My Bestest Bud!!!

Travis: One of my 3 dogs is getting "old". We just realized that she can't hear well or at all. When we say her favorite word "goodie", there is no response. She was always very competitive with our 6 year old female lab, but now they have become friends. I think the lab knows that there is no alpha left in "Tango". But I take them out to play with the tennis ball that is the lab's favorite game, but I make sure Tango doesn't overdo. Tango was my passenger and thousands of miles up and down California, and even once to British Columbia. She would be in my hotel room and let me know when someone was walking by outside. She would be in my office, making sure no bad guys came in. Thank you for letting me talk about her; I need to make sure she feels loved until the end, just as she loves me. It's sometimes easy to overlook the old dog who hangs back in favor of play with the younger ones.

Oh Travis I'm so sorry to hear of Ziggie's passing.  Not easy I know.  He was beautiful or should I say quite handsome .  I'm very sorry for your loss.

I had a dog that tired to tell me it was time and finally just laid down on his cushion......being able to say good-by is important to use and them.

What a beautiful dog!   We had a Weimaraner many years ago.  They are wonderful dogs.   So sorry for your loss.

Ziggie sure was a beautiful pup and I can only imagine your loss and sorrow.  I've lost a couple that were like kids... I still think of them years later.  I dread the day our Mini Schnauzer Dixie leaves us.... I'm not sure we will be able to get another one after her.

I'm very sorry for your loss.  I've lost many pets over the years and it's always hard. 

Travis, i am sorry about your beloved pet and they become almost like children to all of us...what great pet memories you have and great times i am sure.

Sorry for your loss, He was a beautiful dog! Treasure your memories.

I'm so sorry about Ziggie, Travis.  Sounds like he was a great dog and friend - I'm glad you have those great photos and some extra time with him in the end.

Had one of these great breeds for 12 years. He was a character. Too many stories. Glad you have great memories and pics

Travis~ Wow...I wish you and your family the best...There are no words I can think of other then I am sorry for Ziggie's decline.....Best of luck with holding up and keeping your strength through this difficult process....I wish you the best....

Trayou vis,

I'm sorry for your loss. Ziggie was very special, I can see that in those photographs. Truly, he was a magnificent creation and I know it's not going to be the same. He wasn't just a pet, he was FAMILY.

The loss of a pet is so emotional. May you find comfort knowing provided Ziggie with 75 years of love too.

Hello Travis -- What a beautiful dog -- I'm sure Ziggie is missed but you must have some wonderful memories.   Be well.

Travis ~ Ziggie looks like he was a very sweet boy ... and I'm sure you all miss him terribly.  There is just nothing like the bond between a dog and his "people," is there?   When my little Darby was close to the end at 15-1/2 yrs old last year, he tried to hang on ... I think they just want to keep us from getting upset.  So glad that you had time to spend with him to say Goodbye.

Travis  I used to have 2 W's...great dogs and family.  We lost our Golden in October 2010 and her ashes are still in my office.  The local vet came to our home and she passed in our bedroom with me singing to her.
