Picture overload today. Goodness knows I’m in trouble when I have kids. The number of photos I take of Teddy is borderline embarrassing. I just think he’s the cutest pup in the world and I’m not sure how we got so lucky. Adorable, snuggly, playful, obedient. Everything you could want for in a pet.
When I look back at my first few months with Teddy (remember how hard it was??), I never in a million years could have imagined the impact he’d have on my life. I’m thankful that I can work from home and see him out of the corner of my eye all day. Leaving him behind while we’re in Alaska is terrible for my heart.
(With that being said, we have the BEST caretakers for Teddy. They love him like their own and you should see how excited Teddy gets when he knows he’s going for a visit. And I know he has the best time ever because when he comes home it takes him three days to sleep off all the fun, ha! Email me if you’d like the name– happy to share!)
I’ve received a few requests to share Teddy’s favorite toys. In full disclosure, I’ve never bought Teddy any toys. He is quite the popular dog on Instagram so companies send him a bunch of stuff and he’s an influencer (lol) for PetBox so we get those boxes every month. We LOVE PetBox. Using “Teddy10” checkout gets you 10% off. It’s a great way to try out treats and toys and if you have a dog you know how quickly toys get destroyed.
The favorites I’m going to share, however, are really his favorites. While he gets a ton in the mail, it’s quickly obvious which ones are “keepers” and which ones go to the neighbors in our building.
Smart n Tasty Seafood Medley Treats | Teddy isn’t a big fan of treats. At all. I think there’s something wrong with him because he doesn’t go crazy for them. These little fish treats are his favorites though. They came in one of the PetBoxes and we’ve since repurchased. I think they stink (I mean, they’re dog treats) but Teddy will actually eat it versus burying/hiding it in the couch like he does with other treats.
Chuck It Frisbee | A friend gave this to Teddy and I have to say, I don’t know why we didn’t get him a frisbee sooner. So much fun. He’s playing with this in the pictures above.
Squeak and Chic Chew Toy | When Teddy was gifted this for the event we did with Bendel’s I was just counting down the minutes before it was destroyed. But this little bone has seriously held up beautiful. The material is quite durable and even the squeak still works. It’s fun to throw around indoors.
Nylabone Wishbone | Nylabone sent Teddy a whole bunch of bones and treats. This is the one that he loved the best though. He can kind of grip the bottom part with his paws to hold up for him to chew the other side. If I’m in the middle of a work project and he starts begging for attention, this is what I give him. Keeps him occupied and happy!
Bunny | This is BY FAR Teddy’s favorites. It’s not technically a dog toy, but he doesn’t let Bunny leave his side. He even grabs Bunny before being lifted into the bed at night. The best is when you say, “Teddy, go get Bunny!” and he runs through the apartment until he finds and retrieves him.
Crazy Critter Duck | This is a close second in terms of Teddy’s favorite soft toy. We can tell him to “go get Duck” and he’ll bring him to us.
Collapsible Water Bowl | Not really a toy but this thing is great. There are so many water bottles around the parks so we just fill it up and keep it nearby wherever we end up!
Does your dog have any favorite toys?

What about the Hurley toy by West Paw? Lou, a toy poodle 1.5 yo, also has his version of Bunny just like Teddy! Lou also jump up and down with his stuffed animal when he wants to be put on the bed. Too cute!
Omg those pictures of him with his frisbee!! He looks SO happy!! Pets definitely enrich our lives. <3

Thank you so much for sharing Teddy's toys!
We just got a goldendoodle, and I wanted to know some tried & tested toys that dogs really enjoy (Some you buy and they end just sitting on the floor not getting much use). Thanks so much for the post! 🙂
Teddy is such a cutie; and my cat loves this feather stick we have for her– she literally carries it around everywhere just like Teddy with Bunny haha. Granted, she doesn't get if we tell her too, she is a cat after all haha, but it is still so cute to see her sleep with it and drag it around.
