Trooper and I pride ourselves in being super awesome barn dogs. We take our jobs very seriously, and immerse ourselves in everything on the farm.

Our favorite thing to “immerse” ourselves in on the farm……pony poop! We’re so fortunate that our farm has an abundance of it too. Did you know it’s a real delicacy in dog culture?

After a day of “farm life” Trooper and I can get pretty stinky (just how we like it). Our mom’s haven’t come to appreciate the highly cultivated “barn dog scent” yet, so alas a roll in the manure pile inevitably leads to bath time.

Thanks to our new friends at Absorbine® we now have a product that makes the whole bath experience quicker so Trooper and I can get back to our farm duties faster!

Now all we had to do was wait for Boomerang to get out of the wash stall…..he always hogs all the warm water!

Mom loved how it made it easy to wash two dogs at once in the barn wash stall (since there wasn’t anywhere convenient to tie us up to) and all she needed was a hose and the Woof Pouf.

After our baths we smelled fantastic, even Trooper’s longer hair that traps stinky odors daily smelled great for days after his bath.

Quick and Simple Tug Toy for Dogs

Valentine's Day DIY Flirt Pole - interactive dog toy // Ammo the Dachshund

You might remember that back in February my mom helped me make a Flirt Pole. If you’ve never heard of a Flirt Pole, its basically a cat toy for dogs.

And if you or your dog have never played with one before, let me tell you, it’s seriously the most fun toy EVER! I could play with one of these ALL DAY LONG.

And since I’ve gotten so much use out of my Flirt Pole at home (and still do), mom decided to make me a quick and simple one to use at the shop as well. So after gathering up a few supplies that were laying around the shop I made another easy version of the flirt pole in less than 5 minutes.

5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Pet

You all know I love a good DIY project, and when it takes less then 5 minutes and requires no sewing (for my mom who is not so handy with a needle and thread) it’s just an added bonus!

5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Dog // Ammo the Dachshund

So for Easter this year my mom helped me whip up some quick DIY Bowties that I can wear when all my family comes to visit on Sunday. They’re so fun and easy to make that I can’t even decide which one to wear!

5 Minute No Sew DIY Easter Bowtie for your Pet

What you need:

  • Scissors or Rotary cutter
  • Ruler
  • Fabric
  • Iron (optional)

Step 1: Cut a long rectangular piece of fabric (Mom cut mine 5″ x 19″ to make my small bow tie). The longer and wider you make your rectangle the bigger your bow tie will be. You will also want to cut a thinner strip of fabric, mine was 2″ x 19″, to be used later.

Step 2: Using your large rectangular piece of fabric fold in the edges. You can use an iron to crease the folds if need be.

Step 3: Next fold your ends towards the center so that they just overlap where the center mark would be.

Step 4: Fold the entire piece of fabric in half.

Step 5: With the front of your bowtie facing you, crease it into 3 even pleats. Then place a clothespin on it to hold it in place while you move to the next step.
