What if I told you that this stylish canvas portrait next to me was a me! I bet you never imagined I could be so cool. But I knew, I always knew I had this epic greatness in me, so great that when your new friends at Pop Your Pup offer to turn a photo of you into pop art you don’t hesitate because you know it will be grand.

The cool folks over at Pop Your Pup can create lots of fun items from any photo of your pet. And don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be a professional photo with great lighting, they can make most any image work and turn it into a masterpiece.

Mom helped me pick out some of my favorite photos to send in, and they turned out so fabulous that I couldn’t wait to share them with all of you!

They even have kids sizes in t-shirts too, because you know I couldn’t let Baby P be left out of all the fun!

Not only am I Baby P’s Big Brother, but I’m also her very very favorite thing in the whole wide world.

I mean who can blame her when you look this stylish?

So when I gifted Baby P this pop art t-shirt from Pop Your Pup I was thrilled when she got so excited she started yelling “woof” “woof” (because she can’t say Dog yet).

Now everywhere she goes her big brother can be right by her side!

Mom loved her shirt just as much, although I didn’t quite get the same “woof” “woof” reaction out of her – I’m pretty sure she enjoyed it just the same.

Pop Your Pup made it simple and easy for me to put these smiles on my family’s faces (and don’t worry, Dad was smiling too behind the camera). Simply upload your pet’s photo to their website, choose your products (you can even choose fun background colors and patterns), and in one business day you’ll get a proof to approve. And with unlimited edits to your design, there is no reason you wouldn’t love it!

Pop Art of Your Pup + A Giveaway

While I enjoyed all of the products from Pop Your Pup, I think my favorite had to be the 16″x20″ canvas. Immediately it found a home on the wall with some of my other dog art.

….in the playroom of course! Because I love hearing my little sister bark like a dog when she sees it!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol. 5

Time seems to be moving much too quickly, because Baby P is now 5 months old! Can you believe it?

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 5

So much has changed since Little P first arrived home, and now she’s drooling and attempting to eat pretty much anything she can get her hands on. I’m so proud, I taught her well.

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 5

She’s really taken a liking to me (what’s not to like, I’m the coolest dog ever), and I’m really starting to enjoy her giggly happy squeals when she sees me. In fact, I even get to claim credit for Baby P’s first TRUE belly laugh!

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 5

Don’t grow up too fast Baby P, I still have lots of things about the World to teach you!

All Up In It

All Up In It

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….

All Up In It

….a GIANT, fantastic, amazing pile of screenings!

All Up In It

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….

All Up In It

…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? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

A Holiday Weekend

Over the 4th of July Weekend mom and I took a little extra time off from working at the shop. I work pretty hard, and it’s nice to take a break sometimes to unwind and have some fun. Of course my family’s idea of fun is squeezing in as many adventures as possible – so I made sure to do a little bit of everything over the weekend!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

I kicked things off with a campfire in the backyard. Because it wouldn’t be the 4th without a good old fashioned weenie roast. (don’t worry….actual dachshund wasn’t on the menu)

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Then it was time for a Saturday morning breakfast out in town, followed by catching a game of little league baseball. After all I gotta get practicing my team coaching skills for when my little sister gets here and is ready to join a sports team!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Then it was time to celebrate a very special ladies’ 92 Birthday! I loved getting to celebrate my Super MomMom’s B-day with the family.

Family makes everything more fun!

Of course it wouldn’t be a “vacation” if I didn’t do some laps around the farm.

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Just enough to warrant a 3 hour nap of course!

I even got to check out a hot air balloon launch. It was pretty cool, but I’m pretty happy just watching from the ground….that fire looked terrifying!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

While I’m not a huge fan of fireworks (I alternate between hiding in the basement, and barking my head off at them in anger….can’t make up my mind if I’m scared or just pissed really), I did track down some of “nature’s fireworks” with a sunset trip to the lake. Nothing better.

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

4th of July was finally here and I couldn’t miss the celebration in town. Good food and family fun, a perfect way to celebrate America!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Then it’s off to the farm again to track down some groundhogs.

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

Well, and maybe do a farm chore or two too!

Holiday Weekend with Ammo the Dachshund

And to end the perfect holiday weekend, a cookout of epic proportions….where corn on the cob is necessary for a small dachshund’s survival. (well at least thats what I would have my family think…..and you better not tell them otherwise!)

I’m pretty sure after this weekend I’m going to need to sleep for an entire week. What sort of fun did your pups get into? Any other dogs out there can’t make up their mind about how they feel about fireworks? Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Taste of Adventure

Taste of Adventure

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!

A Safe Adjustable Leash Option for Dogs + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway is brought to you by Ruffwear and does contain affiliate links. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love!

A Safe Adjustable Length Dog Leash from Ruffwear + A Giveaway

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.

A Safe Adjustable Length Dog Leash from Ruffwear + A Giveaway

At first glance it may look just like an ordinary dog leash, but I can tell you it is not.

A Safe Adjustable Length Dog Leash from Ruffwear + A Giveaway

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….

First Spring Adventures

First Spring Adventures with Ammo the Dachshund

Over the weekend Spring arrived. Although it didn’t really feel like it (hence my bundled up self on the farm in the picture above). While my first Spring adventures didn’t involve weekend hiking trips, camping, or travels, I still got to spend time with my family – which is really all the adventure I need!

From good morning kisses with my best friend Trooper on the farm…

Working Smarter

As you may know, I’ve got a 9-5 job working at my mom’s custom frame shop. While I’d totally love to not have to work at all….we all know the business would totally fall apart without me.

Working Smarter // Smart Dachshund helps out at work

My mom always says we need to work smarter not harder, so that we have more time for the adventures that we love. (and well, so I have more time to play fetch and practice my dog agility at work).

So I picked up a little trick on my own to help us get done our work faster…

Working Smarter // Smart Dachshund helps out at work

I’ve started grabbing the printouts when they come out of the printer and bringing them to mom. And if you visit my shop and you’re lucky, maybe I’ll even bring you your receipt (mom says I still need to practice not drooling on the paper first before I master that one).

Yea, it’s nice to know my hardworking efforts are finally being appreciated around here! Now can we quit working and have a little fun?

Meeting Mr. Bones

So you might have already caught a sneak peek at my new pal, Mr. Bones, a few weeks ago when he helped out with my Martha Stewart Pets photoshoot.

Martha Stewart Pets Halloween Toys + A Giveaway

Well, he actually came home to live with me in the very beginning of October. Mom says he’s from an “adoption place” called Target.

Skeleton Dachshund

While I’m not quite sure how I feel about sharing my home and toys with another dog, the good news is he doesn’t eat very much!

And just for kicks, here’s what happened when I first met Mr. Bones….

Did you catch that little “jab” I gave him. I had to give him a big ole’ bite in the spine…you know, just so he remembers who’s in charge.

Want to see more Mr. Bones fun? You can follow the #skeletondachshund hashtag on Instagram to see all the fun the other Dachshunds out there are having with their Mr. Bones clones. Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity
