Reply #16: Teddy de Lovely... shelty mix.. some golden retriever way back..

[sam sarrha]

he was a starving stray puppy about 2 months old that kept getting into a movie set while they were filming.. he originally was named Eddie de Lovely, after a character in the movie.. but my wife didn't like the charctor..so she changed it...

he is one of those Happy dogs.. smiles real big a lot, he sorta looks like the tog in the Bingo movies only smaller and more shelty.

he is so full of love.. when you are sick he wont leave your side, he lays beside you with his paw over your chest, and worries so. he has a little brother Linus, a toy poodle, built like a barrel, they are attached at the hip.

one day Linus has the rawhide bone.. chewing manically on the bed.. teddy walks up to the door and looks at him for about a minute, he turns around and goes over to their toy box.. and looks and looks at the toys.. he gets a green tennis ball and and sneaks quietly into the bedroom tippy toes around to the other side and every so stealthy climbs up on the bed.. while Linus is mindlessly chewing away at the bone.. he stalks up behind him and turns his head to the side and Throws the ball out the door!! with a quick flip!! before the ball bounces the the 3rd time Linus is off the bed and has it.. he is strutting back and as he gets to the doorway he sees teddy laying in his place chewing on the bone and his jaw drops and the ball falls and bounces on the floor in realization he has been had again..

this is the never ending "I want the bone" game.. another time linus is asleep beside my wife in her chair.. with the bone right in front of his nose.. where he fell asleep from exhaustion from fiercely chewing on it.. Teddy walks up and looks at the bone with his nose about 6 inches from it for a while.. he goes over to the toy box and looks and looks and finally gets a small squeaky toy. he comes back and sneaks up and puts the squeaky toy by the bone and then ever sooooo slowly picks up the bone and tippy toes about 6 feet away then breaks into a strutting swagger.. like he really got away with something big..

they are a constant source of entertainment and love.

we call him our Buddha Dog, he is such a teacher of unconditional love and patience.
