Sadly, we had to farewell our beloved Chocolate Labrador Riggsy last Thursday. It was sudden, unexpected and surreal. Happy one day, gone the next. Impossible to comprehend.
From day 1, 11 years ago, he had us fooled. We were putty in his paws and he used his cuteness like any adorable puppy could. He chewed through his first new collar during the ride from RSPCA, where we met him, to his new forever home with us. He wakes us up in the middle of the night just so dad would tuck him back into bed which dad does, lovingly, every time. He was an adorable, cheeky character that you could not help but love.
Riggsy, our dear nutty boy, we will miss your excitable way and your enthusiasm that always put a smile on our faces. We will miss the sound of your paws and the touch of your nose. But most of all, we will miss your unconditional love.
Thank you beautiful for hanging in there so we could all be by your side to say our final goodbyes.
May you rest in peace darling and rejoice in your brother’s company once again.
Days may pass, Nights may fall,
We will love you forever more.
Be free from this world,
But not from our hearts,
Let sleep not keep us apart.
