So you may remember this photo? Well, Charley Chau had a photo competition, and guess who came runner up in the Most Fantastic Photo of a Charley Chau Bed?! That's right! This little cutie right here. I know runner up isn't exactly 'winning' but to me, this was one of the biggest victories. Is that a little sad? I mean, I loved the Charley Chau beds so much & the company, owners & their adorable dogs so much more, but this was just such an awarding experience so it's definitely a win in our books! Thanks Charley Chau! ♡
Since they have such beautiful bedding & I got a £25 voucher, of course I went shopping. And if you ordered in December, you got this free tote bag. And I am addicted to tote bags. They are totes adorable ;P (see what I did there?). So here is what I got!
I love love love personalised notes that are handwritten. And look at that face! I have two of these note cards now & I have stuck them up on my wall because they're just so adorable. The tote also came in this beautiful little box. I just love that they go above & beyond with the packaging & the service & just everything in general, so even if the products are a little pricey, not to mention shipping, it's so worth it! And the quality... ♡♡♡
Since Teddy already has a snuggly bed kind of thing, I thought I'd go for a day bed this time. It's a little more casual & more portable, so maybe keeping it downstairs & also using it in the car as well would be nice. And the print! Ahhhhh! So cute!! It's called Man's Best Friend, and isn't that just so fitting?! Swoooooon.
Here are a few photos of Teddy posing for the camera. She's a natural. And she reached 100 followers already on Instagram so if you haven't checked it out yet, please do and to those who already have, thank you!
I honestly cannot get enough of this girl. She's got quite the personality - cheeky, a little naughty at times (my poor arms & toes!), super hyper but infinitely cute. My cousins and I have been going a little dog & Instagram crazy, so check out Teddy's Instagram again if you wanna see some pics of them. We're thinking of going to the dog park or maybe even to the beach so stay tuned for a lot more cuteness overload.
I'd love to hear your dog stories since I'm in crazy dog lady mode so please leave some entertaining anecdotes down below :-)
Love Always,
Anna Banana & Teddy ♡
So, I've been shopping... A lot these days. I mean, I know it's Christmas, but I should be on a very strict spending ban because I've been out of hand lately. As you can see, I started Christmas shopping for Teddy's First Christmas! Woo hoo! We're all super excited. Petbarn has become one of my new favourite stores. I'm the type of person who can't wait to use something once I buy it. And I don't know how I'm refraining from giving Teddy her new bone or toys, but I am and have hung her stocking up on our tree. I really wish we had a fireplace to hang Christmas stockings but we don't have one & so we never had this kind of tradition :-( Anyways, I couldn't resist dressing her in her new Santa dress. She kinda looks like Superdog in this picture but still cute, right?
I should tell you that this is a slightly older photo. Big news, she got her first shave! She's sooooo skinny now & I didn't want her fur to be too short so we kept stressing that to the groomers. We were so relieved that she turned out absolutely adorable & for more pics of her, check out her Instagram! That's right, I made her an Instagram! And since she got all her vaccinations & is allowed out, we went on our first walk & play date with my cousins & their dog.There's so much fun going on there so I'd love for you to check it out :-)
Love Always,
Anna Banana ♡

I have been having a serious case of Puppy Fever lately & it went to an all time high after seeing this little beauty. There was no description but I think it's a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. So so cute! Since it's my 21st birthday next week, my parents have been trying to get me a birthday present (although I keep insisting they don't have to since they chipped in for my car). And because I've been obsessively looking at pictures of dogs for a while now, they seemed pretty serious about getting me a dog. My mom was actually prepared to get me this one but when we went to the store again, it was gone :-( However, there were a few new furry additions.
A cute but a sort of big Toy Poodle & a whole group of tiny little Moodles (Maltese x Poodle). I am so, so tempted to bring one of these beauties home, but when I posted the picture of the Cavalier on my Instagram, I got a lot of comments warning me not to get puppies from pet shops since they come from puppy mills. I would love for you to give me some advice about this & where is the best place to get puppies.
I've been researching & researching, looking for ads and found the cutest little Toy Cavoodle (Cavalier x Toy Poodle). I checked to make sure she came from safe, registered breeders and not puppy mills. She's perfect. I want her so, so bad. But she's a little steep... :-( That's the one thing stopping me at the moment.
Also, I know they're absolutely adorable to look at, but I'm worried about how much work they'll be & how much I'll have to look after them - not to mention quite expensive. I'm more than willing to do the dirty work, but when I go back to uni, I'll be worried about leaving him/her alone at home for long periods of time... And to be completely honest, I'm a little OCD and am a little worried about the dog peeing all over the place & even more worried about what will happen if it accidentally chews on something dangerous or knocks something over and gets hurt...
I feel like a mom going crazy with baby fever. Is this how everyone else with dogs feel? I would looove for you to give me any kind of advice on puppy training, potty training, how often to feed them, walk them, wash them, all that stuff... I've been doing my research but more advice is always welcome. Ahh! So much to think about! And on top of that, I need the perfect name! I really like the name Teddy...or Stewie (huuuuuge Family Guy fan here :D)
Any & all help would be much appreciated, thank you ♡♡
Love Always,
Anna Banana ♡
p.s. I don't even have the dog yet, or even know if we're even going to get one, but I've been planning it's room (we have 2 spare bedrooms so why not give them their own room? :D) & online shopping like crazy. Not buying yet of course, just planning everything down to the last detail... It's ridiculous because I might not even get one, which means I'm going to be even more devastated :-( Sad times people, sad times...
