He’s so good at taking little breaks when he needs them. Just plunks down in some convenient shade. We should all be so good at listening to our bodies.

And god, I love that we’re now at 8:00 with the sun still out. Spectacular.

My dad bought Teddy this little cow toy while I was away this weekend and he was dog sitting and now it’s Teddy’s BAAAAAAAABY.

The baby gets picked up and carried around whenever Teddy moves around downstairs. In fact, if I ask him “where’s your baby?” he’ll pick it up and bring it over.

He’s not even squeaking it, just keeping it near him, and it’s precious.

Special day today for Teddy.

Happy Birthday, Theodore Reginald Garfield McDog

Look at this dork

Like any sophisticate, Teddy has cultivated a true appreciation for fine art

I blew through my birthday this year without posting about it — too much was happening in May — but it was excellent.

NFA flew down from Boston for the weekend, showing up at my door with these:

And remember when I posted on Sunday that I had to tell you about one of his presents, the one that made me tear up?

This is when I do that.

You know those clever cartoons I love and share all the time here? NFA reached out to Graham Annable aka Grickle @grickle14 and asked if he would make a special one for me.

And boy did he . . .

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

You guys know who that is, right?!

HANDSOME THEODORE!!!

It’s perfect.
