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:
