You may remember me
mentioning that I had a new companion to play with - Teddy. He was perfect until earlier in the year when
he and I went to stay with one of my girlfriends for a few days while the Boss
& Mrs went on holiday without me! My
newest girlfriend insisted on investigating the innards of my teddy. By the time I managed to retrieve him she had
destroyed his beauty, removing his glass eyes and instigated an
appendectomy.
She was eventually
forgiven as she was only young at the time and not in complete control of her
exuberance but it rankled with the Mrs who was not keen on continuously viewing
a discombobulated teddy. The Mrs was
also perturbed by some of his insides floating around the house, so eventually she took it upon herself to find some soft velvet material to heal teddy’s hurts and return him to his dignified
status. Hence “Bandit Teddy”
evolved and I can play with him again knowing that I can be his guide-dog and
his insides are safely contained and not spilling out during our games...
Since this amazing recuperative
needlework the floodgates have opened with the Boss suggesting the Mrs could
perhaps resurrect some of his old socks with a bit of darning or turn a few
collars on his favourite work shirts – to my knowledge these items have been
discretely removed from his wardrobe with a quiet comment on the unlikelihood
of this ever happening. I blame
Teddy! .....
In this photo I have his foot
secured in my soft mouth with my paw holding down his leg so that he cannot
escape. Since wearing his Zorro mask he
has become a bit of a rogue so I have to keep an eye on him to make sure he
doesn’t wander off and also to protect him from marauding girlfriends…
