Vickey, I would love to see pictures of Teddy. It is funny that you named him that because I tell my husband all the time that Pepper reminds me of a big teddy bear. Pepper is our cockapoo. He is also buff in color.. He has 4 cats to play with and a larger brother who is the same age (Bandit) who is a lab/pitt mix. I wish I could give you tips on the eyes. Pepper tears the same way and he looks awful. I clean his face every day and I clean it when he gets baths. How often do you bathe Teddy? Does he have skin problems? Pepper does. His are so severe that they want us to go see a dermatologist. Pepper didn't have any problems with losing teeth. We were finding one every other day for awhile there. I think him and Bandit have most of their adult teeth now. Do you have to take Teddy for grooming or do you do your own at home. Up until last week, we were under the impression that Pepper was a cocker spaniel. We had kept him groomed until the skin issues took over and we were banned from the groomer. When his hair grew out, it was clear that something was not right. I looked up cockapoo and found my pepper on the screen. It is still sad for me that he isn't a cocker spaniel, but we love him so much. He even sleeps with us. Anyway, since I can't have him groomed I am learning to clip him at home with scissors. I trim in his ears, around them, I trim his feet and around them too. I trim all the hair off his face but let just alittle hang down, and I trim his "beard" on his chin. He has such a cute fluffy face. His curls on top of his head are so sweet. I would love to see pictures of Teddy, so I hope you get some put up soon.

He is adorable. He's in love with his tennis ball! Loves to play with the 2 cats and his big sis, Harlee, our german shepard. I was wondering if anyone has tips on how to keep the eye area clear from stains. He does not like having his face washed..but it happens often...lol! Also, has anyone had a slow teether. He is having problems losing his baby teeth. Some permanents are coming in, but baby teeth aren't falling out. Vet said he was a slow teether when I had him in for his neuter around 6 months. I'm thinking he may have to have them pulled, but was hoping not. I will upload a photo soon. I have enjoyed everyones pics and stories. Vickey and the gang
