sunny with a chance of dirt balls

Some little wolves have yet to discover their passion in life, but this little wolf has most definitely discovered his. :)

we built an outdoor sink :)

A few months ago I was wandering around in the Habitat for Humanity Restore, minding my own business, when right there before my eyes was a Kohler stainless steel drop in sink.  Not just any sink, mind you, but one where one of the basins actually looked long enough to accommodate all of tiny chumley's enlongated cuteness without him having to curl into a donut.   And, it was only five dollars. Five dollars! Clearly, this was a message from the shopping gods. All I had to do come up with a plan,  wait for all the other stuff I needed to show up at the Restore and blammo, tiny chumley's make shift paw washing station would be upgraded to the ergonomic outdoor sink of my dreams.

Of course, it didn't quite work out that way.  Research and planning took forever, and apparently treated wood doesn't show up that often at our Restore, or galvanized pipe for that matter (though ebay does so, yay for pipe fittings by mail!).  And amongst other things, I learned you sometimes have to go to three different Lowes on three different days to find a working pipe cutter machine, a Kreg Jig really is handy, and friends with drill presses are indeed very valuable friends.  Yeah, the shopping gods didn't exactly give me a simple quick and easy project,  but what a super cool project it turned out to be. And yes...just in case you were wondering...

tiny chumley fits perfectly. :)

 

hee hee mom, since we are outside and all, after we wash my paws do u think it would okay if me and duk duk filled the sink all the way to the top and played 20000 poops under the sea? :)

and now a word from my stinky neighbor friend cassie

Hello my friends, it's me, Baxter, your roving rover reporter, reporting to you today about a super cool toy I was sent to review from my friends at chewy.com. Only, I could not review the toy because it is a pull toy and, well, u know, my neck and all. So, I asked my next door neighbor friends the little misses and Cassie if they would help, and lucky for me they said yes, and that they would even do it from way over there. 

So this is Cassie. You remember Cassie, right?  Big, slobbery, panty one and a half year old girl dog who is still learning how to stand over there?  This is what she looks like when she thinks she is going to get a snackie.

And this is what she looks like when she is actually going to get a snackie, which happens to be piece of her gimungous kibble, which I really admire.  The size of her kibble I mean.  Not her. Although she is not bad for a friend who is a girl. Anyhow you can tell she really really really wants that snackie because she is doing her best perky ears and sit.  Remember that because we will get back to that in a moment.

Now this is the very cool toy Cassie will be reviewing.  It is a Kong Rope Squezz. I forgot to measure it before Cassie slobbered all over it but here you can see how it compares to the piece of paper I used to print the review form I made for Cassie to fill out.  The Kong Rope toy is made from a nice woven rope and I would say mid grade durable bitey parts (less durable than a Kong Toy but more durable than a toyfriend) and a cushioney handle.  Overall I'd say based on these materials, it is meant to be an interactive, actively supervised toy and not one u just let your dog chew on and destroy in a minute, because u know, that's what toyfriends are for.










So back to Cassie and her review.  This is Cassie when u squeak the ballie part of the tug toy.  Yep, I'd say she really really really really wants it, dontchoo? Cuz she totally has her snackie face on.   So as Khan would say, "shall we begin?"

Cassie and the little misses played tug and toss and tug, tug, tug for almost and hour and even though the little misses were very tired, Cassie had so much fun that you could tell she would have very much liked to have played longer. 
.

So here are the pros of the Kong Rope Squezz:
1) Soft cushioned handle for the human side allows for extended playing time
2) Easy to grab squeaky ball for dog side
3) If your dog is a hanger on like Cassie is and you need to do some bicep curls, then u pretty much can do your arm workout and play with your dog at the same time
4) It is heavy enough to be chucked pretty far in the yard if u want some rest in between tugs of war
5) Super for any dog who likes interactive play, and does not have to worry about neck or spine issues.

And the cons?
1) As with any tug toy, probably not the best thing for a weenie dog to play with as a tug toy. 
2) Probably not the best use of toy money for a dog that would prefer to just kill a toy (like moi) rather than be in a tug of war with it. 

And how would little miss Julia rate it?

So that's it my friends. If you know a dog that likes their toys on the tuggier side of things, then this toy is definitely for them. And if you happen to order yours from chewy.com, it will get to your house in a flash.  This is Baxter your roving rover reporter wishing you the most wonderful of Wednesdays :)

we so luckee

ooooOOoOoOooOOoooo!! delicious snackies!! boy that sure was nice of miss pam and bailey to send us this package, wasn't it, duk duk? sometimes i think we are the luckiesy dog and duk in the whole world!

hee hee, "chasing baxter".  like u would really have 2 do that if u were gonna give us a bag of poopie. we'd be like just standing there saying, "yes please, fork it over", right duk duk?

yeppies. we should totally write miss pam and bailey a very nice thank u card today. well, maaaybe just after..

summer vacation: dia uno

hee hee hee, u got that right, duk duk.  all we need 2 do is find a trampoline and -- oh, hi mom. what's that? o, just getting ready to, um, well u know, mom...do nothing in particular really. :)

prince plumprump's plumpy rump

so plump was prince plumprump's plumpy rump,

that everybuddy thought he plumped his rump with a pump,

except for the tushie man who most certainly knew,

that putting anything even close to prince plumprump's plumpy rump,

would only make him jumpy jump. :) 

project summer fun 2015

well, if we move all our furniture and stuff into the backyard - well, except the tv and the wii and the trebuchet - and we put some trees inside so they can swing, and maybe put some tarps down so they can, u know (hee hee, and maybe on the walls too bc, well u know). o and fill the refrigerator full of bananas and of course put plenty of monkey chow in the pantry...well, yes, I think it would be funner than just a barrel full. for us and for them. so, can we, mom? please? :)

how 2 make sure your mom and dad never leave u home alone again :)

Though we always try to take him with us wherever we go, the oppressive heat of summer makes it impossible to take the little kielbasa with us for lunch and other little errands where he would have to stay in the car.  But try telling that to a tiny forlorn little weenie boy, who seems to know exactly what heart strings to pull and where to pull them now that we have a new sound activated web cam to watch over him.  :)

copilot :)

sometimes, I wish I were a jet, flying way up high in the big blue sky. and duk duk would be my copilot :)

drawing with little friends :)

hee hee, that's right, it says no lifeguard on duty. little miss sarah did that part. and u see there is a dead fish floating in the water that is going to come ashore any minute now and when it does, me and duk duk, well u see, we are hiding behind that sandcastle, and when the fish washes up, we are gonna jump from behind the sandcastle and  pretty much from there it's "chomp, there it is!".  hee hee hee.

so what did u draw for your bookmark, little miss julia?

ooo - u drew weenies that look just like me!  i like the hearts coming out of their butts, too... what exactly are they do-..eeek!  i love you baxter?!?!? a baxters wedding?? me, giving a ring, to a girl??? um, yeppies that is very lovely, little miss julia...i cannot wait 2 see what u draw for your next bookmark...

pssst - hey can somebuddy hand me over some more bookmark paper and those sharpies? something tells i am going 2 need to hand out a ton of anti cootie bookmarks tomorrow at school. :)

#truestories

so, yesterday, me and duk duk decided to make me a motorcycle helmet out of biodegradable packing peanuts because, well, we had a ton of them, and all u do is just stick them together with water and, well,  u know, we thought me wearing a big ol packing peanut helmet would be really funny for today's blog posty. and so, anyway, while we were making it, the post lady arrived and u could tell she was going to bring us a package, so i asked mom 2 take off my helmet real quick and set it aside because u know, i was gonna get all barky and stuff. and, anyhow lo and behold the postlady brought us the zucchini noodle maker we ordered, so well, long story short, while mom and duk duk were busy making cucumber curly ribbons up on the countertop because we did not have any zucchini because none of us thought our package would arrive so quickly, well, my helmet smelled so popcorny delicious, and it was just lying there so...well, i sort of ate it. before we could take pictures. and that was pretty much our yesterday. which brings us 2 today. and u know, this picture of duk duk and me, not wearing my packing peanut helmet :)

on being a boy in a girl filled world - tip #32 by baxter and duk duk :)

Rather than move mountains, sometimes the best thing u can do is quietly walk away from it and hope nobuddy notices and tries 2 follow u.  :)

men at work

hee hee hee - do not worry mom, now that i am helping, me and dad will have our new hostas planted 4 u in a jiffy! :) :) #happymemorialday

friday night lights

..hee hee, first let me say, pato pato, i am so glad u and anka anka could come visit us this weekend! and that's right, since none of us have our blindfolds with us, duk duk and anka anka will go first and we will have 2 guess what they ate. if we both get it right then they have 2 give us each a gummy worm and we get another turn.  if we get it wrong, then we will have to give them each a gummy worm and it is their turn to guess.  the team who gets the first threeve consecutive answers correct before mom tells us to stop wins.  if mom tells us to stop before either team reaches the goal then the game is a draw and we follow secret rendezvous protocol number alpha tango ocho to meet at the new location to start a new game.  if a player runs out of foofie, he can call on his teammate to substitute for him.  if both team members fail to produce a foofie within the agreed upon sixty miss-a-poopie time limit, then the other team gets to decide whether or not the empty team's time limit can be extended, and if so, the other team also gets to decide the means by which they can earn the extension. if the other team decides against time extension, then the empty team must fork over 1.5 gummy worms for each loss on their next turn.  and, if at any time a poopie shows up, the pooping team must collect it, categorize it, seal it carefully, and donate it to our impressive poopie museum. and then game immediately goes into spin and speed overdrive, which needless to say, involves spinning and speeding.  any questions? :)
 

 

baxter and duk duk's teeny tiny tales for puppies: no grabsies, no chompsies, no messy kerplompsies :)

"oooOOooOooOOOooo!", the little dachshund exclaimed when the smell of what his mom was cooking finally settled down to the level of the tippy tip top of his upwardly pointed nose. "corny corn on the cob!!"

Wasting no time, the little dachshund quickly readied himself for what he knew was going to be his special after lunchy lunch surprise. "hee hee corn on the cob - first of the season!" He anxiously but carefully tucked his napkin under his collar and positioned himself by his little orange table. "two steps away, just like mom says i should be."  Nothing was going to delay his little treat if the little dachshund could help it.

The little dachshund waited and waited and waited, for what seemed like at least sixty seconds of forever.  "i must remember my manners, i must remember my manners," the little dachshund reminded himself over and over again.  "no grabsies, no chompsies, no messy kerplompsies." His heart beat faster with each passing second.  "i must remember my manners.  no grabsies, no chompsies, no messy kerplompsies." His ears pricked when he heard the lid placed down on the counter top, but the little dachshund stayed focused. "i must remember my manners. i must remember my manners. no grabsies, no chompsies, no messy kerplompsies."

With each passing moment, the words rang through the little dachshund's head louder and louder.  By the time his corn arrived, the words filled his mind, like a water balloon ready to burst.  "i must remember my manners.  i must remember my manners..."

"no grabsies..."

 

"no chompsies..."

"no messy kerplompsies!!"

Needless to say, the little dachshund's plan did not go exactly has he wanted it to go, but he and his mom and his tummy ended up very happy anyway, because sometimes all the best you can do is try your best, and you get delicious corn anyway. :)
