Sad News

Stiggy my dog, whom I named my blog after, passed away today He was taken ill on Thursday and seemed to be doing well Then today he took a turn for the worse and we had to make the hard decision to let him go He was a wonderful dog, so good natured that even in pain he never grumbled My blog title will remind me of the 9.5 years of fun and happiness we had  after someone left him tied to gate Everyone who met him thought he as a girl and only about 2 years old So he became known round the village as the only gay dog in the village after the comedy show Little Britain The heartache now is nothing to all the joy we had with him God Bless you Stiggy and RIP
