Teddy
On Thursday August 27th my dear, sweet Teddy took his much deserved place in doggy heaven. Teddy was ALWAYS there for me through all the good and bad times over the last decade, he truly was my best four legged friend. I was so blessed he came into my life, he was a rescue but he actually truly rescued me. My entire family will miss him dearly.
All of these beautiful portraits were taken by my dear friend the talented Christopher Ameruoso http://www.chrisaphoto.com/ whom Teddy loved working with.
He had such expressive eyes and was such an old soul.
What a ham!
Celebrating one of Teddy’s B-days!
Teddy right next me, whenever cameras were around, he was always ready to strike a pose.
On our way to an event all dressed up!
Teddy posing with me for a magazine article.
A tribute a fan did to Teddy, so sweet! Thank you Cathy!!!!
Teddy loved to come and do the red carpets with me at all different kinds of events, he was a great date!
Teddy was the leader of the pack, he loved all his furry brothers and sisters! They’ll miss him so much and so will I!
Very sad about Teddy. You gave Teddy a good life. You did what was best for him, given the circumstances. The disadvantage of having “fur babies” is that they leave too soon! Condolences…
Made me cry! Reminded me of when my boy and girl kitty passed in 2007 two months apart!
I’m so sorry for your lost Jillian. I use to love seeing Teddy on good day la with you and I loved how he use to lay there with you while you did the “news”. Teddy seemed like a really great dog and I will miss him. He is now one of your angels now watching over you. Again so sorry for your loss Jillian ;(. Rip Teddy.
Your tribute to Teddy made me cry because I always watch channel 11 and I can see how much love and care you have for your Teddy. One thing for sure is that he is not a camera shied at all
This site for Teddy was so sweet & very touching. I loved watching Teddy on the show with you in the mornings. You could tell that the two of you had a special bond. God Bless! I’m so sorry for your loss. I know he will be missed dearly but very blessed to have a family that loved him so much!
Jillian…we’ve watched GDLA for many years now. My family and I would look forward seeing him with his fowhark…and we would laugh and say that he looked so much like his uncle Rick Dickert. LOL May he rest in peace. And let his memory live on.
Hi Jillian!
I have been on vacation but recieved your tweets about your Teddy. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Last year, I lost my best friend, my cat Mickey who was 13. He followed me everywhere. I ended up getting his paw prints tattooed on me on what would have been his 14th birthday. Just know he is happy and playing around where he is and someday you will meet again. I have that hope everyday. It’s been a year and I still miss my Mickey so much. I know it’s hard but know that Teddy was so blessed to have you in his life. You gave him an AMAZING life and there is no doubt he was the happiest little guy!!
Thanks for making my mornings by the way. Love GDLA!
Love always,
Becky
Very touching and sweet tribute! I am the same way when it comes to my animals. I have 4 of my cats ashes and it helped my family to have them home. Its really hard and it gets easier or maybe you just get through it some how. I wish you all the best….Love Trish
All those pretty pic that you have of Teddy will bring you comfort and you will always remember what a wounderful team you both were!!! Your the best and your heart is made of gold for everything you did for him.. Love you your biggest fan TCotton or butterfly03 on Twitter
Jillian. I am soooo sorry to hear that Teddy has passed. We will all truly miss him. I feel like he’s an honorary member of my morning family. In feb I adopted my little Valentino mostly because he reminded me so much of Teddy. I wish you and your growing family all of the best. Hang in there.
Great Tribute! xoxo Teddy xoxo
This is great! You were such a good mama to him! When my husband and I moved from LA to Chicago five years ago, we contacted DirectTV the day we moved in so we could order the Fox west coast feed so we could continue watching you (our fave) on the news — it was always the best when Teddy was there with you! You’re blessed to have all that on-air footage of him to look back on when the time is right. The best to you and your family during this time. xxoo
What a sweet tribute to Teddy! I know what it’s like to have such an awesome furry friend & then lose them. It’s so hard, but the love you get from them is worth all the pain of losing them.
Whoever in our family would see Teddy first when he was on GDLA, we would yell, “TED-DEEEEE!” and everyone would come running. Our favorite was when he would stand in front of the screen and look like he was surfing or mountain climbing or something! Hilarious! It would always make the day go better to see Teddy in the morning. We loved him very much! Thank you for sharing him with us! Much love, Brian, Christine & Trevor
Awwwe Jillian..Teddy was your first baby.. He was so adorable..My dogs are my babies too..I’d be lost without them..Teddy is looking down after momma and the Reynold’s family wagging his furry white tail!
so sorry to hear teddy passed. I loved seeing him on T.V.I know it hurts to lose a pet, they are family members with fur,who just love us for who we are.
awe Jillian, you did it to me again, made me cry. Teddy was something else. he definitely put a smile on my face when i knew he was on. gr8 tribute to him and well deserved, he was awesome. i miss him too.
What a wonderful tribute Jillian to your little man. He knows how much you loved him. It’s hard to believe he’s gone. I wish our 4 legged friends lived to be 100 and we lived to be 99 so we wouldn’t have to live one day without them. Take care
Just want to share with you that your relaitionship with Teddy is what made me want to get a dog, so I got got 3. I never new love like this I have children and thats different but this is special thank you Teddy and Jillian. rip
Jillian so sorry to hear about Teddy I know what you are going through. Your pets are a very special part of your family but remember that up there he is free from pain and watching over all of you.
Loved this tribute to Teddy, I also had to make the hardest decision ever on Aug 18th. My first baby (my cat) I had her for 19 years and I miss her so much. I totally know how you feel. I’m so sorry for your loss, I watch your show all the time and I loved it when Teddy looked as if he was giving Steve dirty looks!! So sad crying as I type.
I know the pain you feel for your loss, I’ve lost a few pets myself. You gave him a great life and did what was best for Teddy.
Things will look brighter soon.
Teddy he was an old soul just look into his eyes. We had to put down our Puggy Sept 12th 2008,he was 17. Just like Teddy , Puggy was too an old soul who loved us dearly. We also rescued Puggy when he was just 3 months old. We soon found out that we did’nt rescue this lil dog he rescued us. My husband and I loved watching Teddy in the mornings, we would laugh and say how much Teddy remined us of our Puggy, just laid back and chilled. Thank you so much for sharing Teddy with us, he felt like part of the family and we will miss him very much. I can imagine your Teddy and my Puggy running together big pimpin’ in the big doggie park with all the bitches wantin’ some!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jillian Grant & Ruby. We will never forget Teddy. Gary & Sheri
Jillian…I’m so sorry to hear what happened to teddy, but I’m glad that you had all those years to enjoy with him. He was the sweetest, cutest dog, and so well behaved. All the photos made me cry. Made me realize how much I had grown to love him just watching him on tv with you. Teddy’s made me want to rescue a terrier!
I also wanted to say that you guys are awesome for doing the adopt a pet segment! Love you on GDLA!
Take Care,
Sara
Oh Jillian - I am so sorry to hear of Teddy’s passing. I can’t stop crying. He was so beautiful and loyal to you. I admire you much for taking care of the animals as you do. Prayers for Teddy, you and your family. Congrats re: baby # 2 on the way
Thank you for sharing these pictures…You and Teddy were blessed to find one another…
Awww….Jillian, our fur babies are always our first babies. Pets truly teach us the meaning of unconditional love. Thank you for sharing Teddy & yourself with us!
Jillian - I am so very sorry for your loss. Everyone who watches GDLA knows how much you loved Teddy. I enjoyed each day you brought Teddy to work with you… and was totally annoyed as you were when ‘they’ would no longer let him sit on the desk with you.
You are an amazing human with so much love to give to animals. The photos are beautiful. I hope your pain eases as time passes. Teddy will forever be in your heart, as well as in all of ours.
RIP Teddy.
Julie

Debbie Carey
Jillian sorry to hear about Teddy. I saw him often on the show. I have lost dogs in the past and feel your pain. Lots of prayers and well wishes go out to you and yours. Congrats on the pending arrival.
Jillian, reading and seeing the photos of Teddy made me tear up and reminded me of when I had to relieve my dog and kitty of their pain. It still hurts and they passed 14 and 10 years ago respectively. Be grateful you had the tine you did with him and remember the love and joy he brought to you.
Best regards in this trying time
Sincerely Gilbert
Jillian, What a beautiful Tribute to your Teddy…he was blessed to have you as his Mom! Our family has watched you on LA since the mid nineties! We will miss you and your lil guy together. We used to love how he would follow you over to tell the weather and sit and wait for you to finish. We had noticed that he started staying in his chair of honor while you were giving the weather and wondered if he wasn’t feeling like his old self. You gave him a wonderful home and many, many cherished moments with beautiful, loving, caring you!! You and Teddy had a very Special Bond! Teddy will ALWAYS be watching over you and your lovely little family. We all love you! We knew that you would be an AWESOME MOM by the way you took such excellent care of your Teddy Boy!!! The Bickler Family :O)
Hey Jillian,

Take care,

Every dog has an angel. You were his. And from what you’ve said…he was yours. You were both so good for each other. Hold onto all those special moments. They are priceless!!!
Jillian, I just now heard about Teddy! That’s so sad! I loved that little guy. Seeing him watch you do the weather was always fun. I’m so sorry for your loss. You have such a big heart and so much love for your furry family, I can’t imagine how painful this must be. But he blessed you for a decade. One day you’ll meet again on the Rainbow Bridge. Many hugs and blessings, my dear.
