Teddy reached the end of his journey
Amanda can move this to another topic if she sees fit, but really I thought that it was appropriate to post it in here.
Four years ago, a sick pug came into pug rescue. I got to witness his journey through the medical procedures and his recovery via a fellow foster home. We were only supposed to be baby sitting him for a little while, but I had loved him from the first time that I laid eyes on him. We adopted Theodore from SEPRA and he immediately became our Teddy Bear. He was quiet honestly the worst pug ever-pee'd on everything, woke up at 3:30am to eat breakfast, hated all other pugs (especially other males), was a bundle of medical problems, and I could go on. But he was also the best pug that I have ever known-just one look from his big brown eyes and I would melt into his every command. I never understood what a <3 dog was until I met him.
Sadly, over the past couple of months, he started having seizures. We had a rough go of it on Friday night and ended up at the emergency vet. He seemed to do a little better on Saturday and even on Sunday. Something changed on Monday though. When I got home from work and he did not have the motor skills to eat, I knew in my heart that it was time. I snuggled in the bed with him and cried. I had to continually give him Valium through out the night to fend off the tremors.
Today is was the end of his journey. We took him to the vet's office and did the hardest thing; to let him go. I am deeply saddened by this loss, but relieved that his body is no longer torturing itself.
Once again, my pug friends and fellow rescuers have rallied at my side to offer condolences, hugs, prayers, and well wishes. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Jana, I didn't know his story, thank you for sharing it. I teared up reading it, I am glad he had such a wonderful home with you.
RIP, Teddy. I will light a candle tonight for him.

Re: Teddy reached the end of his journey
Jana,
I will never forget the day you called me and asked me if it was ok to adopt Theodore. I giggled as I knew he had wiggled his way into your heart and decided you would be his mommy. I have watched him over the years grow into a true momma's boy in every sense of the word. I know a piece of you is missing now but I am positive he is pain free and watching over you from the bridge. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. If there is anything at all you need please don't hesitate to ask me.

(((Jana))) I will light a candle for Teddy tonight. He's now pain-free and playing (or possibly fighting) with our other sweet companions at the Bridge.
Re: Teddy reached the end of his journey
I've had a candle burning for sweet Teddy since I read about him earlier. Lots of hugs and prayers to you and yours. My heart breaks for you.
