🐾 A little update from Eddie & Buddy 🐾
Afternoon, lovely weagleholics! Eddie and Buddy here, reporting for duty (well, Eddie is reporting for duty if there's a biscuit involved, and Buddy is reporting his dissatisfaction with pretty much everything as usual).
We thought it was about time we popped on to let you know what's happening with Mum and the weagles, as she's been a wee bit quiet and we know some of you might be wondering what's going on.
Now, before anyone panics, Mum is absolutely fine! She's just got her head firmly buried in the sand at the moment, trying to work out how to keep Weagles going without ending up suffering from a serious case of weagle burnout!
Apparently, she's lost her creative mojo. We've tried Googling it, but honestly, we couldn't find a picture of it anywhere. Eddie thinks it might be hiding in the treat cupboard, but that's hardly helpful when he's already eaten everything in there. 🙄
You see, what started out as a fun little hobby, making our adorable Fimo weagles to raise money for beagles in need, has somehow grown into what feels like a second full-time job for Mum. And while she absolutely loves what she does and adores this amazing community, even the most dedicated human needs to put her paws up occasionally.
So, to give Mum's head and hands the rest they desperately need, here's the plan going forward:
🐾 Buddy's Bonus Ball Bonanza will return for November, but after that, we're taking a little break from making until the New Year. November and December are what Mum calls silly season in her other job (the one that pays for us to live the lifestyle we've become accustomed to, including keeping our treat cupboard fully stocked). Apparently, everyone wants their feet sorted for Christmas parties, and Mum's days are already pretty full!
🌻 February will see 1 last special fundraiser using some of the money accumulated through previous Bonus Balls to help support some of the amazing beagle charities we've been lucky enough to work with.
🐾 Looking further ahead, we're scaling things back. Mum still wants to support the wonderful rescues and charities we all know and love, but there won't be any big fundraising events on the page next year, and Buddy's Bonus Ball Bonanzas will be hanging up their lucky numbers for good.
(We did try to tell Buddy that his Bonus Ball events were giving Mum a headache, but he just grumbled and demanded his dinner. Typical.)
There will still be plenty of weagle love, just at a gentler pace, with more time for Mum to enjoy creating rather than feeling she has to constantly be making something new.
And that's really what this is all about. Mum wants Weagles to go back to being the hobby she fell in love with, rather than something that leaves her feeling overwhelmed. She hopes you'll understand that sometimes stepping back is the best way to keep doing something you love.
❤️ A little bit of exciting news before we go!
Paws crossed, we'll have a Win a Weagle Wednesday next week.
The winner will be announced from all those lovely people who donated towards Chip's care. We'll keep you posted!
And just when Mum thought she was going to have a nice, peaceful rest, along comes another of the lovely rescues we've helped before, needing a wee bit of emergency support.
Luckily, Mum has two sunflower 🌻 weagles tucked away for just such an occasion, so keep your eyes peeled for details!
Honestly, we don't know why she bothers trying to have a rest. 😂
Finally, from all three of us, thank you. ❤️
To every single person who has liked, shared, commented, donated, bought a weagle or simply cheered us on, you have helped make Weagles what it is today. Together, we've made a real difference to so many beagles who needed a helping paw, and that's something Mum is incredibly proud of.
This isn't goodbye, it's just a wee breather. We hope you'll stick around, enjoy the occasional bit of beagle nonsense and continue being the wonderful community you've always been.
Now, if you'll excuse us, Eddie has just heard the treat cupboard opening, and Buddy is complaining that this update has taken far too long and dinner is late.
Lots of love and sloppy beagle kisses,
Eddie & Buddy 🐾❤️
