Below is Teddy's Happy Tails bio, as submitted by his family:
A leaf rustles in the rocks, a shadow sways in the breeze and he is there, protecting his new family from the dangerous things that dwell in the space just outside the screen enclosure. Teddy is home. His new family loves him more and more each day.
He is learning the rules... no pee pee inside, no scratching the screen. Although he cannot eat whatever he wants due to his liver disease, he loves eggs, cheese, green beans, carrots, and fish. He gets special gel for his teeth to protect them from his medicine. He loves to run through the house after a bath and roll all over towels. You would never guess that he has a liver disorder. He plays chase and hide and seek with his boys who love him.
His little human boy, Carson, spends time with him every morning before school. He pets him and talks to him gently. His big human boy, Patrick, cuddles and pets him as well as takes him for walks. Patrick also makes sure Teddy has what he needs before he goes off to school. Teddy gets lots of cookies made from baking his special dog food. He will do anything for a cookie.
Teddy does not like rain or darkness. In fact, he can be trusted to go outside without a leash, because he won't run away under these conditions. He also doesn't like tall wet grass and will walk on the brick border rather than get wet. When he does have to walk through tall grass, he runs and hops like a rabbit. He plays in the backyard while Mommy works in the garden and scares off lizards at the front door. Some times Daddy takes him for walks while everyone else is sleeping.
Teddy's family has many nicknames for him including Teddy Bear, Theodore, Mr. T, Little Man, Teddy Binetti, and Mommy's Baby. Teddy lets Mommy hold him like a baby. She is the only one that can do that. Probably because she makes him feel safe.
Teddy sleeps a lot while his family is away. In fact, they keep him up and bother him on the weekends, because he seems to sleep all day on Mondays even when one of them is home with him.
Teddy loves closets & dark places like under beds. He still has his Snoopy bed from his previous owner but he also has a cube and a very plush doggy bed and can sleep whereever he wants when his family is home. At night he retreats to his crate under Patrick's new loft bed. It is like Teddy has his own den.
Teddy's family did not think they could have a dog due to allergies, but Teddy has saved the day and made two boys very happy. Mommy and Daddy love him too.
Note from UYR: Ahhhhhhhhh, we just love Happy Tails and the perfect family was chosen for this perfect little boy!
