Posted November 4, 20168 yr Yesterday, Teddy Bear lost his life to the lymphoma that was making it miserable. We took Teddy and Nelly to Assateague Island on Wednesday, 11/04. Teddy couldn't walk, so we outfitted a wagon with hi-tech rubber wheels with padding and blankets. We walked up and down the beach that way. Saw some ponies, sniffed some horseshoe crab remains. Ate some treats on the way out and back. It was a good day. If my last day on earth is that good, I will be satisfied. Max and Nelly
November 4, 20168 yr Bless you Teddy Bear. Rest in peace with your family that's gone ahead and waiting. You had a great life with folks who loved you very much. So Sorry Tara. Thankful you have Nelly to take care of you.
November 4, 20168 yr So sad to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Teddy Bear and the others are watching over you, they have the same great memories that you do. Hold Nelly close...
November 4, 20168 yr Rest in peace little Teddy. I am so glad you have Nellie to cuddle up to and keep you company while you mourn the loss of your sweet boy. Big hugs Tara. Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened. - Anatole France Adventures with Sam &Rosie

November 5, 20168 yr Author Promise I will change pics soon. It's been less than a year in which I lost my Three. Still doesn't seem real. Max and Nelly
November 5, 20168 yr Tara, I'm terribly sorry to hear of Teddy's passing. You gave him an incredible life full of love. Hugs to you and Nelly.
November 5, 20168 yr Oh I am so sorry to hear this. I suspect Teddy was welcomed with puppy kisses from Sweet Pea and Ollie and his other furry friends. How kind of you to give him such a lovely farewell. I hope you and Nelly can comfort each other during this difficult time. I'm glad she got to meet and spend time with Teddy before he said goodbye.

November 5, 20168 yr Too much loss in too little time, Tara. I can only send you virtual hugs, but wish I could do so much more. I can say that each of your wonderful pets must have thrived in the circle of love you provided. I don't think a dog could want for more.
November 5, 20168 yr Oh Tara, so sorry to hear this. You and yours have had a tough year with loss. In time that loss will minimize and you will smile with memories of the happy times. God speed Teddy Bear. Sassy Jan 22, 2005 AM. CH. THARRBARR LITE MY FIRE ZOMERHOF

November 5, 20168 yr So sorry to hear about Teddy Bear, he had a lovely life with you and is now reunited with his pals and those others who have passed before including Holly!

November 5, 20168 yr So sorry to hear about your loss, we lost our precious Moggie to the same disease a couple of months ago. Peace to you and your family. Mary
November 6, 20168 yr I am very sorry for your loss. You did everything to make his last few months happy and as comfortable as possible. Who rescued whom?
November 6, 20168 yr Tara, sending some thoughts your way during this sad time. Enjoy all the good memories.
November 6, 20168 yr Author We might be able to adopt another one of Kelli Winkler's baby girls named "Raven". Raven's about 2.5 years younger than Nelly. As a point of (re)introduction, I found Kelli when asking Lydia Hutchinson (Wolfpit Cairns) about adopting a Cairn child. Nelly and Raven have lived together for a while before we adopted Nelly. I think it might work out. Kelli loves Cairns as much as we do. She thinks Nelly and Raven belong together. I agree. Will keep everyone posted. Max and Nelly
