On my summer playlist….
…as I lounge on the farm enjoying the cool shade.

Holy Cow. You’re never gonna guess what showed up on the farm the other day. My eyes caught sight of it, and I could just hardly contain my excitement. It was….
….a GIANT, fantastic, amazing pile of screenings!
Of course I wasted no time at all getting ALL UP IN IT, because there really is only one thing you can do when a big pile of screenings shows up at your doorstep….
…Conquer that mountain like nobody’s business.
Well and maybe dig a hole or two as well…
What would your dog do with a big pile of screenings?

And now it’s time for my May adventures…
I snacked on some of the brand-new Proper Toppers from my friends at The Honest Kitchen.
I enjoyed some of my favorite simple pleasures around home and on the family farm.
I chewed on an awesome new nylon dog chew called Flavorit that every dog is going to love!
I totally got caught on camera doing some things I shouldn’t have been doing….oops.
I slept, and then I slept some more in another installment of “Oh The Places You Sleep” series.
I found a new game to play when I’m bored at work.
I announced the really big secret that I’ve been keeping from everyone!
I shared how I totally live my life to stink EVERYDAY.
I shared the super cool new dog walking bag that’s going to make sure all my gear comes with me!
I let the taste of adventure get the best of me.
I celebrated the impending arrival of my little sister with friends and family.
I celebrated Memorial Day in style.
And that brings us to June! Oh boy, summer is here and I can hardly wait to find out what it has in store for me.
What May adventure of mine did you love the most?
Sometimes I get a taste of adventure and it’s pretty much all I need to send me into a full blown meltdown when mom won’t let me off the leash to investigate further.
In this case that “taste” consisted of me physically biting a wild animal in the woods. What can I say, I like to live life on the edge! Adventure Awaits my friends!
Does your dog take hunting as seriously as I do?
Sometimes after a successful day of “stink” hunting on the farm I can’t help but feel super proud of myself for the most recent rich potent smell I found. I mean it’s a real art to find the best spot to roll in.
After inevitably tracking me down with my GPS tracker (thanks for ratting me out Trax!*), mom never quite appreciates my most recent stink-capades. It’s only a matter of minutes before she utters those words…..B..A..T..H.

Stink eye commence, why is my fun always ruined?
Sigh, don’t worry, I’ll always live to stink another day!
Is your dog a master of the stinky smells just like me?
April seems like it just flew by! I was excited for the warm spring weather to start hitting my area even more, but with it came some rain too! I can’t wait to share what I’ve been up to this past month.

And now it’s time for my April adventures…
I made Trooper take a bath (because it was a bit too chilly for me!).
I shared what it looks like to be a spoiled dog.
Trooper and I joined the Night’s Watch.
I tested out an adjustable leash from my friends at Ruffwear.
I got my nap on once again in my “Oh the Places you Sleep” Series.
Trooper and I made it known that we wanted to eat!
I practiced my good dog skills at the hardware store.
I played some basketball and ate some snoballs!
My natural instinct led me to a hole.
I ate my fill of Bully Sticks.
I introduced my new Ice Queen friends on the farm.
I got some water for my beach.
And that leads me to May! With the unofficial start of summer (Memorial Day Weekend) almost here, I just know May is going to be the best month yet!
What sort of adventures did you have with your dog this past month?
A few weeks ago this interesting looking pool* showed up in my beach ponies’ arena.
*affiliate link
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!
Are your dogs inquisitive in nature just like me?
Being a farm dog means your guard dog duties never end.
Even as darkness begins to fall Trooper always takes his watch dog post with pride.
Although the job is always a little more bearable with friends, so I’m always ready to join him for the Night’s Watch.
Well, it’s a good thing Trooper and I are already neutered!
P.S. Thanks to our pals at Glowdoggie for keeping us Night Watchdogs safe in the dark. Mention code AMMO at checkout for a $5 refund on your next order (US only)

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!
Now for the best part…

Every now and then a new box of treats shows up at my door, and when it’s from my friends at The Honest Kitchen, you know it’s going to be a good day.
If you weren’t already aware, The Honest Kitchen makes dehydrated pet food and treats for dogs and cats that I myself eat on a regular basis. You may have caught some of my previous product reviews with their foods on the blog.
Well these Wonders treats are no exception to The Honest Kitchen’s great line, and these bits of Pollock skin sourced from the Faroe Islands were just too fishy for me to resist.
Just when I thought I would be snacking on my own…..
….the delicious smell of Pollock started to attract some attention from my friends.
And not just Trooper either….Cricket too! Because Wonders aren’t just for us dogs, but for the cats too!
Sigh, guess I’ll be sharing with everyone now. I might have to get mom to pick me up another box!
You can snag your pets some Wonders Dog & Cat Treats from The Honest Kitchen! And if you haven’t already, make sure you grab one of their FREE SAMPLE PACKS with my special discount (discount applied at checkout when you click on the link above).
Is your pet good at sharing their treats?
