Our Beautiful Sweet Gigi is Gone.

Gigi was in horrible shape when Sarah and her husband found her on the farm. Sarah took her home and immediately bonded with this remarkable dog. Gigi was so gentle, undemanding and just so grateful for a soft hand and kind word. Even though Gigi was not in good health she managed a smile and tail wag for all of  us.
Gigi was showing progress in her condition till about 3 days ago. She stopped eating, became thinner, and wasn't wagging her tail. Gigi's breathing had improved greatly but we still didn't think we could heart worm treat her .We knew she wouldn't survive.
Gigi was one of those dogs that grabbed your heart and wouldn't let go.She was so grateful for her food, her warm bed and someone to rub her head and talk to her. She was so undemanding, so happy to be loved.
Today Sarah and her husband came by to get Gigi and take her to the vet for one last effort to save her or end her suffering. Gigi was in Sarah's arms, gave her a last look and peacefully slipped away.
We will never forgot Gigi. She impacted every one that met her and I have received many emails about how her picture affected others and tore at their hearts.
It is with love and sadness that we say goodbye to Gigi. She will always be in our hearts. Sarah and her husband will bury Gigi today on the farm where she was found. Rest well our sweet girl. You are loved. This is how I will always remember her. Smiling and happy.
