Teddy's New Adventures

[bruiser]

Great news. Looking forward to Maggie Valley and the two of you.

Ok, we're back from the vet & she decided it best to go ahead & give him an intravenous fluid injection under his skin:yikes: When they brought him back out, he had a HUGE hunchback :yikes: that freaked me out at 1st. They said gravity would help work it's way down as his body starts absorbing the fluids as well. Which, now that we're home, I've witnessed it go from one BIG blob in the center of his back to two smaller blobs, one on each side :shocked:

They also prescribed this prescription can food that any animal will eat, unless they are in dire straits. And sure enough, he lapped it right up.:thumbup: So for now, he's off his special diet & it's just anything I can get him to eat.

So, for now, he's eating & drinking:2thumbs: As soon as we got home, he went over to the pile of laundry, crawed his way up, and plopped down on top & crashed Guess he's had enough of being poked & prodded for one daypps:

When our big fury cat does too much prowling around outside and gets dehydrated we take him to the vet for an under the skin IV shots and he is full of lumps from the Iv fluid that the vet injects under his skin and this IV fluid always makes him feel better . We are glad that Teddy is improving each day:thumbup:

It's all good Man, remember the Doctor said it was one of the most successful surgeries she had done. I remember when our Puggle had surgery on his leg and was walking around like a Spyder on 3. Looked just like Teddy with his shaved leg. Give him time and slowly but surely he will start putting weight on it. What did the doctor say for recovery time? I'd imagine he wants you to keep him in check for a number of weeks before he's chasing Frisbees and sticks?

All things are good now

Yeah, Teddy's definately had the Y factor thing going on, thats for sure :2thumbs: Tonight was such a nice evening, I had to take him out for a ryde, and we stopped by Eden Park to check out the view and for him to hop around for a little bit, and low and behold, he had to go :clap: Ive never been so happy to see him go #2, but we were worried he'd end up constipated since it had been 2 days without going, but that's all over now :clap:
Yup, got orders to pretty much carry him everywhere for the next couple of weeks. It is cute tho, to watch him hop around on 3 legs when I set him down anywhere & of course he's like a lil lost puppy hop'n after his Papa :thumbup:

:agree::thumbup: That works for all of us... :2thumbs: Keep him healing and on the road! These things are always tougher on the parents...:shocked:

Good news about the Tedster. Hope he recoops soon! Have fun in Maggie Valley. We have to pass on it..'tis just too damn far for us to go.

We will meet somewhere,sometime, I m sure.

And, as usual,Kiddo sends the Tedster smooches (from Michigan!) She is with my wife Pat and grandson.:thumbup:

Glad to hear the pup is doing better. We have a 13 year old Min Schnauzer that has Cushing's Disease for about 6 years, diabetes for about a year now, and has just went blind due to cataracts. He (Sarge) is my bud too, so I know how ya feel. Glad hes doing good.

We'll work the logistics out eventually I'm sure :2thumbs: Teddy just met a lil PomaPoo wearing pink doggles last night, cutest lil thing, looked just like a baby Ewok & he seemed smit'n with her, so I'm sure he'd really enjoy meet'n Kiddo:2thumbs:

6/15/11*67F*Teddy is do'n ok*1st Negative Feedback

Wow, how our local weather here is changing. We've been in the high 80's & 90's for a lil while now, which is much warmer than average for our area. Over night lows were in the mid 70's, but not now. Got into the 50's last night:thumbup: & suppose to start having some showers/storms moving thru for the next few daysnojoke

As for Teddy, he's do'n as good as can be expected, tho he is showing more signs of pain & :yikes: discomfort now that he's gone thru his Major pain meds:joke: & is back on his regular pain medicine. He only got the GOOD STUFF for 2 daysnojoke I know last night, he kept waking me up licking his sore knee which worries me, cause it's not much for him to go from licking it to biting at it :lecturef_smilie: & if he starts that, he'll have to wear the dreaded E-Collar :yikes: & we don't want that :lecturef_smilie: Took him out Ryding a lot :2thumbs: the last couple of days, as it seems to help keep his mind off of his sore lil knee:thumbup: Its amazing, how the :spyder2: along with a cute lil dog Ryde'n shotgun brings down ppls defenses & total strangers will come up to you & treat you like family. Was Ryde'n thru a new development last night and met a wonderful family out in their driveway. Mom & Dad had a cute lil PomaPoo that looked just like a baby Ewok who just had a similar surgery as Teddy just about 4 weeks ago. She's now walking on all 4 :thumbup: & see'n her helped give me some hope:2thumbs: for TEDDYS recovery. The dad loved the :spyder2: & the Mom was taken with Teddy. They even had their 2 kids come out to look T the :spyder2: & Teddy, even brought out a bowl of water for Teddy:thumbup: Was funny, the mom wanted pics of Teddy with their lil Ewok, both wearing their doggles (she had pink) & the Dad ended up having to give the digital camera to their 10yo so she could figure out how to take the pic ya gotta love kids, their just so dang tech. savvy now a days :2thumbs: Great family, their son really liked the :spyder2::thumbup: We talked about Teddys rehab & they even gave me their instructions from their vet about doing therapy on their dogs leg, stretching and excercises:thumbup: TEDDYS vet didn't give us any of that and when I asked about rehab, she just stated that we need to get him using it as soon as possible, but that was all:lecturef_smilie: So I thank them for giving me these instructions :bowdown: as I figure it can't hurt to try and work with him a little:thumbup:

On another topic, I got my 1st negative :yikes: reaction from a total stranger yesterday as I was riding home from work:dontknow: Not sure if I did something, or the lady just didn't like TEDDYS Red :spyder2:, but she made sure to make it clear to me that she didn't like it I was on I75 S in Ohio & she had come onto the highway from an on-ramp up ahead. I guess she saw me in her mirror, cause by the time I got along side of her in the fast lane, I looked over and she was holding her arm up to the drivers window giving me a BIG THUMBS DOWN nojoke I was actually a little :yikes: shocked & had to close my mouth as my jaw dropped at seeing her reaction:yikes: No clue why:dontknow: but in over a year now, this was the first time anything like that has happened I just figure, you can't please them all:chill: Then again, maybe she's seen us before while Teddy was Ryding, and she was giving me the BIG THUMBS DOWN sign cause he wasn't with me:dontknow: No clue, but at least that I could understand

Anyways, VERY :yes: EXCITED to be leaving in the morning:thumbup: for Lamonts Bar-B-Q :2thumbs: Can't wait to meet you all & for you guys to meet Teddy Tho he's not gonna be his hyper lil self it's still gonna be a Great Time with Great People:firstplace:

Everyone, Ryde safe & arrive alive :2thumbs: See you soon:yes:

That's the international sign for "I'M JEALOUS"

 

[CyncySpyder]

Almost 8am & about to head to the Bar-B-Q

That's the international sign for "I'M JEALOUS"

Phil, :agree: & I like the way you think :2thumbs:

Teddy's leg has really started bothering him, now that he has gone 2 days without the stronger pain meds. Kept me up again most of last night licking it, which I thought wasn't a big deal, but come to find out, it is:yikes: I thought him biting it was the issue, but licking it is just as bad cause he can introduce germs to the incision & cause an infection:yikes: & you know where that road leads. So, back to the vet, got more pain meds & unfortunately the dreaded cone of shame just in case:lecturef_smilie:

I planned on leaving around 4 or 5 am but i was just to tired to make the long Ryde that early. Got a little more rest, Teddy has all his meds for the morning in him now, & we're about to head out. We're taking it slow & easy, especially since we're taking Teddy's dog house on wheels :roflblack:with us & are taking all backroads for the 6 hour trip:thumbup: to Lamonts:2thumbs:

Hope to see many of you in a few hours. Everyone, making the trip or not, please Ryde Safe & Arrive Alive:2thumbs:

 

[CyncySpyder]

We made Lamonsters Bar-B-Q 2011, just a lil late

WOW, WHAT A GREAT DAY!:2thumbs:

Kinda neat, we're camping out right now in TEDDYS dog house on wheels in Lamonts front yard :clap: We all just finished chat'n & said good night for the evening, & we're all camped out all over the place:yes:

Man, what hospitality:bowdown: & can that man throw a Bar-B-Q or what :firstplace: A BIG thank you goes out to Lamont and everyone else who helped put everything together:congrats: You guys did SpYderLovers proud :firstplace:

:bowdown:And none of this would be possible for Teddy & I without all of the support y'all have shown us :bowdown:

We got a late start, since we needed to get stronger pain meds for the trip, since his leg has been bothering him more. Many of you seen him hopping around on 3 legspps: & he's making it. Was so GREAT to meet & chat with so many of you :yes:& we still have so many more to meet :helpsmilie:

YOU people are what makes SpYderLovers such an AWESOME community :yes: THANK YOU

Teddy had a busy day today scmoozing & posing for his fans:2thumbs: He just had a lil mishap a few minutes ago, laying in the dark dirt, & he kinda got kicked (totally by accident) when someone went walking by. Very hard to see an almost all black dog, laying in the dirt in the dark:lecturef_smilie: But he got it right in the bad leg :gaah: I'm thinking he'll be okray: it just seeped a lil blood, nothing majorpps: Luckily, we have the GOOD pain meds, which I immediately gave to him :helpsmilie: & he's now laying right next to me, snoring his cute lil snore So I'm think'n he'll be no worse for wear when morning comes

& tomorrow we're off to the campgrounds with Deb & the gang to Maggie Valley:yes: Hope to get to meet so many more of you :2thumbs:

 

[CyncySpyder]

We made it to Maggie Valley

Was a lil late to Lamonts Bar-B-Q but we made it:2thumbs: & had a great time. Camped out at his place, then 4 of us followed him for an AWESOME Ryde from is place to Maggie Valleyhyea: That was an experience of a lifetime folks :thumbup:

We're camping with Deb & her husband, tho they left us this morning & we're on our own. Can be kinda hard to find a place to eat that has outside dining, so teddy & I can eat together. We just made a stop at a Little Caesars pizza that has some outside tables, so we're having pizza for breakfast :roflblack: even tho its almost 2pm now. Long day yesterday, so we slept in this morning. I was really sad, we don't have Internet at our campground, nor phone service, & I missed Lamonts email about a VIP Ryde that we missed this morning but ya just gotta roll with the punches, we're still having fun & making the best of it. About to head back to the fair grounds so Teddy can schmooz with his fans hyea:

It's been SO awesome seeing SpYders everywhere:yes: & meeting so many of the great Ryders as well :thumbup:

 

[cougar]

That awesome ride, was it the Bigfoot Highway? He had us go that route.

 

[CyncySpyder]

6/19/11*Teddy made it home from Maggie Valley

You know, they say there's no place like home:agree: It was an AWESOME trip, but I'm glad we're home:yes: Teddy is crashed on the couch right now half way under my legs curled up in a blanket

We left Maggie Valley last night after the festivities were over, around 9:30 or so. Stopped for a few hours rest around Lexington, & woke up to rain:gaah: Even pulling TEDDYS camper, the :spyder2:RT-S handles the rain superbly :firstplace:

I'm gonna join Teddy & crash myself for a little while, & I'll update more later today & add some pics too:thumbup:

Quick note, Teddy did well while we were in Maggie Valley:thumbup: but since it was raining on the way home, I put him in his enclosed carrier on the back seat of his :spyder2: so he would stay dry & warm. He doesn't like being enclosed:gaah: but it was best for him ........ So I thought:dontknow: Since he was enclosed, he didn't have to "hunker down" like he usually does at highway speeds, and with me being in full rain gear, I couldn't see what he was doing:dontknow: and sure enough, he went to town on his incision:yikes: He got it opened up a little bit & there was some blood around it I'm hoping it's ok & just looks worse than it is. I'll take him in to see his vet again tomorrow, & see what she thinks. I know he'll have to wear the cone-of-shamenojoke tomorrow when I leave to go to work & he's just gonna HATE that:yikes:

 

[CyncySpyder]

I have no clue

That awesome ride, was it the Bigfoot Highway? He had us go that route.

He was leading & Teddy & I was right behind him ...... Well, we "tried" staying right behind him I should say :roflblack: He said it was gonna be a nice leisurely Ryde thru the countryside to Maggie Valleyopcorn: Well, I'm really intrigued in what he would consider a "SPIRITED" Ryde, as we were in triple digits :yikes: try'n to keep pace & not lose him :yes: But I have to admit, IT WAS A BLAST:yes:

So, honestly, I have no clue what road it was:dontknow: But when I asked him how that Ryde compared to the "Tail of the dragon", he said it made the "Dragon" appear to be tame :roflblack:

 

[pierrelogic]

GREAT NEWS: SHE GAVE HIM THE GREEN LIGHT TO MAKE THE BAR-B-Q & MAGGIE VALLEY EVENTS!

This would not be possible without all of your support. SPYDERLOVERS ROCK!!!

That is one confident vet. I'd think it would be obvious after surgery like that to keep an eye on Teddy until he heals a little. Like you said...Teddy picking at it is the worst.

Sounds like the cone of shame may be in his future. Still, with the mohawk I don't think any others dogs will make fun of him. Teddy is :b2b:

It's only temporary too.

 

[Phil]

Teddy (and Dave).... Thanks for making us smile while we were in MV. For all to know, Tedster stole the show wherever he was.

BEST OF ALL he got total approval from my bride . Now... Time for healing...

I've been try'n to upload pics & vids from the weekend festivities, but it seems I've overloaded my computer & have run out of memory:cus: On the road from the Cherokee CampGround back to the Maggie Valley fairgrounds, the Memorial Ryde came right by us, so we stopped on the mountain road, & I video'd all the Ryders passing by us, many giving us the thumbs up:thumbup: was a GREAT site to see for an even Greater cause :2thumbs:

As soon as I get my memory issues resolvedpps:, I'll get them uploaded to share with all of you :thumbup:
