Teddy Talk: Creating, Collecting, Connecting

Sonya, they are so adorable. I didn't know Yorkies had docked tails, either. The fur is so long and fluffy, guess I just figured they had a tail in there somewhere. So, so cute and I can't wait to see more as they grow.

Oh what wonderful news and beautiful pictures. They look such chubby babies and strong enough to be sure they get breakfast.

I count 4 red, one black and one red/brown and white in the bottom picture. One little guy must be at the bottom of the pile.      So cute. I love Cleo's face looking up at you holding the pup. More pictures welcome any time.

:crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:

I agree...no problem with pin in the cacti because they are all prickly with sharp points anyway but I think I would keep the bear beside me to chat with while I sew.

Oh, Wendy, what an awful thing. I'm so glad your cousin is ok.  :hug:  :hug:
There's just no making sense of something so awful. Such a painful tragedy.

So cute. I love that little bear but I wouldn't be able to put pin in him at all. He is awfully cute looking up at you.

Boy, you've been busy! I like this little guy, too.

What a cute set.

Oh, they are both so cute. But I'll have to give some thought to a name after I've looked at his picture a while.

Greenbeary

...love the name. I do family genealogy and Greenberry was a common man's name in the 19th century.

Very cute...not a care in the world.

:dance:  :dance:  :dance:  I can't wait to see your Wheaten. I love Wheatens. A few years ago at the Palm Springs Dog Show (every January) I had the sweetest Wheaten rush up to greet me with hugs and kisses like he'd known me all my life.

We haven't attended the last couple of years, but it's just so much fun to go walk around and see all the various breeds and get a feel for their personality. I think attending this show several times widened my appreciation of all breeds. And most owners/breeders/handlers/groomers are eager to share their breed's characteristics and let you pet them while they're waiting their turn in the ring.

But I just love all dogs...Can't wait to see your Wheaten.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Losing a child is the most terrible kind of loss for a parent and the grief process is a very long road. I certainly will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. :hug:  :hug:  :hug:

Woo-Hoo... :dance:  :dance:  :dance:   Your last e-mail to her must have been a doozie. She seemed to have had a miraculous epiphany all of a sudden as to the "wisdom of compromise...time to put this behind you..."

She was trying to intimidate you, but she didn't know you have nearly a thousand TT-ers behind you. I am sorry that you've had this awful experience and you had your weekend disrupted but you can sleep well tonight. When will you know if she has actually refunded your money?

And best of all...the issue  really is behind you now.

:hug:  :hug:

Karen, this is a really interesting question that I've never given much thought before. I have some Scottie stuff sitting around, but I don't buy every Scottie thing I see. We couldn't find a Scottie calender for 2007 so we have a great English Bulldog calendar in our office and I just love it.

And, did anyone see the Sunday Parade today with an add from the Danbury Mint. Oh, it's so cute...a Christmas tree being decorated with and by a bunch of English Bulldogs. They're just all over the place and it's just adorable...I want it.

I'm not a cat person and I wasn't around cats while growing up and I don't know why, but I've always been afraid of cats. But I have to tell you, Karen, that you and Krista have made me see cats in a whole new way and I love your cats and Krista's cats and dogs.

I think most people who love dogs, just love dogs period.  Breeders or show people would probably stick to their own breed. So many people have rescue animals these days, I think people would generally love whatever you created...breed specific or mut.  There are people who love dogs who would collect just because it's a dog...kinda like we all love bears, all kinds of bears.

I know your dogs would be great and I would love to see what you'd come up with. I just love your cats and I really hope you do follow through and give your clients a chance to see what you produce.  Please...

She's adorable. No wonder that she was adopted quickly.
I love the little bee...so cute.

Is that a yoga position or is she just stretching before her jog?
She's a cutie.

Jodi:  Me, too, but I've only had my airbrush a couple of years...still intimidating though. I made a couple of really sorry efforts. I hope Judi's next scheduled class will help.

What a cute little guy. Lucky you.

:dance:  :dance:  :dance:  :dance:

How great is that!!! A big congratulations to you guys and thanks to Shelli for taking the time to share with us before going to dinner.

Oh Daisy is totally humiliated! You wounded her pride, poor baby.

I quite agree, Louise. I've decided that when  :crackup:  :crackup:  I win the lottery and they ask how I'm going to spend the money I'm going to say BUY TEDDY BEARS from all my friends at TT! If I have any left over I might share it with the kids.

I agree with Michelle...I love this thread and love seeing everyones sweet companions. Keep posting. Everyday while I'm checking I think I should get a current pic of my three but by the time I'm finished here I have forgotten about it til the next day.

Jodi...do you never stop   :crackup:  :crackup:

Jane, I just don't know what to say. She's really a piece of work and by the sound of her post to you it sounds like this is her way of doing business. I can't believe she's been given good feedback, because with her attitude, you know this isn't the first time this has happened...she's checked.  Call me cynical, but I don't think this was a "mistake" on her part.

She's not even trying to meet you half way. It seems to me she's saying as long as she posts a picture and calls it mink instead of rabbit...well, it's your fault. I don't do ebay so I really don't have any advice; I don't know their policies...but I would be inclined to file a complaint. Maybe you could file a complaint...leave a fair and honest feedback and they try selling it on ebay yourself...

This little guy is so small, he needs to take his bath in the sink. I do look forward to your special picture posts every day. They always bring a smile.

Jane, great wheels! I didn't know you were unable to go out unassisted so this must really give you a wonderful feeling of independence. I see you even have a rear view mirror (do you know it's on the wrong side?  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup: ) so you can keep an eye out for the bobbies (isn't that what you call them?). More speeding tickets are given to red vehicles...at least in the states...than any other color...so watch yourself.
