curious b

Cold gray weather yesterday meant I hardly saw hide nor hair of the little kielbasa.  Tiny chumley burrowed deep under his blankies in my sewing room and spent most of his day by george, gently roasting as all little dachshunds like to do.

It hardly seemed right to disturb his little tropical oasis on his first true chilly day of the fall season, and so today, a post from warmer times -  just a few weeks ago, when the little kielbasa and his curiosity crashed my message in a doxie photo shoot.

mom, instead of a message could u maybe put some snackies in there and then if u do may i please have one?  or just the snackies would be fine too. :) :)

priceless

Yeah, u know how story ends. :)

busy paws

Just a little happy tiny chumley video today cuz yippee, it's Thursday!! :)

it's a jump to the left

and then a hop to the ri-i-i-i-i-ight! :)

special request

mom, so long as we are going rideys may we go back to the pet store and see if they have any bacon flavored bubbles?  my friend poe has them and he says they are delicious!!

nana nana boo boo

Always a little gent when we take the tiny chumley to lunch with us at the hot dog place, it still doesn't stop him from doing a little wishful thinking, or air licking.

mom, if u take the onions off, i can so help u eat that !!

And that was the start to our happy little Sunday afternoon.  :)

a ball full of rawhide helps the medicine go down

With the weather cool enough so that he go rideys with us on errands, tiny chumley floated high on cloud nine yesterday,  watching from us his car snoozer while we ate lunch seated by the restaurant window so we could watch him, then going to the park for his lunch,  and walkies afterward where we serendipitiously met up with friends we haven't seen in forever.

ooo mom n dad, dat was fun.  where to next??, mister happy go lucky queried when we got back to the car.   Why the fabric store of course, so you and your dad can bake in the sun while I look for some things I need to make duds and elmer fudds. oooh yippee skippee - bakey bakey time with dad!


Shopping mission accomplished, poppin fresh came home still afloat on on his happy cloud, radiating heat from his sausagey body like a meatloaf fresh from the oven.


and what r we doing now mom? he asked with his tail held proud and high.  Well baby dog, I'm sorry but....

I pulled out my dust mask and dremel.   Which for those who do not speak little kielbasa,  readily translates into,  it is time to do your nails. 

nooooOOOooooOoooooOOooooooooooo....  The happy air that had kept Baxter aloft all day whooshed out from beneath him as his dad picked him up and and we all assumed our pawdicure positions.

But don't worry baby dog. Remember you haven't had your nails done in three weeks and that means you haven't had rawhide for three weeks either and that means u get rawhide today!

oh right...woooty pa-tooty! let's get this done, shall we? :) :)

dapper doxie duds: kirby hepburn sedgwick

dear diary,
yippee! didjoo ever have one of those days where u wake up and wonder if u r ever going to get a chance to wear your wig again because teacher told u not to bring it to school anymore even though u were very good and did everything she said and even cleaned her erasers for her? well lucky for me, mom finished kirby's dud yesterday and since her mom described kirby as one part edie sedgwick and one part audrey hepburn, well u know what i just had to do when it came time to model  kirby's hepburn-sedgwick inspired dud.  although boo hoo mom would not let me borrow a sharpie like i wanted to so i could have duk duk draw a beauty mark on me.

anyhoo here is a peekypoo at kirby's dud.  it has cross woven two toned silk pleated trim and freshwater pearls n everything! mehopes kirby likes it!!

well i must go and draw the costume i want mom to make me for halloween so i must say bye bye for now and talk to u tomorrow! :)

dapper doxie duds: olive the buzzy bee

Hooray, today a peekypoo at a cheery little dud I just finished for sweet mini Olive, who regularly checks in on the bees that her mom keeps.  So what's more fitting than a bee inspired dud? One that's made from dyed cashmere and plaid woolen and bound in black sateen and embellished with measuring tape ribbon and a little bee charm.  And a felted ball antennae cap for the days when she's feeling extra buzzy.

 whooo, mom, antennae! bzzzzz. bzzzz. when i am done helping u model olive's dud, can we start making something for me? i have lots and lots of ideas! bzzzzzz.

not yet baby dog, but soon my little friend!

bzzzzzzzzippeeee! :)

snackies in the park

dear diary,
yippee skippee it was such a nice day out yesterday that not only did i get to show lulu the pet store where mom and dad get my kibble, but we went for a nice long walkie in a park that I have never been to before and we had a really swell time.

now, diary, it is only six o'clock in the evening as i write this because i wanted to finish before 2nite's pupjama party starts so i cannot tell u yet how much fun we had after our park walkies and pet store visit but i can tell u that while we were gone duk duk and chocobot went to the game store to pick up a certain wii that was being repaired on account of u know who spilling monkey chow milkshake all over it and yeah u know what we will be doing 2nite - minus the monkey chow milkshakes that is.

anyhoo, with any luck by the time u r reading this we will be on level 1956493 of scooby doo n shaggy's super haunted magic mystery bus adventures so if u need anything, it might have to wait until after we walk thru the hall of golden arches and find the magic key of mystery.

toodley-doo!

heads and tails

With the recent rains having stirred up so many things for two little dachshunds to investigate in the backyard yesterday,  I hardly could catch a glimpse of anything other than little sniffing heads and waggy tails wandering one way or the other, crisscrossing about til finally it was time to go back inside and rest, and wait for Baxter's appointment with the tushie man. :o

A special PS - methinks some homies may have missed out on B's little budgety 2012 desk calendar so I set up a preorder listing in Etsy for anyone interested in reserving theirs from my next order which should be available in early November. So if you are interested in getting a happy little gifty to keep or give this holiday season, just clicky clicky here, but hurry if u want to be included, cuz the little kielbasa will be placing his order on October 20th :)

kitty perch built for two

Two tuckered tushies spent a little quiet time on the kitty perch yesterday afternoon, recharging after a rather wakey wakey pupjama party night and happy bark-ophonous morning.

mom, can u please wake us up from our kitty naps if u see the snackie man and his truck coming?  i so want 2 get everybuddy some fresh n fishy pupcakes for our twister party 2nite! :)

snackies please

dear diary,
hee hee, yep this is me and my friend lulu and yippee she will get to stay with us for a few days and so u know we are having a pupjama party only this picture was taken before we put our jammies on. mom says she is not sure what it is when doxies get together but they always seem hungrier when they are in a pack and that might explain why we spent a lot of the evening looking at her like this. well until we figured boo hoo we were not getting any xtra snackies for the night. 

anyhoo, lucky 4 me with lulu here mom said i do not have 2 go to school and so today methinks if it is not raining and after she and lil pink puppy n chocobot play glitter barbie beauty school then maybe i will show her all the new holes i made in the backyard and maybe we can make some new ones.

i hope u r having fun at your pupjama party cuz i know we are! :)

toodley-doo!

carpe doxem

Four little paws did their very best to climb the stairs of the jungle gym the other day, though I'm not exactly sure why tiny chumley took it upon himself to scramble up so high with such derring do.  Maybe he knew it would rain this week, and that he would spend yesterday quietly snoozing under cover of blankie in his car seat while we ran errands, listening to the gentle rain drip drip drop on the roof of the car, while he happily dreamed of all the fun he had in the sun.  :)

trouble bubble

why no, teacher, i did not lose my copy of romeo and juliet.  why do u ask?
