Shaila & Carter, her
Yorkshire Terrier
My furry little puppy, Teddy
“Carter", came into my life 8 months ago, a joy I never
expected. At just under 2 pounds, he took his first train ride
in New York at just 2 months old, and 2 days later we jumped
onto a plane to head to my residence in L.A. I quickly realized
that I had a special bundle of energy on my hands. This puppy,
or "kid" as I like to describe him, never quits. He's constantly
running around and always so excited to meet new people and
other furry friends. His first friend was a bunny twice his size
named Bella. I'm convinced this is why he chooses to hop around
the apartment most of the time. Soon after he befriended a big
ole Pug named Penny. He quickly learned that though other
doggies may be stronger and bigger, he could eventually wear
them out.

The
biggest lesson I learned from Carter came the dreaded day I took
him to the vets to get neutered. Not only was he getting
neutered, but they were going to microchip him and pull out a
bunch of his baby teeth. When I returned to the vet office to
pick him up, I was prepared to see my little energizer bunny of
a dog all dopey and weak. To my surprise he was ecstatic to see
me and they said he had been bouncing around his cage for
awhile. That day I couldn't believe how happy the little guy
was. It was official…nothing could phase him. I just watched
him bounce around the house as if nothing was wrong and it hit
me. Carter was my little angel, my constant reminder to enjoy
life. Here's this innocent little creature that just had major
surgery, and yet all he wanted to do was run around, play, and
smother me with kisses. I realized that though my life had
thrown me a few curveballs, it was my choice how to live each
day. I could choose to be happy no matter what was thrown my
way. And now any time I'm overwhelmed, I can just look at my
little Carter and realize that I am truly blessed. |
