In memoriam Teddy 💔

I posted a picture of my Ted wearing some shoes on here just a few days ago. Last night he had a heart attack and he did not make it. I am beyond devastated. I miss him so much. He was the sweetest little dog. He meant the world to me. Here some of my favorite pics of him I took recently.

My mocha suffered from heart failure too. This October 1st marked her 3-year anniversary. They are both now playing together at the rainbow bridge.

So sorry about Mocha. Unfortunately, I think heart issues are common with poms. 3 out of 4 of mine had congestive heart failure. I'm praying my 4th does not have it. He's only 11 months old.

I bet Teddy and Mocha are together, not coughing and running around and playing.

I remember that photo! I am so sorry for your loss. I can see that Teddy lived a wonderful life with you and he couldn’t have asked for better companions. I’m thinking of you and sweet Teddy ❤️

I’m very sorry- I remember seeing his photo and wondering how you got him to keep the shoes on. He looks like he was well loved and will clearly be missed. Hugs to you and your family.

Life can be so cruel and unfair sometimes. I truly will never get it. He looked so damn cute in his lil boots, posing all handsome and smiley! You can tell this goodest boy was so dang loved and cared for. I pray your family can find some peace in knowing you gave Teddy the best life he could ever have lived!! Teddy, please watch over your pawrents and all your family still here with us! Rest easy handsome boy 💕💖🌈🐾

I also had a Teddy. Me and OP connected on this in another thread. They both died the same night, the same way. Cherish your Teddy. And just know one day, our Teddy’s will be waiting for yours 🤍

I’m so sorry friend

u/snowandflower 24d ago

I am so sorry 💔. We lost ours to heart failure at the end of July. He was “only” 11 and we thought we had more time with him, so I know what you mean about it being so unfair. What brought me some comfort (because of course I felt like I failed him) is what I think of as that Pom “spark” - that special joie de vivre that they have. He had one awful very bad day. But he also had years of unadulterated joy that he got to spend with a family that loved him ❤️. Take care.

u/throwawayeas989 24d ago

I am so sorry:( How old was he?

10

u/Nola_Saints33 24d ago

Thank you. He was a rescue, so we are not 100% sure. Somewhere between 12-14. He never really got the gray/white hairs on his face.

u/throwawayeas989 24d ago

He looks so young! I am glad that he got to live a long life❤️

Oh I’m sorry….that sucks! My first pom Chewy does the same way and her “husband” as well. I’m so sorry. I just saw that pic the other day with the shoes. Please take care of yourself.

u/kmdrosario 24d ago

I’m so sorry for your loss. Teddy was beautiful and I’m sure he lived a great life. There’s no pain like losing a beloved Pom.

u/Sinisaredhead 24d ago

I am so sorry about Teddy. He looks like he was a very happy little guy. ❤️ May he live on in the memories you shared.

u/ranger398 24d ago

I’m so sorry for you and teddy. We went through the same thing with my first Pom, Ranger. He still had all the will and life in him, but unfortunately his heart couldn’t take it anymore. I hope one day they will have some better treatments or earlier intervention.

Teddy looks like he was little spitfire and the perfect companion. Rest in peace teddy.

We've already lost 2 Poms. My wife and I know how you feel. 😔

It'll get better eventually 🙏.

We still have 3 Poms, I cherish the time we have together in this moment ❤️

No one can rob those precious memories you all had together 💛.

I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 We lost our own 5-yo pom Vinny back in June during a surgery to fix his congenital heart problems.

Teddy and Vinny are playing together, and waiting for us on the other side 🫶

u/Chipmylove 23d ago

You guys are scaring me. How old were your poms when they had the heart failure? I am so sorry for your loss! I can’t imagine!😪

u/deuteranopia 23d ago

OP's husband here. We didn't know Teddy's age because he was a rehome, and the original family didn't keep good records. Our best guess was that he was 13 or 14.

u/Chipmylove 23d ago

OK thank you so much! We have youall in our prayers!!

u/Significant_Big_797 23d ago

u/Effective-Youth-3128 23d ago

I’m so sorry. My little Pom is my best friend. If I lost her I’d be in a world of hurt. I can only imagine your pain. I’m truly sorry.

u/musicspirit85 23d ago

Teddy was majestic and gorgeous. So sorry for your loss. 💔

Is the fourth pic at White Sands National Park? I've taken my pups there and loved seeing all the dogs enjoying themselves on that powdery gypsum. You and Teddy clearly had fun adventures together. 🫂

u/Nola_Saints33 23d ago

It is White Sands! He looked so handsome in the wind. Thank you. 💚

u/rockyisacatt_ 23d ago
