Devon Horse Show

Just as I have for the past 8 years, I took a trip to the Devon Horse Show at the end of May. Only this year I got to bring along my sister too! I guess technically she got to go last year as well (inside mom’s tummy), but I feel like when you can’t actually see the ponies – it doesn’t really count!

Devon Horse Show

While I always love sniffing new smells and seeing all the pretty ponies, sometimes Devon can get a little overwhelming for a small dog such as myself. It can get VERY crowded, especially in the evenings – and even on Grand Prix night (when the horses jump super super big fences for the chance to win big big money). Usually mom would end up carrying me around (all 20lbs of me!) when things got a little crazy, but this year we had a different option!

Devon Horse Show

Rewind to a few weeks before the Devon Horse Show, and mom decided that I needed to learn how to ride in the bottom of my sister’s stroller!

Devon Horse Show

So armed with my current favorite treats, these Vanilla Flavored Bully Slices from Redbarn Products, mom made me a comfy spot in the stroller so I could practice riding in it.

Devon Horse Show

Arguably it’s not my favorite place to be, but since these Bully Slices require some intense chewing effort on my part I was able to relax enough that mom could push me around the driveway.

Made with natural beef these chews are a natural source of protein and antioxidants too. I enjoy snacking on them everywhere, from work to home, and even on my adventures.

Devon Horse Show

So how did I fair at the Devon Horse Show when the crowds got bigger? Well the first struggle was convincing my sister that my training chews were for me and not her!

Devon Horse Show

While I did ride around in the bottom of the stroller for a little bit, I still have some work to do to be extra comfortable in there. But it’s a start!

I much preferred to chew my bully slices under a shady tree at Devon anyway!

Devon Horse Show

You can snag your pup some Bully Slices from Redbarn Products they even come in some really fun flavors like French Toast, Peanut Butter, and Vanilla. And be sure to check out my full review on their products too!

Hopefully by this time next year I’ll be a real pro at riding under that stroller!

Do you think your dog would enjoy a stroller ride?

Adventures of Ammo + Baby P: Vol 10

Posted on June 12, 2017 by Ammo

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

It’s happened again. My little sidekick turned a whole month older! And a whole lot has changed in just one month.

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Baby P suddenly doesn’t seem so “baby” anymore. She now waves hello and goodbye to me, can give me high-fives, and even claps when I do something extra goofy. (which is like all the time apparently).

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

But the biggest change….Baby P is now WALKING! Yes, that’s right. Just a few days shy of turning 10 months she got those first few steps in. And can you guess what she was walking to? That’s right, me! (I’ll have to share the video later….although my camera crew missed the very first ones…shame on them!)

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Baby P’s favorite thing though….if you haven’t already guessed….dogs! She loves to “bark” woof woof excitedly whenever she sees a dog (or me), or even a picture of a dog. We should have expected nothing less, because I’m the coolest dog there is and it’s no wonder she thinks she’s a dog too!

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

Now that she’s getting increasingly mobile I definitely have to watch my back…

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

..because her big bear hugs….

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

….and kisses seem to come out of nowhere!

Not to worry though, mom and dad are always right there yelling “gentle” the entire time. Hopefully soon she will get the hang of “closed mouth kisses” and “pinch-less hugs” so I won’t have to be on guard so much. At least I know she means well!

Adventures of Ammo & Baby P: Vol 10

I have a feeling by next month I’ll have my backyard running playmate that I’ve been waiting for! I can’t wait!

So for everyone that wagered a guess last month as to when Baby P would start walking, it was June 5th!

Natural Pet Treats to Keep the Peace + A Giveaway

Posted on May 31, 2017 by Ammo

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway are brought to you by Peacebone. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets will love!

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

This is my new life. It’s chaotic and messy, sometimes there is crying – sometimes laughter, and there are a whole lot of things I’m not supposed to chew. But, that’s ok, because my new friends at Peacebone have something that I’m most definitely allowed to chew!

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

Peacebone provides healthy pet treats that are made of hand picked, USA farm raised, USDA inspected beef from local farms. All their bones are also antibiotic free, non-GMO and preservative free.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

In other words, mom doesn’t have to think twice about offering me Peacebone products because she knows they are super safe for me to eat. Which is good news, because these days there isn’t a lot of time left to do anything except change stinky diapers. (you get the picture)

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

One of my favorites of the bunch was Peacebone’s Jumbo 6-Inch Bully Sticks. They’re made from 100% natural grass fed buffalo and are low in fat and high in protein. Mom loves that they are much safer than rawhide and are great for helping to clean my teeth.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

But my top pick had to be this beauty, The Pacifier.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

I had heard rave things about “The Pacifier” from my little sister, so I was super excited to try one. It’s a slow roasted and hand-trimmed all beef Kneecap. Sourced in the USA strictly from farms that meet Peacebone’s specific standards.

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

It did not disappoint!

Peacebone Review & Giveaway

When life around me gets extra messy (no toy is safe from my little sister’s wrath), I just grab my Pacifier from Peacebone and find my happy place, and all is right with the world again.

You can snag your pup some of this yummy goodness from my pals at Peacebone, and save 20% OFF your order with code AMMO20

And now for the best part….

Life Lesson Number One

Posted on May 17, 2017 by Ammo

Now that I’m a big brother it’s my duty to teach Baby P all the important stuff. #1 on the life lesson list, how to dig a proper hole.

Rescue on the Farm

As you can see, Baby P was super excited to learn this life lesson. That’s my girl, she totally gets it. You just never know when you’re going to need to dig something, so always come prepared with those two little shovels on the bottom of your arms!

Dirt filled baths, and dirty finger nails are totally in our future.

Rescue on the Farm

Up next, how to navigate to the critters in the woods. We’ve got a whole lot of life lessons to get through this summer, so we better get started!

What other life lessons do you think I should teach Baby P?

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

A few weeks ago a special little package from my friends at RedBarn Pet Products arrived in the mail. My nose led me straight for it!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

And holy moly, if I had know a business built in a little red barn could make all these yummy goodies (and more) I would of had mom pulling over the car at every red barn I saw! While they certainly have outgrown that original red barn since they now make over 200 products including rolled foods, canned foods, bully sticks, filled bones, bones, tendons, hooves, sweet potato treats and many more, they still are made right here in the USA!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

While RedBarn totally had me at first sniff, mom always takes a little convincing before she’ll let me sink my teeth into just any treat or bone.

She needn’t worry though, because RedBarn has strict quality assurance specifications in their factories to ensure the freshest product goes out their doors.

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

Looks like I’ve got the ok to dig right in from mom!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

While I’ve been very busy sampling lots of RedBarn products (it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it), I have found a particular something that is my current favorite.

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

These Bully Nuggets are made from natural beef lung nuggets coated in yummy bully gravy. Sorry, I’m probably making you drool!

That tasty gravy also contains some special ingredients like Salmon Oil and Vitamin E to help support your dog’s joints.

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

All I know is it was enough to make me roll over 10 times in a row just for a taste!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

Totally worth all that rolling over!

Natural Dog Chews Made in the USA + A Giveaway

You can snag your pup some of these tasty products including the Bully Nuggets from RedBarn by visiting their website for a list of stores near you and online retailers, like my pals over at Chewy.com

April Beach Babes

Posted on April 26, 2017 by Ammo

April Beach Babes

A few weeks ago I went on a fun day trip with my family. We packed up Baby P, Mom, Dad, my Nannie & Opa, my ponies and my best pal Trooper for a day at the beach!

April Beach Babes

When we got there the ponies set off on a ride along the beach while I stayed behind to help keep an eye on Baby P.

April Beach Babes

Only little did I know that I would end up tied to a tether in the sand because Dad said “I can’t keep an eye on both roaming munchkins”. (We all know he’s just not as good at multi-tasking as mom) ….Love ya Dad, but it’s true!

April Beach Babes

Baby P came to my rescue though and tried as hard as she could to free me. Alas, it was just not meant to be this time.

April Beach Babes

That’s ok though, a beach day is still a beach day and I used the opportunity to get some sun and some R&R.

April Beach Babes

After my ponies returned from their ride I knew they were ready for something else too…

April Beach Babes

….a nice relaxing nap in the sand!

Boomerang totally knows how to do a Beach Day if you ask me!

What would your dog enjoy most about a Beach Day?
