My dad’s dog Teddy passed away today. He would have been 13 on the 15th of this month. The vet believes he had a stroke. My dad took him to the vet this morning after he wasn’t acting right. They took some blood and gave him medicine, with instructions to keep him calm and that they would call tomorrow with the results from the blood work. Teddy came home and he passed away in his sleep this evening.

Although I haven’t lived at home for 4 years now, he was my dog too and it’s hard. I wish I could have said goodbye. He was an amazing companion to us all and he will be missed. He was the most intelligent dog I have ever known. My grandfather got Teddy (from a pet store…before we knew) after my grandmother passed away. He was lonely and needed a companion. He and Teddy bonded and he helped my grandfather cope with his loss. The last year of my grandfather’s life, he lived with us, as did Teddy. After my grandfather passed away, there was no question that Teddy would remain with us. My mom formed a great bond with Teddy, and again he helped her with the loss of her father. He was her heart dog, without a doubt. My mom passed away about a year ago, something I’m still dealing with.

Teddy, you were loved. May you find your humans over the bridge. My little teddy bear. :angel:

What an incredibly special dog. To be the heart-dog of two people in one life-time is amazing. Not to mention those around him who he touched.
Rest in Peace, Little Teddy.

what a special and precious little fella! And as has been said, what a generous heart to help so many people, and to give so much love!!

I am so sorry for your loss, and I hate it that you did not get to say goodbye but sometimes goodbye is ... a biatch not a blessing. Obviously he knew how much you loved him, and thankfully he passed peacefully in his sleep.

Which does not make it SUCK any less.

:hug99: to you, sweetie. you have had way too much loss in your life of late, and I know your heart aches. :hug99:

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your hugs and condolences. It helped me immensely to know that I had a place where I could post a little tribute to a wonderful dog.
