life, love and everything in between...: Goodbye Dear Iggy.....

Goodbye Dear Iggy.....

Dearest Iggy,

Please don't hate us for doing this. It hurts us more then you could ever possibly know. We love you very much and miss you already and you haven't been gone that long. This was the toughest decision I have ever had to make in my 31 years, 3 months & 6 days on this earth. We know it wasn't just you, that it was Finley too. We saw how she tormented you and how you just got fed up and reacted in the only way you knew how. She loved you but she is just too young to understand all things dogs. As far she was concerned, you were just like her stuffed animals but moved. She will miss you so much. I am sorry Penelope won't remember you, I am sure she would've loved you too.

I hope you find peace, happiness and love - one or another and can eventually forgive us for doing this. We have shed more tears then you could imagine, our hearts are broken and we are filled with so much sadness that words cannot possibly explain it all.

Much love, hugs + licks

Greg, Becky, Finley, Penelope

Quincy, Luci

Here are some photos of Iggy while we had him....

His first day home. Look how tiny he was compared to Greg's shoes! He was so cute and lovable back then.

Trying to lick my face. Iggy loved 4 people in this world: Me, Greg, Aunty Leslie + my Uncle Doug.

Iggy near the doghouse that Greg's stepbrother Neil built for him. It's in our garage. We will keep it forever.

Iggy doing what he loved best - sleeping on Greg....

Iggy in Kristy's purse. He did not like it.

Iggy wearing his most favorite sweater. Ok, ok you got me, it was my favorite sweater for him!

Iggy and Quincy sleeping on our bed. They both loved to sleep but otherwise hated each other. Iggy was smart enough not to ever mess with Quincy although it took awhile for him to learn that.
