A few weeks ago this interesting looking pool* showed up in my beach ponies’ arena.

I thought, well isn’t this nice, how did they know that no beach is complete without some “ocean”. Just as I was about to take a dip I had a thought…
…what if the real fun was UNDER the pool? Naturally I’m an inquisitive fellow, and you can’t help but wonder.
So a digging we will go!
Sadly the only excitement was in actually digging the hole. So it looks like my new pool will just have to wait for warmer days this summer when I can sun bathe on my beach and take a dip afterwards.
And I think I’ll have to share my pool pass too, because Blitz has been waiting patiently for his turn next!
It’s come to my attention that I never really properly introduced some of my new friends on the farm. (those two frosty gals behind me).
Now if my friends Etna & Aldis look a bit chilly, not to worry….they actually LOVE the cold because they hail from Iceland!
That’s right, these Icelandic Horses are a unique breed of smallish horses that came to Iceland with the first settlers from Norway 1100 years ago. Archeological digs in Europe have revealed that they are descendent from an ancient breed of horses that is now extinct outside of Iceland, where it has been preserved in isolation.
To be honest, in the beginning I wasn’t really sure they were horses at all with all that wild hair.
But eventually that sassy pony stink eye emerged, and I knew, yup….horses for sure!
One thing is for sure though, it must be pretty nice to not be bothered by the cold! I admit, I’m pretty jealous of their ability to thrive in the cold. At least summer is on it’s way!

Recently my new friends over at Bully Bundles sent me a package of their 6″ Bully Sticks to try. Now if you’ve never heard of Bully Sticks, then you are missing out my friend!
Now I admit, when I was a young pup I used to snack on rawhides (before my mom knew any better), but Bully Sticks are a type of chew that are MUCH better than rawhides. Not only are they safer because they are 100% digestible (much lower risk of choking compared rawhides), but they are also healthier because they are made of 100% beef. Rawhides typically contain harmful chemicals and are treated with a long list of ingredients.
So I can attest, when you’re looking for a chew for your dog, Bully Sticks are definitely the way to go. Not only will your dog love them, but your humans will feel good knowing they are safe and healthy.
Now the cool thing about Bully Bundles is that you can sign up to have your dog’s Bully Sticks delivered monthly. When you’re a busy shop dog it’s nice to know there will always be a snack around for your work breaks (even if your mom forgets to pick some up at the store!).
In fact, I have a fun little game I like to play to earn my bully sticks while at work…
I’ve gotten so good at finding those hidden Bully Sticks that mom has had to get pretty creative in hiding them now!
The Bully Bundles come in 6″ or 12″ sticks that are between 5/8″ – 7/8″ thick (which are thicker than most I’ve seen on the market).
They’re also made with no preservatives or chemicals and are produced in a USDA approved facility. Hailing from free-range, grass-fed Brazilian cattle, and No growth hormones or antibiotics are used on the cattle.
So if you’re ready to set your dog up with a monthly subscription of bully sticks from Bully Bundles, you can choose between 6, 10, 15, 30, or 60 6″ sticks a month or 5, 10, 15, or 30 12″ sticks a month.
And don’t worry, you can even skip a month or cancel at anytime! The best part is you can save 10% OFF your Bully Bundles order with code AMMO.
As a bonus…

Some dogs are born with it, some dogs aren’t. And I can’t help that I was cursed blessed with this amazing nose that can lead me to a groundhog hole deep in the woods, through thickets and brush, where no one else knows it exists.
My poor pal Trooper doesn’t have this gift, sometimes I’m surprised he even knows which way is up. (love ya Troop!)

It’s that time of year when one of my favorite pet companies, Ruffwear, comes out with their new Spring gear!
I was super excited this time around to be able to test out their new Slackline Leash.
At first glance it may look just like an ordinary dog leash, but I can tell you it is not.
The Ruffwear Slackline Leash is an adjustable-length leash from 6 feet to 3.5 feet. Its adjustable length can be fully extended for relaxed walks, or shortened for more control as needed.
Essentially this leash replaces those highly dangerous retractable leashes – which I don’t really recommend.
Mom and Dad love the padded handle which also includes a convenient accessory loop for pick up bags or small clip-on items.
The Slackline leash can also be handheld or waist-worn with the handy buckle, which also makes it easy if you ever need to tie your dog while out on a walk.
It’s also got reflective trim for safety, and comes in 4 fun colors: Twilight Grey (pictured), Meadow Green, Purple Dusk and Kokanee Red.
And incase you are wondering, there is still plenty of length to this leash when extended to allow me to explore all the fascinating places I find on my walks! And can still quickly shorten when I need to stay closer to mom and dad.
The Slackline Leash has been great for my walks to work in the morning, where sometimes I need to stay closer to mom incase of oncoming traffic. But don’t worry, I also always practice looking both ways before I cross the street (as seen in the video above).
You can fetch the new Ruffwear Slackline Leash for your dog for $39.95 (with FREE SHIPPING for orders over $75)!
And now for the best part….

Some people out there might think I’m a spoiled dog. While I’m not sure I totally agree, I can admit that I do enjoy some luxuries (which I knowingly imply sad puppy dog eyes to get mom and dad to oblige to)….
Spoiled or not, I’m never going to stop asking for back rubs from mom and dad! 😉
When Easter rolled around I could hardly wait to see what was in my basket this year.
My best pal Trooper came over to help me open it (and the Easter bunny had brought him a few treats too).
But, Trooper still doesn’t quite get the concept of opening presents, so he let me do all the work.
After all the unwrapping was done Trooper and I picked out our favorite toys from the bunch.
My favorite is this Thinker Maze* from the the Barkshop (that bunny certainly knows the best places to shop!).

Before long it was time for all my family to arrive at my house for Easter dinner, which included my newest little cousin whom I’m absolutely in love with! He’s already loving my wet doggy kisses!
Next up was the easter egg hunt! And while I had fun watching all my older cousins hunt for their eggs, I have to admit I was a little jealous.
They got so many goodies in those eggs too…including monies!
But guess what! My cousins decided to hide some dog friendly easter eggs around the yard specifically for me and Trooper to find!
Although poor Trooper didn’t quite grasp the concept, and the poor guy wandered around with a confused look on his face most of the time.
That’s ok though, because I had no problem collecting Trooper’s share of the eggs too!
After our egg hunt Trooper and I were pretty wiped out.
But don’t worry, there’s always one thing that never fails in perking me right up…..HAM!
Although sadly I didn’t actually get any holiday ham…despite my best sad face at dinnertime.
All in all I had a fantastic Easter with my family. Too bad we can’t celebrate every day!

When suddenly mom put this pink bunny suit on me I knew something was up (although to be fair, mom does like to dress me up on a regular basis).
But this time, this time was different, because it’s almost EASTER! And since I already had my very own bunny suit from Martha Stewart Pets®, I figured I might as well put it to good use. What better way to use a pink bunny suit than to BE the Easter Bunny…I mean how hard can it really be?
So I hopped on over to Petsmart® and filled a basket full of Easter goodies from the Martha Stewart Pets Spring Line.
Then I did what any other dog dressed as a bunny would do….I scarfed some carrots (you know, for fuel and all)……
….and dove head first into my Easter basket filled of goodies!
Just as I was getting into the swing of things with my new toys, mom reminded me that the real Easter Bunny wouldn’t keep all the toys for himself. Instead he would share them with all the other good little dogs out there.

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!
