IN LOVING MEMORY
Our
beloved Tiggy crossed the Rainbow Bridge in the early morning of May
22, 2009, when he peacefully drifted off to sleep while surrounded by
his loving family.
This
picture was taken of Tiggy less than 11 days before his passing -- this
is the Tiggy we knew and loved and will love for the rest of our lives.
Tiggy was joy -- pure and absolute utter joy.
***
Sweet Tiggy --- We will NEVER forget your precious smile and beautiful spirit.
LOVING YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
Mommy, Daddy, Bogie, Dee & Richie

TIGGY'S STORY
(as told by him)
My
name is Tiggy. I'm originally from Kansas but now reside in Burnt
Hills with my beloved family. My former mommy got too sick to take
care of me and was forced to give me up - that's how I ended up in a
shelter. Lucky for me one of the volunteers at the shelter in Kansas
had a relative who ran a Boston Terrier rescue so I only had to spend
one night alone in the shelter. My foster/rescue mom posted pictures
of me on-line (thank goodness for PetFinder!) and that is how my new
mom and dad found me - that was four years ago; however, it seems like
I have been a member of the family forever! I have a doggie brother
Bogie (who likes to boss me around) and a doggie sister Delilah (who is
also a rescue doggie; she is young and likes to play a lot so she has
been helping me keep in shape!). I also have a kitty brother Richie;
he's almost 19, which is pretty old, so I try not to bother him. I
have everything a doggie could ever dream of having and I think I am
the luckiest dog in the world. Were it not for the rescue that took me
in and for people like my mom and dad who believe in adopting
shelter/rescue dogs, I do not know where I would be today. So, please,
help change the life of another dog like me and adopt a shelter or
rescue dog today!
My
mom says I am the cutest, sweetest, funniest dog in the whole world
(sometimes she says on the entire planet - I don't really know the
difference) and she always seems to have a camera pointed in my face.
She probably has a million pictures of me; I try to do a different pose
every once in while so they aren't all the same! I've put together a
slide show of some of my favorite shots; I hope you find me as cute and
irresistible as my mom & dad do!
Well, I have to head off now as I am long overdue for a nap!
Hugs,
Tiggy LaValley

BOGIE'S STORY
(as told by him)
Okay
...
I admit it ... I'm not a "rescue" doggie - please don't hold that
against me!; my mom and dad adopted me from a local breeder way back in
1999 (before they knew how great rescue was!). My mom said that when
she was growing up she was always a "cat person" but that I changed her
life forever - she still loves kitties, I'm sure, but when you have a
dog as perfect as me how can you go back?! As
far as age goes, I am the "middle" child; however, I've been a member
of the family the longest (well, except for Richie "the cat" - he's
really old and [in my mind] doesn't really count because he's just a
cat!) so, because of that, I consider myself the "boss" around the
house! My mommy sometimes calls me Bogie the Bossy Boston, which I
take as a compliment because that means I am doing my job! Don't tell
anyone ... but, despite the fact that I try to act really tough
sometimes I am really a softie who would like nothing more than to
cuddle up next to mom and dad every chance I get! Yes, it's true ...
me and Dee some times do not see eye-to-eye; to be honest, I think she
is real pretty and very cool but I have to keep up appearances and be
bossy at times with her! Oh ... it is very hard being me!
Well,
I better head off - Tiggy and Dee are resting comfortably right now and
I think it's time to wake them up and cause some trouble! I may
complain and be bossy a lot but I wouldn't want to be anywhere but with
my beloved family - they are awesome and I know that they love me more
than life itself. So, I guess life is pretty darn good :-)

P.S.
Oh yeah ... after viewing the slideshow I put together I am sure you
will see why I find it acceptable to be a little bossy -- they really
do not get much more handsome than me! |

RICHIE
In Loving Memory
Richie passed away peacefully in the early morning of November 3, 2009
****
Richie is our 19 year old kitty (a/o 2009). Richie loves coming up a night after the doggies have gone to bed and will spend countless hours purring away on Joe's lap!! He may not be the puffy, somewhat chunky, long-haired kitty he once was, but he still enjoys life and I think even enjoys the ocassional "fondling" from Dee -- she loves sniffing his butt! LOL |
