A Day In The Life of Teddy and Her Treats

This is the "time for a treat" look. It CAN NOT be ignored. Whenever I see this, my response is: Okay Teddy, treat time. Let's go get one. She knows only too well where her treats are kept. The are literally about 15 feet from right where she is sitting in this picture.


Notice the tail is down now. When chow chows lower their tails, it always means something is wrong. This lowered tail means Teddy is unhappy.


Why is Teddy unhappy at treat time? Because she has to walk into the house to get it. Chow Chows like to be waited on.


First she has to stop for a drink. I'm coming mama....hold on a second okay?


Come on Teddy...mama has your treat.


Notice how this is sort of the opposite of running and being excited.


Slowly I walk...step by step.....


Treat contact!


And an extra piece. Isn't this exactly how your dog acts when given a liver treat?


As I get ready for Halloween I was noticing how many things that are permanent fixtures in my abode actually look like Halloween props. I truly am surrounded by Halloween all year, intentional or not!


I mean, this piece is a bit scary.


The broom is always close at hand.


My witch cups are always on display.


Not sure what to say about this.


This etching hangs in my living room. A naked headless body going through a hula hoop with vines growing out of it is a bit strange.


Witch balls. Bet you didn't think witches had balls. We have BALLS baby!!! Big balls!!!


And the crows by the Celtic crosses keep watch over some seriously freaky etchings.

Come to think of it, I might not have much Halloween decorating to do!

That is one seriously freaky headless painting. Do you know the title or the artist? That is just too cool....

Peace,

I can´t say my dogs behaves like cute Teddy :-) They give high fives wether I want it or not and have big troubles sitting still :-) :-)


That broom is really beautiful and I came to think of druids when I saw the big cross and glass thingies standing on that bird cage, why I don´t know to be honest.

I do like the two ravens beside the beautiful celtic crosses!
Have a great day now!
Christer.

My chihuahua/pomeranian does the same thing with his tail but he adds the doe eyes to go with it and I'm lost.

I'm so amazed by your collections. You find the greatest things on your adventures.

That is a very serious looking broom you have in one of those pictures. Who rides it?

Your broom is so beautiful - almost to pretty to ride on.

I also love your witch cup and saucer.

hugs,

Wow I LOVE that broom, where did it come from?

Who couldn't resist that look?... but, Teddy, you must show just a touch more enthusiasm for a treat... must I send my Angel so she can show you how to twirl?... Jaz, I just bought an iron birdcage and turned it into a table... great minds... great minds... come visit when you can...

I'm new to your blog and I have to say it is my new favorite!! Your dog is adorable!
Cute Teddy! I must say my dogs are anything but slow when treats are doled out.
Love the birdcage - you have so many beautiful things.

I love the witch plates. Glad to hear Teddy grudgingly accepted her treats.

Your house is beautiful and so unique...like you ~..~ Those cups ARE kind of scary but for some reason I am drawn to them....like you apparently were. Have you ever told the story in your blog about why you are a witch and why you love Halloween so much? I think it's fascinating.....and I LOVE that broom and the witch balls are beautiful. Of course witches have balls and I am sure they are much bigger than some men I know!! Thanks for all the tips on cooking...I appreciate it. I just MAY make your baked ziti too! By the way....that Teddy is just so human! Love that dog. Now...my dog...who is a Jack Russell...does not act coy or quiet when I mention treat! He is jumping and flipping all over the place!

Funny... I was just thinking how I'd like my house to be Halloween-y all year round... ^-^

Teddy is so cute, I really enjoyed the adorable pictures of her. I still think she needs her own blog. :)

Since Mabon is right around the corner, any chance you could do a Mabon-themed post with recipes, decorations, etc.? Your collections, garden photos and decorations are truly inspiring! Keep up the great work!

I just can't get enough of your Teddy! My apologies though.....I think I referred to Miss Teddy as a "he/him"...my apologies to the cutest furry princess!

Love your home decor too!
