the day before

hee hee, what do you think my friends?  i cannot wait til father's day morning tomorrow when we suprise dad with the super cool bookends we got him at the flea market today from mister randy! it was totally worth trading in the trebuchet for this -  dad has so many books and now he can display them as one super super super long doxie if he wants to!

what's that, oh yeah u r right duk duk, it is only three o'clock now and father's day is not for another eighteen hours.  if he sees us here with our gift then it would spoil the surprise. maybe we should hide it in the backyard behind the poop mushie stand.  nobuddy ever goes there..hee hee, or should, without wearing a gas mask at least.


anyhoo, these bookends are so heavy, i think we are all going to need to help push it out there, especially since it is still a little muddy outside and if we get stuck, well there will be no way we can bring it back in for father's day...

so i will get in front and pull but everybuddy else needs to get behind the wagon and push, okay? and remember, do not stop or we will get stuck!   

happy father's day :)

hee hee okay dad u can hug me for as long as u want but sometime today me and duk duk and chocobot and lulu the tiger and lil pink puppy all need to take u out back so we can give you our father's day gift. otherwise, well, let's just say come rain or shine it might not be the same if we wait too long. :) :)

too big for tummy

When highlights of a little dog's day suddenly take a turn down lowlight lane...

take it away?? no, mom, really, i am pretty sure my tummy can handle eating all of it right now...

flotsam and jetsam

 

hee hee, no, i have not seen anything about the great white poop shark yet, have u duk duk?  i am glad we decided to add underwater sea diving for when we sail the seven seas this summer. between your water proof feathers and my googles and my blue floatie, we should be able to see not only the great white poop shark up close, but maybe also we we are lucky, we will even see moby poop himself!   i am so glad today is the last day of school, arentchoo duk duk?  oo - i think i hear the bus coming! get in the wagon hold my goggles so i can pull us to the bus stop!! :) :)

First time inside visitor and long time play buddy, tiny chumley had himself a great time over at the little misses' house yesterday, celebrating a birthday as only little misses and a little dog might do :)

...and, hey u do not mind if i walk around and explore, do you? anyhoo, you can put tiny baby in there and she will never get lost and you can even convert it from a backpack to a purse and - whooooooa....is that -  do i -  do i spy the barbie and ken megafunfun mansion of magnificent wonders?? and in the super rare particularly powerful passion pink?? with a flatpanel hdtv over the fireplace and tent on top?? you guys never told me you had --

me likey dat: wally world doxie scrubby

A happy little find in the bath section at Walmart, the irony of which was not lost on a certain little kielbasa.

mom , if it is really true that our new dachshund friend likes to take a bath, a) are u sure he is really a doxie, and b)can he totally take my place when it is time for mine next time??

i'm your little señorit-er

..okay everybuddy, we can wash all four of my paws no problem but after we wash my snout, go easy on the hair tonic that sprouts into flowers because i do not want to smell like stinky flowers for any longer than i have to, okay?  okay. :)

dapper doxie duds: funk soul highlander

Hee hee, I  hope a certain little somebuddy named Millie will have as much fun wearing her new dud and celebrating her family's heritage, as much as I did making it.  :)


Made for Millie: Vibrant peacock blue lace overlay vest harness on hand dyed cotton damask base, carmine red plaid binding.  Embellished with a Gordon Rennie Mackintosh sterling pin and removable brown and blue tweed woolen kilt and scarf. For romping through heathered moors, and other happy adventures. :) 

 mom, next time, can you please always make another one in my size so i can model it properly?  me and duk duk really wanted to wear kilts anyway for our scottish pirate adventure. they are so flattering yet so very versatile too.  and breezy! :)

stalwart

Even when there's a noise that might distract the little kielbasa's eyes, it's nice to know that his little shadow still helps to keep his best interests at heart.

hee hee, okay shadow, i'll look and see what that noise was but you keep staring at mom til she gives us a snackie, okay? okay. :) :)

bottomless

so thankful am i for this my lunchy kibble ...

but please next time, 

could you make it

 more than just a nibble?

:) :)

dapper doxie duds: little lady liberty of london

My encounters with interesting fabrics of certain color combination or pattern at a thrift store can burn a hole in my consciousness at times.  It hits me like puzzle yearning to be solved, a rabbit hole begging to be fallen into.  A temptation, a fixation, difficult for my crafty mind to ignore.

A few weeks ago, I spied what looked to be a Liberty print shirt at the thrift store.  Nope, I realized upon closer inspection, it wasn't Liberty of London after all.  But it was Land's End and what a nice shirting fabric it was, in a fabulous color combination you just don't see every day. Which could make it really difficult to find a fabric to us for binding but dang if it wouldn't make the sweetest little dud, I thought to myself, seeing the dud in my head as I always do when I am inspired, as a peek to an image just out of focus, with enough form and composition to make my heart flutter, yet not so much revealed that the experience of making it would be a matter of rote execution.  It was the kind of creative itch that simply had to be scratched.

I embarrased to admit I have amassed more than a few combinations awaiting match with that special little dachshund out there somewhere that I have yet to meet.  But lucky for me and my creative itch, with this Liberty of Londonesque combination, tiny chumley and I already know of a certain little spunky somebuddy who turned 14 this weekend, who loves to be pulled in her little red wagon to the Farmer's Market on Sunday mornings, and for whom her mom and I had discussed long ago the fleeting prospect of including a cute little peter pan collar for a dud, only back then my experience and ability were nowhere where they are today.

Happy 14th birthday, Molly, my little friend.  Your sweet little dud will be on its way soon. :)

For Molly: Cotton Floral Print in Blues, Lavender and Turquoise with pintuck detailing and peter pan collar, removable hand dyed silk and freshwater pearl removable neck flower. Perfect for happy Sunday mornings at the Farmer's Market.

testing testing one two pee: tiny tinker tailor soldier spy

Yeah, the little kielbasa and I really are messing with the blog feeds today, so please disregard the tinkering, but enjoy this picture of tiny tinker.  Happy Sunday! :)
