i can carry my snackies out all by myself

This past weekend we went to the pet store to restock on snackies for the car, and needless to say, a certain little wolf had a very fine time :)

 

hee hee, no need for a bag miss cashier lady, just like i brought them 2 u, i can also carry my snackies out all by myself! :)

the shipping spot

hee hee, i still love our stamp even after all these years. i could stamp all day, cantchoo, duk duk?

o wait i think i hear mom calling us. yes, mother?

um, well we are almost ready to start packing orders but while u r asking, me and duk duk are pretty sure we need another eleventy hundred boxes to stamp :)

wooty wednesday :)

dear diary,
something tells me that after this tuesday, no matter how things turn out, we all will be ready for a major dose of fun.  so me and duk duk have decided to officially offer our first batch of super cool teeny weenie christmas trees on what we will be calling Wooty Wednesday.  and, because we know how different people are able to log on at different times, we will be splitting our litter into two, and half of our puppy trees will be available in our kalyxcraftopia  Etsy shop at 4:00PM EST, and the other half will be available at 11:00PM EST.

 here is a peek at all we made so far and looky, we have decorated trees and plain trees and short trees and tall trees in every pretty combination u can think of!  and, if u squint very closely, u can see that all our tree puppies have teeny tiny swarovski crystal red noses. except for the im just a teeny weenie on a stand ones, which can still come with a red crystal nose if u order it that way because me and duk duk decided to try and test out using the variation feature on that listing.

speaking of trying out new things, we also converted a lot of our items including our teeny weenie trees to use calculated shipping, which hopefully will improve the accuracy of the shipping charge for your order.  but if for some reason it is still wonky, rest assured me and duk duk will refund the shipping overage when your package is mailed.

okay, so, i should probably go because we still have a lot of work to do.

toodleydoo!,

b. :)

ps - while u r waiting please feel free to browse our extensive dachshund cute christmas and holiday cards and see if u can spot our latest card too! (hint, think me + rudolph) :)

bum ba da dum (#soonThereWillBeDoot mix)

Hee hee, tiny chumley and I will be busy this weekend, and thanks to a certain little wolf and falcon's mad video skills, here's a peek at why. :) 

kalyx craft opia :)

hee hee, yeah, duk duk, my head is still spinning too. and we have not even eaten today's candy serving yet.  i am not really certain mom understands the likelihood of our being able to satisfactorily complete our soap packaging task given our post-halloween candy consumption schedule for the next few weeks. i mean, we used math and everything to figure out precise and increasing dosages of candy to get us buzzier and buzzier until finally, hopefully by thanksgiving, we can stuff our tummies til they burst and glide straight into a post-feastocalyptic coma. state of which hopefully will make most of december bearable until, yay christmas! 

anyhow, i guess we should get on with things.  this first impression we made with our new custom wax stamp turned out pretty nice, didn't it?but maybe we should move it over here and....oh, yeah, i see your point.  how did i not even think of that first? okay, let me ask her...

mom, did u happen to buy any brown wax by any chance? :)

saving halloween (part 3: a new beginning)

 






no, it's okay,  mom, really.  halloween is pretty much like the only day we want 2 ride the bus instead of pedaling 2 school.  well today and tomorrow on the bus because The Great Candy Exchange is tomorrow and that is practically the only day we can get rid of any smarties we collect, outside of us smashing them into candy dust. which i admit is pretty fun, but at least on TGCE Tuesday, we can turn our smarties into gummy gold. so, thank u for the offer, but we will stick with going 2 school on the bus.

okay, we will c u later....

 

























hee hee hee, yeppies i know, right? like nobuddy's gonna ever gonna guess it is me because really, a wolf in a wolf costume? who would expect that??

well, technically that's true, duk duk, i'm a wolf in a wolf slash bunny costume, but seriously, everybuddy at school will be so busy saying like, my what big teeth u have, and oooo what smelly breath u have,  that i hardly think anybuddy will notice anything past the ferocious head gear mom helped us frankenzombiewolf from the zombie wolf we got at the thifty store...

hee hee hee, yessiree, my friends, today we are going 2 have a fantastic day at school. :)

 

it came from behind

hee hee okay, mom i promise i did not peek at all when we were walking here so just let me know when i should turn around and look at what i am sure will be something very cool but not necessarily as spectacularly ferocious as me because really, and i am not bragging here but have u seen how white my paws have gotten? i mean any day now i think my fangs will be geting longer and sharper and my ears will get all pointy and my tail all bushy and ..what's that? oh i can start turning around?

so anyway like i was saying, i can hardly thing of anything as ferocious as me so whatever u want 2 show me must be really really super...

scary!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! run people, run it's a giant bunny!!!!

saving halloween (part 2 - occam's scissors)

whoa, duk duk, i think u r right.  it is one thing when your natural wolfy instincts take over and, well, u know, things happen.  but it is entirely another thing when u have to, well, u know, with the scissors..and the cutting... and the science n stuff... 

i mean, i know he is a zombie so he will not feel anything, but he looks so real still. and i know when we were at the thrifty store we we all like, yeah this will be so cool and macabre and slightly ironic but not in a hipster way because, well for one thing, way more ferocious. but now that we actually have to do it, well...

okay duk duk, u win.  u and chocobot go ask mom if she can help us get the major work done, and in the meanwhile we will clear the area and get ready for the procedure. and hurry because...

oh, hi mom. wow that was fast. um, yeah, so i think duk duk and chocobot filled u in on what we need right? snip snap, snip snip, snip snap. snip. and then we can take it from there.  right? okay. if u need us or have any questions,  we will be right here.

hee hee, do not worry this will all be over in a jiffy and not only will u have a name but we will rebuild u stronger and better than before. :)

saving Halloween (part 1)

boy, it sure seemed like a good idea at the time to agree with mom about letting her off the hook for making us our costumes because her freezy shoulder really put a wrench in our makey schedule for this year, but here we are 5 days before halloween and we've got zilcho for costumes and no plan at all on how we will  replenish our winter candy reserves...

...now i finally understand why bears and dick proenneke work so hard every summer getting ready for winter.  mom even bought some random chocolate candy to hand out this year that I cannot even eat because I am a wolf and u know what they say about wolves and chocolate. yep that's right, a whole lotta nopies. 

what's that, chocobot? oh, that's right, u n lil pink puppy weren't here were u? mom will not let us use her credit card anymore on account of the all the u know whats we ordered. how were we supposed to know we were not allowed raise an army of sea monkeys in mom n dad's bathtub? they never use it anyway and really, we only forgot to feed them one day. but ANYWAY...i wonder...i wonder...

o i know! our poop mushie fund! it will not be enough to buy us all costumes but between what stuff we have here and what we might find at the thrifty store, we might be able to save Halloween after all!  okay, just let me get my sad eyes on and then I will ask her..okay...

momma, will u pleas take us to the thrifty store after school today? :)

maximum velocity :)

nopies, sorry, mom, as u can see we have already entered pre-ignition phase and cannot abort without suffering serious and catastrophic consequences.  but i promise i will help duk duk clean our heat cave just as soon as we are finished, okay? okay...   

okay unkie skritchy, all systems are primed and ready - please fasten your seatbelt securely and proceed to maximum skritching velocity!!

hee hee hee, faster unkie skritchy, faster!! :) :)

makers mark

well mom, the new makers mark u had made for us is pretty cool and i am sure we will make plenty of super cool things for our etsy shop with it, but, well...

dontchoo think it needs more wolf and falcon? :) 

blanket weather

Even though a certain little wolf often likes to stay up and wait patiently for me to join him and his dad in bed, most nights nowadays by the time I am ready,  I find him like this, already in a deep wolfy sleep, snug and happy as a little bug. :)

misDirection

oh, well nothing really, mom. i mean, well other than trying to grow a pair of antlers. is that what u were asking about? because i sure do not smell anything out of the ordinary. nopies, nosirree :)

exstinked

whoa duk duk, u were right. the air has been clearing for hours now and i am still dizzy! maybe next time we should really listen to mom and not play guess whose foofie inside anymore.  at least when we both have been preparing for days. that touch of stinky fermented tofu was pure genius by the way. i bet it tasted horrible but the effect was so worth it! i wonder how we will ever top..ooo hang on..

mom, may me and duk duk please borrow your credit card and order some surströmming, i mean, may we please order something important from amazon? we promise we will pay u back :) 

fall cleaning

mom, if u have to clean today can u please remember not to throw all my toyfriend guts away like u did last time? me and duk duk were saving them for hallowUKnowWhat. :)

wolf island

dear diary,
earlier this week, mom and dad took me to the beach, and needless to say we all had a lot of fun.  it was mostly a delicious eating trip, but we also got some quality beach time walkies in and it is very amazing what a difference a day makes. in fact, i wish duk duk could have come with us instead of choosing to go with chocobot and lulu the tiger and lil pink puppy to the land of make believe (which is very real than u very much, but not very accommodating to ferocious wolves because, well u know, ferocious. plus really where can u hide from a ferocious wolf when all the castles and forts and even the best hiding places are made of edible pink sparklepuff?).  anyhow, like i was saying i wish duk duk could have come with us as i am pretty certain we could have gotten him to fly on the second day we were there on account of the hurricane coming even though it was still pretty far off. plus parking was free because all the meters were wrapped up, so we could have stayed as long as we wanted to.

but even without duk duk and even with the hurricane coming, the beach was still a very nice place to visit and walk on because all that salty air can really clear a wolf's head and help him think and stink.

so, even though our stay at the beach was very brief, all in all we had a very lovely time. in fact, there is pretty much only one thing i wish could be just a little different, if only for just like, oh, thirty seven seconds...

hee hee, okay so i will probably be posting more about my visit on instagram and facebook later because now me and duk duk have to study for the test we have in ten minutes. i hope u have a wonderful day, diary.

toodleydoo,
b. :)

mission impoopable

um,well...i would love to move, mom...but..i have it on good authority...that...the immediate vicinity...is...poopie trapped. :) 

veni vidi venue

well mom, i was thinking me and duk duk could have our slinky snakey derby here, on my ramp. that way pretty much any shape will roll except for maybe a mushie. and since it will not be raining inside and because i eat a diet rich in fiber, it is highly unlikely that a mushie will even happen really. well, unless lil pink puppy spills his slushie again but when we send out the evites we will be sure to say that no slushies will be allowed by the ramp under any circumstances. and we will put the slushie stand in the garage along with the dunk tank and foofie stink contest just to be sure.  so can we do it? please? :)
