Birthday:
April 1st 1999

Likes:
Mommy-lovin'!!! Some mornings I won't even take my treat until I've had some "mommy love". Also LOVE to be outside. I "check the perimeter", patrolling the fence.

Pet-Peeves:
BATHS!!!! Cats in "my" yard, loud noises, anyone or anything touching my butt (especially when I'm tired).

Favorite Toy:
I love them all, but since my birthday my fave is Pengie -- a stuffed penguin. When I'm really tired I'll even go into my crate to get Pengie so I can snuggle with him.....sigh.....

Favorite Food:
People food! Even salad....as long as there's dressing! Mom's proud cause I eat it right off the fork! Dingo bones & Choco-drops are my fave treats.

Favorite Walk:
The Oval at Ohio State University and around the neighborhood on weekend mornings with Dad.

Best Tricks:
Knowing just when Mom & Dad are done eating -- I pop up, looking for a treat!

Arrival Story:
We decided our first fur-child Pooh Bear needed a sister, so after checking around Mom drove to Tennessee (less than 24 hrs. after taking the redeye from Vegas!) to pick up Tigger. After the long drive home (7 hrs!) she emerged from the crate to meet her big sister (who was underwhelmed to say the least). They soon started to play together and Tigger has "kept Pooh Bear young" as she's got plenty of get up & go at age 10!

Bio:
We say that Tigs goes through life "with joyous abandon". She doesn't just jump off the bed, she launches herself, legs spread almost like a flying squirrel! She plays hard and sleeps just as hard (as you can tell from some of the photos!), to the point that it can take several minutes to wake her up (all the while she's grumbling and letting all know she is NOT happy!). In typical terrier style, she doesn't know her own size....hence her tendency to try to eat big dogs....like the Great Pyrenees in obedience class! She loves the outdoors, even when it's colder (hence the "Westie snowball leg" pic!)...she'll curl up on her pillow on the deck, surrounded by frost on the pillow, and would rather not come in....she's a true "Highland lass"!

Forums Motto:
I lived life with joyous abandon!!!

The Price You Pay....

This was posted on Mommy's Canine Cancer Yahoo group...it made her leak, but she had to share....

The Price You Pay

You could live your life,
As an island, alone,
Untouched by sorrow, fear or grief.
Fly to a city, go see a play,
Sip on a glass of Pinot Noir,
And sleep alone in a quiet, sterile bed.
Or you could reach out,
To family, lovers and friends,
Human and furry, the strong-hearted pals,
You could open your heart and let love in,
You could laugh, you could cry,
You could fight and play and hope and work and worry,
You could experience joy,
And Joy isn't safe like that aloneness.
Joy is vulnerable,
Joy from loving can be hurt.
Joy needs the valleys so you can sit on the peaks.
And you hurt when you lose, when you say goodbye,
To the one who brought you joy and love,
To that special one who made you smile,
To the one who gave so much and asked so little.
But a life without joy, without that special love,
Is more precious than gold,
And pain in the price you pay,
For having had joy.
It's just the price you pay,
And the Joy, the Love is worth the price.

Missing you....

Three years? It doesn't seem possible, Tig-Tig. I think of you every day, and Caleigh has so many of your traits...I have no doubt you had a paw in this one, puppykins!

I know you're with the Angels...and that you're keeping Grandpa & other family members company. Just remember we need a little visit from you now & then down here as it makes us miss you just a wee bit less.

Tonight when Daddy gets home, we'll light candles in the memorial garden and talk about the crazy things you used to do...and yes, we'll get a little teary remembering how loving you could be.

You and Pooh Bear keep watching over us, and if you could help Caleigh with the housetraining I'd appreciate it...LOL!

Love you always and miss you terribly....

Mommy

 

Two years....how can it be?

My sweet puppykins,

Today it's two years since we set you free to fly with the angels at The Bridge. Not a day goes by without thoughts of you...with time the pain has eased but I don't think it will ever go away completely.

This past year has been especially hard since I lost your Grandpa in June of last year. I hope you're entertaining him....and letting him know how very much he's missed and loved back here on earth.

I know you pop in to check on us. For one thing, now and then someone slips and calls Darby "Tigger". I finally decided that when that happens, you're near. Darby is so much like you it's amazing, but she's also her own nutty self. You sent us a "good'un", sweetie!

You visit others as well...your Auntie Brenda says her kitties get "skittish" sometimes, just like they would when we'd visit her. And when Fred takes your guy DT out for his evening "constitutional" there's often a splash in their neighbor's pool, but no one's there...and we all know how much you loved to swim. We won't get started on the Yapple Balls that "go off" by themselves...too many instances to count! I have to admit I was glad when the battery failed on ours...it was a little strange to hear a cow moo or rooster crow at 3 am!

You have powers I never realized. Like the solar spotlights I have in your memorial garden. There are multiple lights plugged into the same solar panel, but the one aimed at your picture in the memorial garden frame is the very brightest. And, when the others are dimmed and finally dark by the wee hours, when I look out the window, there you are....almost glowing like the star you've always been.

Dobsey's there with you now....and Ben....Iver.....Vito....too many pups wearing wings, but at least I know you're in good company.

We will light candles for you tonight, and reminisce about a very, very special furry soul that graced our lives for too short a time.

We love you.....we will always love you....and we miss you every single day.

"And now....I'm glad I didn't know, the way it all would end....the way it all would go. Our lives...are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss The Dance"

With much love,
Mommy & Daddy
