My beautiful Teddy
Thank you for your kind words in the previous post, especially Lisa, Helly and Lucy in the Sky.....
My beautiful Teddy went to sleep yesterday, surrounded by love from me, Zoe and Spencer. Emily was there in spirit. He was my best friend for many, many years. To keep him any longer would have been selfish, and he was too good for that. We have lots of good memories.
If drugs smelled like tennis balls he would have had a job. At New Year's we went to my Aunt Audrey's house in Montreal. He had never been to her house before. After a quick greeting, the first thing he did was put his head into her ceramic umbrella stand. We couldn't figure out what he was doing until Aunt Audrey said there was a tennis ball in there! His eyes, ears, and back legs may not have worked very well anymore, but there was nothing wrong with his old sniffer.
We remember the Christmas morning he fit three tennis balls into his mouth (and lips!) at the same time.
We remembered playing a game with Teddy years ago. We would throw his ball down the hall into the far bedroom. He would run after it and we would begin throwing a stuffed animal back and forth between us, counting each toss. Teddy would come running back and immediately try to grab the animal. The trick was to get in as many throws and hide it before he got back to steal it. We all loved it!
We remember that whenever the kids were rough housing, Teddy would get excited and pull off your socks!!!! He would use his tiny little front teeth to nibble them and then pull them right off your foot. Once, he even pulled off Zoe's sock as she was having a nap on the living room couch!
We remember playing frisbee in the park, and how proud of himself he was when he caught it in the air. He would bring it back with a special strut.
We remember Zoe's 10th birtday party in the back yard. All the guests took turns lying in the grass and letting Teddy lick cake and ice cream off their faces!
We remember when he was a puppy and liked to chew up our underwear. A then 7-year-old Spencer said that Teddy liked his underwear "fresh off the bum".
We loved him dearly, and will miss him terribly.
Jayne, Emily, Zoe and Spencer
