SAD NEWS: 30 Minutes Ago – Teddy Misses Everyone So Much
It’s with a heavy heart that I share today’s update… one that arrived less than 30 minutes ago and has left me feeling emotional in a way I can hardly describe. Teddy, our sweet, gentle, loving boy, is missing everyone deeply. Even though he’s receiving the best care, the safest environment, and the attention he needs, there’s something only his people—his family, his friends, his supporters—can give him: connection.
You know how dogs have that incredible ability to sense things? That soft awareness, that emotional intelligence that often feels more natural than our own? Teddy is showing that side of himself so clearly right now. According to the staff, he keeps glancing toward the door whenever footsteps echo down the hallway. His ears perk up at the sound of a familiar tone. His tail gives those soft, hopeful thumps each time someone approaches his room… only to slow again when he realizes it isn’t one of “his” people.
And honestly, that’s what breaks my heart the most.
Because Teddy isn’t just missing home—he’s missing everyone. He’s missing the voices that comfort him, the touch that reassures him, the laughter that fills his world with warmth. He’s missing the energy he’s always been surrounded by, the presence of those who adore him, the feeling of belonging to his little family circle.
The nurses say he’s been extra gentle today, extra quiet. Not sad in a scary way—just longing. That soft, searching kind of longing dogs have when they want to be close to the ones they love. He keeps looking around as if expecting someone to walk in at any moment. It doesn’t matter that he’s being cared for so well; love is the medicine he’s craving most right now.
And while it hurts to hear this, it also reminds me of something deeply beautiful:
Teddy loves so big, so sincerely, that the absence of those he loves is something he feels right down to his golden soul.
So if Teddy could speak right now, I imagine his message would be simple:
“Where is everyone? I miss you. I miss your voices. I miss your hugs. I miss the way you say my name. Please come back soon.”
I think he can feel the distance. And I think he can feel how much we’re thinking about him too. Dogs are remarkable that way—love is their language, and Teddy speaks it fluently.
For now, all we can do is send him our thoughts, our strength, our comfort. Even from a distance, that love reaches him. I know it does. And the moment he comes home—the moment he sees familiar faces walk through that door—that tail of his will explode into the happiest, fiercest wag the world has ever seen.
So if you’re reading this… please send Teddy a little love today.
A prayer.
A warm thought.
A whispered “we miss you too.”
Because he feels it.
And he misses you all more than words could ever say.

Do You All Miss Teddy?
Do you all miss Teddy? Because if you could see him right now—the way he looks toward the door every time it creaks, or the way his tail does a tiny hopeful wag whenever he hears footsteps—you’d know he misses you even more. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time, watching just how deeply a dog can love the people who’ve filled his world with joy.
Lately, the house has felt different. Quieter. Slower. The energy that usually surrounds Teddy—the laughter, the cuddles, the constant “good boy!” chants—has softened into a gentle calm he doesn’t fully understand. He wanders from room to room, sniffing the corners, nudging his toys, and checking his favorite resting spots as if he’s searching for the familiar warmth of the people who adore him. And every time he doesn’t find you there, his ears drop just a little.
But don’t worry—your absence hasn’t dimmed his spirit completely. Teddy still curls up with the blanket that smells like you. He still brings his favorite toy to the door, placing it gently on the floor like an offering, hoping that today will be the day you walk through with your big smile and outstretched arms. His loyalty is unwavering, his hope endless, and his heart as full as ever.
What makes Teddy so special isn’t just that he loves—it’s that he loves with everything he has. Whether he’s healthy or struggling, energetic or tired, he carries you with him. Dogs don’t forget the people who make them feel safe. They don’t forget the hands that pet them, the voices that speak softly to them, or the laughter that surrounds them like sunshine. Teddy remembers it all.
And every day that passes, he waits.
He waits for the sound of your footsteps that make him jump off the couch.
He waits for the gentle scratch behind his ear that makes him close his eyes in bliss.
He waits for the way you say his name—“Teddy!”—in that tone filled with affection.
He waits for the warmth of your presence that makes his world feel complete.
Even though he’s been going through a rough time lately, Teddy’s love hasn’t faded. In fact, it seems to have grown deeper. When dogs don’t feel well, they often look for comfort in the people who make them feel safe—and Teddy is no different. He misses the energy you bring, the calm you give him, the reassurance that everything will be okay.
It’s incredible how animals have a way of speaking without words. Teddy’s eyes say what his voice cannot. They tell a story of loyalty, longing, and connection. They tell you that you matter to him more than he could ever show with tail wags alone.
So yes—Teddy misses you. More than you know. But he’s holding on, staying strong, and waiting patiently for the moment he gets to be wrapped in all the love he’s been missing. And when that moment comes? His whole body will wiggle with happiness. His tail will wag so much he’ll look like he’s about to take flight. He’ll press his head against you the way he always does—soft, gentle, relieved.
Because to Teddy, you’re not just part of his life.
You are his life.
His comfort.
His joy.
His favorite feeling in the world.
So if you’re reading this, send a little love his way. Whisper his name, even if he can’t hear it. Think of him with warmth. Teddy feels more than people realize—and every bit of love helps him stay strong while he waits for you to come back into his world.
And when that day comes?
Teddy’s heart will finally feel whole again. 
SAD NEWS: 30 Minutes Ago – Everyone, Teddy Is Sick
Today has been one of the longest, heaviest days we’ve had in a long time. Just 30 minutes ago, we received the news no pet parent ever wants to hear: Teddy is sick, and we’ve had to rush him to the emergency vet. What was supposed to be an ordinary day quickly turned into a blur of fear, phone calls, and quiet prayers whispered into trembling hands.
Right now, Teddy is lying at the clinic with tubes and monitors gently attached to him, and seeing him like this breaks something deep inside. This is the same Teddy who usually bursts through the house like a golden ray of sunshine—tail wagging, eyes sparkling, heart overflowing with love for everyone he meets. But today, that bright energy is dimmed. He’s exhausted, weak, and resting his head on a lap as if trying to tell us, “I’m trying… I just need you with me.”
And we are.
Every second.
The vet team is doing everything they can, running tests, offering fluids, and watching his vitals closely. They’ve assured us he’s in good hands, but that doesn’t make the waiting any easier. If you’ve ever loved a pet, you know this feeling—the mix of fear and hope, the silent pleading for just one more tail wag, one more bark, one more warm nuzzle against your hand.
What hurts the most is seeing Teddy’s gentle brown eyes still full of trust, even though he doesn’t feel well. He’s trying to be strong, the way dogs always do, but you can see the fatigue in the way his chest rises slowly, the way his paws loosen like he’s just too tired to hold himself up. Still, when you whisper his name, his eyes lift just a little—as if to say, “I’m here… don’t leave me.”
And we won’t.
Not for a single moment.
When a dog becomes family—and Teddy has been nothing less—their pain becomes your pain. Their fight becomes your fight. And their recovery becomes the prayer you repeat with every breath. The house already feels different without his happy presence echoing through it. Every corner feels quieter, every room feels a little colder. That’s how deeply he fills this home with life.
But we believe in him.
We believe in his strength.
We believe in the love all of you have always shown him.
So please… if you’re reading this, send up a prayer, a thought, a moment of kindness for Teddy today. Dogs don’t understand sickness the way we do, but they understand love—and I know he can feel every bit of it being sent his way right now.
Get well soon, Teddy. We need you. We’re waiting for you. And we love you more than words can ever say.
