As the World Turns

Meet Theodore Edward Bear. He’s my dog, and we call him Teddy, or Theodore, or Dork, depending on the day. Teddy is a Samoyed, and Samoyeds are typically very loving, very intelligent, and very strong-minded. That is, they usually do exactly what they please; unless they happen to be in the mood to obey their owners. Teddy is about 50 pounds and about 2 feet tall at his shoulders. My daughter got the brilliant idea we would dress Ted up in dog pajamas for the Halloween parade. Ted loves my teen daughter, so he was fairly patient with the initial process. However, he became very fidgety and started trying to eat the pajamas during the parade! I guess that’s what you get for having a Sammy; sometimes they just can’t behave, no matter the situation.
