Ziggy

Have I ever talked about Ziggy?  He was my brother's dog...  a springer spaniel, he was the reason we got our springer spaniel - such a wonderful breed.

When my brother passed away it was my mom who took both of his dogs and has taken care of them for the past six years.  Pepper we lost last year...

This morning I called my mom to make plans to get together, she was sobbing and I knew something was wrong.  She told me Ziggy had fallen and she had to carry him into the house.  When I got there I knew he didn't look good, and that soon it would be time to say goodbye.

And so today - September 9, 2009 we said goodbye to Ziggy, I find solace in thinking he's up there hanging out with Joe again, though I can't help but feel like I lost a part of my brother...
