Ted received two presents this weekend!
During her trip to Scotland, OPH e-mailed me saying that she found “the cutest postcard … mostly for Ted.” Of course, I passed along our address, and sure enough, an adorable Westie postcard showed up over the weekend! I love how dignified they look in their native Tartan colors and how the one on the right has his head cocked at an angle in quintessential terrier style. Maybe appealing to Ted’s heritage is the avenue to take en route to Happy Costume Land…
While I was hanging around JG’s team’s volleyball tournament on Saturday, I took a side trip to visit some family friends, Clint and Colleen, who still live in JG’s hometown. More specifically, I went to visit their Westie, Roxy. Several years ago, we went to Clint and Colleen’s house for a function, and a younger and more sprightly Roxy bounded over to me to be petted. She was and is incredibly sweet, and she will go down in history as the first dog I ever liked. Despite myself, I also fell for their new dog, Romeo, a long-haired chihuahua, who was so affectionate and non-yippy that I couldn’t help but snuggle all six pounds of him.
I made small talk with Clint and Colleen while the dogs fought over a toy, and Colleen asked me if Ted had ever tried a Long Bone (Longbone?), the much-desired toy. Apparently, seven-year-old Roxy loves these bones, and she has never had to have her teeth cleaned because she chews it so much. Not only that, she never chews furniture or household items! Sign me up! Where can I get one?
Oh, no, Colleen did not let me leave the house without two of the bones, and they have completely lived up to the hype. My internet searches are coming up short, so I am not sure what the toy is made of, but it appears to be some sort of chewy rawhide-type material. Regardless, Ted loves it. It is his Precious.
For any other kindhearted souls out there, Ted loves getting mail and chew toys! Oh, and uh, Swedish fish and cute stationery, too…

From the picture it looks like it is just a rawhide stick, and if that is the case you can get them at the grocery store in the dog food aisle, or of course petco or whatever pet store you have local.
I’m very curious about these “long bones.” Sierra is a fan of bully sticks, but they are expensive and stinky, so she hasn’t gotten any lately. She could use a new chew bone that lasts longer than give minutes. Let me know if you get the scoop on where to find them, or what they’re officially called.
If I had come across any of those little doggie tartans, I’m sure I would not have been able to resist buying one! They are too adorable.
Ted is so lucky, getting bones and postcards!
Good luck with your race tomorrow!
Ted totally NEEDS a tartan vest for the fall.
How veddy sneaky of you to also note that Ted loves to receive Swedish Fish and cute paper in the mail too. Kind of coincidental since YOU also like to receive these items, hmmm? HA! GOTCHA!!! You are not match for the mental powers of………ZEISTER! (I might be up late doing work. And I might be getting a little tired.)
