On Strike!

Dori has decided to go on strike as far as being cute for photos. She is demanding more belly rubs and cookies.

Blognapped!!

Dori says she never gets any attention at home. In fact she thinks all the other animals steal her spotlight!
This is Sug checking out her temporary home. She comes to visit a couple of times a year. It is always fun to have another small one around!

Duckie and the Beanstalk: Finale!

DON'T CRY PRINCESS! IT'S OK, REALLY! I KINDA LIKE BEING TALLER - I CAN SEE MORE FROM HERE! Ducklin was sincere in his words. As an adventurer this opened a lot more possibilities for him - and he was a lot less likely to get eaten while he was out and about!
The princess lifted her head and looked at her subject. Slowly she began to grin. If you ever come back down to the castle, I have just the task for you, too!
Tynee and Ducklin both looked at her in question.
Nope, not saying. Lets just leave it that there is something I think you would be uniquely suited for.  Her smile grew as she began plotting in her mind. I think you will be happy here - and maybe we will come back for a visit as well! Just don't try on any more strange clothing!
The trio's laughter filled the hall and the others joined in. Everything was ok again in Dori's realm - at least for now...

THE END!

Gotta Try the Tie!

TAKE IT OFF? OF COURSE I TRIED! IT SEEMS A BIT STUCK THOUGH. The indignation in Ducklin's quack quickly turned to chagrin.
Well then! Let's all give it a try and see if we can get it unstuck and you ungianted! Dori hoped maybe if everyone worked together it would help.
Everyone took a place and grabbed on.
The puullleed. And the tuggggeedd. And Ducklin held his breath and thought small thoughts with all his might.
But the bowtie refused to be removed.
Oh, Ducklin! Princess Dori cried. It just isn't moving! You... you may have to stay a giant forever!

Bowtie!!?

A bowtie. You grew when you put on a bowtie.
Dori couldn't hold back the giggle. After traveling so far and seeing so much the cause of the journey was a BOWTIE?!
She snickered. Then giggled again. And finally just gave in and rolled on the ground with a good old belly laugh.
Have you even thought of taking the darn thing off?

Ducklin and the Beanstalk: What??!

But that doesn't explain how you changed size like this! C'mon, what exactly happened? Dori was wanting to make sure she avoided the same fate!
AFTER THE OTHERS WOKE UP WE EXPLORED SOME MORE. WE FINALLY CAME TO A ROOM FILLED WITH TABLES OF FOOD!
It was the food, wasn't it! Tynee blurted out. He was quite proud of thinking of the answer.
UMM....NO, THE FOOD WAS GOOD. BUT THERE WAS A GLOWING PUDDLE BY THE WINDOW THAT I SLIPPED IN...
And that turned you big? Dori asked.
NOT REALLY. WHEN I SLIPPED I LANDED IN A SPIDERWEB.
And it bit you!?
NOPE. I JUST GOT WEB ALL OVER ME. I WENT TO CLEAN UP AND SAW THIS NIFTY BOWTIE. I TRIED IT ON AND SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF THIS SIZE!

Duckie and the Beanstalk: Ducklin's Tale

WELL, I CLIMBED THE VINE...
Ducklin went on to relate his adventures. He had worked his way through the halls and tunnels to the room with the strange instrument. There he had found the other ducks asleep and the music began to lull him to slumber as well.
What happened? Dori asked. Obviously you woke up somehow!
ACTUALLY, I NEVER SLEPT. I TRIPPED AND LANDED ON THE STRINGS - STOPPING THE MUSIC ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO GET OUT.
Dori and Tynee chuckled at that. Ducklin was known for tripping over his own webbed feet.

Fee, Fi, Foe... Ducklin?

HERE I AM!! I AM SO GLAD YOU FOUND ME!!
Princess Dori watched as a new duck arrived. This was the largest duck she had ever seen! And he was so loud! She flattened her ears a little at the booming quacks as he greeted the other ducks that had proceeded him.
Glad to meet you, as well. Princesses were almost always polite, especially when meeting the supposed Lord of this strange place. Would you perhaps know of the whereabouts of our friend Ducklin? He would be about the size of half your foot I believe.
PRINCESS, DON'T YOU RECOGNIZE ME? I AM DUCKLIN!
You? But... but.... Tynee pushed his way forward. If you are Ducklin - prove it! What is the one thing you are afraid of?
The large duck looked around to see if any of the others were near. He attempted to whisper - an attempt which did not quite work, however.
BALLOONS. THEY JUST FREAK ME OUT.
It's him! I mean it's you!! But what on earth happened!?

Duckie Parade!

The sound of many webbed feet filled the room. Dori looked over to see that the strange instrument had settled itself back in the corner where they had found it. The steps grew closer and suddenly she could see them.
Ducks!! But what kind of ducks were these? There were tall ones, thin ones, some with odd colors, and even one that looked like it had fur instead of feathers!
Tynee waddled over to them. Ducklin isn't here, Princess, he called over to her.
I AM ON THE WAY! a voice thundered in response.

Duckie and the Beanstalk: Who is that!?

DO NOT SLEEP! MOVE!!
I know that voice! Tynee wake up!
Princess Dori started to look around. Who was that hidden speaker?

Monday, August 6, 2012

Awake!

That voice! It sounded somewhat familiar!
Dori opened her eyes and looked around for the source...

Duckie and the Beanstalk:Naptime!


It was very odd. When Princess Dori moved to another part of the room, the strange contraption followed her! Soft music began playing. A rhythmical lulling tune that seemed just slightly familiar - like hearing a song you haven't heard since childhood and aren't quite sure if it is the same.
She found herself nodding, her eyes seeming to close on their own.
Jus' a lil' nap, she yawned. Tynee didn't hear her - he was already curled up in a little snoring ball of feathers.
Just as Dori was about to close her eyes completely a voice broke through the song.
STOP!!

Thursday, August 2, 2012

What is this??

The duo continued onward. Room after room, hall after hall. It was a veritable maze of a building! Eventually they came to a room with an odd wooden contraption laying on the floor.
What is this? asked Tynee as he hopped up on it.
Dori looked at it closely, circling around it carefully. I am not sure - be careful, Tynee!

Tynee to the rescue!

Perhaps I can help, Princess? came a familiar voice from behind her.
Tynee!! she exclaimed. I am so glad to see you!
Well, after seeing you deal with those snakes I knew I could as well! They aren't as bad as I thought! They don't eat ducks, at least that is what they told me!
Tynee then squeezed through the bars and dragged the key over to Dori. Together they managed to get the gate open.
You are one amazing duckie! Princess Dori said once they moved on.
