Now Available! Adventure Awaits T-Shirt for Charity

Posted on November 25, 2014 by Ammo

As an avid adventure dog I love anything that has to do with adventures! And seeing as how my previous Adventure Awaits t-shirt created numerous inquiries as to where people could purchase them – I figured my adventurous taste in clothing could help to benefit the dogs in need this holiday season!

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

As you know on Sunday I celebrated my 6th Birthday by attending the Yuengling Oktoberfest Dachshund Races. Well when I go home later that day I got to do my very favorite part of Birthdays…..opening my presents!

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m such a lucky dog to have so many presents to open, some from my mom and dad and some from some very sweet businesses!

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m pretty much an expert at unwrapping gifts……my skills even landed me in a google commercial a few christmases ago! Check out how fast I am at unwrapping my gifts in the video below.

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

So just what did I score? Well mom and dad got me this handy Love Thy Beast Tote (that is plenty big enough for a 20lb dachshund like me), an Emergency First Aid Kit for the car, and this Indestructible Dog Toy (we’ll see how long it lasts with my choppers).

My friends at Mattie & Margot also sent me some spiffy new collars that are perfect for fall and my pals over at Chewy.com sent me a package of Grandma Lucy’s Organic Blueberry Treats.

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

Grandma Lucy’s Treats smelled delicious and even looked like cute little teddy grahams. Full disclosure here, my dad thought they smelled so good that he tried them himself – and considering the ingredients are human grade, and made with no By-Products, no artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors, I’m not surprised that he found them very tasty.

But sorry dad, I don’t plan on sharing – you’ll just have to snag your own from Chewy.com.

My new friends over at My Fabulous Puppy also sent me one of their handmade sweaters. It’s cute and snuggly and perfect for fall!

So thanks to everyone who made my Birthday extra special – I can’t believe I have to wait another whole YEAR before I can celebrate again!

Disclosure: I received a product from Chewy.com in exchange for a review, but all opinions are entirely my own.

Tag Me Pet Tag Review & Giveaway

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This product review and giveaway is brought to you by Tag Me Pet Tags.

My mom and dad take lots of steps to insure that I’m safe, one of which includes making sure that I always have on proper identification – especially when I’m on the farm.

So when Tag Me Pet Tags sent me over one of their custom etched tags I was thrilled to have a stylish and fun way to wear my id.

As you can see the front was custom etched to include my name and logo (me in my super hero cape), how fun is that!

The back of my tag was etched with two phone numbers (but it can also include an address if you choose). I don’t know about you, but I think this is such a fun and awesome way to ID your pet!

Tag Me Pet Tags has a whole line of pre-designed and etched tags for your pets, and they are also able to make custom designs (like mine) as well. Here’s a few fun ones:

They also make stamped tags as well like these:

Personally I love the etched look!

You can pick up your own fun pet tag design from Tag Me Pet Tags, and be sure to use the coupon code AMMO10 for 10% off your order!

Over the past several months I’ve been helping my mom design our very own set of adorable dachshund prints for my shop. With yours truly as the muse we are finally able to introduce 6 sweet prints that are now available for purchase!

Each one was completely hand-drawn by my mom on her tablet and has been professionally printed on a petite 4″x4″ size – most appropriate considering us dachshunds are short and sweet.
