Tulip has a best friend who lives with Connie and Karen next door. They brought him home only a few days after they moved in this summer and Teddy quickly became an important part of our lives. He’s the best little dog; he’s sweet and funny and a bit of a doofus. About two weeks ago, he got very sick and had to have a barium x-ray, an endoscopy and several biopsies and still the vets didn’t know what was wrong with him. It’s been a worrisome time for all concerned. Seems he had some sort of bacteria that can cause ulcers but with a long course of antibiotics, I’m glad to say, Ted’s doing much better. Every day he’s more and more his old happy puppy self. I took this portrait of him and his bear around Christmas time.
