Remembering Winnie Wiggles - Heaven's Jiggliest Angel

Winnie Wiggles, Howard's Big Sister

Photo taken Oct 21, 2007

Today is the second anniversary of the death of the little heartbeat at my feet, Winnifred Wigglepants. She was my velcro pug and my love, and I miss her every moment of every day.

This is her diary entry on dogster the day she passed:

Winnie died this morning very early while she was in the care of the tech at the ICU. I think she was very tired. She was my brave girl and was such a big part of our lives. Please say a prayer that she is comforted now.

She loves breakfast-time so much. I hope that she is enjoying scrambley egg and a bowl of delicious kibble this morning and making the angels laugh with her roo roo roo morning song and breakfast time spinning.

Who will wash Howie's face now? Who will sit on my feet when I am on the 'puter? Who will keep dad company in the kitchen when he is cooking? Our little one with such a big heart is gone, and it all happened so quickly and unexpectedly.

We were so blessed to have her with us for just 2 short years. What an extraordinary little dog she was.

I told her last night it was okay to go - she was sitting up in her oxygen cage at the ICU for 2 days, waiting for me. She always sat and waited for me. The moment she laid down was when she passed.

Please hug your babies for me today and say a prayer for angel Winnie. She was cherished.

Heavenly Missive - Tribute to Wiggles

Whippy creme and scrambled eggs are

Way up here in Heaven

In case you too

See only blue and wonder what you're gettin

They're other things like angel wings

With fur that's never sheddin'.

There's no disease or achin knees

and wrinkles smooth and silken

I fall asleep and dream of you

and times when we were given

to sprint and run and tug on toys

and dash to mom for lovin.

Tonight no tears oh Howie dear

because I have been taken

I’ll kiss your cheek and whiskers sweet

And heal the ache within you.

The pain it fades and goes away

And even loss feels lighter

When time moves on then pushes back

All that separates us.

Thinking About an Angel at Christmas

The Jiggliest Angel

This week 2 years ago was the last good week little Winnie Wiggles had during her three month fight with GME encephalitis. Winnie was my heart, my velcro girl, and my best friend. My fondest hope is that I will see her again someday.

Remembering Two Little Angels

Gracie

Winnie loved her Aunty Sharon, who brought

her beautiful prezzies, like this velour blue dress.

Winnie says thanks fur the dress Aunty Sharon!

One more smoochy for Aunty Sharon,
who color coordinated her wardrobe with Wiggles.


These are some of my favorite pictures from April 2005 when Sharon and her little Gracie came over for a playdate. Sharon always brought presents for the puggies, and Winnie Wiggles is pictured wearing the lovely velour dress Sharon brought her. Winnie especially loved the dress Sharon brought her because it showed off her rolls and rolls of jiggley loveliness.

Winnie and Gracie both went to the rainbow bridge last year, leaving broken hearts and many tears in their wake. Sharon and I miss our girls, but we remember them every day with so much love. These pictures always make me smile. They captured such happy moments.

The Jiggliest Studio Assistant

March 2005

Always eager to help in the studio, Winnie Wiggles was extremely good at making sure all toys had their noses chewed, the stinky boys only entered the room with her express permission, and any treats being handed out from the art studio table got first sniff from the Jiggley one herself, Miss Wiggles. I will always love and miss my little Wiggley girl.

Ask Miss Wigglepants

Winnie Wigglepants, puggy columnist to the stars....

Unlike so many other supermodels, Winnie Wiggles never complained during a fashion shoot, no matter what silly outfit her mommy insisted she wear that day. Winnie knew that when the bright lights dimmed and the glossies went to press, she would always be rewarded with a delicious treat for all her hard work. She was the gentlest, most patient divapug I have ever loved. I miss you my little jiggley.
