On March 30, 2010 I saw his photo on an e-mail from Lexington
Humane Society. He was swaddled in bandages from surgery to repair both
back legs. He had been run over by a car and at 7 pounds, the car,
well, won. Teddy's eyes just spoke to me. I immediately grabbed the
phone, called the shelter and told them he was mine.
Almost two months later we finally got to take Teddy home. He had been
run over because children were throwing rocks at him and he ran into
traffic. Thankfully, our shelter has a vet on staff and Dr. Liz did all
she could but once he came to us, we had to fundamentally start over.
He could only walk on his front legs and he was in tremendous pain. So,
just as Dr. Liz decided to give it her best to save him, we decided to
do our best to give him as good a future as he could have. More surgery
to repair the damage to both hind legs, physical therapy, lots of
antibiotics and a tremendous amount of love on our part and courage on
his, today Teddy is happy, healthy and mobile to the point of a little
TOO mobile. He is the light of my life and my husband's and a great
brother to his fur sister Sophie and his fur-kitty brother Roy.
