About Teeny's Friends

We provide toys for needy dogs! At Teeny's Friends our goal is to make sure that no dog ever has to go without the simple pleasure of chasing a ball or snuggling a plushie. Our mission was inspired by Teeny, my own rescue dog & our mascot. We raise toys through monthly toy drives & the sale of our One For One toy (when you buy one, we donate one). The toys we raise are then donated to rescue groups, animal shelters, and families in low income neighborhoods. Read on to learn how you can help us help needy dogs!

September Toy Drive & A Sick Poochie!

Sorry for the lack of updates; we have had an eventful week!
On Saturday we picked up the toy bins from Just For Pets. They are such great people! I actually stopped by there again today to pick up some treats from their bakery case. I went with carob brownies this time. The major action came courtesy of 4 A.M. this morning. Teeny woke us up making a gasping, hacking, honking noise. Having never heard of a reverse sneeze, I panicked. I thought he was either vomiting or gasping for breath. I gave him some Benadryl and stayed up the rest of the night so that I could wake him up every 5 minutes to check & make sure he was breathing and had a heart beat. (Ok, maybe I overreacted a bit...) This morning, he was very lethargic and generally sad looking so we decided to take him to our vet, the Spicewood Springs Animal Hospital, for observation for the day. We found out about the aforementioned reverse sneeze and learned that I gave him a tad too much Benadryl, causing the lethargy this morning. He is at home now catching up on his sleep. Whew! Above are some pics I took of him snoozing in a basket of clean laundry.
