My daughter is coming home this weekend with her new beau. He is a gorgeous southern guy and a marine. Just the sweetest guy you could ever meet. They were here 2 weeks ago and I promised him if he came back, I would make him gumbo. So, this whole week I am working on the gumbo and making him lots of his favorite foods to take back to the base. I will post all of the food when I am done but meanwhile, I will be doing some Teddy posts. Someone asked me yesterday if I had any baby pictures of Teddy. I've posted these before but I didn't think it would hurt to post them again.
When we first got her, she would run around like crazy constantly and then just drop and fall fast asleep. After a quick nap she was up and on the go again.
When she was just a few months old, we drove all the way to Cape Breton with her. Here she is in Nova Scotia.
We actually tried to kennel train her in the beginning. She did just fine but it broke my heart to see her in the cage so we stopped. This was a BIG mistake. I don't know how I am going to keep Teddy away from the marine on Easter. She is going to want a piece of him!

kary and l'il teddy
Have a great day !!
Look, a gal's got to do what a gal's got to do. Explain to her that ALL men look good in uniform and get her a new chew toy.
Have a great day, now.
In the last picture she has that "Aw, Mama, pleeazee let me out look on her furry face!
Maybe if "the Marine" threw her a few clams to break the ice....it might help!
Great share!
Blessings!
Jaz I so would love to learn about making gumbo .I'm not even quite sure what it is , I'm thinking a stew thing ? so hope there will be photos but on the other hand if you are visting & cooking all at the same time you may not have time to take pics and post , but do hope it may happen ;-)
Thanks a bunch for all your yumminess and of course for sharing Teddy with all of us ☺
Joyce! What are you thinking? You are cooking enough for him to take back food, too? Those Marines are going to be begging him to come and visit every weekend, or they will be fighting over who gets to show up on your doorstep!! You've opened up a whole new can of worms!! (I say this laughing!!) I'm picturing a whole table full of strapping guys, with you putting dish after dish of delectable food on the table. .I don't know who will be happier. .you or the Marines.
Explain to Julia Chow that he is the reason that she has gotten to do extra clean up duty this week. .that you were making extra yummy treats for this nice man, and she had the honor of helping you. .knowing that she could possibly get more samplings in the future, she will welcome him with open paws, and a closed mouth!
Good luck with the visit - I am sure he will love everything you make.
