Digger

Post by Gonzai »

I don't really post here very often anymore. I really don't buy much
artwork either. I am posting this, not for responses, but just as
another tribute to my beloved best friend.

I first got Digger in July of 2001. That is the year I first started
watching anime. I started collecting cels in 2002, so through it
all, Digger has been with me.

He was with me through every auction. All the times I would wake up
at 3:00 AM to watch an auction end, he was right there with me, on
my lap sleeping while I patiently waited to see if I would win.

He was with me when I joined Anime Beta. He was with me when
I scanned all of my cels and created my RS gallery. He was with me
when I chatted in the Beta chat room and the RS chat all those years
ago.

He used to love laying on a pillow on the desk as I updated my RS
gallery. I talked to him so many times about what I should do for
sections, or what images I should use. He when through several
new scanners with me.

When I sold my artwork, he was right by my side as I was either
listing it on eBay, or packaging it up to ship. He would sit on the
floor with me and wait, then jump in the car and ride off to the
post office for me to drop the boxes off.

He also made several trips with me on Saturdays to the Post office
to pick up packages from japan. He would always get excited with
me as I opened new artwork and showed it off to him for his approval
(He always approved).

He would sit on the couch next to me as I put all my artwork in fresh
bags and new books. He never complained that I was doing things
with my artwork instead of playing with him. He always knew that
that would come when I was finished.

For nearly 15 years he was right by my side for everything anime.
He hated when I went to conventions, but loved that I would bring
him back something from each and every one. He was my anime buddy.

Digger left me this last Friday. No more will he be by my side as I
am looking at my artwork or re-bagging it. No more will I have him
as company while watching a new anime or re-watching an old. No
more will he be on my lap as I read my manga.

He will forever be in my heart, though. And even though he won't
be there physically, he will be with me in spirit. Until we are together
again Digger, run free!!

I am so sorry to hear that you have lost Digger. I went thru the loss of a pair of long time furry family members over the past so I know the pain of your loss. :ghug:

It is the only imperfect thing about dogs...they leave us far too soon. As anyone who's ever loved one of these wonderful creatures knows, they are family - and family is the hardest loss to bear. I'm truly sorry for what you're going through.
