Teddy is a 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in Franklinton , NC, who needs $2,000 for Corrective/Soft Palate Reduction.

We adopted sweet Teddy almost a year ago! The other family wanted to let Teddy go because that felt that they could not give Teddy the attention he needed. Well, we give Teddy ALL the attention! Teddy is our family. He comes on all our trips, including drives in our convertible and trips to Starbucks for a pup cup! My kids love Teddy and he sleeps in their bed every night.

Again, Teddy is our family. He is wherever we are. Family movie night, vacation, car rides. Everything! Teddy is truly our family and life without Teddy would be devastating with me and my kids. He is very special and no one can replace Teddy.

Teddy and I have a special relationship. He is my shadow. If I get up, if I go anywhere, Teddy follows his mommy (me). Teddy also loves his siblings (my daughters, 7 and 12). Teddy sleeps in the bed with the girls. Now that he has not been feeling well, he is sleeping in my bed.

Since December 23rd, I noticed Teddy swallowing constantly, drooling from one side, and not able to bark. Since he is deaf (since he was 2) he doesn’t bark much. So long story short, it took weeks, but they finally found a laceration in teddys mouth that goes into the larynx. He had stitches, but he needs the specialist to repair the palate. And obviously the CT scans as well.

I am a registered nurse, but recently, I had my hours cut (cut. While my husband does have a good job, all our money goes to bills, groceries, medical. (I have a heart condition which makes our medical bills astronomical.) We have spent over $2,000 already
