Outfitting a Super Hero with CafePress

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Ammo

You might remember a few weeks ago when the fine folks over at CafePress offered up a giveaway to one of my lucky readers. Well they also offered me a chance to take some of their custom products for a spin too – so I’m back to share with you just what I ordered.

So I browsed through their custom items and decided to try out their small round pet id tag and some 2.25″ buttons.

With the help of my personal designers (mom and dad) I used the Cafepress design tool and uploaded my logo for the pet tag and buttons. You can opt to upload an image or enter you own text and shapes with their design tools. I decided not to make my tag an “identification tag”, but instead just a little something something to add bling to my super hero outfit when I perform.

After uploading my designs for each item I checked them to make sure they would look right and not be cut off at all on the products.

Then a few short days later my custom items arrived in the mail! Yippee!

The pet tag came with a tiny clasp on it, but my hefty collar from Mattie & Margot was a bit too large for it to fit on. This was easily remedied with a Rubit clip (which I use on all my id tags anyway) that I had laying around the house.

So I pinned on my new button (which probably mom and dad will end up wearing most of the time – but I wanted to be the first to try it)….

….and snapped on my new tag to add that special bling bling to my Super Hero outfit.

You also may notice that I am wearing my gold letter A, which was the clear winner when I asked all of you which embroidered patch I should add to my costume! I agree, the gold is just the right color – thanks to everyone who weighed in with their vote.

I’m now ready for my big performance this month at the Spring Doxie Fest! I hope you’ll come meet me and see how stellar I look with all my new custom designed CafePress items!

You can get your own customized products at Cafepress, and you’ll find millions of one-of-a-kind designs on every topic you can imagine like dachshund jewelry, pet bowls, and gifts for dog lovers.

I received some cafepress products to review on my blog, but all opinions are entirely my own.

Sponsor Welcome: K9 CarFence

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Ammo

I’m very excited to welcome my new blog sponsor, K9 CarFence!

Sponsor Welcome // K9 Carfence // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember a couple of months ago I got to test out their K9 CarFence in my own car (you can read my review here).

I’m a huge advocate of keeping pets safe in the car (we’re all precious cargo now aren’t we?), and the K9 Carfence is one of those products that does just that! We should all be able to agree that allowing your dog to roam freely in the car while you are driving is not very safe, for you or your pet. With the K9Carfence you can still allow your dog that freedom in the car, while keeping them safe at the same time.

Some key features of the K9Carfence include:

Catches and cradles dogs in a soft strong net in case of sudden stops
Fast, easy, no-tools set up
Keeps your pet visible to you at all times with the see-through mesh
Keeps pets in a safe confined area and out from under car pedals or laps which can easily distract a driver
Can accommodate multiple dogs within one K9Carfence
Easy to fold up and move to another vehicle

Dog Agility – Practicing the Chute

Posted on January 15, 2013 by Ammo

Every week I attend a dog agility class with mom at the Dog Training Center of Chester County. After several months of classes now I’m really starting to get the hang of things.

Dog Agility - Practicing the Chute // Ammo the Dachshund

Waiting for my turn on the course is one of the hardest things about going to class, it’s just too much fun!

Dog Agility - Practicing the Chute // Ammo the Dachshund

I’m currently working really hard on learning the weave poles, it’s like this crazy mind puzzle that I’m trying to figure out. Any day now I’ll crack it!

Recently I logged some time practicing the chute. I’m a big fan of the chute as you can see….it’s almost like I’m underground burrowing for groundhogs. Total agility heaven for us doxies.

So any of my fans also dog agility stars? Any favorite obstacles?

Wilderness Trail Treats Review

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Ammo

Last week my friends over at Mr. Chewy were kind enough to send me over a package of Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats in Chicken Jerky to try. Now honestly, who would pass up the opportunity to eat treats….no one I tell you, no one.
