Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Dear Laura,  I haven't had time lately to do more than lurk occassionally, but I'm so glad that I had a quick look today.

Soak in all the time you have left with Isis and don't forget to make happy memories.

Luv and hugs from 'Cane Whippet' and me,

Hi Daphne,

Just arrived home from judging trips to Japan and India and thought I'd catch up on TT.

I still do dogs and I have made special orders for people who want a copy of their own pet.

Dear Marie,
I'm so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Jane, I'm so happy for you...Way to go GIRL :dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

OMG, I'm in love.  I can't believe how beautiful they are    

I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing on 'Sky'    

Not another one.....I've just put the tissue box away.

I was shocked and sad to read of Winney's passing.    Such a wise and witty lady.  My prayers go out to Larry and her family and friends.

Sorry I'm so late posting but I've been busy getting ready for a Dog Show (At least I didn't have to make stock or stuff or sew.......just trim and feed)     

My new baby, Rett the Pug, had his first serious show and did his mama proud.  At only 71/2 mths of age he won reserve of breed, over multi Best in Show winners and 6 big winning champions.  It was soooo close the judge took what seemed like forever to decide between the 2 dogs and little 'Rett man' showed like a pro the whole time.....and then the judge said he's just a bit young.....but WHAT a puppy!!

Anyhoo, here he is...

OMG how awful.....I KNOW I shouldn't laugh......I just can't help it....I guess after breeding and living with Dobermans for over 35 years I WOULDN"T HAVE LEFT THEM ALONE WITH FLUFFIES....and I can visualise chasing them trying to get 'bits' out of their mouths.....I've done it.....shoes.....cushions.....socks..... undies.....etc,etc,etc.

Dear Daphne, Please know that I'm thinking of you and your family.  The 'girls' are right when they say to look after yourself, as well.

Nancy,  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug: coming your way

My good news is...I've got a new arrival...a 6 month old Pug puppy.  He is bred by the friend that I show in partnership with and was going to live with her, as the others do, but this little boy decided he was mine.  Named 'Aimhi Keepn Secrets' or Rett to his friends, he was only meant to stay with me for a few days so I could do a little training, because everyone knows I would never live with a pug, I don't want another dog, and all those other excuses,  but he had other thoughts and when he went back to Patricia's for 1 night, while I went away judging, he fretted and cried until I arrived.  So as you can see I had no choice.....AND I LOVE HIM TO BITS.

Dearest Daphne and Henry,
Please know that I'll be sending thoughts and prayers your way.

:hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:        back to you, Jane

Hope you're feeling better soon Kim.  What a bummer about the medications.

Dearest Jane, Hugs and prayers galore for you and yours. :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :hug:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:  :pray:

Way to go Daphne, do you get to walk the red carpet at the premiere?   :photo:

Hi Tania,
Just be a little careful as it depends on whether it is a 1/8 yard or 1/8 metre.  It's easy for us 'antipodian' girls to fall into this trap.  I can get an 11 inch bear out of 1/8 metre, but only 9 or 10 inch out of 1/8 yard.

Oh Daphne, big hugs and prayers to you and yours.  As Dilu says, try not to let this time just fly by but try to soak in as much as possible. :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Ok, Here goes...
Pretty Woman
Steel Magnolias
Moulin Rouge (I love Ewan)
Star Wars
Awakenings
Good will Hunting
The Castle and The Dish(Who goes there?...Baaaa)
Brigadoon
Grease

We're all still waiting, and hoping the miner's homecoming will be today.  I was lucky enough to be dog judging in a town close to the tragedy last weekend and was dining at the local pub when 'locals' came running thru the door screaming
"they're alive".  I can't describe the celebrations and euphoria of the town.  I can only wonder at the strength and determination of the rescue teams, who after 13 days must be exhausted.

Then to hear about little Sophie.  I think the whole country gasped.  She is still in a critical but stable condition this morning...we're all praying for this brave little girl.

I haven't seen the article, as it takes a few months for the magazine to arrive in 'Oz', but in addition to venting our opinions on this forum, we should tell TB&F how we feel.  I, for one, wouldn't feel good about advertising in a mag that promoted the use of wild animals in this way....maybe others feel the same about buying magazines that do this, but we need to point out the advantages to them in being responsible in reporting the news and that, probably thru their ignorance, they have upset and angered a proportion of their target market.

Happy Birthday EVERYONE :cake:  :bday:  :cake:  :bday:  :cake:

Urgh, you guys make me laugh, even if I don't want to right now.  I'm 'in the wars' myself...accidently rammed a fork between my thumb and thumbnail while I was cooking dinner last night...naturally its my right hand too, so I can't sew.
