What it Looks like to be a Spoiled Dog

Spoiled Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

Some people out there might think I’m a spoiled dog. While I’m not sure I totally agree, I can admit that I do enjoy some luxuries (which I knowingly imply sad puppy dog eyes to get mom and dad to oblige to)….

Spoiled or not, I’m never going to stop asking for back rubs from mom and dad! 😉

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

When suddenly mom put this pink bunny suit on me I knew something was up (although to be fair, mom does like to dress me up on a regular basis).

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

But this time, this time was different, because it’s almost EASTER! And since I already had my very own bunny suit from Martha Stewart Pets®, I figured I might as well put it to good use. What better way to use a pink bunny suit than to BE the Easter Bunny…I mean how hard can it really be?

Easter Treats + A Giveaway with Martha Stewart Pets

So I hopped on over to Petsmart® and filled a basket full of Easter goodies from the Martha Stewart Pets Spring Line.

Then I did what any other dog dressed as a bunny would do….I scarfed some carrots (you know, for fuel and all)……

….and dove head first into my Easter basket filled of goodies!

Just as I was getting into the swing of things with my new toys, mom reminded me that the real Easter Bunny wouldn’t keep all the toys for himself. Instead he would share them with all the other good little dogs out there.

Gulp. She was right. What had I become?

A GPS Pet Tracker with no Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: This post and giveaway is brought to you by Iota GPS Tracker. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your pets might love.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

Way back when my mom decided to help fund a little kickstarter campaign for the Iota GPS Pet Tracker. Fast forward to about a month ago, and suddenly this little white box was strapped to my neck!

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

See what makes the Iota a little different than most GPS Trackers for pets is this little contraption sitting next to me (the Home Base), it’s because of this that there are no monthly fees, unlike most Trackers you might see on the market that require a monthly or yearly fee for their tracking services. And when you can save those extra pennies for more important things (like dog toys), that’s always a good thing!

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

You simply set up the home base inside your home near a window, and it connects up with your own Wifi network. Each home base can then track your tracker up to 1 – 4 miles away. And the cool part is Iota Trackers can connect to any home base in your area, meaning if your neighbor has one your reach is already extended even further.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

The Iota is also the smallest pet GPS I’ve ever tried, which can make a big difference when you’re a small dog. I certainly can’t have some hunky thing on my collar weighing me down!

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

The free Iota App allows you set up geo-fences for your dog. Which is essentially a “safe area” that you would like your dog to stay in, when they enter or exit the area you can receive an alert on your smart phone.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

You can then set up as many Iota trackers as you like within the app to monitor all of your pets. It even has a handy feature to notify you when the battery level is running low. The iota’s battery can to last up to approximately one month and is rechargeable for 200+ cycles. That’s a pretty long time.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

When it does need charging there is a handy charger that plugs into any USB port.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

I’ve been wearing my Iota around home, and when mom and dad leave me home alone. Even though its very rare that I ever “escape” my fenced yard, my parents feel safer knowing they would be alerted if I ever left the area.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

For testing purposes though we drove my Iota to the farm one day to see if it would alert my mom to the fact that it left the geo fence, and not long after exiting the designated area mom got a notification on her phone.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

And the alert also showed up on the app’s notifications too.

Iota GPS Pet Tracker with No Monthly Fees + A Giveaway

Eventually the Iota will be adding more features like temperature sensors (to alert you if the Iota is above or below a certain temperature). Each iota is also weatherproof and submersible up to 3 feet.

The Iota also has a cool little ring feature, so if you’re trying to find your dog (who’s maybe really good at playing hide-n-seek like me), you can just turn on the sound to find them quicker.

If you’d like to find out more about Iota you can check them out here, and you can even use code ammo4iota to save $15 off your order with them!

Working Smarter

As you may know, I’ve got a 9-5 job working at my mom’s custom frame shop. While I’d totally love to not have to work at all….we all know the business would totally fall apart without me.

Working Smarter // Smart Dachshund helps out at work

My mom always says we need to work smarter not harder, so that we have more time for the adventures that we love. (and well, so I have more time to play fetch and practice my dog agility at work).

So I picked up a little trick on my own to help us get done our work faster…

Working Smarter // Smart Dachshund helps out at work

I’ve started grabbing the printouts when they come out of the printer and bringing them to mom. And if you visit my shop and you’re lucky, maybe I’ll even bring you your receipt (mom says I still need to practice not drooling on the paper first before I master that one).

Yea, it’s nice to know my hardworking efforts are finally being appreciated around here! Now can we quit working and have a little fun?

The Joy of Barking + A Giveaway

Disclaimer: this post and giveaway are brought to you by Bark Solution. All opinions are my own, and I only share products I think you and your dog will love.

Halloween Party // Ammo the Dachshund

As a dog, the only real way I have to express myself is by barking. Sometimes I bark because I want something, sometimes I bark to protect my friends and family, and sometimes I bark just because I feel like it. (This is my barking face BTW, incase you were wondering).

So I thought it would be fun to share with you a compilation video my mom made over the past few months of me barking at things. Mom says sometimes my barking is cute, and sometimes she wishes I’d put a cork in it, but I’ll let you be the judge if it’s really that obnoxious…

So for those times that my barking gets a bit out of hand, mom has been using the humane anti-barking solution, Bark Solution (it’s that noisy little can you hear my mom shaking near the end of the video).

A Humane Bark Solution for Dogs + A Giveaway

You might remember I shared a bit more about them last month, and those of you that have tested it on your dogs thus far have given it rave reviews!

So if you’re looking for a way to humanely cut down on the amount of barking your dog does (without having to use harsh products or spending your day yelling at your dog), then you might want to check out Bark Solution. You can also purchase this product on Amazon.

Now for the best part….

Growing Old Together

While I wouldn’t necessarily say that Trooper and I are old just yet, we have grown up together over the past 7 years. One of my fondest memories is spending my working days at the shop with my best buddy and wrestling on the shop floor..

Fast forward about 6 years and I’m happy to report that not much has changed….

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

So I hear that this weekend is Valentine’s Day. A day to spend time with those that you love, and show them that you care.

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

So when I got wind that my old fling, Amira, was back in town I knew I was going to have to do something special on February 14th.

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

So I popped over to Petsmart to snag Amira a gift from the Martha Stewart Pets line and set out to profess my love for her.

Valentines Day Greeting from the cutest Dachshund

Only Amira is a bit high maintenance…..

Sorry Amira, no girlfriend is worth sharing all my Martha Stewart Pets toys…. you’ll just have to get your own!
