Hey everyone, sorry if it’s a little hard to see but I found these pictures of Teddy as a puppy and they are SO ADORABLE!!!!!! Hope you enjoy!
Awwwww!!! I was experimenting with ways to wear a scarf and wondered how Teddy would look with one on… I’m pretty sure he likes it!
As you can see in the sidebar, I’ve started a new poll section on this blog. Make sure and vote before the poll changes!!!
Wow, sorry I haven’t written in a while, but as you all know the holidays are a busy time of year! This Christmas Teddy got to spend time with his family, which includes his Shorkie half brother Presley (middle in the first picture, bottom in the second) and his honorary aunt, a purebred Shih Tzu named Lucy (farthest back in the first picture, middle in the second). Other than a few spats over food and toys ;-), Teddy had a great time with his doggy family. Hope you like the pics!
It’s December… and we all know what that means. When Fido comes in from the yard, he is no longer in the pristine condition you sent him out in. Oh, no. He’s covered from head to toe, er, paw, with mud and who knows what else. Bath time! This is how Teddy does his baths, and hopefully you can all take away a few tips from this!
Step 1: Get your dog wet. Always, always, ALWAYS use lukewarm water. Too hot, it burns your dog’s skin. Too cold, well… I’ve never met anyone, human or canine, who likes to take cold showers. Ick!
Step 2: Soap up! Adult human shampoo is too harsh on a dog’s skin, so make sure and use either dog shampoo or baby shampoo.
Step 3: Rinse!!! Kind of self explanatory, but this step is extra important because soap flakes left behind can cause itchy skin and dandruff.
(I know, same picture, but getting a dog wet and rinsing ARE technically the same thing.)
Step 4: Dry. Most people go for the vigorous rub with a towel, which is fine, but during colder months what I know Teddy loves can be another good thing to do: blow dry! If you choose to do this, make sure and keep it on a LOW setting, because too hot and, like hot water, it will burn your dog’s skin.
And that’s it! Your dog will be clean as a whistle… Until the next time he decides to go outside! 😉
Awwww…. Today was pretty wet out and someone didn’t like the thunder!
Word to the wise: Avoid leaving your pantry open! (Teddy wishes he could do this.)
Hey readers, this time we’ve got another pet birthday happening and its Bandit’s!!! (For my newer readers, Bandit is Teddy’s kitty cat “brother”.) Nothing big for Bandit, he’s more of a solitary kind of guy, but everyone make sure and wish him a happy 6th!
Wow! So sorry I haven’t given any updates, but it’s just been crazy busy around here, what with Halloween and company… I think this might be the first chance I’ve gotten to actually sit down! Here is the latest since my last post.
Halloween- Teddy did go as a little pumpkin, thanks to your votes, and definitely got a ton of “cuteness candy”. Gem didn’t go as anything, unfortunately, but had a great time barking at trick-or-treaters 🙂 Here’s a pic…
Gem/Teddy/Presley- I’m afraid I have some bad news on this one… We didn’t find out until the last minute that poor Presley had to stay home for his annual heartworm test! Don’t worry though, he’s perfectly fine. The bad news though is that he didn’t get to join Gem and Teddy here to complete the doggy trifecta.
That’s the latest here! Keep checking back for more!
