Cannon Beach

After losing 5 gorgeous days to unpacking, we decided to take Teddy (and Colin) to Cannon Beach for their first visit to the Pacific Ocean. 

In general, Teddy's not a huge fan of water. He wasn't too sure about the ocean, but we were able to walk him into a few inches of water before he threw on the brakes and looked for an escape route. Here are some pics and videos from our day at the beach.

Smelling/tasting the ocean breeze...

Doggy donut for the little guy.

Big smiles on the ride home.

And for those of you who were worried about Teddy adjusting back to apartment life...

Stop starring at my headgear!

Teddy had an incident and was bitten by another dog. He'll be OK, but until the punctures heal, he has to wear some headgear... it's really hard not to laugh at the little guy.

Buster isn't sure what to make of it...

Teddy (and Annie) get a surprise...

Thanks to mad-genius-mastermind Janis Barker, Annie and Teddy got a surprise on Friday night. They both thought I was still in Brooklyn, NY as they arrived at Grandma Barker's house in Medford, OR.

Nope... enjoy:

It just keeps snowing...

... And Teddy couldn't be happier. He has developed a weird habit though. When I throw a ball (or act like I've thrown a ball), he runs for a few paces and then starts to hop/bound like a Springbok. I'm not sure how easy it is to spot in a video, but it cracks me up every time.

Teddy: 1, Grr Toy: 0

Another exciting morning in Portland...

West Coast!

Teddy was a trooper and made the move to Portland pretty easily. He didn't bark when he was taken away at JFK, he didn't mess his crate over Montana, and he quickly became friends with the Buster, the family dog. He loves his new doggy daycare, and really has only developed one, tiny, horrible habit... he can't sleep past 5am.

Here are some pics and videos, to illustrate what Teddy's and his mom's mornings are like these days...
