problem solved :)


hmmmm...well, there is my bed under our bed, my bed by the foot of our bed, and my bed to the side of our bed.  we could put them all together and I bet it would be long enough.  especially if dad takes his pillow and a blankie with him. and then that way, there would finally b enough room for everybuddy and i would not be kicking him and waking him up and stuff. :)

etsy fresh: u know, for mom and dad, and like for anybuddy who was ever born


Let me start by saying the obvious. tiny chumley and I should be doing our taxes.  Which is precisely why we did everything in our power not to yesterday.   Laundry was folded, flowers picked, celebrity gossip googled, the floor swept, holes dug, paws washed, naps under down blankies taken, and a rather lengthy blog post on baxter's adoption was started then tabled because it was time to start thinking about dinner and how it probably would somehow be better if we ate out because of all the things I did think about, defrosting something and then preparing it for dinner was not one of them.  And yippee -  we even loaded some happy new little doxie cards to the etsy shop, which proves that there really is a pot of cuteness gold at the end of every procrastination rainbow.

Next week we'll really hunker down and do those taxes, but for now, happy shopping and happy thursday, my friends! :)

meanwhile back in middle hyuk...




yes dad, I know mom will b home tomorrow and I promise I will come up to bed after I tell my niteynite joke. i will only be just a second...



okay, why did the pink manatee cross the road? 


to poop on the other side!


ahaha hyuk hyuk hyuk!!!


nitey nite my friends :)

poopiesmell island

dear diary,
although me and duk duk's stowaway spring break vacation to the beach with mom and madwilly was very short and now we will be on our way home shortly, at least it was very long in memories. i hope one day me and duk duk can pedal back 2 this beach for real, maybe inside a giant hamster ball because a) there were big dogs  b) we could walk on the water and float around c) me and duk duk could have a picnic inside and not worry about getting sand all over our gummy worms liek we did this time, and d) we would be protected from the eagles and ospreys that seem to like lurking about.  oh and the hamster ball would need an ez access panel bc i found out some people bait their crab traps with pig bones and the bones wash up to shore from time to time.  i am pretty sure the bones would be delicious because toy me saw a big dog snitch one while on a beach walkie and he was very disappointed that his mom told him he had to drop it.

anyhoo, before we leave the beach completely, me and duk duk hope 2 sneak off to the souvenir store today and get some saltwater taffy and some shark teeth and maybe if we are lucky, some sea glitter and manatee poop in a bottle for everybuddy back home.  and then we will be back on the road so be sure to check our instygram and facebooky  because i am pretty sure the drive back will be especially boring, especially since we will be packed in mom's canvas tote again since somedukkie forgot to pack our magic transformation potion. which is probably just as well because we are really hoping to be packed next to the stinky shell bucket.

toodleydoo!

little stowaways

hee hee, duk duk, it was pure genius to transform ourselves into tiny toys so we could stow away with mom and madwilly on their vacation to the beach. who needs 2 make up snow days on your spring break when u can play in the sand, right?



u don't think mom will notice if we eat the sandwiches she packed, do u? :) :)

dear diary,

fun for a boy or a girl: ezpz doxie sleeve sweater makey project numero dos



Why hello my friends, it's me, Baxter, your roving rover reporter, reporting to you today about a very special and ez pz weekend project.  You see, even though winter will be over in no time, it still seems spring is pretty far away. And if where you live is as cold as it has been here, then u just might want 2 try this too.  Because today's project is the ez pz sweater numero dos.  To do this project, all u really need is a sleeve from a very nice and soft cashmere or merino wool sweater that u can get for just a few gummy worms at the thrift store.  Make sure the sweater has a sleeve that is long enough and wide enough to fit your sausagey body.



Now, u can measure to make things more exact but if u want to spend more time playing on your wii and less time, u know, measuring and stuff, u can do like me and mom did and just eyeball everything.  Cut the sleeve longer than u need, and, with help from your mom, stuff yourself into the sleeve and have her mark where the arm slits should be with a sharpie.  Take off the sweater and cut the slits, then retry on the sweater. Mark the length of the sweater u want, cut that, and voila. 






For this particular sweater, the knit sleeve binding was a little tight on my neck meat, so we cut down the seam and looky, the binding turned into a really cute collar. 

And that's pretty much it, eyeball, fit, snip snap and you're done!  But, say if u want to go the extra mile..











Here is what me and my mom did with my friend Hank's turtleneck sweater.  It's like mine only the edges are finished with doublefold bias binding. 
   

And the best part about this project? If u mess up, u still have one sleeve left to work with AND u have enough sweater to make the original ez pz tube sweater I reported about this same time last year! So really how can u go wrong? 

Anyhoo, I would give u more details but I sort of ran out of time bc I am helping mom pack for one of her adventures and so if u have any questions please feel free to comment and I will try to answer them as best I can while she is gone.  This is Baxter your roving reporter wishing you a very happy makey weekend! :)

someone 2 lookup 2

Just like the middle child whose older sibling has moved on to college, Baxter now seems to find himself the big wolf among his circle of neighborhood puppy friends.  It's a role I think he accepts with a begrudging mixture of glee, denial, and impatience.... :) 












whoa whoa! okay cassie i will show u how 2 do it right but u have GOT 2 stand over there, no exceptions.







 


 





more...more..more..okay that's good.



















okay so. three things.  one - all legs firm on the ground like this. but that does not mean u cannot b creative. for special angles or to achieve shading effects, u might try putting a paw on a rock or a tree root, or even a turtle if u r lucky enough to find one this time of year. 

 two - lean in.  if u r in it 2 win it then u must take your time and if u have to take your time then u must get comfortable. otherwise it's just dribbles everywhere. 

three -  i sort of mentioned it in two but it deserves its own talking point.  take your time. don't just pee it all out as fast as u can because then u just melt a hole in the snow.  










okay that's all i've got time 4 because i told duk duk we would meet him by the frozen creek so, yeah, good luck with all that and please tell little miss julia i hope her leg feels better.  

bye little miss sarah!
















doop bee doo, doop bee doo, doop bee doo...yep this weather sure is exhilarating! i can see why a ferocious wolf likes to walk in this stuff.  so fluffy and white and minty fresh! i mean, if cassie can do it, then i sure can cuz i even have a coat. i mean, it's not blue puffy jacket like dad's but still, i have my sweater and my  fur and yep, yessiree, walking in this snow sure is fun. i could do it, like, all day lo- what? gone? r u sure sure mom?









 last one home is a rotten poopie snake!! :) :)
