somebody is taking more than a passing interest ..

....in this gorgeous teddy I bought yesterday in a craft market for my great-nephew's birthday later in the year. It was a 'moment-of-happiness' find as I don't get to see my great nephews and nieces often and I'm not all that switched-on to what 2,3 or 4 year olds like. If by chance, he doesn't like the teddy I'll look after him myself! Or I know somebody who will.

What a great shot! Did your dog think he had a rival or a new friend?

[Sarah]

That's so cute!! Love the two eyes and ears just peeking past the teddy!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a beautiful Teddy !! --love his dungarees !!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

This is so cute. Love the teddy bear and I think I see someone peeking out behind him. LOL Love it.

[Sam]

[Bep]

Cute shot, Hazel.

[Pam Knowler]

Lovely Teddy and I think Jinks likes him too!! Lovely capture of him peeping at you!!

[Pat Knowles]

He will love it Hazel..how could one not! someone has taken great care making his dungarees & sweater, he looks a very smart bear indeed!!

[Ivan]

Super image, gingham patched dungarees are a delight, and that dog (sorry, Jinks)! We both agree with Pat, very smart bear!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Instant Fav! So funny - I just love it! Jinks you are great!

[Graham Thresher]

A really beautiful capture.

[Gerry]

beautiful capture Hazel I can see little Jinks in the background

[Pyrrhula]

You spoil on you nephews . I guest Jinks get envious of. Very humorous.

[Hazel]

Thank you for all your interest and comments and favs! Jinks definitely thought this was one for him but he was quite restrained. See what happened last time I bought a cuddly toy into the house:

great image

[Sian B]

lovely!

[Karin Hirsch]

This is so cute Hazel, both faces are so much alike. I'd keep the Teddy as well, if nobody wanted it. But I'm sure Jinks will adopt him if the grand nephew would rather have soem strom troopers.

[Malc Bird]

Haha - love the way he's sneaking up behind - great image!

[Barbara Havrot]

THAT is AMAZING! So cute. Jinks is a photobombed! FAV!

[Frank Hymus]

I think Jinx is jealous! Really cute capture.

[Ness Santvoort]

Oh he is so cute, and I love how Jinks is trying to be the centre of attention in your photo

[Hazel]

Thank you all for your interest and comments - I realaly didn't expect this shot to be so popular! Jinks definitely thought this addition to the household was for him. The trouble is, when he has 'killed' a new toy by shaking it to death he loses interest!

[Darren Juden]

Haha Great shot - could almost be a relative of Jinks's!

Sweet :)

[Nicole]
