To all my family and friends,
A member of the Marmande-Burgard family has passed on to furry heaven.
Tiger "Tiggy" Burgard passed away Sunday, November 5th, 2006 a couple months shy of her 15th human age birthday.
Tiggy woke Mom up Sunday morning to let her know that something was wrong. When Mom took her to the emerengy animal hospital, it was discovered that Tiggy had gone into multi-organ failure due to diabetic shock. She was given that blessed 'no pain, go to sleep" injection and passed in my mom's arms (the best place in the world).
She will be greatly missed and eternally loved!
For those in the Houston Katy area, if you can give Mom a call or stop by the house, please do. I may have lost my sweet furry baby, but Mom lost her long time companion. We received Tiggy from our vet, Dr Pat 14 years ago. I left Tiggy to watch over Mom when I went away to college, the first time. So for the past 9 years, she and Mom became the best of friends.
Mom and I spoke for several hours Monday of our fondest and not so fondest memories of Tigg. Like how she slept right near or behind Mom with a watchful eye when Mom had her stroke and how no matter how long I was away from her, Tigg always acted a paticular way with me and would ditch Mom while I was in town. This past September when I was home for a month, Tigg and I had a lot of special moments as I let her sleep ON the bed and me as well as LAY ON the leather couch!
Tiggy, I hope you are having fun on your playhouse and playing, chasing or being chased by our sweet friends, Bingo, Bubba, Daisy, Joe, Figgero, Maggie, Hershey, Chelsy, Cowboy, Suzette, and Fluffy. We miss you more than words can say!
