In January, I had some surgery. I am not really sure why? But mom and dad felt it was necessary, and I have to say that mom and dad were there for me! I try to take care of them all the time, and they did their best to take care of me until I felt better! Dad even took naps with me. I love him!
The first few days, I really didn’t feel like doing much and basically just slept a lot. But once I felt better, I noticed something really irritating, a gigantic plastic hood that circled my head. I couldn’t do anything like I was used to! I couldn’t wait until that thing came off!
I did finally get used to the plastic hood a little bit. I didn’t really want to tell mom and dad that just in case they thought it should stay on longer.
After the sprinkler line disaster that occurred in September of 2019, mom and dad purchased new couches, and up until my surgery, I wasn’t allowed to sit on them. Can you imagine that? How rude! They sat on them and wouldn’t let me. I am Dr. Teddy, and I take care of them, but I couldn’t sit on their furniture. Well, that changed after my surgery. They were so worried about me that they slept downstairs with me, and once mom and dad realized I was more comfortable on the soft couch, they let me stay there! I love them!
As I started to feel better, I began attempting to play. I didn’t want mom and dad to be worried, so I did the best I could to grab the ball with that stupid plastic thing around my head. They didn’t think I should be playing, so they were not open to my play ball invitations. I so desperately wanted to have an opportunity to play again.
While we were sleeping downstairs, there were a couple of nights where I heard something that mom and dad didn’t, and I barked my biggest boy bark possible to scare away the monster. I still felt the need to protect mom and dad even though that darn plastic thing around my head made it difficult. They were so grateful!
I remember when Candy had to wear one of these things for a long time, I tried to be caring and comforting to her so she wouldn’t be afraid. I wish Candy was here to comfort me.
It wasn’t too long before my plastic hood was removed (it seemed like forever). But my wound from the surgery still needed time to heal, so I still couldn’t play like I wanted to. I missed Cosmo so much!
Mom and dad and Cosmo’s mom came up with an idea so we could get together, sort of. Cosmo and I have been taking walks together each night, which is fun, but I can’t wait until we can wrestle again!
My birthday occurred during this period, and mom said we would have a party after I was well. So I’m waiting for the time when Cosmo and I can get together for my birthday party and play.
Note from mom: During this time of learning new normals because of COVID-19, Dr. Teddy has taught my husband and me so much! While we spend so much time worrying about everything, Teddy is always there with a happy smile, and he is ready to show us how to have fun. Teddy is ready for anything we want to do. Play ball or take a walk; Teddy is always excited. Walks are exceptional because the sky is beautiful, the air is full of exotic smells, and there are many beautiful things to see. Teddy loves a good meal and a few snacks! Naps are a good thing too! Dr. Teddy is doing a great job showing us how to live. We love him!
