The beautiful Miss Ziggy Wilson took her last earthly breath Friday 20th January 10.25pm Q'ld Time
Never has a friend given so much and been so true. My source of strength, my security, my companion, my morning greeting and after work joy! Her loyalty, talk, intelligence, sense of humour and loving brown eyes will be missed forever.
Words are never enough............

I love you Ziggy

I lost my best friend Friday
the kind you can't replace,
and looking at her empty beds
I still can see her face.

I see the endless energy
the sparkling puppy eyes,
Not the tired, fragile friend
I had to bid goodbye.

I know she's in a special place
our Lord has for such friends,
Where meadows, fields & flowers
help make them strong and whole again.

I remember how she'd run to me
to play her favorite game,
And how her ears would perk right up
When she heard me call her name.

But as those precious years went by
And we both aged and grew,
I'd find her often slowing down
But-we had still so much to do.

At Christmas time she always knew
which gifts were hers under the tree
And birthdays those wrapped in red
were unwrapped so lovingly

She adored little Thomas
and stayed by his side
you would swear she was his Grandma
her eyes were filled with love & pride

She knew my every feeling
and responded with her love
I pray that God will keep her safe
and reward her up above

She never once failed me
and although I'd sometimes rouse
at the end of the day she always knew
she was the boss of this house

Her love for me knew no bounds
and while I worked she waited
her over exuberance upon my return
was more than anticipated

She was a happy little girl
her favourite game was hide & seek
but always around 5 o'clock
her happiness would peak

For it was then her special time
to visit all her friends
and now she waits in heaven for
us to be together again

I've noticed in the recent times
Her ears were not as sharp,
Where is that running ball of fur
The years have shown their mark.

She started sleeping next to me
Was this her special clue?
Because she felt the end was near
I only wish I knew.

My Ziggy was a special dog
I know she gave her best,
But as I looked deep into her eyes
I knew it was time for her to rest.

It will truly be a struggle
I don't know how I'll face each day,
I have to let her go--I know
But in my heart she'll always stay.

This special place our Lord has made
Health and strength, wait for her there,
So with my very special friend
I'm sending all my prayers.

I know she's watching over me
She'll be with me when I cry,
So with one more kiss on her beloved head
I told my Ziggydog goodbye.

"You are my best friend!"
