business outside….what’s up with that?).

So when my new friends over at My Happy Park offered to send me one of their dog birth certificates I thought to myself….I should have had one of these a long time ago!

Once it arrived I couldn’t help but get straight to work picking out some great matting and frames to display it in, on account that I work at the best frame shop in town!

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer : This is a sponsored post and giveaway brought to you by Eclectic Hound.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My new friends over at The Eclectic Hound sent me over this adorable martingale collar to take for a spin.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now Martingale Collars are all the rage right now, but did you know that they were originally designed for sight hounds, such as greyhounds and whippets, whose heads are smaller than their necks and can easily slip out of traditional buckle collars.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The same can be true for Dachshunds and more and more trainers recently have been recommending them for dogs of all breeds and sizes because of their safety.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Designed to slip over your dog’s head, this collar from the Eclectic Hound should then be adjusted so you can fit 1 -2 fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The martingale loop, which functions by gently tightening around the dog’s neck when pressure is applied to the leash, makes it so your dog can’t back out of the collar.

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The Eclectic Hound Shop has so many fun collar designs it can be hard to decide which one to get (or get them all!), but ultimately I chose this preppy alligator design, because I’m pretty sure it makes me look extra tough. Or preppy I guess depending on how you look at it!

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So if you’d like your dog to look preppy and tough at the same time too, you can save 15% off your next purchase at The Eclectic Hound with code AMMO15.

And now for the best part…..

The Eclectic Hound Martingale Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

ONE LUCKY WINNER will receive a COLLAR OF CHOICE from The Eclectic Hound! (winner can choose style (martingale or buckle), width, size and fabric pattern)
