Teagan's Special Story

Update: 3/10
Teagan is over 1 year old now and doing well! He is currently available for adoption in Indiana.

Teagan had his surgery on April 15, 2009, and had to be confined for 3 weeks before he could start therapy. I took Teagan to Dr. Lee May 20th. Dr Lee is so amazed with Teagan’s rehabilitation. The Therapy is working; he still has a long road to recovery.

Teagan is now doing many puppy things he could not before such as: If he has an itch he can scratch the itch, he is rolling in the grass like most dogs love to do. He wants to play with all my Yorkies, he just gets so excited he is beyond himself. He doesn’t know who he wants to play with first. My Yorkies have been very good with him it is like they know something is not right. He is such a joy to watch just being Teagan, his personality is really beginning to shine. By the way the tail is wagging and wagging now he can wag the tail as fast as any other dog.

Along with water therapy and exercises Teagan and I are walking around my house about 4 times a day. On the way back he gets pretty tried and I pick him up and tell him how wonderful he is and how I love him, he really eats this up. Lays his little head in the crook of my neck and just nuzzles me. I think he just wants me to pick him up for the lov’n. His little legs continue to get stronger. He has been walking and trying to run for two weeks. When he runs it is like his mind is faster than his legs, he doesn’t have running down pat as yet. He is just a cutie and I can not tell you how happy I am that he came into my life.

Teagan is 4 ½ months old and weighs 2.9 pounds. Teagan needs spinal surgery so he can walk again. At 2 months of age a very large dog stepped on him; now he has no use of his front and back legs.
