MY PALS: Teddy

* * *  COUNTDOWN:  17 DAYS TO LA/XC-2  * * *

Lots of times I’ve heard Robby say that, next to me, Teddy’s his favorite dog.  Teddy’s a yellow Lab, and Robby used to pet him all the time when he was watching football games with his friend Ryan.  You might think this would make me jealous, but actually, I like Teddy, too.  He’s a really cool dog.  Likes to sleep a lot — a dog after my own heart.  He belongs to a family with three teenagers who are all jocks — Kate, Ryan, and Owen.  Sort of like my family, except that two of my teenagers are 31 and 28.  Also, he lives right across the street from the dog park.  How convenient is that? And check out his shades.  He’s even got his own Facebook page — Teddy Burke.  He’s really proud of it.  Hey, that’s great Teddy.  Did I tell you I write my own blog?
