It’s no secret that I’m pretty much an expert hunter, especially when it comes to groundhogs.
While I now can spend hours on the farm digging down holes after my furry little friends, did you know that I actually started honing my hunting skills as a young pup on something much much smaller….
Those poor stink bugs never stood a chance.
What sort of things does your dog like to hunt? 
Over the weekend I visited my ponies on the farm. It was muddy and wet and oh so much fun!
I even had a little fun digging for critters!
What kind of fun did you have this weekend?
The main reason for my camping excursion to Cape May last weekend was to hit up one of the all year round dog friendly beaches, Higbee Beach. I’ve been to the beach a few times before (this was my first trip to Higbee), but every time I went it was either rainy or cold, and I never got to really have a true beach experience.
Be forewarned, my mom went a little photo crazy and took way too many photos of me at the beach – and I didn’t have the heart to leave any out of this post!
Even though the day started out a bit rainy, by the time my pal Shilah and I were ready to hit the sand the weather had cleared and at 70 degrees and a bit overcast it was the perfect weather for us dogs to be on the sand.
Now as a general rule of thumb I’m usually always kept on my leash when I’m away from home (aside from where I’m let off leash at the family farm). But since mom and dad knew that I wouldn’t get to fully enjoy the beach without being able to run, mom decided that I could be trusted enough to ditch the leash this one time. Now you’re probably thinking by the looks of this photo – that maybe it wasn’t the best idea.
But not to worry, I remembered all of my training and came running as fast as I could as soon as mom or dad called. After all, I didn’t want to loose my off-leash beach privileges!
Running free on the sand was one of the greatest experiences, I highly recommend it to all you dogs out there! But one other thing on my doggie bucket list was to touch the ocean too….
As you can see I was a bit hesitant at first – those waves are quite intimidating!
So instead I decided to build a sandcastle instead!
I even got to meet some new pals, like this short-legged (like me) Jack Russell. He was very fun to play with – until he peed on mom’s beach chair!
Just as I was getting back into my hole digging fun, mom said we need to take some family photos on the beach.
As you can see I was less than thrilled!
Even my pal Shilah got in on the action with some modeling shots!
I’m friends with that beauty right there!
After out mandated photo shoot I decided to coach Shilah on her first dip in the ocean.
Ultimately I had to show her the ropes, being that I’m much older and wiser!
Then as luck would have it I found a horseshoe crab that had washed up on the beach! (Not to worry, no horseshoe crabs were harmed – and this one was not living when I found him)
I found him quite intriguing as he didn’t smell like the groundhogs and bunnies I was used to hunting in my own backyard.
After Shilah and I full inspected and tasted our horseshoe crab friend, I started to get concerned that he might float back out to sea.
And as the waves started to take him back to the ocean I suddenly wasn’t too scared to brave the waves myself.
Ok well I was about as brave as you can be without your life vest on!
My trip to Higbee Beach was one of my favorite adventures of all time, and you can bet it won’t be my last!
Shilah and I were dog tired after our day in the sand, but we wouldn’t have it any other way!

I was born to dig. It’s in my blood and it’s why I was given these wonderful shovels for paws!
You can also watch this video on youtube HERE.
You’re sooo jelly aren’t you?
Sometimes when we are out on the farm my buddy Trooper tends to be a little bit of a lost soul. He mopes around with that towel in his mouth, unsure about what to do next.
But Trooper is a herding dog, so I know when he has his towel he just really needs to be put to work. So lucky for him I’m an expert at putting my buddy to work.
All I have to do is point Trooper towards the ponies and he’s stuck to them like glue.
Well, at least until he gets tired – so that’s why I have to keep my eyes on him at all times and make sure he keeps working.
Now that my Trooper babysitting duties are fulfilled I can get back to what I really love to do on the farm!
Digging Digging Digging!
I was playing with my next door neighbor, Harley the Rottweiler, when I happened to mention that I’m a Super Hero. She laughed and said “That’s silly Ammo, you don’t even have a Super Hero outfit”.
So I quickly bounded inside to show her that yes, in fact I do have a Super Hero outfit, and it is so awesome she won’t believe her eyes!
Behold the awesome-ness that is Super Ammo, protecter of canines and hunter of groundhogs.
I can burrow down a groundhog hole as fast and lightning and my paws are like rocket-powered shovels.
I visit the elderly and make children giggle.
I also like unicorns and believe in magic fairy dust….
…and on occasion I roll in dead worms.
Harley is sooooo jealous!
It’s true, on Monday night I lost my collar somewhere on the farm. My pretty one from the Polka Dog Line at Target, complete with my new Blanket ID tag, and my new Cropscotch tag, and even my two new Rubit Clips. Sigh, I was sort of in the dog house when I told mom I had lost all of those things at once. And the worst part was, I couldn’t even remember where I lost it.
So the next day mom and I set out to search the farm for my collar. WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE! Needless to say with 20 acres to search it didn’t turn up.
Then, in a sudden turn of events that day, I accidentally lost my back-up collar! I must have been so engrossed in digging out some local groundhogs that it slipped off my neck. This time we were able to find my collar nearby one of the holes, which made us come to the conclusion that my other collar must be down one of the holes too!
So the very next day we set out on a digging mission (oh happy day) to find my collar.
Armed with shovels and the super strength of my digging paws the mission was simple – dig up groundhog holes!
The whole time I just kept thinking those pesky groundhogs were parading around down there with my prized collar (I am sort of a fashion icon).
I worked myself up into a frenzy over them wearing my collar and ended up doing most of the digging, surprise surprise.
But despite my best digging efforts I was unable to locate my lost collar. Tear. I can’t bear the thought of those groundhogs with something of mine!
But the very worst part was, when we were all done, mom filled in all of my holes!!!! This is just horrible, I’m going to have to pull double digging duty tomorrow to un-dig them all. Sigh.
Ok, I admit it, I’m a bit of a shopping addict. I love scouring the internet for the latest and greatest trendy products – and I love bringing you my Friday Fetch feature every Friday, where I share some of my favorite finds.
The most asked question on the blog seems to be “where did you get that” (It’s because I’m so stylish right?), so I decided to add an “I’m Digging” section to the blog – right there on the sidebar. Here I’ll feature some of my favorite products from my Amazon Affiliate Shop – some of which I own and love, and others that are on my wish list.
So even though you all can’t ride in the shopping cart with me, you can still be just as cool.
I take cool to a whole new level don’t I?
So what am I missing? Any super-awesome new pet products out there that I should know about? Trendy Blogs I should be reading? Do tell.
