This is my very favorite pony, Minnow.

You get the very first horse hair dog collar made just for me by Enter at A!

That’s right, my buddy Minnow graciously offered me up some of his tail hair (after all he did have plenty) to send to Enter at A for my new collar.

And when it arrived a few weeks later Minnow and I both agreed that it looked fabulous on me.

I chose a beautiful brown leather with teal padding to compliment Minnow’s pretty tail.

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

Many many months ago, my mom and dad started building something intriguing.

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

It took quite a while to take shape, and at first I wasn’t quite sure what it was going to be for.

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

But the farther along my mom and dad got on their project, the more I began to worry…because I knew where it was going to end up.

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

Yup, that’s right it ended up right in the window of my shop.

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

Now you may be thinking, what’s the big deal? Well the big deal is that my shop already has something in the window that grabs the attention of potential customers.

Studio 3 Marquee Sign // Ammo the Dachshund

And that something is me! So as nice as the new shop sign is, I just really hope I won’t be out of a job anytime soon! Ammo the Dachshund

Farmhouse Helper

Farmhouse Helper // Ammo the Dachshund

Every day my best friend Trooper is just a wee bit closer to being able to move into his new house on the farm. I know, I know, I’ve been saying that for years…..but this is definitely going to be the year!

Farmhouse Helper // Ammo the Dachshund

Especially since I’ve been around the lend a helping paw! Just check out the video below of me collecting the trash into a nice little pile….

Watch this video on instagram.

Farmhouse Helper // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m a pretty enthusiastic helper, as you can see.

Farmhouse Helper // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper on the other hand never looks thrilled about helping out. But honestly, I don’t blame him….he’s been helping everyday for years!

Farmhouse Helper // Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t worry buddy, the work will be done soon (we hope), and you’ll be able to nap in your new house!

PULLER Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Puller.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Recently I got the chance to test a product for dogs that is designed to promote physical exercise.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Puller is a training device made up of two foam rings that encourages physical exercise, helps dogs to relieve stress, and improves overall physical shape and muscle development.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Now I like to think I keep a pretty sleek figure myself, but there is always ways to improve!

Puller claims that with 3 simple exercises for 20 minutes a day your dog can get the equivalent of a 2 mile intensive run or 2 hours of exhausting exercise (like playing fetch).

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So Trooper and I decided to take Puller out to the farm for a little exercise.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The 3 exercises that Puller promotes is running, jumping, and pulling.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Trooper and I both enjoyed getting in some physical activity with Puller. We also hear the Puller floats (although we haven’t had a chance to test it), and it’s foam material is nice and soft on our teeth.

And it’s because of the foam material that Puller is not designed to be a toy you leave for your dog to play with on their own, but a device to help you keep your pup fit and active with you.

So to get some inspiration for our next workout, Trooper and I checked out this Puller video with TreT….

After watching that Trooper and I figured, hey, we can do that….so we shot our own Puller video…

Yeah, I think we might need a little more practice before we’re as coordinated with Puller as TreT – but at least we got a good workout trying.

Puller Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Well, despite our lack of coordination, Trooper and I agree that Puller is a fun device to get us excited about “working out”. Trooper especially got very excited when he saw Puller come out. I preferred to play with my Puller in my basement at home with mom and dad – it’s always been my “workout” room where I spend a lot of time in the winter burning calories and getting some physical exercise in when it’s too cold outside.

So if you want to get your best friend some exercise too, you can fetch your own Puller in standard or mini size from Collar and also on Amazon.

And now for the best part…..

10 Fall Sweaters that Fit Dachshunds

While I know not everyone who reads my blog owns a dog of the long and short sausage type. But I think it’s safe to say that a lot of you probably do. So in an effort to help out my fellow short legged/long backed friends out there I gathered up a few of my favorite sweaters that work well for dachshunds! Mostly because fall sweaters are just so much fun!

And even if you don’t have a dachshund, many of these would work on lots of other breeds as well!

10 Sweaters that Fit Dachshunds

 

1. Warm Weenies

ammo the dachshund in sweater

Handmade in Missouri, I personally have owned one of these handmade sweaters – and it looks like they now sell patterns so you can make your own too!

2. My Fabulous Puppy

Ammo's 6th Birthday // Ammo the Dachshund

While not specifically designed for dachshunds, the sweaters at My Fabulous Puppy seem to fit quite well – with many of their up-cycled designed geared towards the longer bodied dogs.

3. By Chance Designs

Ammo the Dachshund // Birthday Wrap-Up

With lots of fun, handmade cable knits this sweater remains one of my favorites!

4. What’s Up Dox

Whats Up Dox Dachshund Sweaters

While I haven’t specifically tried these fleece sweaters, it looks like they are the perfect fit for Dachshunds!

5. Noodle and Friends

Noodle and Friends Stroodle // Ammo the Dachshund

These noodle and friends fleece sweaters are the perfect thing to lounge around the house in and are also great for layering under heavier jackets when it gets really cold.

6. My Canine Kids

My Canine Kids Harness & Fleece Jacket Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

This fleece sweater is great because it’s adjustable so it’s perfect for a growing puppy or a dog who’s weight may fluctuate.

7. Houndz in the Hood

Houndz in the Hood // Dachshund sweater

While I’ve never tried any sweaters from this line, it looks like they have the long-backed dogs in mind!

8. Voyagers K9

ammo the dacshund k9 voyagers coat

These custom fleece sweaters can be made to fit any sized dog, and mine has lasted me for many many years!

9. Dachshund Delights

Dachshund Delights Sweaters

I’ve never tried the line of sweaters from Dachshund Delights, but they do look especially cozy!

10. Puppy Love

Dachshund Sweater

Again, not one I’ve personally tested, but these sweaters look oh-so-snuggly and the perfect fit for wiener dogs!

So what do you think, ready to wrap your wiener dog up in something warm? Any sweaters to add to my list?
