Beyond a Cute Dog Painting: Viggo
"It was my pleasure to have him for the last 6 years, and I would do it all over again if given the chance. "
VIGGO 7/6/08 - 6/10/21
“Viggo told me it was time to go yesterday. We had quite the romance. Adoration, infatuation, a deep connection. It started out one-sided, but through his love for food, he decided it was ok to love and trust another person, despite being surrendered twice before. It was my pleasure to have him for the last 6 years, and I would do it all over again if given the chance. For those of you tending to a sick pet, I see you. Find the reward, do all the things, even if it means sleeping on the floor for the last 6 months. Run free my little warrior. Find Belle and GiGi, and come back and see me. I’ll be here waiting.”
