Meet Teddy

Meet Teddy. This sweet 13-year-old Pomeranian lives in Lakeland, Florida. His owner writes, "I adopted him when he was around 1.5 years old. He had evidence of being abused, and was very stressed out. He has been spoiled rotten since we got him, and has been the best little companion anyone could ask for. Unfortunately, he has congestive heart failure, which he has had for a couple years. He takes medicine twice a day, somewhat unfavorably. His heart has gotten much worse over the past couple months, but he's still hanging in there. He's a tough little guy. He still loves going to the car wash so he can bark at the girls there and watching birds in the yard. I'm sure he dreams about chasing them like he once was able to do. We live in Lakeland, Florida, where it hasn't snowed since 1977.'
