Ted came to us a fuzzy puppy about the size of a fuzzy slipper. His puppy walk was that of a black bear cub so he was named Theodore
Edward Bear..Ted E Bear. By the time Ted was 4 months old we knew something was wrong. He wasn't playing like a pup....and there
were 3 other dogs in the house. The vet diagnosed that the hips were not developing as they should to fit the thigh bone in the socket.
Ted had his first surgery at 6 months. It was very successful. He ran and chased chipmunks and deer for years in Pa. We moved to SC
and he found squirrels to chase but was going slower and falling. The elbow joints were affected also. Feb '06 he had a bout with
gastric tortion (stomach flipped) and the surgery was successful. Oct 06 he was diagnosed with lymphoma and within several
treatments had it in remission. Upon finishing his chemo, he had started a little PT to help with the damaged elbows. But a second bout
with gastic tortion took him out of his pain. Ted was a loyal loving dog that God took home a week short of his 8th birthday....4-25-07. We
miss him everyday.
