🚨 It’s Been a Stressful Few Weeks for Teddy 😢🐶 The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of worry, fear, and prayer for our sweet Teddy. As anyone who’s loved a pet deeply will understand, they aren’t “just animals”—they’re family. And when something goes wrong, especially something serious, it shakes your whole world.

It all started with a routine vet visit after we noticed Teddy seemed a little more tired than usual. He wasn’t his typical happy-go-lucky self. His appetite was off, and he had moments where he just wanted to lie in one spot, quietly watching us with his warm, tired eyes. We thought maybe it was the heat or a minor bug. But after a thorough check-up and some scans, our vet found something unexpected—a mass on Teddy’s spleen.
From that moment on, everything felt uncertain. We were told that it could be benign or malignant, but the only way to know for sure was through a biopsy. And then came the worst part—waiting. Waiting for results that could change everything. Waiting to know if we were about to lose one of the brightest lights in our lives.
Those ten days were among the hardest we’ve faced. Every day was a quiet battle to stay calm, to be strong for Teddy, to not cry when he looked at us with those trusting eyes. He didn’t know what was happening, but somehow, dogs always sense when something isn’t right. And through it all, Teddy stayed gentle and brave—resting his head on our laps as if to comfort us when it should’ve been the other way around.
Then, finally, the call came. The vet said the words we’d been so desperate to hear: “There’s no evidence of cancer.” The weight that lifted from our shoulders in that moment can’t be described. We cried tears of relief. We hugged Teddy tighter than ever. It felt like we had been holding our breath for days, and we could finally exhale.
But even though the results were good, we know we’re not completely in the clear. The vet still wants to monitor the mass to ensure it doesn’t grow or change. We’ll need to follow up regularly. There are still questions. But for now, we have hope. And that hope is everything.
Teddy’s back to doing a little more tail-wagging, a little more exploring, and resting in his favorite sunspots. He still gets tired easily, but we’re watching closely and showering him with love. Every cuddle, every treat, every quiet walk means more than ever.
We’re grateful for every kind message, prayer, and thought sent Teddy’s way. He may be just one dog in this big world
