Won't Fit For Long!

 I'm almost finished this sweater for Teddy.

I just need to find appropriate buttons for the belly straps and get them sewn on.

But I don't know if he'll get much wear from it. 

The weather is just starting to get a bit cold here, 

and Teddy can't walk in places where other dogs may have roamed until he's had his next vaccinations 3 weeks from now.

By then he may have outgrown the sweater! 

While I was knitting it it seemed like it was going to be too large.

Teddy's First Hallowe'en

 Happy Hallowe'en everyone, from Li'l One-eyed Teddy!

This is his very first Hallowe'en, and he's a little bummed that he didn't get a costume to go out Trick-or-Treating. 

He figured costumes like "Cyclops", "Flying Purple People Eater", "Long John Silver" and "Mad Eye Moody" would be perfect for a uniquely handsome guy like himself.

But he is only a little over 12 weeks old and until he has been fully vaccinated it's not considered safe for him to be out and about where other dogs may have been.

Maybe next year Teddy. I know at least one neighbour who would be sure to have a little treat for you -- costume or not. 

Where Does a Teddy Sleep?

 Where does Teddy, our new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, sleep?

Officially? -- in his little kennel. At least that's where he sleeps at night and occasionally during the day when he feels so inclined.

But if everyone is downstairs and keeping an eye on him he also has a little bed there. 

He really appreciates sleeping on laps or cradled in someone's arms too.

And if a "walk" happens when he is sufficiently tired he'll sleep in a sling too. Today (cue ominous music) he wasn't sufficiently tired and the walk was no nap. For me it was more like wrestling with a 5 pound many toothed shark or a tiger! Next time I'll be bringing his teething ring just in case!
