Zig-Zag (Ziggy for short) was born in East Texas, named for the little (genetic) kink in her tail. She came to live with her family as companion to all and sister to Tika, then Murphy, little Dachshunds also. Ziggy was a fun, inquisitive and very affectionate puppy who grew up to be a wonderful lady, intelligent, beautiful, sweet, very loving. Ziggy was a fierce protector of home and hearth, be it squirrels in the backyard, possums under the shed, or pizza delivery boys.

Our precious little Ziggy became ill suddenly and was eased out of this life before she experienced any pain. We miss her and will never forget her, and we take comfort in the fact that she lived a very happy and healthy life, filled with siblings, cousins, and all the love and fun she could handle.

We are thankful that God allowed us nearly 13 wonderful years with her. I believe He has given us dogs as an example of how to live our lives: lovingly, happily, faithfully, simply, and trusting in our Master one day at a time.
