Long weekend here in Ontario. The weather is lovely and not too hot, so I let Teddy run around outside. He’s so white and puffy that sometimes he can be like a little cloud with a face.
Check out the rest of the set on Flickr.
It was a long weekend and dad brought home extra wood so we decided to build Teddy a house.
All assembled:
We decided to paint it:
Also, if you love Teddy as much as I do, he has his own tumblr now at: teddydoggy.tumblr.com.
I finally had a dog that I could bring to Woofstock, so this was my first year. People and dogs of all types showed up. Dogs in dresses, dogs in strollers, dogs in purses. It was a day for your pup to be spoiled. Booths sold everything from modern dog houses, couches and other strange things. Here are some photos I managed to snap.
This dog looks like a lion:
Teddy got really tired so we had to carry him around. Look this painting kind of looks like him!
Teddy wasn’t very impressed we made him do this:
Someone dyed their poodles hair…
This is Teddy’s potential sibling. They were born on the same day!
Man, these dog cookies and donuts look so good I want to eat them!
Last Friday, was my little bichon poodle’s first birthday. We got him a mini Happy birthday pie and a party hat. The pie was made out of organic ingredients, and it smelt like something that could be edible by humans. Here are some photos we took of our spoiled little puppy.
This is Teddy glaring at us for putting a hat on him:
Yesterday I was taking Teddy for a walk, and he started limping. We carried him home, took him to the vet. While we were waiting for the results from his x-rays, I was shaking. I was scared that I may have pulled too hard and broke a bone. Luckily, it was nothing serious. He is just as playful as ever.
I haven’t uploaded a photo-set in a while. The weather here has been amazing and we let Teddy run around the yard. He loves it as you can tell by the expression on his face. I bet you it’s hard to look at these photos without smiling.
To fall in love at first sight is something that happens a lot in movies and TV but not something I really thought about in real life. To reflect back on myself though, I do believe it has happened. No, I am not talking about how I met Nash (that’s a much different story). This is about how we ended up with Teddy.
The day we decided on a dog was pretty random; serendipity even. Our parents have denied us from having dogs and cats as pets for years. Mom used the excuse that she was allergic. However somehow (i still can’t really describe how to this day), we talked mom into allowing us to get a hypoallergenic cat. Yes, we had begun the search looking for a cat. Me and my sister browsed the cats on Kijiji for a while but then something enticed us to look at puppies. And there it was, 6 hypoallergeneic bichon poodle puppies.
All were adorable but it was one specific photo we were drawn to and had fallen head over heels for:
We called up the owner of the ad and within an hour had driven across town to see all 6 puppies in his backyard. We had wanted a male puppy and chose the most active and friendly from the litter. 5 months later, Teddy is now part of the family.
I had not noticed this until I recently found photos of the original listing on mom’s computer. We had chosen the exact same puppy we had seen online. The one we had fallen in love with on the Kijiji ad was the same one we would take home an hour later. Serendipity or not, we had fallen in love at first sight and we were destined to meet Teddy.
He may come back all muddy, eat our slippers, paw at us for food but we could not ask for any other puppy.
Cats have taken over the internet for too long. It’s time for dogs to take over. Let’s start with my bichon puppy Teddy. He just got neutered so there’s a cone stuck on his head for a bit. He’s his normal active self after a day and here’s a video of Teddy attempting to play with ball with a cone on his head.
