Condolence mails - Teddy
I was overwhelmed to receive so many words of comfort and even in great sadness
it makes me happy that Teddy was that much loved and appreciated, esp. from those families who have
Teddy-children, grand- and great-grandchildren.
Living on in his offspring makes him "still being around" !

Hi Edith,
I am Ana , I have a beautiful 3
years old leonberger, Mirabelle, she is a grand daughter of Teddy
and she makes the joy of my family . Teddy lives in her and in all
his other off-springs who are making the joy of a lot of people
thanks to you .
I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost
my other dog in february, my 13 years old companion Chipie and I
know the pain and the emptiness we feel after they leave us .
I am sending you a picture of
Mirabelle last Christmas .

Dear Edith, I try several times to call you since yesterday night, but it’s o.k. I will try again.
I am SOOOOOO sorry, soooo sorry! When you came with him at home I remember how he was happy to play in the snow, crossing from bank to bank of snow. He was sooo happy!!! You remember the last mating with Yuta??? She decide to lay down….she is as crazy as him. He was the only dog I know who put his tail in the enclosure of a door to have it broken!!! All people who come home were received by this happy dog who lick everybody with anthousiasm and love.
His temperament was chaotic, but what a beautiful temperament!!!! He
was not at all this silent dog, he want this or that and tell people
about it!!!
He gives to the litter he produced in Canada this special
temperament he has, lots of intelligence and a lot of his craziness.
Alexandra, Alou, Chan, Dax, Chloé and Florence, Georgia, Angie, Galardo has this sparkle star in the eyes from Teddy. Look at all other leos, you will never see that sparkle star in their eyes. Only Teddy’s children has it. Don’t forget, Teddy lives on all his children and grand children and great grand children!!! PARTS OF THE EMAIL ARE VERY CONFIDENTAL - SO THIS PARTS ARE CUT Take good care of you, my dear Edith and cuddle the girls for me Lots of kisses and love = mail from my friend Pauline -

Hi Edith
I'm so sorry to hear about the
lost of grand-pa Teddy, it seems like this one was immortal. he's
always been around our conversations and our taught of what a leo is
all about. You're in my every taught, I know how you feel. Even if
you were preparing yourself to the eventuality of loosing him,
reality still hit us very hard. I felt the same for my old Indy and
I still think of him often, he's been around for so long but still,
not long enough. I hope you'll get better soon Edith. Take care of
your girls intensly now. Think only of the best of Teddy, what else
can you do anyway, he was and remain simply the best... but Sami is
challenging this title you know ;-)
I also want to let you know that
it's been confirmed last tuesday that Chan is pregnant... so you see,
life goes on and Teddy will live again through those pretty pups.
Since it's my first litter, want do you say if I name my first boy
Teddy in his honnor, only I have to find something with a A to put
in front of it... like Astonishing teddy, Adorable Teddy or maybe
you find something in german and tell me. Only if you want and
think it's a nice idea.
We all hug you tenderly Edith.
Bye
Isabelle

Edith, je suis de tout coeur avec vous et je vous embrasse bien fort ! Bien amicalement, Gérard -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hallo Edith,
es tut mir sehr leid,
daß Du Teddy jetzt auch verloren hast. Obwohl er ja für einen
Leonberger ein tolles Alter erreicht hat. Wir fühlen mit Euch und
denken an Euch. Teddy scheint seine gute Kondition an seine Kinder
vererbt zu haben. Samson ist nach wie vor fit und guter Dinge und
hat Spaß mit seinem neuen Kater.
Viele liebe Grüße
Sigrid

Edith, my friend….. I am so very sorry to read about Teddy—I know how much you loved him.
I have learned through the years that words can help, knowing you
have friends that care how much you hurt, but we are each on our own
when it comes to those moments alone when our minds begin to work
overtime.

Frau Steffen, meine Lebensgefährtin und ich, natürlich auch unser Boomer, möchten Ihnen unser Mitgefühl zum Verlust Ihres lieben Teddy aussprechen. Wir können es nur allzugut nachvollziehen, wie schwer der Verlust für Sie ist. Es ist schön zu wissen, dass er in Ihren Armen lag, als er über den Regenbogen gegangen ist. Alles Liebe, Ihr Andreas Tilgner |
Edith
There are no words to express my
sadness for you. Even though Teddy lived a wonderful 12 years,
there is never enough time or ways to be ready for a loss like this.
Teddy left behind some wonderful children and grandchildren.
I hope and pray that he adds his longevity to these babies. If he does he will make more people as happy as you have been for so many years. I have no words that can comfort you. I am sending you a poem that was sent to me when I lost Hannah. I really felt this poem in my heart and wanted to share it with you. I am sending you many hugs and want you to know I understand the depth of your pain. Lori, Bogie, Savannah and Aliz and of course Hannah in sprit. The native American Prayer is shown on next site |

| Dear
Edith, I so enjoyed all the pictures of Teddy. I am so so sorry that you have that last memory. He seems to have filled your life with such goodness and love. I know we all wish for the perfect ending or no ending at all. The one thing for you to remember is that you were with him and holding him. I admit it has made me cry. Because of Teddy, you have become the leo lover you are and brought so much truth and help to the animal lovers world. My heart goes out to you. love from Liz Coleman Albear and Ellie |
Dear
Edith, I'm so very sorry to hear of Teddy's passing. I know that he was not just a Leo that you owned, but part of you. I'm sure it will take a very long time for the pain to lessen, and of course it will never go away, nor should it. A bit of the pain will always stay with you to remind you just how much you loved him and how much he is missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you Edith. Love and hugs, Becky |

Oh Edith
I am so incredibly sorry for
the loss of your beautiful boy. He lived a full and wonderful life
and his legacy will go on. I wish there was something I could do or

| Ach
Edith, es tut mir so unendlich leid. Mir laufen auch gerade die Tränen. Ich kann so gut nachempfinden wie Du Dich fühlst. Es ist egal wie alt ein Tier wird, es ist immer zu früh! Der einzige Trost für Dich ist, daß er jetzt krank war und es das beste war, was Du für ihn tun konntest und mußtest. Du hast es so schön geschrieben: Er hat viele wundervolle Nachkommen, und vielleicht hast Du ja irgendwann die Chance einen Nachkommen von ihm zu bekommen. Das wünsche ich Dir so sehr! Ich werde Dich nicht anrufen. Melde Dich, wenn Du Dich danach fühlst. Darfst Dich ruhig ausweinen. Ich kann das gut verstehen... Ganz liebe Grüße, Stephanie & Leos |
Dear Edith.
I have tears reading this. It is
simply too emotional. So reminds me of the losses I have had. I am
so sad for you and for Teddy. It is such a difficult and helpless
position to be in - holding the very dog that you love so much as he
struggles to live.
I almost need to be given a
sedative in those situations, because it simply overwhelms me.
You have had too many losses dear
Edith. Do you think we ever see our old friends again? I have
often felt, if they are not on the other side when I pass over, I am
not staying!
your sad friend..

Dear Edith -
While Teddy was
privileged to have long years of quality life here with you,
I am sorry to hear that he has left to cross the Rainbow Bridge. May he find Luca and my Teddy for many days of play, until we can meet up with them again.
You have done so much
for the breed and dogs in general - I hope the pain in your heart
eases soon.
Much love - renee and
the boys (and Anita - yet another stray)

Dear Edith;
What a sad message to read on the US Leo list.
I
am so sorry for your loss. I know that you - in spite of your sorrow
- are able to think of all the good things you and Teddy have done
together, and that he now is where he is supposed to be after his
long service on earth. He served you well. You served him well.
Take care my friend. My prayers goes out with you, and I send you my
warmest thoughts and wishes.
I
know how much you loved him and how proud you were of him.
Love,
Randi

Hello Edith,
I just received the news tonight
about Teddy's passing. I'm so sorry and saddened. I am sending you a
BIG hug......There are no words I can possibly say to help heal your
broken heart.
Please try to find comfort in
knowing Teddy lived a wonderful, happy life with you. He still
lives on thru his offspring and thru the many happy memories you
have of him.
I'm so sorry to hear that it
happened on Easter Sunday.....Now, every Easter will be a bitter
reminder of Teddy's loss.
You know that you made the best
decision for Teddy...There was nothing else you could have done for
him. Your final act of love, was letting him go.....I'm sorry to
hear, that even that was not as peaceful as it should have been. I
feel your pain...I really do.....
Please try to be strong for Angie
and Gipsy...I know it will be hard. But, they look to you for
guidance and reassurance that everything will be OK.....
Remember, it's OK to cry too!! We
are crying with you.....:-(
Take Care, Love & Leo
Hugs....~Karen~

Oh, Edith....
I am so sorry. I am flooding my desk with tears as I write this note to you. I know how much he meant to you. Though you and I have never met, you are like extended family. I only wish you were close so we could talk and I could give you a hug.
Teddy lived a wonderful life with
you. I know you have given him extaordinary love and care. Yet even
12+ years is never enough to spend with the one you love.
You are right, what a legacy he
leaves all over the world. I am fortunate enough, to have his
wonderful Grandson Tanner...who i
cherish much in the same way you did Teddy. I cannot imagine life
without him. He is the light of my life, and we have Teddy to thank.
I am having difficulty putting my
feelings into words right now.
I have a heavy heart.
May Teddy rest in peace..God love
him. He stayed on earth as long as he could. Now he is your angel,
and will forever be next to you.
I wish I had more comforting words.
I promise that I will keep in touch and keep you informed of
Tanner's life. If you are ever in the United States,
we must meet.
HUGS to you Edith. Thank you for
telling me. My heart aches for you.
Linda

They will not go quietly (Author unknown) “They will not go quietly, the dogs who’ve shared our lives. In subtle ways they let us know their spirit still survives. Old habits still make us think we hear a barking at the door. Or step back when we drop a tasty morsel on the floor. Our feet still go around the place the food dish used to be, And, sometimes, coming home at night, we miss them terribly. And although time may bring new friends and a new food dish to fill, That one place in our hearts belongs to them…, And always will.” We understand your loss. Leonbergers are unique loving companions. The world is a better place because of Teddy and his extended leonberger family. May your wonderful friend rest in peace. Roger & Lynne. |
Oh, Edith, I am crying, for Teddy,
and you, and for every dog we both have ever lost. I am so sorry.
He will be happy again with the leo trio, with barry and angie. And
at least the girls have each other, thank goodness you got the
second girl or angie would have been alone. Oh, Edith, I will pray
for teddy's soul tonight.
Love, Mary --------------------------------------
Oh Edith, I cry for you on this sad day.
There's not really much
I can say except be comforted by the fact that he was one hell of a leo and had the best life and love from you a dog could want.
embraces Wilma

Liebste Edith, ich habe natürlich keine Ruhe gefunden, schließlich kenne ich Teddy aus seiner "Junghundzeit", kurz bevor er Jugendwinner in Amsterdam wurde. Alles, alles kommt wieder hoch, auch die Hunde, die wir bereits vorher gehen lassen mussten. Dieses Abschiednehmen ist ja so grausam. Auch wenn man vorbereitet ist, trifft es einen doch wie ein Keulenschlag. Du musst dich jetzt aber damit trösten, dass du all´die Liebe, die Teddy dir gab, zurückgegeben hast. Teddy hatte ein Riesen- glück, bei Euch gelandet zu sein, noch dazu wurde er "dein Hund", dein spezieller Freund und Gefährte. Er hatte ein Leben, was zu leben sich lohnte. Und in seinen Nachkommen lebt er weiter. Dass du dir das Ende anders vorgestellt hattest- ja, das glaube ich gern. Aber du warst -trotz aller Leiden- wenigstens bei ihm. George und mir war das leider nicht vergönnt.XXX-private&confidXXX Ich umarme dich deine Margret |
Hallo Edith und Joachim ,
Ja das ist wirklich sehr, sehr traurig Nachricht. Aber für uns
auch nicht ganz unerwartet. Es ist wirklich Traurig, aber dagegen über steht das Teddy bei Ihnen eines sehr schönes Leben mitgemacht und gelebt hat. Das bleibt uns immer in Gedanken. Und Edith, lassen wir nicht vergessen, ganz Tot ist Teddy nicht, er lebt weiter in unsere Gedanken, in die viele Bildern die wir haben und in seine Ebenbild, seine Sohn Brenko, lassen wir das nicht vergessen. Das ist eine von die schönste dingen die Teddy uns hinter gelassen hat. Und in die zukommst soll er sicherlich weiter leben, wann Gott es will, über die Kombination Brenko und Hiska. Las das unsere Ziel sein für Morgen , so das das Teddys Leben auch nach die Tot unsterblich bleibt. Liebe Grußes von eine Traurige Familie aus Belgien, Sohn Brenko und alle andere. |
