July 1st would have been Iggy’s 3 year adopt-a-versary.
As many of you know we said farewell to our precious boy on May 27th.
After a long interval without any dogs, Iggy found us.
Iggy was being fostered through Albert’s Dog Lounge
and after reading his BIO and seeing his photo, he was destined to be ours.
The intent 3 years ago, was to start a blog called “Life with Iggy”. Sharing our journey with our senior, mill rescue. There is a lot to share, from milestones & health scares to precious, hilarious, unforgettable moments. We navigated heart disease, giardia, Lyme disease, arthritis, sore paws and gut issues. Not to mention helping Iggy navigate our world and trust us enough to exhale. He over came so much and thrived. He was still becoming “our dog” when we had to say goodbye at 14 years old. As often happens, life took over and the blog took a back seat.
So now, it’s “Life Without Iggy”.
We’d do it all again, even the hard parts. We miss him so much it hurts, the “what if’s” take over at times.
We loved sharing him with the world. A poster pup for what is possible when we took a chance on a dog abandoned by the people who used him up and had no use for him at 11 years old.
We have no regrets, just that we couldn’t have him with us forever.
