Thanksgiving Roadtrip: Folly Beach Dogs

Posted on December 22, 2015 by Ammo

I’m a little late with giving everyone a recap of my Thanksgiving vacation, but with the busy holiday season at my mom’s shop I had a hard time getting my “tech team” to edit all the photos! But have no fear! I’m ready to share all the details of my week long trip down south to Folly Beach, South Carolina.

Before I dive in to all the fun I had visiting with my family, I have to introduce you to my new friends! The cute little Jack Russell puppy is Artemis and the fluffy white fellow, Sharkie (or Mark Sharkman for those that know him a little better). Artemis and Sharkie are Folly Beach residents and they had a blast showing Trooper and I how to be real beach dogs.

Artemis has just started his Beach Dog training (after all he is pretty young still), but not to worry, I took him under my wing and shared all the important things about the world with him. Like how to hunt rabbits, dig holes, and bark at strangers.

Sharkie on the other hand is a beach dog pro!

Sharkie’s ball chasing skills made Trooper and I look like a couple of idiots.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure we should be embarrassed to be seen in public after watching Sharkie chase after his ball. We didn’t come off anywhere near as elegant as he does in photos.

Gotta love a dog that knows what he wants!

Sharkie and I had a blast on the beach though and it was fun having another small dog sidekick to run around with. I’m pretty sure Trooper felt very out numbered with all us shorties.

I already miss being able to run like the wind on the wide open beach. It’s something I’ll never get tired of.

And since you all couldn’t be there with me to enjoy the glorious beach, I made this fun video so you could pretend like you were there with me!

So what do you think? Aren’t you impressed with Sharkie’s ball skills? (Don’t tell him, but I’ve been practicing at home so that next time we get together I’ll look a little cooler!)

Thanks to one of my readers I was introduced to the Purple Bone. They carry lots of fun and modern products for dogs, but I was particularly drawn to their fun mix of toys. And don’t worry, even though they are based in the UK, they do ship worldwide.

Planet Dog has long been one of my go-to toy manufacturers because not only are they “Ammo proof” (I’m the toughest chewer….trust me!) but most of them contain “treat spots” so you can convince your mom and dad to “fill-er-up” with you favorite yummies.

Friday Fetch: Orbee Snoop – A New Interactive Toy

Posted on October 25, 2013 by Ammo

Mom is always on the lookout for interactive treat dispensing toys for me. She “claims” that I sometimes get the crazies at work and likes to give me something to keep me occupied while she’s busy helping customers. Don’t tell her, but I totally get the crazies just so I can get said treat dispensing toys. I train my humans really well (I should write a book)!

So when I came across Orbee’s new toy, Snoop, I was immediately intrigued. Snoop is a translucent and squishy toy with a deep crevice that conceals treats. For an even tougher challenge you can even insert one of the Orbee-Tuff balls (also stuffed with treats) into the center.

Now while I haven’t actually tried this toy myself, the design looks promising, and if they are as hardy as the Orbee toys I already own, then I’m sure they’ll last a lifetime! You can fetch your own Orbee-Tuff Snoop for $15.95.

The World of Dog Agility Toys

Posted on October 17, 2013 by Ammo

Unknown to me until recently there is this whole world out there of secret dog agility toys. Toys designed to encourage dogs to jump, run, and soar over the agility equipment. Toys that any dog would love – regardless of whether or not they love dog agility too.

Clean Run Toys // Ammo the Dachshund

So I convinced my mom that since I’m training so hard in my weekly dog agility classes that I MUST have some of these dog agility training toys. So mom purchased me a few goodies from Clean Run.

This jackpot and tug toy is designed to win over even the toughest of critics. I only use this one when I’m training, but it’s mighty mighty fun to “kill”.

These handy toys are called food tubes. Stuff them with a yummy treats (dried hotdogs were my choice) and then you can shake them to get your dogs attention and even toss them. The handy top makes dispensing them super easy (which is totally my kind of toy).

My favorite of the toys is the rip n tug treat dispensing ball. You put your dog’s favorite treats in the center, then velco it closed.

I’ve been having a blast playing fetch with this ball, then ripping it apart to grab my treats.

Now where exactly has this hidden world of dog agility toys been all my life! It’s a magical magical world, and as I’ve already told mom, I think I need to test them all now!

P.S. if you’re interested in dog agility and want to try the fun activity with your dog too, make sure you check out our sponsor The Dog Agility Shop, for great materials to make inexpensive DIY agility equipment for your own backyard.

Disclosure: I was not paid or perked to write about these toys or this company. I purchased these toys with my own monies, and simply wanted to share the goodness with all of you!

Playing Golf with Dad // Ammo the Dachshund

My Dad loves to go golfing, he says it’s one of his most favorite things to do. So you can imagine my disappointment that dad hasn’t invited me along on any of his golf outings yet. But all that is about to change, because I’ve been practicing….

See, I’m off to find the holes!

It’s these simple pleasures of summer that I enjoy oh so much. I hope you get to play fetch today too.

Fashion Show! compliments of Bullseye

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Ammo

So today when I got to work there was a surprise package for me waiting at the shop. I’m no stranger to getting mail at the shop, but this was an unexpected package.

When I opened it up it was filled with goodies from the Polka Dog Bakery at Target! And there was a letter from Bullseye the Target Dog saying he noticed my post online and wanted to send me a couple of his favorite Polka Dog Products.

I was totally blushing that Bullseye even knew my name!! And then I realized there was really only one thing to do when a package of goodies arrives at the shop……FASHION SHOW!
