heads and tails

With the recent rains having stirred up so many things for two little dachshunds to investigate in the backyard yesterday,  I hardly could catch a glimpse of anything other than little sniffing heads and waggy tails wandering one way or the other, crisscrossing about til finally it was time to go back inside and rest, and wait for Baxter's appointment with the tushie man. :o

A special PS - methinks some homies may have missed out on B's little budgety 2012 desk calendar so I set up a preorder listing in Etsy for anyone interested in reserving theirs from my next order which should be available in early November. So if you are interested in getting a happy little gifty to keep or give this holiday season, just clicky clicky here, but hurry if u want to be included, cuz the little kielbasa will be placing his order on October 20th :)

kitty perch built for two

Two tuckered tushies spent a little quiet time on the kitty perch yesterday afternoon, recharging after a rather wakey wakey pupjama party night and happy bark-ophonous morning.

mom, can u please wake us up from our kitty naps if u see the snackie man and his truck coming?  i so want 2 get everybuddy some fresh n fishy pupcakes for our twister party 2nite! :)

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!

carpe doxem

Four little paws did their very best to climb the stairs of the jungle gym the other day, though I'm not exactly sure why tiny chumley took it upon himself to scramble up so high with such derring do.  Maybe he knew it would rain this week, and that he would spend yesterday quietly snoozing under cover of blankie in his car seat while we ran errands, listening to the gentle rain drip drip drop on the roof of the car, while he happily dreamed of all the fun he had in the sun.  :)

trouble bubble

why no, teacher, i did not lose my copy of romeo and juliet.  why do u ask?

baxter, 4.8 years old, after turning in  his book report .

book report

dear diary,
yippee, mom n dad took me to the nature park yesterday and it was super fun! butchoo know what? we got home kind of late and wouldn'tchoo know that our netflix was acting up so i could not watch the romeo n juliet movie that i was counting on to 2 watch so i could do my book report? so then duk duk thought maybe we could find something else 2 watch instead that might be close but then lil pink puppy would not give up the tv remote and when i finally got a hold of it the remote was stuck and the channels kept changing back and forth and there wasn't much time left before bedtime so i watched what i could and, well, if i do say so myself,  i think i did a very good job with my book report and i bet teacher will not notice at all that i did not read romeo n juliet.  especially since i wrote my report in pen and included some drawings - methinks i will get extra credit for that too!

anyhoo, i must go and find a nice plastic binder for my report so i can turn it in today, but i thought i would share a copy of it here 4 u diary, cuz i know u would want to read my masterpiece.  i hope u r having a wonderful monday!!

toodley-doo!
b. :) :)

short story long

dear diary,
so diary, u know how lil pink puppy spilled a monkey chow milkshake all over our wii and how it went kablooey shortly thereafter and how we kinda left it in the laundry room to dry since it was rainy out all that week and how we sorta got in trouble cuz we didn't tell mom and after a week the laundry room smelled like we played a guess whose foofie game in there even though we didn't but we were playing that game only we were playing upstairs and then mom  sniffed us out and us to stop but our wii was still all crusty and kablooey? well after we decided to pool together all the glitter and kibble and worms that we were saving from our flaming headless pumpkin robot project, we finally had enough to take the wii to the fixit shop, and so it is still there and we could not play with the wii this weekend and so me and duk duk decided to ask mom if she would buy us a unicycle and two helmets and after she said no and after we asked her if duk duk could use her sewing machine to make parachutes for lil pink puppy and chocobot while i set up the diving board off the deck and after she said no to that, well, i guess asking mom if i could go down the slide at the playground didn't seem like such a big deal. and so u guessed it - i did! with a little help from my mom of course.  but next time methinks i will bring scooby doo cuz he would be much more super slidey slipperiffic and then i could just ride him down like a surfboard and then mom could even take pictures! 

anyhoo, diary, today i have to study for my vocabulary quiz and write a book report on a book i have not read yet.  and u know what that means.  i sure hope they have romeo n juliet on netflix!

toodley-doo!

chewbaxtah

i bring u sticky sticky, but me chewy chewy!
- baxter, 4.8 years old, on describing yesterday's fetch and chew playbreak. :)

cute is all u need :)

I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, but there are some days I've noticed when it seems the little kielbasa wakes up with an extra helping of fuzzy faced cuteness.  When he wakes up, quietly radiating a sunshiney glow,  that draws me to him like a moth to light. 

For tiny chumley, I am sure to him it is just another day.  But for me, I am lost in wonderland. Captivated by cuteness, and charmed by his innocence and optimism. Beguiled his velvety soft ears and pinkety pink belly, and his little short legs and long, sausagey body.

Please, baby dog, roll on over.  There's a tummy I need to rub.  :)



  

dapper doxie duds: jasper the friendly pup's playduds and retro gent duds

Yippee, today a peekypoo at the happy little pair of duds I finished yesterday for Jasper, whose mom knew that all work and no play makes Jasper a dull boy.  Which is why methinks her special little boy not only will have a nice new dapper retro happy little gent dud complete with removable vintage silk bowtie, but also a cheery owl dud made from fabric picked especially by his mom for her sweet little boy, all in colors that will complement his light and lovely complexion.

tiny chumley, of course, was happy to help model Jasper's duds, working for his usual little itty bitty smidgens of snackies until his nose found out he could do better.

wooty hoo! wooty hoo! look at me i'm an owl! wooty hoo! hey wait...
is that a snackie i smell? in a snackie pocket??

baby dog, you can only look right now.  we have to take pictures.



ooookay mom....

.....but maybe just...one....lick. :)

migration theory

o mister turtle,
is it warm where u are now?
say hi to the birds. 


- baxter, 4.8 years old, on having not seen  he not seen mister turtle for weeks, and wondering if turtles migrate south on the backs of birds for the winter. :)

pup in boots

mom says it is too muddy for me to go outside and dig, but i say, can somebuddy help me put on my boots so i can go out n play? :)

- baxter, 4.8 years old, on making do with the temporary changes to his yard now that the lawn has been reseeded.

a boy and his george

Baxter's little heater friend George made his first appearance of the season yesterday, humming quietly on lo while tiny chumley abandoned his kitty perch in favor of George's newly formed tropical microclimate.

mom, promise me you'll wake me up if see somebuddy walking by that needs barking at, okay?? my baby friend asked as he nestled into his bed.

Of course, I said with a wink as pulled a down blankie gently over his sausagey body. :)

so happy 2 c u!

Tiny chumley is a often blurry kong toy carrying rocket when we return home from errands and he has been left home alone.  Racing down to first greet me then circling back to get his kong toy and the goodbye snackie he apparently saved to eat when we came back. 

wheeeeeeeeee! everybody's home! everybody's home!  wheeeeeeee! his happy little wiggly body will then declare as lucky charms and clovers and bits of fairy dust stir up in his wake, til finally he collides into me and we catch up on all the kisses and hugs that we missed for having been apart in his mind for so very long.

mom did u know i barked at three dogs while u were gone? and i saw not one but two squirrels running across the street?  and didjoo know that the mail lady drives away whether u bark at her or not?  but i barked at her anyway just to make sure she knew i saw her.  and didjoo get me anything? and may i have another snackie? not my kibble but a really fishy snackie u know?oh where's duk duk? i think he was reading upstairs. u want i should get him and we can all snuggle on the sofa together? 

Why yes babydog, I'll tell him as I get back up to dry myself off from our rather licky conversation.

Home, I am always reminded,  is where the wiener dog is. :)

it's not my birthday so i'll poot if i want to

Yippee! Even though IKEA has yet to restock the shelving I so desperately need to make the makey life a little easier,  it's been a crafty week.  Today, a peekypoo at a very special birthday hat that Ammo's mom commissioned for her amazing little boy . Can u say birthday party? 

ooo, mom! ammo's birthday is really soon. do u think they need monkey chow milkshakes for it?  cuz methinks if i start making them now duk duk can fly it up just in time to play pin the foofies on the puppy!! :)

Well baby dog, I'm not sure everybuddy likes to play that game but you can always wish him a happy birthday.


oooh, okay! happy happy birthday soon ammo!! :)

dapper doxie duds: blues clues

Hello! My name is Baxter your roving reporter reporting to u today after wrapping up my modelling shoot for my mom's latest dapper doxie dud for my friend and Annie's new chocolatey dapple brother Blue.  Pardon the voiceover, cuz I am still a little nakey cuz mom hasn't put my collar back on. But in the meanwhile I thought U might enjoy seeing what Blue looks like.  Blue was adopted back in March but he was so skinny that his mom decided he needed a little fattening up before my mom made him his dud, and lo and behold he is just perfect now and now he has his very own dud!

Mom says his duds were made with neckties from all sorts of different decades, going as far back as the 50s and 60s and 70s and 80s and into the present.  I say, I think this will look swell on Blue, dontchoo?

Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed my report as much as I am enjoying my itty bitty snackie! This is Baxter your Roving Rover Reporter wishing U a very happy happy Thursday!! :)

i remember

Rain fell gently outside when we read the news.

mom... will i ever see twix again? i didn't even get to say goodbye.

Well babydog.  I think so.

and maggie? and jeeves?

Yes, babydog.  You will see them, too.  But hopefully, that won't be for a very very very long time.

but if i won't see them for a very very very long time, how can i make sure i will still know them when i see them?

Well babydog, I suppose you'll have to find a way to keep them in your heart and  remember all of them.

oooooh...... you know,  teacher said if we say things out loud it will help us remember.  do you think that might work, mom?

Why yes, baby dog, I think that's a very good start.

i remember digger and kep and padua. and i remember jeeves.  and  i remember maggie  and  miss edith and allie and lulu's dad mister tom. and i remember twix. 

they might be giants

Yeah, somebuddy needed a bath after stumbling across this great find in our backyard.   but mooooom, i still haven't figured out what's down there yet. what if there are trolls down there, or monsters???
