My sunshine doesn’t come from the skies, It comes from the love in my little girl’s eyes.

Trooper’s 10th Birthday
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.
A very very Happy 10th Birthday with my Best Friend!
I’ll even let you win at our wrestling matches today. (only because you’re 10)
xoxo,
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
And even when mom inevitably forgets my dog bowl too, the cup doubles as one as well!
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)
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.
Happy Fri-yay!
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.
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.
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!
What other life lessons do you think I should teach Baby P?
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!
It was crowded, wet and muddy…
…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.
…but, I got to bring along my sister for her very first time at the goat races.
She got wet, and had to eat her snack in the rain…..
…but seeing her squeal and smile when she got to meet some of her favorite animals made it totally worth it!
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!
So yea, rain may have put a damper on the fun, but it was still a fantastic memory to share with my family.
And don’t worry, when I got chilly, Baby P even shared her raincoat with me.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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!)

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.
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!
Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway
Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by RedBarn Inc. All opinions are my own, and I would only share products with you (my lovely readers) that I think you and your pets may love!
A few weeks ago a special little package from my friends at RedBarn Pet Products arrived in the mail. My nose led me straight for it!
And holy moly, if I had know a business built in a little red barn could make all these yummy goodies (and more) I would of had mom pulling over the car at every red barn I saw! While they certainly have outgrown that original red barn since they now make over 200 products including rolled foods, canned foods, bully sticks, filled bones, bones, tendons, hooves, sweet potato treats and many more, they still are made right here in the USA!
While RedBarn totally had me at first sniff, mom always takes a little convincing before she’ll let me sink my teeth into just any treat or bone.
She needn’t worry though, because RedBarn has strict quality assurance specifications in their factories to ensure the freshest product goes out their doors.
Looks like I’ve got the ok to dig right in from mom!
While I’ve been very busy sampling lots of RedBarn products (it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it), I have found a particular something that is my current favorite.
These Bully Nuggets are made from natural beef lung nuggets coated in yummy bully gravy. Sorry, I’m probably making you drool!
That tasty gravy also contains some special ingredients like Salmon Oil and Vitamin E to help support your dog’s joints.
All I know is it was enough to make me roll over 10 times in a row just for a taste!
Totally worth all that rolling over!
You can snag your pup some of these tasty products including the Bully Nuggets from RedBarn by visiting their website for a list of stores near you and online retailers, like my pals over at Chewy.com
And now for the best part….

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