a person in 60 photos teddy Ted working to get maximum sunshine couch-time. Took Ted for a walk around the block in the morning. While my parents hung out with Max... Max outside waiting for his gift. Teddy likes to have a wedged-head. Weirdo. Every night after Max goes to bed, Teddy all but leaps into Amy's arms. My turn for attention! The next day it was 70 degrees out! Crazy town! Misses being an only child. Teddy soliciting a much-needed belly rub. "They has kid now. Please touch me." Backyard explorin. Teddy is really excited about the backyard! On Monday afternoon, I said farewell to Max before headed to the train station. We say goodbye like ET by touching fingertips. Hahah. BING! See you next time, lil bud. Now that Max has arrived, Ted is second-fiddle and he'll even let me pet him now. Battjer family photo, October 2014! Nap time with Teddy! Got home to find these guys all... ...two wiener armrests. Lucky! ...and Brett and Amy came to stay with me for a couple days in New York! ...we said goodbye to my parents... Then we called the dogs over... ...down to south Jersey to spend Christmas with my family! Dad & Teddy after dinner. ...our hot dogs roasted in the sun. 830am view of the family. Brett with Teddy all tucked in. WieneRenion. HAS SEEN MY PEOPLE? Back at home that evening, dad cradled a dog-nugget! Wiener dog reunion! All dug out and headed home! It was great to have you guys, Merry Christmas! Houndstooth. Low-clearance dogs don't like snow. Amy juggled stacked wieners in the backseat! Pre-dinner holiday photo for my dad's holiday newsletter! After we'd finished our gift extravaganza, it was time to walk the hounds. Teddy had a friction burn on his paw from too much high-speed cornering on the carpet and we had to fashion a makeshift bandage for him. Haha. And Ted was excited to chase Maddy around the living room while making honking noises. Loves chasing. How chasing ends. Buds. Back at the homestead, the hounds were so excited to see us they celebrated by chasing each other around in a circle for 90 minutes. Maddy is faster than Teddy and it makes him FURIOUS! When we finally catches her he always administers... ...NECK BITE! And also dogs. Haha. Teddy and Maddy! KILL IT ON THE NECK! Wiener parade! Smoker's Bench. They also brought along their boxer Duke, who regarded the wieners suspiciously. I'm a dog, what are you guys? Brett and Amy drove up from Washington DC with THEIR wiener dog, Teddy! Three-wiener party! Adorable. Dinner time for Big Red! Teddy is a speed eater. On Saturday morning, we lazed around the apartment, caught up and got on our relaxation on. Tiny teeth! Yes, hello? Just doing some 'sploring. Brett, Ted and Mer. Amy with their full-size daschund, Teddy! We'd seen pictures of him for months but this was the first time we were meeting him and he was a little shy. Full-size lap-chicken!
