etsy fresh: some super cool new cards

Hello my friends, it's me, Baxter, your roving rover reporter.  Today I'm going to tell you about one the new cards I just put in my mom's etsy shop, because, well, mom said I cannot tell you about me and duk duk and chocobot and lulu the tiger and lil pink puppy's friday night stinkapolooza until after the stink is gone from the family room carpet.  Which might be a while, because it was that kind of super stink. And I can only tell you about one card because that is all I have time for.  On account of the stink abatement protocols, which went into effect at 19:00 hours yesterday night.  Because of stinkapalooza.

Anyhoo, this is my super cool new congratulations card, which has a very special surprise in it.  I will not spoil it here but if you clicky clicky here you can see the listing and see for yourself what's inside.  Needless to say, this would be a super card for, you know, times when u want to help someone celebrate an achievement, like, graduating from school, or saving up enough gummy worms to buy a new pedal car, or maybe they asked a special girl to stand over there and she said yes. Or maybe they got accepted into the secret stink society, or, they finally wrote their report on walruses! Or, maybe your friend got a promotion at work, or maybe they won the guess whose foofie super nationals, or well, u know, stuff.  Like how maybe me and duk duk and lulu the tiger and lil pink puppy finally got the stink our of our family room carpet.  Which will be an incredible accomplishment indeed.

My name is Baxter your roving rover reporter, wishing you the superest of Saturdays! 


ps - if you would like to see the other new cards in my shop, u can click here on any of the following linky links: anniversary card, unicorn appreciation day friendship card, and my hello friend postcard (which is not new but never before really offered for sale because I have been including them with orders, but some friends have been asking for me to offer it so they could buy more and so there u have it! ) .  okay, time to get back to stink abatement duties.  toodleydoo! :)

tiny visitor

Two little kielbasas frolicked in our house yesterday afternoon, goofing about and getting plenty of snackies and catching up as only little dachshunds do, til finally both were tuckered out and it was time for Baxter's little friend Lulu and her mom to go home. 

goodbye lulu but not for lo-ooong! i cannot wait til u come back next month to spend a few days with us and if u cannot wait either u are always welcome to spend the day with me and we can drink monkey chow milkshakes and play on the wii with duk duk n lil pink puppy n chocobot! :) :)

happy hello ween :)

well, i know sewing pleather and sewing tiny are really difficult, mom, but i am really disappointed. because yesterday u said that they were all done, which i took 2 mean obviously that they were ALL done, including chocobot's and lulu the tiger's and lil pink puppy's costumes, because basically they are just the same as mine, only different shaped and sized. i even had your status down as green in our project master file report as little as three hours ago.but  now here are at t minus twenty4 hours about to start our dry run with the little misses, and Project OompaWonkaWinked is totally in deep poopies. which, on any other day would be just fine because, well, u know, poopies.  but we are talking candy here, mom, candy, and the one opportunity a year to get lots of it for free. 

okay, so, our scientifically optimized trick or treat schedule requires us to be at house number one by five pm, so with travel and snackie time, plus a little foofie factor thrown in for good measure, the new and final costume dropsqueak deadline is three pm.

well, we've got a dry run and u have work to do, so i won't keep u any longer, mom. and i would like to thank u for your time and contribution to Project OoompaWonkaWinked thus far.  bye mom, we'll see u after the dry run.

 




hee hee, finally, a use for all that mumbo jumbo speak i always hear dad using on his work calls.  u don't think i was too hard on her, do u, duk duk?  yeah, u r right, there is no room for babies in project OWW.

okay, so, when we go to the little misses house, remember, duk duk, since u won the guess whose foofie game, u are U Know Who.  and that means u have to do all the talking - candy recall, effective immediately, but this time instead of blueberries, it turns people into falcons, or wolves, or tigers, yadda yadda yadda.  u can improvise a little to keep it from sounding too scripted, but stay in character and remember to work with what we have. main message is, candy defective, sincere apologies, we are here to take it back 4 u and my very cute and diminutive u know whats will gladly help u.  what u say will be very important because i think on my own people will look at me and be like, who's the witch wearing the shiny hurricanes onesie? (siri, research note to self: does tim burton like hockey?)

now, the plan is for the rest of us to be quiet and just collect the candy, but if prompted, we have 2 be ready to sing and dance.  lulu the tiger and chocobot, have u both been eating chocobot's special glitter this week and practicing the helium foofie?  good. 

 well, alrighty then, i think we're ready to start this dry run.  all together on three.  one. two. three...

good morning starshine, the earth says hello! :)

 

 

i bark, u bark, we all bark for gelato!

dear diary,
hooray! both our guests here at the motel park n bark decided to stay for an extra night so to celebrate, yesterday mom n dad too me n lulu to get k9 krunchy peanut butter gelato while mario hung out at home with duk duk and chocobot and lil pink puppy to play twenty thousand foofies under the sea.  and i have to say, even though i had to share my snoozer with a girl, i think i totally got the better end of the deal bcuz not only did i get peanut butter gelato, but i actually got to eat the whole thing! and me and lulu each got our own cups so there was no chance for, u know, that lady n the tramp spaghetti kissing stuff to happen (although our cups did touch once or twice but if u tell duk duk that i will so pound u, diary, so please, let's just keep that between u and me, okay?)

anyhoo, today i am not sure what we will be doing to entertain our guests but hopefully it will involve snackies and foofies and yes, at least a poopie snake or five or twelve or infinity so!

toodley-doo!
b. :)

today i am sixteen :)

hee hee o m g! 

my birthday crown is even better than i imagined! it is so incredibly ferocious! i am sure mom will not mind if a wolf tries it on before everybuddy gets here. 



hee hee, hey look at me i’m king of the wol - wait nope nopies nope abort abort!  



mom, i regret to inform you that physics of ferociousness are such that it will be impossible for me to wear this lovely crown u made without putting the universe at great risk. the combination of two extreme powers of ferociousness that u see before you are not simply additive, they are logarithmically exponential.  i wore the crown for like two seconds and already i could feel the fabric of the universe tearing.  maybe if we hurry, we could go with a plan b for my birthday picture , u know, with me just being here next to it. although, a wolf cannot guarantee anything because he has already been standing next to it for all this time. 

well, i might be able to channel some of the ferociousness to my funny bone but even then i am just not sure we can get the results we r … rawwr … the results we r .. hee hee phoowee… rawwr… the results we r looking… 

..for.   um, maybe we should just skip to the part where we bring out my meat cake?  i will wait here. gee, i wonder what is taking duk duk and  chocobot and lulu the tiger and lil pink puppy so long. they should be here by now.



hee hee ooOOOOooooOOOoooo!  now that’s what i’m talking about. . 



sixteen carrot candles on a meat cake bigger than my head! and all my favorite fruits! wait’ll duk duk and chocobot and lulu the tiger and lil pink puppy see  - 




hey hey! where did everybuddy come from so fast?? 




hee hee, just remember, no touchies just lookies… boy, if only dad was as fast as u guys are when the cake comes out. o wait i think i finally hear him! 




hee hee , happy birthday 2 me! :) 

back to school :)

hee hee, look everybuddy! there goes the school bus!!

i sure am glad we pooled the last of our summer gummy worms to buy a parking pass.  i usually do not look forward to the first day of school, but today is a whole different story now that we can pedal to school every day ourselves!

what's that, lulu the tiger? 

oh yeah, i guess it is time to get this show on the road. commencing pre-pedal checklist ops number 3758delta9ner for the inaugural mission of pedalcraft HMP JamiahBunnyCakesPootenpenny!

okay everbuddy just like we rehearsed...

  
 

 




duk duk, homemade locker stink pucks?

lil pink puppy, thermoses?

lulu the tiger, lunchy lunch boxes?

chocobot, pencils and notebook paper?



okay houston, i think we are a go...everyone hold tight and get ready to pedal off in 

three...two...one...blast o-

..um, houston, could somebuddy open the door please? :) :)

ready..set..

dear diary,

hooray! today me, duk duk, chocobot, lulu the tiger, and lil pink puppy all have special permission to stay home from school because guess what - we are going to help mom load a fresh new litter of teeny tiny doxie treasure boxes to etsy! and this time, not only is it a double litter of sixteen boxes total, but some are nakey nakey, and some wear bowties,  and some wear flowers,  and some are even playing with a supercool ballie this time!  yup, i know, it is very exciting, isn't it? i cannot wait to help them find new forever homes!

anyhoo, me and duk duk and chocobot and lulu the tiger and lil pink puppy have not yet decided on how we post the listings but if i have my way, we will be posting eight as we finish them during the day and then save the last eight for posting all at once at 8pm EST. or something like that.  it really depends on how much gumption we have, and we will try to sound the doot doot dooty doots via our instagram and facebook and twitter as best we can.

well diary, i best get on with my morning paw stretches because already i can tell i have a lot of typing ahead of me.  i hope u have a wondeful day!!

toodley-doo!
b. :)

PS - the boxes all usually show up in a special section of my shop but I cannot provide you the link yet because nothing is in the section yet!  so here is a link my shop just so u have it :)  ---> https://www.etsy.com/shop/kalyxcraftopia
 

hello hello :)

 

Today, just a little skype-y hello from two happy little munchkins, both anxious to be with their respective moms again.

 i am so glad we got to talk again today and oh, mom, can u please bring me home a snackie? and maybe one for lulu to take back when she goes home, so that way i do not have to share...okay, lulu, now it is your turn to say hello to your mom. but make it snappy bcuz i need to say nitey nite to my mom and then we can play princess ponypup with chocobot n lil pink puppy. :)

a lulu lookback :)

It has been a few years now since the little kielbasa and I started this blog.  As with so many things I never imagined would happen, I never imagined we would be here, mourning the passing and celebrating the life of a little friend whom we would not have met where it not for this world we created.  Today, just a few pictures of Lulu, some new, some old, but all I can assure you, cherished for the perfect foil to Baxter's unusual happy go lucky lifestyle, and for happiness and love she brought to us all. :)

the tiger sleeps tonight :)

wow, duk duk, for a tiger he sure is friendly.  yeah,  i cannot  believe he does not have home yet either.  i guess that is why he let us catch him.  tigers are usually pretty tricky when they are not eating their frosty flakes.  it is too bad we are going to have to untie him and let him go.  mom said we already foofie too much and unless mister tiger starts to learn english and eats less meat and more grain, well, let's just say every day is going to be stinko de mayo around here and we already have to beg mom just to celebrate it one day a -

...year.  but..tee hee, that tickles a little! well, i suppose we could ask her anyway and maybe he could come to school with us to learn non-foofieous forms of communication..oooh dat's nice...
(bup fweet buh squeeEEEeeeEEEEE)..and maybe if we promise mom to always do our chores without being reminded, and that  we will not play guess whose foofie inside anymore...

only, there is already a mister tiger at school.  we probably need to find u a new name...

 oh i know! (mister tiger, floot ploopy pssssssseeeoooo pip foofa foof eeeeooop. buh blap blappy puht puht , lulu?) 

hee hee, he said it would be an honor!  okay, lulu the tiger, not only are you our new friend, but every time we say your name,  we can also remember old ones too!  (blap blap buh squeeEEEEEEeeeEeeoo!)  ♥ :) :)

field trip

Our tiny trio took a field trip this past weekend, visiting the super cool design-your-own fabric and print-on-demand mecca of Spoonflower, where as you might have guessed, we got to see fabrics being printed, treated, and cut for shipment to places far and near.













Tiny chumley of course, was hardly impressed with this  portion of our field trip, but he did enjoy our next stop at his little friend lulu's home, where it was fun to catch up and play...

...and then invade her toybox :)

o that was fun mom! next time we go to lulu's i think we can totally have a toyfriend clu-- um, a toyfriend meeting, dontchoo!! :) :)

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!

baxter and duk duk's motel park n bark complimentary dinner theater: captain arrr-eo and princess poopiet

okay mario, we will be right back! me n our other guest lulu, whom u have already met from last time you stayed at the motel park n bark, just have to put on our costumes and the worldwide premiere of me n duk duk's new play, "the pirate, the princess, the dragon, and plenty of snackies - a play in three courses as told by one very awesome and very hungry pirate", will begin in five minutes! in the meanwhile, please enjoy this bugs bunny cartoon that we will play for u on the ipad and if duk duk can get u a pre-play apooperitif or some fancy cheezy poof n salmon kibble poop d'ouvres, just let him know, okay?? okay, we will be right back. 

oh, and hee hee, do not poop anywhere i would not poop! which u know, really means u can poop practically anywhere here at the motel park n bark, especially when it is wet outside.  although, i see you would be pooping in your own bowl  of water so maybe that is not the best idea if u want to see our play clearly.  so maybe if i were u i would hold it.  or skip the cheezy poof n salmon kibble poop d-ouvres, cuz, they're tasty going in thru the front but mighty wicked on the back end if u know what i mean.   

okay,  c u in a few minutes!!

say what? but lulu,  what do u mean u do not want to be the princess in our premier pirate princess dragon and plenty of snackies play for mario?  i am supposed to be the pirate because i am a boy and i have way more experience.  well, okay, i would have more experience f it wasn't so hot this summer and mom would not let me n duk duk go pirate the seven seas.  and besides, we just told our very important guest that our play will be on in five minutes and this is the world wide premiere and everyone knows princesses are always girls and ... oh pleeeeeze play the princess, wontchoo? just look at all the wonderful things chocobot and lil pink puppy made for the princess to wear!

sigh. okay, u r the guest and the show must go on. let's get dressed and go see mario...

"but soft, what stink thru yonder window wafts? it is my poop, and this hungry pirate has come to take me and my dragon away..."  :)

the scooby pact

 thank u for snuggling with me, scooby doo. and remember u promised in exchange for two mugs of monkey chow nog and three of my scooby snacks that u would not tell lulu about this and a promise is a promise bcuz she will be checking into the motel park n bark any minute now and even though i miss mom very much, i still want lulu to have a very good time during her stay.  cooties n all.   

get crafty: shiny happy little loafy bags :)

dear diary,
there is still much I want to learn about playing with Magic cards , but one thing i do know, somehow these bags that I helped my mom make yesterday will be very useful.  or at least that is what my uncle dana says because he asked us to make them for him and his magic playing friends so they could hold a pen and some dice and, well, extra bubble gum and i guess all the other stuff u need to play magic except the cards of course, and so we did! make them I mean.  and I am very excited because not only are they cool and use some of fabric samples that lulu's mom gave us (thank u again miss elizabeth! and a very u don't stink too bad for a girl hello to lulu too!) . oh but i was saying, so not only are the bags we made cool but they are loafy shaped, u know, just like me.  so that way uncle dana and his friends can think of me even if i cannot be there to learn how to play! 

anyhoo, i might ask mom if we can make one or two extra to take to school because me and duk duk have always wanted to save our tater tots from lunch and eat them later like Napoleon Dynamite does butchoo know since we are not allowed to wear pants we certainly cannot wear our pants with pockets  and so these little loafy would be very helpful for that if u know what i mean.  mmm tater tots.

toodleydoo and have a wonderful weekend!
