Teddi was born September 13, 1997 in Oklahoma where the breeder was breeding puppies for the Seeing Eye in New Jersey. I adopted her 18 months later as she did not pass the Seeing Eye test. She was a good companion to my late Mopsy.

Sullie was born approximately in January 2003. I rescued him from the Delaware SPCA on August 26, 2003 as his time was up. He was named after the first dog my dad raised for the Seeing Eye. My dad chose him from three other black labs. The same day upon arriving home with the dogs, my dad had a heart attack and passed away.

On 13 May 2006 comes the news:

It is with great sadness that I must tell you that Teddi died on May 11, 8:00 p.m. Tucson time in the emergency hospital. Very sudden she became weak and after many doctor consultations, it was diagnosed as cancer of the spleen which had already spread to her lungs. She was bleeding internally and fading fast despite IV and blood transfusions. I bid a tearful goodbye and she died.

She was eight years old. Sullie misses Teddi very much and so do I.
