Gigi

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Gigi girl. Hope Buttons, Bows, and Beamer threw a big party for you!

wings

Yesterday Gigi got her wings! Thanks to Willow over at catster for doing it for us.

BTW, I wanted to mention how Gigi got her nick name. After her arthritis got bad, she didn't get up very much. So when we'd come home and the rest of the dogs ran up to us, she laid in her bed and barked until we walked over to her. Then she'd just wiggle around in excitement. So I began calling her wiggle worm at those times. Others would ask why I called her that and after I explained, the name caught on and I'd hear others call her that too.

goodbye sweet girl

Gigi didn't appear to be feeling good for a couple days. We thought she just had an upset stomach at first. On Sunday we knew it was something much more serious. We got her to the Vet on Monday morning and later were told she had a massive heart attack. X-rays showed a possibly cancerous mass in her chest which might have been the cause of the heart attack. They said her organs were shutting down and our rescue didn't want her to suffer any longer. She will be coming home to us tomorrow. We know she is now in a better place free from all the pain she's endured and once again able to run free. I look forward to meeting you again baby when my time to cross over comes.
