Friday Fetch: Antler Dog Toys

I’m no stranger to antler chews, but an antler chew AND a dog toy, now that’s something I can totally get behind. Smoky Mountain Studio uses 100% natural, North American deer or elk antlers that are naturally shed. Antlers help clean teeth and last a long time and are also odor free with no dyes or preservatives.

Kentucky Bluebird Kennel Bed Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Kentucky Bluebird.

Did you ever just want to curl up and take a nap on the fluffiest, softest thing you can find? Well thanks to my pals at Kentucky Bluebird, your search for the fluffiest napping spot is over!

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kentucky Bluebird kindly sent me over one of their 100% certified organic canvas dog beds to take for a spin, and let me tell you, this thing is like napping on a cloud! The insides of these beds are stuffed with recycled polyester fill, and are securely stitched into place – so even the most powerful diggers (ahem, me) can’t tear them apart.

I was sent a 28″ x 18″ bed in fern green, but these beds come in lots of sizes and 9 different colors, and can even be custom made to any size you need.

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My Kentucky Bluebird bed fit perfectly into a dog kennel that I already owned.

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Don’t have a kennel? These can just as easily be used as dog bed in any room, and I even think it would be great to travel with as it’s just big enough for me to curl up on but not too big to take up a ton of space.

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As you can see it’s 6″ of fluff was so comfortable that I had trouble even keeping my eyes open long enough for mom to take pictures.

Mom even caught me napping in my crate several times over the past few weeks with this fluffy bed. And if you know me, you know this is VERY RARE, because I don’t particularly love being in crates.

Cowabunga Dude!

Ok so it’s one more day until Halloween, but I just couldn’t wait any longer to reveal my 2013 Halloween Costume!

Cowabunga, Dude! Ammo the Dachshunds 2013 Halloween Costume - Raphael the Ninja Turtle

Fittingly I decided to dress as another Hero of sorts, Raphael the Ninja Turtle, who even happens to be named after a famous painter. So I thought it was pretty appropriate that I chose to dress as him, since I am a painter as well!

Cowabunga, Dude! Ammo the Dachshunds 2013 Halloween Costume - Raphael the Ninja Turtle

Now being a Ninja Turtle doesn’t come without it’s own set of responsibilities. I don’t just carry around my Sai’s for fun, I have to protect the city from bad guys, specifically Shredder!

Cowabunga, Dude! Ammo the Dachshunds 2013 Halloween Costume - Raphael the Ninja Turtle

While I’m fighting crime my mask helps to protect my identity, although I’m pretty sure there aren’t too many masked turtles running around the city, but nonetheless!

Cowabunga, Dude! Ammo the Dachshunds 2013 Halloween Costume - Raphael the Ninja Turtle

I’ll let you in on a little secret though, the real reason I chose to dress as a Ninja Turtle is I hear they get all the pizza they can eat!

Cowabunga, Dude! Ammo the Dachshunds 2013 Halloween Costume - Raphael the Ninja Turtle

Weapons, pizza, and heroes – now that’s my kind of costume!

Cowabunga, Dude! Ammo the Dachshunds 2013 Halloween Costume - Raphael the Ninja Turtle

I even have an awesome turtle shell that my mom made to protect me from attacks! (and special thanks to Rebel Wag for custom making me my turtle hoodie) I’m totally ready for battle!

Cowabunga, Dude! Ammo the Dachshunds 2013 Halloween Costume - Raphael the Ninja Turtle

So when the darkness creeps in tomorrow on Halloween, you better watch out…..

Cowabunga, Dude! Ammo the Dachshunds 2013 Halloween Costume - Raphael the Ninja Turtle

….because nobody, and I mean nobody, is gonna touch my pizza while I’m on duty!
