I’m Digging: Vol 1

Sadly this post is not about “digging”….although I totally wouldn’t complain if it was! No it’s about what I’m currently digging, as in what I think’s cool and what I’m secretly hoping finds its way to my mailbox.

So just for fun (and because who doesn’t love online shopping) I rounded up a few of my favorite things this week:

Dachshund Tea Towel

This Dachshund Tea Towel, because there can NEVER be enough Dachshund paraphernalia in your house. You don’t even want to know how many wiener dog things are in my own home (myself included), and you know what, I’ll never get tired of it!

Chunky Pet Bed

This Chunky Knitted Pet Bed might be designed for a cat, but you know what, I can totally curl my long bodied self into a tiny little donut to fit into this adorable bed!

Dog Art

Totally loving the simplistic photographs from this online shop, and the really awesome part is that they are only $6.95 for a digital download. Which means you can print them at any size you want yourself and start a collection of framed art at a great cost! You know how I love some good framed art!

Bear Blanket

Ok seriously, how adorable would Baby P and I looked snuggled up in this blanket? Need I say more?

What sort of things are you digging this week? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

The Big Secret I’ve Been Hiding

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

It’s true. I’ve been hiding something from you.

This blog has always been a way for me to share my daily adventures with the world, and I love that all of you continue to check in to see what I’m up to in my life.

Winter on the Farm // Ammo the Dachshund

From snow days on the farm…

A Day at the Beach // Ammo the Dachshund

…beach days in the summer…

Shop Dog // Work // Ammo the Dachshund

…and my hard working days at the shop, I’ve shared just about everything on this blog.

Except there is one thing that I’ve kept a secret. Until now…

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

This summer I’m going to be starting my biggest adventure yet, as a BIG BROTHER! That’s right, after 7 years of being an “only child” my family is going to be gaining a new member.

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

My new 2-legged little sister will be here before I know it, and I’ve still got a lot to do to prepare!

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

I’ve already been practicing my dress-up skills, and I don’t even mind having to wear pink shades with my fashionable bunny slippers….

Ammo the Dachshund Super Hero and his Super Hero Pony

…just so long as Minnow and I can still play Super Heroes with her too!

The Big Secret Ammo the Dachshund's Been Hiding

While I know things around here will change, I’m more than ready for my next big adventure!

Thanks to all of you for supporting me along the way, and being there to cheer me on no matter where life takes me. Adventure Awaits!

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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!

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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).

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

My new Pepper Petwear coat held up for (repeated) trips under the farm fencing.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

It survived excursions in the manure pile (and didn’t stink too terribly bad afterwards).

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

It didn’t rip when I climbed through brush and sticks.

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

It still gave me plenty of freedom to dig (and didn’t hold onto the dirt).

Custom Fit Dog Clothing from Pepper Petwear + A Giveaway

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!

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

So when my mom and dad upgraded my kitchen this summer, they also upgraded the dining room table too.

(and yes, I know I STILL haven’t shared the “after” images of my DIY Kitchen remodel, but my dad still has some things he’s finishing up. And being a perfectionist, he wants me to share my beautiful kitchen when it’s COMPLETELY done!)

Being that it’s the month of family gatherings and holiday dinners, I thought my table could use a little something to festive it up.

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

So when I received a package from my friends over at Lupo & Olimp, I was thrilled to find something to not only dress up me….but my table too!

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

This beautiful handmade linen tablecloth features some very talented dachshunds baking apple strudel. Yum!

The really fun part is that it even comes with a tasty Apple Strudel recipe so you can make some at home too.

Each dachshund in the design is modeled after a real life dachshund! See anyone you know?

So I decided there was only one thing to do with my new linen table cloth….I threw on my adorable new Lupo & Olimp fleece and invited some of my friends to a dinner party!

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

Only Mr. Reindeer and Toy Minnow could show up (and mom wouldn’t let me bring the real Minnow the pony in the house….boo!), but that’s ok, because that means more food for me!

I wonder if Apple Strudel is made with bacon?

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

All my dinner guests were admiring my beautiful handmade fleece from Lupo & Olimp. And I have to say, it’s one of the thickest, warmest coats I’ve ever worn.

Lupo and Olimp Fleece Dog Coats & Home Accessories + A Giveaway

These awesome coats come in lots of other fun designs too, and the best part is they can be custom made to fit your own dachshund’s unique shape.

Friday Fetch: Dog Bowties & Purses

I’ve been a big fan of Silly Buddy Bowties for a long time now. In fact the first bowtie I ever owned came from Silly Buddy. So when I recently saw that they partnered with Jenny N. Design to make a line of matching purses I knew my mom would be lusting after one for Dog Mom’s Day.
