I’m really glad Teddy is okay

I’m Really Glad Teddy Is Okay. I Wish Teddy Good Health. 🐾❤️

There are moments in life that stop everything—where your world suddenly shrinks down to a single hope, a single heartbeat. This past week was one of those moments.

And now, after all the worry, waiting, and tears, I can finally say the words I’ve been holding my breath for:
Teddy is okay.

Teddy—my best friend, my shadow, my joy in dog form—gave us a scare I wouldn’t wish on anyone. It started small: he seemed tired, not his usual goofy, golden self. He wasn’t bouncing around the house with Roo or trying to steal socks or sneaking snacks when I wasn’t looking. He just… slowed down.

And if you know Teddy, you know that’s not him.

A vet visit turned into a hospital stay. They ran tests, gave fluids, monitored his vitals. And while the amazing team did everything right, the hardest part was not knowing. The silence between updates. The empty spot on the couch. The way Roo kept pacing by the door, waiting for her big brother to come home.

I visited him as much as I could. I talked to him softly, brought him his favorite toys, and told him about all the people sending love. You. All of you. The messages, the comments, the drawings, the prayers—you wrapped him in so much kindness, and I swear, he felt it.

And now, finally, Teddy is back home.

When I picked him up, he gave me the gentlest tail wag. Not his usual “tornado of joy,” but enough to let me know, “I’m still here. I’m still Teddy.” And when we got home? He went straight to his favorite blanket, curled up, and gave the biggest sigh of relief I’ve ever heard.

We’re taking things slow—lots of rest, gentle walks, and yes, extra belly rubs. Roo hasn’t left his side, which is exactly how it should be.

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.

I’m really glad Teddy is okay.
Because honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without him.

He’s more than just a dog. He’s a part of my heart. A part of all our lives. The dog who makes us laugh when we need it most. Who brightens our screens and our spirits with every silly video, every side-eye, every dramatic bark.

And now, all I want is this:
I wish Teddy good health.
Strong days. Soft naps. Tail wags.
More time to love and be loved.

To everyone who has supported us, thank you. Your kindness made a hard time a little easier. Your words meant more than you know. And your love helped carry Teddy through.

He’s still got so much more mischief, love, and laughter to share.
And we’re going to cherish every second of it.
