dapper doxie duds: kirby hepburn sedgwick

dear diary,
yippee! didjoo ever have one of those days where u wake up and wonder if u r ever going to get a chance to wear your wig again because teacher told u not to bring it to school anymore even though u were very good and did everything she said and even cleaned her erasers for her? well lucky for me, mom finished kirby's dud yesterday and since her mom described kirby as one part edie sedgwick and one part audrey hepburn, well u know what i just had to do when it came time to model  kirby's hepburn-sedgwick inspired dud.  although boo hoo mom would not let me borrow a sharpie like i wanted to so i could have duk duk draw a beauty mark on me.

anyhoo here is a peekypoo at kirby's dud.  it has cross woven two toned silk pleated trim and freshwater pearls n everything! mehopes kirby likes it!!

well i must go and draw the costume i want mom to make me for halloween so i must say bye bye for now and talk to u tomorrow! :)

toodley-doo,

dapper doxie duds: olive the buzzy bee

Hooray, today a peekypoo at a cheery little dud I just finished for sweet mini Olive, who regularly checks in on the bees that her mom keeps.  So what's more fitting than a bee inspired dud? One that's made from dyed cashmere and plaid woolen and bound in black sateen and embellished with measuring tape ribbon and a little bee charm.  And a felted ball antennae cap for the days when she's feeling extra buzzy.

 whooo, mom, antennae! bzzzzz. bzzzz. when i am done helping u model olive's dud, can we start making something for me? i have lots and lots of ideas! bzzzzzz.

not yet baby dog, but soon my little friend!

bzzzzzzzzippeeee! :)

the front door

mom, what do u mean lulu is going home today?? lil pink puppy was going 2 take her to show n tell 2morrow and chocobot and she are going to play bridge with his friends on wednesday and duk duk n me already cast her in our next play as the amazing xena princess warrior and u know if she does not do it i will have to and we haven't even gone thru the chik-fil-a drive thru yet or anything!

wait...does this mean i do not have 2 share you or dad or my snackies anymore? bye bye lulu! mom says u were a wonderful guest. come again i had a great time and hope u did too! let me help u with your crate butchoo can totally leave your extra kibble if u want.  don't forget your blankie and be sure to blog me. bye bye! 

mom, can we snuggle on the sofa now, justchoo n me?  :)

- baxter, 4.8 years old,  suffering from singular sofa snuggle withdrawal and an apparent lapse in manners.  (hee hee -  lulu, u really were a sweet little houseguest! :) )

snackies in the park

dear diary,
yippee skippee it was such a nice day out yesterday that not only did i get to show lulu the pet store where mom and dad get my kibble, but we went for a nice long walkie in a park that I have never been to before and we had a really swell time.

now, diary, it is only six o'clock in the evening as i write this because i wanted to finish before 2nite's pupjama party starts so i cannot tell u yet how much fun we had after our park walkies and pet store visit but i can tell u that while we were gone duk duk and chocobot went to the game store to pick up a certain wii that was being repaired on account of u know who spilling monkey chow milkshake all over it and yeah u know what we will be doing 2nite - minus the monkey chow milkshakes that is.

anyhoo, with any luck by the time u r reading this we will be on level 1956493 of scooby doo n shaggy's super haunted magic mystery bus adventures so if u need anything, it might have to wait until after we walk thru the hall of golden arches and find the magic key of mystery.

toodley-doo!

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!

just remember, it's byopjs (bring your own pup jammies) and there will be no mooshy yucky kissy kissin or anything like so of course it's going 2 be fun fun fun!

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!

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. :)

- 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. :)
