Hi to all my friends. I keep telling you about watching baseball and softball games. Well tonight was my night, I just knew it, I could feel it!!! Mom and I went for our walk to the playground. At the playground there was a little girl with her mom and another grown up friend. The grown ups asked to see me. Of course Mom brought me to them. The adults noticed I was different right away. The little girl, who will be 5 next week, never noticed I was different. The grown ups kept asking her about me and if I was different. She said, “Well, yes, he smells good and is real soft.” What can I say, I just smell better than any dog around. Woof Woof Woof. She never even noticed how I was different than other dogs. I was soooo happy. Mom of course told the adults about my troubles and the adults were soooo happy to see me and how happy and gentle I am. Then Mom let the little girl hang onto my leash and we walked to her car together.
Then I was off, I just knew I was going to put my feet on that softball field. Yup Yup, Mom let me off leash and I jogged around the infield a bit, then found the outfield. Sooo, here I am, sniffing and having a good time.
Ok so I hope you enjoyed the short video. Below I am relaxing in the cool breeze.
Below is the news release of the event, You will get a glimpse of Ted and I in the parade with the survivors. My husband Tom is also in the parade.
Below there are numerous pictures of Ted and Izzy. Many questions were asked about each dog. During the parade I did hear the comments like, “He is a survivor too!”, ” Oh look at that poor dog, that is so sad!”, “Look at how well he is doing, that is amazing!”, and “Hey Ted, you go big guy!!!”
I really like being outside when Mom or Dad cooks dinner. This is how I choose to help them out. Like my new haircut??? I went to the spa over the weekend and now my fur is all the same length. I just love it. Izzy is sporting the same style.
I am feeling soooo good today!!! I woke everyone up by 5:30 to get the day started. Yes it is still dark but I just wanted to get some fresh air. Dad had to slow me down going down the stairs, man I just wanted to get outside. I did what I had to do and let the world know I am up and ready to go.
Breakfast was ready as soon as I went back inside. Dad is soooo good to me. Now it is relax time. Here is my spot!!!
Mom finally took that shirt off me for good. I have licked the incision a little, but not enough to make it red. Mom says I am a good boy and the shirt will stay off. You know what though?? It is cold outside without the shirt on. My fur will grow. Oh I also heard Mom tell Dad that in the spring she will take me to the groomer so I can get my fur evened out. She always takes such good care of me.
Ted E Bear is the first male golden retriever my family has ever owned. This site is created to document his life, first as a quadpawd, and now as a tripawd.
I hope you enjoy the site, please feel free to make comments, ask questions, or even offer advice.
