my teddy girl is two!

my teddy girl turned two a week ago and has officially entered "doghood," although, she will always be my puppy.

M & i are pretty lucky to have her.  she's there to love us in whatever condition she finds us, eager to play, explore, be a goof and the best dog we could ask for.  teddy entertains us just by being her, she's one of a kind, the best kind.

as everyone knows, i say the word "teddy" more than any other (including the, is & a).  i was a little sad to hit another birthday, visions of her six weeks old, running and falling through the seemingly tall summer grass get me choked up.  it feels like yesterday.  

but then i think of all the many memories we've already made in her young life and i realize she's lived such a full two years, and therefore, so have i.

and yes, i know she's a dog.  but like betty white says about animals, i find i relate to teddy better than most humans (not including all of you, of course!).  

all i can do is thank the pup for being wonderful and putting up with me!  time for a walk:)
