A few weeks ago mom picked me out a new toy basket*.

Dog Toy Troubles

Once I got over the initial confusion on it’s intended use (I mean it “could” double as a dog bed don’t you think)….it was time to test out it’s real function in holding my toys.

This is going to be a much bigger adjustment than I thought. Perhaps some new toys for my basket with help me with this big change… *wink*

Have you ever caught your dog on camera doing something goofy like me?

Birthday Week: Wish List

Posted on October 3, 2011 by Ammo

What’s a Birthday week without a wish list? Here’s a few things I’ve been swooning over lately!

ammo the dachshund's birthday wishlist

1. Bowtie from Silly Buddy. I’ve had my eye on one of these for a long time now. But they’re all so dashing I can’t decide which one I LOVE best!

2. Sky Blue Raincoat from Noodle and Friends. You can never have too many raincoats!

3. Travel Bowl from Dudley & Bea. My current travel bowl has seen better days, too many adventures I guess! I think I deserve something spiffy and new.

4. Toy Basket from Anthropologie. This isn’t really a toy basket per say, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t stuff the thing to the brim with my favorite go-to toys. [via]

5. Dog Duvet Cover from MollyMutt. Admittedly my current MollyMutt dog bed at the shop has seen better days – I blame the stresses of a 9 – 5. I’m also loving this duvet.

Toy Box

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Ammo

This is what my sad, sad toy box has been looking like lately…

ammo's toy box

See that one lonely toy? Yeah, I’ve had that toy since I was a puppy – it’s in there for a reason – it tastes like plastic, and I don’t like it! And sadly, that was the ONLY toy I had left, well, until mom took me to the toy shop (aka Petsmart) on Saturday!

ammo at petsmart

I picked out 3 toys, well I picked out way more than that, but mom only let me bring home the ones she thought I MIGHT not be able to destroy.

1. Owsley the Owl by Martha Stewart Pets from Petsmart 2. Rope Bone by Martha Stewart Pets from Pestmart 3. JW Pet Company Hol-ee Cuz toy from Petsmart

Of course I went straight to work trying to destroy my new toys.

My “cuz” toy lost his little legs about an hour later. It had to be done. After all, I didn’t want him walking off in the night now did I?

Owsley the Owl safely made it through the night, but by Monday evening I ate both his ears off. He gave me the “dirty owl eye” so I let him have it. And my Rope Bone….still in the packaging, because mom won’t let me have him yet! Whats the fun in getting new toys if your mom won’t let you destroy them anyway. jeesh.

So, what about you? Know of any TOTALLY indestructible dog toys? I bet I could still kill it. Anyone bury their toys instead of destroying them? I’ve tried that too, but it’s just not as fun as the kill.
