today i am ten :)


 Every day is a birthday as far as tiny chumley is concerned, but somedays are definitely more birthday than others :)
 
"ooooOOOOOooOOooOOOOoOOoooo!" the little wolf  squeed when his mother finally brought out his birthday meat cake,  his nose having told his tummy ages ago that something special was most definitely in his future.  "one..two..eleventy..ten.  i count ten carrot candles! and u know what that means everybuddy - today, i am ten!"

final draft review


 ...hee hee, well of course nobuddy really likes him, duk duk. but he's the guy with all the presents so what can u do, really?

 yeah, i am glad that mom does not make us go see him in person either. my friend hankie says with every passing year he gets scarier and scarier,  and if hankie thinks he is scary, u know what i would think. and i am pretty sure santa would not take very kindly to an impromptu meeting with agent brown, if u know what i mean. 

yeah, it is so much better just to write him a letter, even if we do have to write it all by hand still. 

 









































oh yes, where were we?  oh yes, final draft review. let's go back to the first page.. "dear santa....howya doin...technically good all year...blah blah blah...duk duk's fault...my fault..."  turning to next page...

















 





"...mutually resolved to each party's satisfaction...laser guided mega monster trebuchet...block of cheese...robot walrus submarine...cannot take delivery until the 3rd for obvious reasons ....regards to the missus...enjoy the carrots and cookies..hope u did not step on the u know what by the stoop.  yours truly, baxter & duk duk".

well, i think that's pretty good, dontchoo duk duk? i mean, concise and to the point with just enough pleasant chit chat to hopefully smooth over some of our more notable infractions this year. which we clearly did not hide or cover up and in fact i think we explained ourselves pretty well. but, i guess don draper is right about changing the conversation.  i mean like, we never ask for cheese and santa i am sure will be like, cheese? what's a wolf and falcon going to do with cheese? i guess i will just have to find out! and then he will give us everything on our list because our list is so short, like seriously, he should be embarrassed to give us anything less than all of it really. then come christmas morning, bwoop! megamonstertrebuchet-robotwalrussubmarine!
  











 
hee hee hee, i love christmas so much, dontchoo duk duk? :)

little lap wolf


Without fingers and thumbs there isn't really much a little wolf can do to help with filling doot orders, and yet tiny chumley always manages to fill the most important job of all.

hee hee mom, do not worry if your legs fall asleep because at least i will keep them warm :)

cyber brown wednesday is today and there will be two doots :)



dear diary,
today is the day me and duk duk have been waiting for forever as far as cyber brown wednesday goes, and so I thought I would show u the things we will be putting in our shop today and tell you that we will be doing it in two doots, one in the mid morning during our lunchy lunch, and one in the late evening so that way we can stay up late and have a midnight snackie.

there are plenty of things i would like to tell you about our doots, but really we spent so much time writing our listings that i am pooped.  but i do want to tell u that even if u do not score a three wise poops, i hope that u might take the time to read one of those listings because we included an early draft excerpt from the companion book we hope to be working on soon (but probably not soon enough for christmas because seriously, after this we really have to focus on making at least a few christmas ornaments like we promised).

anyhow, i hope u had a wonderful thanksgiving and a dootiful day, and like i like to tell duk duk every day after third period when we have to split up for gym class, "smell u later my friend!"

toodley-doo!
b.

PS - here is a link to my mom's etsy shop where u will find everything at the appointed times (or at least close to it bc the first time we will have to hunt and peck thru our listings to make sure the right ones are activated.)   https://www.etsy.com/shop/kalyxcraftopia

PPS - if u missed out on a regular teeny weenie christmas tree or are looking for a block one please do not worry we will be making more eventually :)

digging weather

There are many reasons why my makey productivity ain't what it used to be, but the reason i will miss most long after it is gone is the one that brings me out on a warm autumn day, after a certain little someone made it perfectly and noisily clear that days like these are not the kind of days you waste inside.

hee hee, let me just finish eleventy hundred holes, mom, and then we can go back inside, okay? okay. :)

gas flap

hee hee hee, i think this just might work, duk duk! now all we have to do is ask mom to point george at our uknowwhats and then i think we can finally take our nap uninterrupted and that way we can be fresh and ready for tonitey nite's #tgidiscoDootFriday!

under the bus

no,mom, i do not think duk duk needs a bath anymore than i d-oooOOOooooOooOooooOoo! um, u know, he has been a little smellier than usual. is that snackie for menu any chance?? :)


(psst - if u missed out on our last #teenyweeniexmastreeevent we are planning another megadoot this friday november 18th at 8:00 pm eastern standard time and will also have some secret and surprise mini doots whenever too so be on the lookout! and, if u r wondering if we will be making a weenie ornament for the tree, the answer is yeppies but it will not debut til after thanksgiving for easily foreseen but ultimately inevitable reasons. and they will probably be in very limited supply this year bc we really want to take our time making each and every one :) )

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 :)

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? :)
