Teddy will not be sporting a Santa hat this year. A pair of reindeer antlers will not top-off his Christmas look. This Schnauzer is master of the two-second shake-down – nothing stays on if he doesn’t want it to. If I’m honest, I’m quite relieved that Teddy is a dog with a less-is-more approach.
But Christmas is Christmas, and if we’re all wearing paper crowns, then Teddy needs some sort of seasonal accessory, too. Rather fabulously, just the thing arrived in the post this week: a festive neckerchief. Smart and stylish, it is also hand-printed with his name which makes it very useful when the Christmas guests gather and no one can remember what the pup they want to pet is called.
Not only is this natty neckerchief personalized it is also looped onto Teddy’s collar, so no matter how hard he tries, this fashion item is on for the duration. Louise Brooker at Edwyn UK makes them and they can be bought at notonthehighstreet.com until 23rd December and from then, on her Etsy shop. But if you find yourself near Spitalfields Market tomorrow (Saturday, 20th December), then head to the excellent EdwynUK stall. I hear there are many different festive neckerchiefs for sale and some ace doggy decs, too.
