Hello, I'm Gipper

We think that we lucked out adopting this little guy

Gipper's Story

Teddy (originally named Gipper) has been an amazing addition to our little family.  After 25 years and 5 cats (one is still with us) we decided it was time for a puppy.  Teddy is amazingly well behaved and mellow.  In fact we were walking him in the park and a professional dog walker asked if he was a puppy or an adult dog as he was so good on the leash and well behaved.  He loves going with us and our orange tabby, Sonny, to our cottage in Michigan.  He enjoys running along the lake and is very close to jumping in the water.  He ventured close but was hit by a big wave which scared him.  He sleeps through the night and is quickly becoming housebroken.  We bring Teddy to our office everyday where he has become very popular.  We think that we lucked out adopting this little guy – he’s amazing.
