Teague 10-28-95 to 11-18-09
We lost our little man last night. While it was not entirely unexpected, we were taken completely by surprise by the suddenness.
Teague, as many of you know, has had a plethora of health issues in the last couple of years – as an old dog will have. Most recently his mobility had been terribly compromised. [...]
Friday Quote – Plautus
Let’s keep it simple today. . .
“Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.”
-Plautus, Roman playwright (c. 254–184 BC)
Hang out with your best bud and remember how good it feels to be loved absolutely.
Have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here Monday!
Happy 14th Birthday Teague!!!
I can’t believe that my beautiful boy is 14 years old today. What a long and wonderful journey we’ve been on . . .
The day we brought you home. You were a massive ball of fluffy fur and razor-sharp teeth, which you cut on everything – toys, hands, shoes – nothing was safe. It was [...]
To Costume or Not To Costume…
Every year at this time Teague and I sit down and have a very serious discussion about Halloween costumes. The talk goes something like this:
Me: “Wouldn’t it be fun to dress up this year and walk around the neighborhood and then show off for all the kids who come to the door?”
Teague: <blank stare>
Me: “You [...]
Bottoms Up! (product review)
As most of you know, my boy Teague has a host of health issues — one of them is a neurological condition that is getting worse with time. It has caused seizures, laryngeal paralysis and badly affected his mobility, particularly in his rear legs. We control the seizures with medication and we have had surgery [...]
Fear the Yogi-Cup!
I saw this video featured on the LA Times’ blog “Unleashed”, (a wonderful site for keeping up on animal news — please check it out!) and it reminded me of another yogurt cup related incident in which a good Samaritan aided in the removal of the dreaded yogi-cup. See if you can spot the similarities:
Neither [...]
Teague’s fifth acupuncture session
Last week Teague had hit a bit of a plateau in his progress — not all together surprising given the rate he was improving. He is now very comfortable going down stairs with very little help, although going up is tougher and he appreciates a little boost. He is going on longer walks. He is [...]
Teague’s third acupuncture session
Today we had Teague’s third acupuncture session with Dr. Kocen. This last week has been pretty level in terms of physical improvements; however, he continues to be more engaged, more aware and have more energy — more get up and go. I spent the week noting more of Teague’s weaknesses, rather than his strengths — [...]
Teague’s second acupuncture session
Last week I told you all about how we ended up trying acupuncture for the first time and the wonderful immediate results. Yesterday we had our second session, and I’m becoming a big fan of acupuncture as we continue to see Teague’s condition evolve.
During the week I noticed that Teague was not only physically stronger [...]
Teague Gets Stuck
My beautiful boy Teague had his first acupuncture session yesterday. We decided to give acupuncture a try at the suggestion of the emergency vet who saw Teague last Friday. Let me back up and explain how we ended up at the emergency vet on Friday morning — Teague, who has good days when he can [...]
