Hey everyone, it’s Teddy and before I begin, just wanted you to know Tina is taking a few days off from the blog to prepare for a party ( but her Seven on Sunday will appear so have no fear). You know her and details…don’t even ask! She thanks everyone for their support and patience as\u00a0 the new site has launched, she is so relieved and loves it. There will be inevitable small things here and there to work on but she is “on it”. Be sure if you haven’t already to take a look around especially at the much improved shop site.<\/p>\n

Now onto me, I think most of you know me well. I am also affectionately sometimes known as\u00a0 Tina’s sidekick and basically the one who “keeps her in check”. Yes that is me, the one who wines and dines on my own blue and white china, gets to taste test everything she makes and the one who rolls my eyes every time she comes in the door carrying\u00a0 more new things from her shop. That is called keeping it real and keeping her in check!<\/p>\n

I mean, really- how much blue and white does one need? Maybe I am asking the wrong audience that:) Then again, who am I to judge because I cannot imagine NOT dining on my blue and white bowls. They make even plain old dog food feel like an epicurean delight! And I must admit living in a house with a lot of blue and white is awfully pretty.<\/p>\n

Anyway though she occasionally features me leading my life of leisure, I thought it was way overdue for me to be front and center and get my well deserved 15 min of fame, what do you think? Want to see a day in the life of Teddy? Well if you don’t this post may not be for you but if you do, hope you enjoy this!<\/p>\n

I will be the first to tell you, I am an old man, 12 and a half years young which is pretty darn old for a Golden so though I have slowed down, I still make a point to enjoy the good life when I can. Viva la dolce vita!!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pool lounging:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sometimes you just want to get away from the cameras here I am hiding in the woods, can’t they take a hint!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Waiting for my next snack:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes I even become a snowbunny in winter, I am a good sport!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And you bet I am patriotic, just check me out in my American flag bandanna<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I take my lounging time and\u00a0 quiet moments seriously:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And this is my little corner that I call home, love it here because the windows are really low and allow me to scope things out without moving a muscle…and can you believe those blue and white dishes (given as a generous gift by Tina’s cusotmer\/reader) ! Stay tuned, Tina has some in the works for delivery mid to late August<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Sunbathing after a dip<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And yes I do get into the holidays…..though not always by choice, but I am a good sport!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Enjoying a sunny day by the pool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My brother and I , isn’t he handsome and such a great friend to me:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I give new meaning to splendor in the grass<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every now and then I confess I sneak into the family room and steal a nap on this comfy sofa, its so comfy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is my version of\u00a0 a smile:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Got this mega bone from my moms friend, known as the Preppy Empty Nester..who by the way is now my long distance girlfriend:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not to brag but someone thought I was so handsome she painted this unbelievable painting of yours truly! What a talent (but then again she has a great subject)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Always take my afternoon siesta….and really can you just stop with the cameras!<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And\u00a0 to show you that I am all about four seasons, check me out enjoying the great outdoors during the last snowstorm of 2017<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not to brag, but I must say I am quite a dapper looking old fella-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Should I stay or should I go?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Doing what I do best, chilling in the grass<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Goodbye friends until next time, have people to see and places to go…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And that’s a wrap. This sure was fun, I just may need to come back here and fill you in on my life another time. This old dog still has some party animal left in him yet:) I plan on getting some rest over the next two days so I can be sure to enjoy a little bit of the party on Sat. Best part is always all the leftovers, I am practically salivating just thinking of it now!<\/p>\n

Any way thank you for stopping by and hope you all have a great day and end to your week. Tina will be back in the saddle on Sunday with her Seven on Sunday post. Hope you enjoyed this little break from design, blue and white and all that jazz.<\/p>\n
