On May 11, 2014, I woke up to Riggs taking his final gasping breaths as his heart condition took him from me far too soon. We had struggled with numerous health issues over the last few years, and knew it was coming but when it arrives it's always a horrible shock.
He was never an easy dog, but he was a good hearted boy whom I adored and miss every second of every day. His body failed him long before his spirit did.
