Your outpouring of love over the last few days has been remarkable. Thank you for all of your kind condolences. Tigger was a one of a kind canine companion and we miss him terribly.

We’re taking a few days off, getting away and offline. I’ll post new photos when we return.

Again, thank you.

I Feel terribly that Tigger past away (and I’m terribly sorry if I got the wrong impression and he/she is not dead at all!) But this photo seems to exspress the emotions of when a loved one passes away, and the thoughts of if they are alright now, and what really happens after they die. I loved my dog Seamus and he passed away 2 years ago. I still think of him often and i cannot describe the impact he had on my life.

I’ve been a fan of your site for years, so it’s strange that my first comment to you is on such a tragic occasion. My sincere condolences to you, Derek, and Chieka on Tigger’s untimely death. I can only imagine what combination of sorrow/horror/rage you’re probably feeling by imagining my own reaction if something were to happen to my baby daughter.
Peace be unto you.

I just wanted to say that your pictures are incredible. I have my first dog who is about six or seven years old and really love him. I am sorry you lost your dog.

As the mother of two dogs who mean the world to me, I am completely heartbroken for your loss. You deserve to take whatever time you need. We’ll be here when you return – always ready to appreciate your unique photographic eye.
