10 Honest Things About Me

My friend, Honey the Great Dane, gave me this Honest Scrap award which challenges me to name 10 honest things about myself. Hmmm...I'll give it a try!!

1. I like to have my teeth brushed at least twice a day. When I hear Mom brushing her teeth, I come running and wait for my turn.

2. Sometimes I don't pay attention and let my tongue stick out of my mouth. I guess it's not polite to do that, but people say it looks awfully cute.

3. I'm a part-time personal trainer. I wake Mom up early, and help her with her exercises by licking her face when she does situps and grabbing at her feet when she does leg lifts.

4. I make a high pitched whistle when I yawn that makes everyone laugh.

5. I like to steal socks and gloves and toss them around the house. It's fun stealing Kleenex too and tearing it up. I also like to play with my food and toss it in the air and throw it around the house.

6. I have parti-colored eyes, meaning they are different colors like blue and hazel. People tell me they are beautiful.

7. My nicknames are "Monkey" and "Teddy Bear".

8. Sometimes I like to sit back on my haunches and have Mom hold my hand. It makes me look like a little human, but that's OK.

9. I play rough with other doggies and like to hump their faces. Mom says it's embarrassing, but I think it's wonderful.

10. I trick Mom sometimes...OK, lots of times... by pretending to have to go outside when I just want to play. There is a bell on our door that I ring when I have to go pee-pee, but usually I ring it when I want to PLAY!!!


Mom's note: I took Teddy to his vet who said that the bald patch on his shoulder is just irritation from wearing his harness. We have a special spray to help heal up the spot and I've put a patch of moleskin on the harness strap to provide cushioning. That's good news! His vet also says he is a perfect weight even though he gets a cup of food per day which she says is a lot for his size, but he burns off the calories so it's OK.
