Teddy

 

Chief Yappiness Officer
 

Teddy's life is a whirlwind of excitement and cuddles! When she's not on the prowl for squirrels, rabbits, birds, or even the occasional armadillo and deer (yes, she's a bit of a tomboy), she's indulging in her favorite sweet potato treats. Her days are filled with high-energy rough housing with Ray Roy (who's always the reluctant participant) and endless playtime with her toys.
