Aside from the trauma of hot-spots and major orthopedic surgery, she's been low maintenance. Although she requires a lot of exercise, the amount has diminished with her age. That's OK, my capacity has diminished with age too!
She was born on March 6th, 2008 and was part of a small litter of four. There was only one boy -- and Teddy was bigger than he was. I believe there might be a cow in her line (or possibly a pig if you go by her appetite). Teddy is one of the dumbest dogs I know, but she is also one of the sweetest. What she lack in brains, she makes up for in enthusiasm. If Teddy had a slogan, it would be "I demand impunity!"
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
Awww. Happy Birthday to Teddy!
ReplyDeleteShe says thanks, and can you convince her mom to get her a kitty for her birthday?
DeleteHappy birthday, Teddy! What kind of dog is she?
ReplyDeleteThank you! She is a golden retriever. We keep her hair clipped because of the hot spots so people sometimes think she is a yellow lab. She is very blond for a GRT, which is why I call her my "dumb blond!"
DeleteHappy Birthday, Teddy!

Thank you Jx! She had a happy day.
DeleteLove that beast. Too cute for words.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, sometimes I call her my "Beastie Girl" because the soundtrack to her life could easily be a Beastie Boys rap.
DeleteHappy birthday, Teddy! I'm so glad to know you, and remember when you first came home with your mommy and daddy.
ReplyDeleteYou've been with us a long time Jeannie! I know you remember her bad-girl puppy days. You've given me some good doggy feedback too -- we are glad to share the day with you!
DeleteHappy Birthday Teddy! I miss our goldies so much.
ReplyDeleteBecause of our age and her size, she will probably be our last goldie. I wish I'd gotten one years ago. They are larger than life dogs and as sweet as they come.
DeleteHappy Birthday Teddy! I thought Golden Retrievers were among the intelligent dogs. I love dogs. I travel a lot and I live in a small apartment so, I cannot imagine having a dog companion. One day, I hope.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, gorgeous gal! xxx
