Teddi's Walkabout
Teddi’s Walkabout
I’m a psychologist with a busy practice. On Monday, June 3, 2019, I was in my office between appointments when I saw I had missed several calls from my oldest son, Alexander. I called and he was in a panic. He had taken his brother’s dog, Teddi, down from Flagstaff to Oak Creek Canyon for the afternoon, she had been off-leash and disappeared. I cancelled the rest of my appointments and raced 30 miles south to find this beloved dog. My other son, Christopher raced down as well. So, there I was, in a dress and sandals, hiking up and down the creek, climbing over guard rails, hollering her name and shouting questions at fisher-people and sun bathers.
