PEDIGREE
TEMPERAMENT
Tesla was born April 22, 2016 to Howdy and Kali, bred by me. He was the last one born out of 9 and weighed 15.4 oz. He was white collar boy from the Earth Day Litter. Tesla was born when George had lung cancer, and we had plans of him being his service dog. Tesla did not turn out as a service dog because of his love for all humans. He had a real hard time focusing on George. Instead he was given a job as a therapy dog where he excelled.
Tesla had a heart bigger than any dog ever and shared it with every vet he met. He had an amazing ability to sense who needed him. He would go directly to them and sit at their feet. He healed so many veterans if only for a moment. Something like that is not taught, it is born.
My beautiful boy. The happiest most lovable dog I’ve ever owned. Every day he was filled with joy! Always talking, wooing, and shaking his tail so hard that his whole butt moved. He always slept on the pillow next to me. I would wake up throughout the night and he would be gazing in my eyes, and then I would hear the happy thump thump of his tail. He was my everything.
February 1st he didn’t want to eat breakfast and had laboring breathing. I thought maybe he had a blockage cuz he was a toy eater. We took him to emergency and found out he had a tumor bleed on his spleen. Shortly after we were saying goodbye and we helped him cross the bridge.
I miss him every single day. The nights are the hardest. He was only seven and a huge presence in my life. I love you my sweet Bubbie. Tesla has three priceless vials of Frozen semen. Only very serious inquiries.
