Good-bye my sweet Ziggi

I wasn't going to post anything until tomorrow but I need to talk about it now.

Today is my last day with my sweet Ziggi, she will be crossing the rainbow bridge tomorrow morning. For the last few weeks, Ziggi has been deteriorating and she is having a very hard time. A mobile Vet came to the house on Thursday and examinied her and said she has heart failure and it seems her organs are starting to shut down. So, I made the decision to let her go and run free on the other side of the bridge.

It has been nice to have the weekend with her to say good-bye and snuggle as much as possible. To see her struggling to just get up, breaks my heart. She gets worse with each passing hour and I now have to use a towel to help her stand-up. I have been spoiling her all weekend with her favorite things to eat and tonight we are having hamburgers and french fries.

She is a sweet, gentle girl and I will miss my bestfriend terribly, but I know this is the right steps. I have been truly blessed to have her in my life.

It's never easy to say goodbye. :cry:

I'm very sorry. It is so hard to say goodbye :ghug:
So sorry, it is so hard.
I am so sorry this is happening. Trying to think of something to write through my tears. We arranged a day ahead to do the same with Pooh Bear. I was such a wreck that evening. I slept in the basement with him that night because he couldn't get up anymore. His organs were shutting down too. My heart goes out to you. Give Ziggi a big hug and kiss on her nose from me. I'm sure Pooh will be there waiting for her along with all the others at Rainbow Bridge.
Lots of hugs for you, too.

I am so glad you have had this wonderful weekend together and I wish you strength tomorrow and the surety of knowing you are doing the right thing at the right time.

I cherish our pictures of our last time with our Jake even though the stress on our faces is obvious. He loved his Wendy's meal too.

My heart is aching for you.
I'm so, so sorry to read about Ziggi.
I have no words but am shedding tears on your behalf.
Know that you are doing what is right for Ziggi even though it hurts you.

I have just taken my cards down, Ziggi looks a sweetheart xx
:ghug: to you Michele.

I lost Simon due to heart failure too. Knowing you are able to save her more pain and suffering does help...a bit. This morning will be really tough, hugs to you as you say goodbye to Ziggi.

:ghug: :ghug:
Thank you all for the hugs and well wishes. Ziggi crossed the bridge just a little while ago and it was very peaceful and beautiful. Knowing that it was her time to go and that I was saving her further difficulty is the one thing that makes this bearable.

Run free my sweet girl, I will come get you as soon as possible.
:cry: :cry: :cry:
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
I am so pleased it was a peaceful journey to the Bridge. Run free Ziggi, no more pain, your Mum loves you lots...xxxx

It must have been so hard to say goodbye like that.

:ghug:
I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. You did the best thing for your friend.
I'm so terribly sorry to hear of Ziggi's passing. Been where you are several times and it's never easy but always remember you did what was in her best interest. It's so hard to see our best friend's failing. Their lives are just way too short. Wishing you peace and brighter days ahead with loving memories of Ziggi.
:cry: :cry: :cry:

My thoughts always turn to all our beloved buddies who have crossed. Sweet Ziggi will be in great company :hearts:
I am so sorry to hear about Ziggi. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you work through this difficult time.

:( Only down side of loving anything is having to let it go.
It had to be a tough weekend. Hope you are doing ok.
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

So incredibly sorry for your loss :(
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

Thinking of you.
:cry: :cry: :cry: Run free Ziggy. Keep my boy Rags company too until we are together again. :ghug:
Michele, I am so sorry about Ziggi. I hope your heart stops hurting soon.
Michele, I'm so sorry for your loss of your precious Ziggi. She's got plenty of wonderful company over the bridge now, and you know she'll be waiting for you.
So, so sad to read this, and sorry for your loss. :ghug:
Michelle, Jen and I are soooooo sorry for your loss. It was wonderful that you did get to spend those last moments together. We too knew ahead of time when we lost Bentley. It some respects it horrible but in others it is a blessing. That last night with him in the house was one we'll never forget.

God speed Ziggi. We hardly knew you.
Vance and Jen
I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I thought she was a beautiful sheepie. Twelve years, I'm sure you have many beautiful memories to give you comfort.
I am so sorry for your loss. Our sheepie passed away 5 days before Christmas. My heart hurts and I cry daily but it sounds like they have some amazing friends over the bridge to give and that is helping me get through this tough time. That had to be such a hard decision to make.
Thu tears I read about your beautiful Ziggy, my heart goes out to you.
Joanne
Michele, I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Ziggy. It hurts like 'ell to lose a loved one but the pain does ease after a period of time and is replaced by smiles at memories.However, they are never forgotten because their spirits have left imprints on our hearts. Oh how we wish they lived longer but sadly we must continue on with only the memories of them forever in our hearts and in our minds.

Godspeed Ziggy you were a wonderful dog.
This is one of the most difficult times to go through. We went through it about 2 years ago and it is heartbreaking. we understand what you are going through. xoxo
So very sorry for your loss of your lovely Ziggi. Sending you love and good wishes. Ziggi will love Celyn when they meet at the Rainbow Bridge :ghug:
You have my sympathy. :hearts:
