About Teddy

This is Teddy, the little Pomapoo. Poma (pomeranian) and Poo (poodle). Teddy's dad was a pomeranian and his mom was a poodle. You can see that Teddy has little teeth that stick out on the bottom - he is so cute!

Teddy's Dad's name is Copper and his mom's name is Tabasco.

We adopted Teddy from a very nice family - his Dad (Teddy's Dad) lived a few doors down. We didn't meet the dad, but the owners of his Mom (Teddy's Mom) said that they could make a quick phone call and Teddy's dad would come running to their door for us to meet him. This is true.

When we were trying to decide whether to adopt Teddy or his brother, who was a lot smaller and seemed a little demonic, Teddy went running behind the couch. The little boy in the family evidently liked Teddy and didn't want to see him leave, so he shouted, "Chubby! Don't come out!" (the family had given Teddy the temporary name of Chubby).

This kind of became a family dog joke of ours. I think you had to be there, though.

Well, Teddy is also a very smart dog (see Toby, below). He is not even a year old and can already sit, lie down, and wave. He would be able to do hundreds more tricks, except we haven't taught him the rest at this point.

His favorite pal is William, our cat and they play together often, mostly chasing and hiding games.

Teddy loves to bark bark bark and his favorite crime is trying to escape the yard. Sometimes we can't figure out just how he did it, but we do have all kinds of interesting barricades at every possible opening. This makes it hard for the rest of us to enter and exit our yard, so we really don't use the back door much.

Teddy's birthday is May 30, so please stop by on that date and wish him a happy day. If you are a 'real person' out there reading this and you know where we live, please stop by for some birthday cake and bring your dog!

Today's Post is about my dog, Toby

Toby, the rat terrier, is 7 years old. We adopted him as a cute little puppy. We picked him out from a litter of puppies in a pen in someone's home. We had to pick him out really quickly because it smelled so bad in this house that we needed to get out in a hurry so we could resume breathing.

Toby is a pretty good dog - he's smart but he doesn't like to go on about it. He does a few tricks like sit, stay, beg, give paw, dance, lie down, roll on side, and crawl. He hates rabbits, squirrels, mice, birds and anything else that he could possibly catch and eat. When he was younger, he caught a bird in mid-air. Nowadays, he wouldn't be able to do that easily.

His best friend is little Teddy, the pomapoo. I'm sure I'll write about Teddy later. Toby doesn't care for William, his other room-mate pet. He would never admit it, but I can tell that he is terrified of William.

Toby's favorite crime is food-stealing and he does this at every opportunity.

His birthdate is June 18, which he shares with Paul McCartney. They are both Geminis.
