I still often check the back yard and mountain, even after all these months. I know he's not there but it's a habit, and something that I think about often. It was such an emotionally and some times physicallly draining four months prior to his rescue-the worry, the searching, the early rising, and the waiting. It is sort of difficult to imagine at this point, that it went on for so long. We were just sooooo lucky to have gotten him at that time. I couldn't imagine knowing he was still running with winter coming again. I smile when I realize he will be warm, well fed, and loved this winter, and hopefully for many years to come.
The two things I am now certain of is that Teddy no longer runs on our mountain and he is no longer running in fear.
His family reports that "his personality has really developed now that he truly feels safe and secure. He especially loves to run around and play with us in the back yard." (Beats the heck out of running AWAY in my back yard )
It will truly be a great Thanksgiving for this guy, a very different one from his past. Just look at his photos-you can see a change!
So to all of the Friends of Teddy, Teddy's family, and of course Teddy himself-Happy Thanksgiving! And may you all eat too much! You go Teddy!
