Sad Sad Day

This was taken when Teddy went home to Joe and Trudy's home. Yesterday we heard from Joe that Trudy passed away. You may have seen them at the picnic. We saw them each time Teddy needed a groom. Last time was the day before Trudy was getting out of the hospital. I had no time for a groom but wanted to make sure Teddy was nice and clean and fully groomed before she arrived at home. I am glad I made the time and figured out what I thought was an impossible schedule.

I am exceedingly sad for Joe, for Teddy. She always had a tip for me in a separate envelope and a holiday bonus. She always thanked me and when Nathan was going through his surgery, she always had an upbeat - this is nothing spirit.

Here is the blog entry when Teddy went home.

I will always remember her as the lady in the most exquisite leather pants and clothes. She just had impeccable taste. She will be missed truly!

Thank you Darla for such a nice post about my mom. She loved Teddy so much, and all animals. Reading the Talemakers was a great enjoyment for her, and seeing all the sweet babies. ⁵We will miss her more than anything.

I met this couple and their Teddy at the Havanese picnic. We had a long chat about how wonderful our dogs are. This is very sad news.

Susan: massive hugs from us - Nathan, me and Dennis. She was a bright light in our lives.If you need anything even if it gets hectic for you we can take Teddy while you deal with the influx of activity. Whatever is needed.

I’m so sorry to hear about Trudy’s passing. I’m sure that Teddy was a great part of her life. These little ones are so supportive to us when we are ill. . I’m sure he will grieve for her but he will also be a wonderful comfort to Joe and Sudan. May Trudy’s memory be a blessing.
