But back in 1972 I lived in Florida and stoped at a friends service station on the way home from work one evening and there was a cub bear. I ask Pat about it and he told me a customer had left it there. He was going to pick it up in the morning to have it declawed and defanged. So he could keep it in the apartment were he lived. I told Pat that I was taking it home with me as I lived out in the Ocala forest and have the guy call me. I had not heard from him in a week ahd ask Pat what happened he said that were he lived they would not let him have him there. He had a buddy that had a kennel of dogs and he could put him there. Pat had given him my phone number. Pat told me that the guy was not much. Well when I did here from him in about a month I told him what he owed me for food and up keep he said that if I wanted him he would bring all the papers up to Pat's for me. He had all the shipping and looked like owner papers so I took them. I got in touch with the New Yourk Zoo at the time and they told me what they thougth I should feed it and what shots that it might need. Well the raw meet Teddy did not like a all my wife had to cook it some for him to eat it. I took the info for the shots to our vet that we used and he order the vaccine. When it came in the girl called and said that Teddy's shot's were in and I took him down the next day. I left him in the car and went in and ask how to get around back and the girl said ALL pets had to come through the front. I said mam I don't think you-- and she said through the front and I said OK. So when Teddy and I came through the front door and Teddy stood up ( WELL ) well then we got to go around to the back. But the dogs and cats were still upset. But now 40 years later I had a lot left to learn. I loved Teddy. He was out side on a long runner chain. When I was home he ran lose and would not let me out of his site for very long. And now I know how come when I put water in the wagon he would sit in it and play all day long. He would rip open your shirt pocker and steel your cigarettes and eat them and spit out the filter. The NY Zoo said that was okay as the tobacco would be good for him!! Well Sir I will go for now as I am no good at this email stoff. If you are in the US and have I would like to call you as I have a verizon cell phone. As for what happened to Teddy. I fell 52 feet in 1973 and could not walk or work. I wore a boddy cast for a year. I could not afford to keep and feed him. A good friend of mine told me his uncle would keep him on there farm for me. when I sak about Teddy they said he was doing good. But when I was geting closer to wanting to go and get him. then they told me that his wife was afraid of him and they to him to Leesburg. So he was given to the wild animal park in Leesburg Fl. I never did go down there to try and see him as they said I could not get him back. But I have never forgit him. I do have a few pictures. Jay Gilliland Springville Tn. Helo Mr Wong
