Godspeed Teddy

Well it's official now - I saw it in print on the Genesis Web Site. Teddy - my first foster that I wrote about last week - he had to be euthanized this week. At 4 months he had severe hip dysplasia and was in a lot of pain. It was a gut wrenching decision for the Genesis Board - I'm glad I didn't have to make that decision. The vet said he would be crippled before he was a year old and surgery recovery would be very painful - and a long shot at best from what I understand.

It's just so so sad. He was such a wonderful dog - my big fuzzy lap dog. I choose to picture him now in a better place - playing with Hoover.

Godspeed Teddy

So sorry to hear about Teddy, Jill. He was such a sweetheart. I had no idea he even had any health problems, let alone something so serious!!
Love,
