Ziggy

Ziggy is, actually was Neda's dog. She passed away this morning between 2 and 8. She was a beautiful American Eskimo with white fur. I only knew Ziggy in the past few years. She was already older, but still fiercely territorial. She taught Kiko to be a guard dog (most people are surprised that Kiko, a Black Lab is such a territorial creature). The Ziggy that I knew was gentle and loving. She would bark at you, but once she knew who you were, it was all love after that. I remember just this summer when we stopped to visit, she saw the mailman and chased after him! That was one of her favorite things - scaring the mailman. Azam had to run after her to catch her. She was such a trooper when Coco went missing ( we were dog sitting, but another time for that story). As old as she already was this summer, she was out there day after day with us looking for Coco. I can still see her big beautiful eyes looking at me, her very delicate feet crossed like the lady that she was. There aren't words to describe the loss of a loved one. I know that Ziggy was loved by all of us, and will be missed. Rest in peace sweetheart.
