Hello! This is tierneycreates Beastie guest blogging for this post. If you are new to this blog here is my standard blurb:
My name is tierneycreates Beastie and I am a Monster, but the good kind of Monster. I was made by Helen of CrawCrafts Beasties in Dublin, Ireland. You can read my story at I’m A Monster!!!. You can also check out the other posts I’ve had to guest blog on (i.e. when the human Tierney falls off the blogging-wagon and I have to help) in the series of posts: Beastie Adventures.
Here I am at my latest makeshift desk writing this post for you on my Beastie laptop:
I am going to get to the news related to the title of this post, but first I need to talk about myself a bit, as that is what Beasties do.
You might notice in the photo above that I have a new dress! Well a shipment of goodies for me, likely purchased begrudgingly by the human Tierney, arrived a couple weeks ago from Dublin, Ireland, all made by my brilliant maker, Helen of CrawCrafts Beasties.
In addition to my new summer dress, there was also a scarf to match my hat I wear in the winter, a backpack, some books, Hop Monster IPA (I guess this is bottled in Dublin), and my new Beastnina Sewing Machine!!!! It looks just like Tierney’s Bernina sewing machine and now I can help her sew projects (because as slow as she is getting her projects done she obviously needs help).
Here I am hanging out in Tierney’s studio with my goodies with my dog Mikelet:
And because I know you can never tire of photos of me (and all my utter adorableness), here is a photo of me sporting my new backpack as I wait to get into Tierney’s car for our latest trip to the public library (one of our favorite places):
Inside the backpack I keep two important items: 1) my laptop; and 2) my Beastie library card!
I guess we could take a break talking about me and get to the story that connects to the title of this post: Mail Order Groom
The Mail Order Groom
Tierney now has her partner John that Mikelet (my dog), Mike (Tierney’s dog) and I live with. Well I wanted MY OWN PARTNER! So I asked Tierney to order from my maker Helen a “John Beastie”.
A couple weeks ago, along with all my goodies I shared earlier in this post, my new partner John Beastie arrived from Dublin, Ireland!
As I like to have as much the same as Tierney, I asked that John Beastie be a chef like human John (that is why he has on an apron just like the one John wears), and that he enjoys playing poker with his friends as one of his hobbies just like human John. So John Beastie came with a winning poker hand and chips (and his trusty cell phone). Additionally human John enjoys Bourbon and Whiskey tasting and loves to make homemade pasta so included with John Beastie is a bottle of Monsters Mark!
Tierney does not always take the best photos (and my paws are too small to handle taking photos with her smartphone so I have to leave it up to her) but what you cannot tell in the first photos of John Beastie, is he has a Colorado Avalanche Hockey team Bigfoot logo cap on his head:
This is human John’s favorite cap (he wears a lot of caps as his hair is missing, not sure where he left it…) and is a classic team logo cap/hat that is no longer sold by Colorado’s hockey team.
Here is human John with his cap that human Tierney suspects has grown into his scalp because he wears it so much!
My dog Mikelet (named after Tierney’s Miniature Schnauzer, Mike) took immediately to John Beastie just like real Mike is totally in love with human John.
Before I knew it, without asking, John Beastie was taking Mikelet for walks!
I am not sure why John Beastie is wearing his apron for walking Mikelet but he seems to like to always be ready to start cooking!
Since my dog really likes him, I decided to go ahead and accept John Beastie’s proposal (like Tierney did human John a couple months ago) for marriage. Luckily John Beastie arrived with two engagement rings.
Here we are – a happy family of Beasties!
Oh and if you’d like to see actual decent high quality photos of John Beastie, etc., check out our maker’s recent blog posts:
Monster Engagement Celebrations
Postscript
Tierney did not previously mention it on her blog but she did actually get engaged to human John earlier this year. Like John Beastie and me, they have no wedding date planned in the near future, they are just enjoying being engaged.
Human John proposed on the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. As it was winter, there we no concerts planned and the public was allowed to wander around the natural amphitheater and go to the stage (where many famous acts have played over the years).
I asked Tierney to share a couple photos with you from that day to close out this post (unfortunately she left me at home, but she did bring her dog Mike).

We’ve put Mikelet to bed and now John Beastie and I are off to enjoy our bottles of Hop Monster…
Those are the cutest crafts. I love all the tiny accessories. I have an obsession with miniature things so they definitely caught my eye.

I am so very pleased that you, tierneycreates Beastie, now have a partner, who can cook. What wonderful news. Now you have someone other than Mikelet to snuggle up to (I assume Beasties also like to cuddle?). Congratulations on your engagement. It’s the best news I’ve heard in a long time
