Rigby

2011 - 2024

Rigby was the best dog. He had a passion for chasing tennis balls, parading new toys, and, most importantly, loving his family. His parents affectionately referred to him as their "life coach" due to his remarkable ability to motivate them with early morning wake-up calls (even though Dad resisted many mornings) and daily walks to the park! He was an exceptional athlete, he could catch tennis balls mid-air with ease and ran faster than any other dog at the park. Rigby's impressive skills even landed him as a competitor in dock dog events, where his drive and determination for toys never wavered and helped him leap across pools effortlessly. He bravely persevered through many thunderstorms that terrified him wrapped in his thunder vest on his parent’s bed, including Hurricane Harvey, where he swam to safety to the neighbors. Regardless of the circumstances, Rigby remained steadfast by his family's side, his tail wagging with unwavering optimism for a ride in the car so he can hold his head out of the window and be with us. Though he is deeply missed, his legacy will live on, and we will have constant reminders of how great he was. We take comfort in knowing that he is now free from pain, doing all the things that brought him happiness, unencumbered by the debilitating disease of Lar Par that had taken its toll. We love and miss you so much Rigs. Our hearts will never be the same 💙
