Tigger: 1997-2008 Low Key Watersports mascot Tigger, born September 26, 1997, passed away Thursday, May 1, 2008. As many readers know, Tigger was striken with an unusual and debilitating disease earlier this year. Tigger fought back and made a miraculous recovery, but relapsed in recent weeks. Even in his final weeks Tigger did what Tigger always did best. He made everybody who came by to see him smile. If you knew Tigger, take a minute to remember him…then smile. 64 Responses to “Tigger: 1997-2008”Leave a Reply |

Being owned by two dogs myself, I’m very sad to hear of Tigger’s passing to the rainbow bridge…Tigger will be missed by all I’m sure.
May 7th, 2008 05:53
So sad to lose such a good dog.
May 7th, 2008 05:54
We are so sorry to hear of Tigger’s passing, Tigger was such a wonderful dog. May he rest in peace in doggie heaven.
May 7th, 2008 06:03
I thought Tigger was doing better. I hadn’t heard about the relapse. Sad news.
May 7th, 2008 06:13
What a good pup you were Tig. Thanks for the tail wags. Say hi to ‘ol Max for us.
May 7th, 2008 06:22
I’m trying to force a smile, but this is so sad… We were looking forward to coming by to scratch Tigger’s ear in a couple of weeks.
May 7th, 2008 06:26

That’s too bad. I was hoping he’d be up and about in August when we got to Low Key.
Our condolences to the whole StJ community
May 7th, 2008 06:44

I’m going to miss that mohawk and the that great personality. RIP Tigger
May 7th, 2008 07:32
Very sad news
.
May 7th, 2008 07:35
We were just in there yesterday and noticed Tigger wasn’t there…I was afraid to ask why, thinking maybe he had relapsed. This is really, really sad.
May 7th, 2008 07:38
This is thw saddest news i’ve seen all day. Tiger, I never had a chance to meet you, but i’m sure i’d have liked you when i did.

May 7th, 2008 07:50
Rest in Peace, you sweet, mohawk-sportin’ dude.
May 7th, 2008 08:19
It’s been around for a while, but I love this poem http://www.petloss.com/poems/maingrp/rainbowb.htm
Tigger will be missed.
May 7th, 2008 08:23
I will miss Tigger too. He was a great dog, and definitely a fixture on STJ.
May 7th, 2008 09:02
So sad. We met Tigger only once on the Cruz Bay beach- he was wet, playing ball, and having a great time- living the life every dog dreams of. We also nursed our Golden back to health a number of years ago and were blessed with two more quality years with him.
I’d like to believe we’ll someday be reunited with our special K9 kids (like Tigger) in heaven…….
May 7th, 2008 09:07
What a beautiful dog Tigger was. He will be missed, but what a wonderful addition to Heaven!
May 7th, 2008 09:13
My wife and I met Tigger on our honeymoon – we have recently lost both of our old labs and know what a loss it is. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tigger and his St. John family.
May 7th, 2008 09:18
Tigger, I we never met, but I’ll miss you…thank you for showing us how to never give up.
May 7th, 2008 10:07
I am heartbroken to hear this news. Sweet Tigger.
May 7th, 2008 10:19
This is so sad……….
I know he will be in doggie heaven and watch over everyone……Dogs can be angels too
May 7th, 2008 10:37
Tigger had Angels watching over him all his life on St. John (his family), now it’s his turn to be the Angel who watches over them.
Good Bye Tigger…..I never met you, but I have, never the less, been touched by your presence.

This is so sad. I will keep his parents in my prayers.
May 7th, 2008 11:04
This is sad news. We missed seeing Tigger in March because he was still recuperating. Our Gus sent cookie bones down to say hi.
Tigger, please say hi to Marlowe when you see him.
May 7th, 2008 11:17
Condolences to Anne Marie and all whose days were brightened by our friend Tigger.
May 7th, 2008 11:25
sad news. Sorry for your loss – Tigger was an awesome dog.
May 7th, 2008 11:27
I am sorry to hear that Tigger has left this world. I know that he will be happy in heaven and will be waiting for all his loved ones to join him. My prayers go out to his family.
May 7th, 2008 11:37
Such sad news. I had hoped that he had fully recovered. Just lost our 6mos. old lab and know how heart breaking it is. Tigger say hello to Sophie when you meet in heaven and if you meet up with our cat Tigger give her a wag.
May 7th, 2008 11:42
Rest in peace, Tigger. You will be missed more than you know.
May 7th, 2008 11:53
So very sad. Tigger was a very good boy! Ann Marie, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will stop in to say hi this weekend. Please take care of yourself and remember all the very happy times that you had with him.
He will be very missed by all!
May 7th, 2008 12:29
So sad to hear about this. I’ll be having a french fry in your honor tonight old boy.
Rest In Peace – you earned it!
May 7th, 2008 13:28
Tigger truly man’s and St. John’s best friend! We all will miss you sweet boy!
May 7th, 2008 14:14
So sorry to hear of Tigger’s passing! He’ll truly be missed by all. Whenever I wear my Low Key/Tigger t-shirt, it’ll be in his honor.
Rest easy big fella! And say “hi” to Muffin for us … haven’t seen her since early January.
May 7th, 2008 14:29
Tigger…thanks for the great time in March! We were so happy to see you…one last time! I’ll post & share your photos with everyone.
Rest in Peace. Say “hi” to Bob for me…been just over four years.
May 7th, 2008 15:03
My heart goes out to Ann Marie. Tigger was very lucky to have a Mom who gave him lots of hope and love. She truly seems to have given him all of the best care possible. Rest in Peace Tigger! Take it ease Ann Marie!
May 7th, 2008 15:04

May 7th, 2008 15:32
One more Goldern Retriever in heaven. God is a lucky guy. Tigger, Say hi to Ursa and Sanyati for us.
May 7th, 2008 15:52
So so sad to hear of this news! I thought he was on the mend! He will certainly be missed!
May 7th, 2008 16:06
I’m so sad to hear about the passing of Tigger. My friends and I were looking forward to seeing him again this fall around Low Key Water Sports and the Beach Bar. Although we live thousands of miles away in Michigan, Tigger touched our lives and makes us smile everytime we talk about sharing a shower with an adorable dog with a mohawk. I know he is up in heaven now running around and enjoying all the french fries he wants. Tigger please say hi to my two beautiful cockers, Duke and Riley and let them know they are truly missed!
May 7th, 2008 16:08
Tigger please say hi to Fluffy, Muffy, Smokey Earl, and Samson for us…..
May 7th, 2008 17:10
What a beautiful old boy he was – I never met him except through the internet, but I was touched by his story and also all of the STJ regulars who visited him and tried to help when he fell ill. He will be missed by me too! Our thoughts are with you Anne Marie – you lost a good one.
May 7th, 2008 18:46
Tigger was so cool! We will miss seeing him hanging around and jumping into the water to greet the dive boat upon its’return.
May 7th, 2008 20:05
We’re very sorry for your loss. Our dogs have always been a big part of our family.
Dave and Polly
May 7th, 2008 20:33
Our Guinness and Tigger sniffed butts a few times in the 2001-03 time frame. They’ll both be waiting by the Rainbow Bridge..Such a loss to those of us left behind.-(
May 7th, 2008 21:42
We are so sorry to hear about Tigger. We know the hole in your lives he has left. It is truly amazing how much a part of your everyday life they become. They are family members in every way. Only time will heal the hurt, but the unconditional love they give you will live on in your heart forever. Our hearts go out to you.
May 7th, 2008 21:48
Tigger, I have followed your illness for quite awhile. You are at peace now, you will be missed by many. All the best to your owners.
May 7th, 2008 22:20
So sorry!!!!!!!!!!
May 8th, 2008 06:33
While I am greatly saddened by the loss of Tigger, it occurred to me what a great life he had! We should all be so lucky to live in paradise and be greatly loved! Tigger touched so many lives, even people he has not personally met. Wouldn’t it be great to have t-shirts made with Tigger’s picture on them and have the proceeds go to animal care on St.John? That would truly be a fitting memorial. I’d buy 6…
May 8th, 2008 11:03
god Bless
May 8th, 2008 12:37
Great idea Carrie – I’d buy some too.
May 8th, 2008 14:08
Carrie & Tracy – they already have one at Low Key. Search “tigger” on this site and read the article “Hey, it’s a Tigger-tee”. I ordered 3 a couple of weeks ago … turns out it was rather timely.
May 8th, 2008 14:28
I threw a some fries on the ground here in Colorado in honor of Tigger. He will be missed.
May 8th, 2008 16:14
that made me sad today.. tigger was a great dog,
Im very sorry for Ann Maries and Daves loss.I knew Tigger well, I walked past him every day for over a year..
May 8th, 2008 18:15
Rest in Peace Tigger. We only met you last year but your mohawk was so cool. So sorry for your loss.
May 8th, 2008 19:15
Well Tigger, 59 comments as of this posting! Since I have been following this blog pretty much daily since Jeff and Russ started it, that seemed like a lot to me. So, in honor of you Tig, I went back through all the previous entries to see just what was THE most popular entry in terms of the number of commenters. (Ruth, I actually did look at them all!) Guess what Tigger? You win!… Just like you won the hearts of so many lives you touched in your short span on this Earth. What a wonderful tribute to you, your parents and the folks who visit this site. Well done thou faithful servant!
May 8th, 2008 20:48
We stopped by twice to say “Hi” to Tigger on our visit a month ago and just missed seeing him both times. Sorry to hear the news. Best wishes…
May 8th, 2008 21:18
So sorry for the loss. Losing a family member like Tigger is very painful. Hugging all my critters in his honor.
May 9th, 2008 19:56
So sorry for the loss. We loved seeing Tigger when we came in to the shop during our first visit to St. John in Dec. 07. He was a sweetie.
May 10th, 2008 10:58
I’m so sad to hear this — Tigger, I was hoping to meet you in a couple of weeks and give you a good ear-scratching. Please say hi to my Fergie Girl up in heaven — she’ll be sure to escort you to the 24-hour Steak Buffet (where they have all-you-can-eat french fries, too). Rest in peace, sweet one.
May 13th, 2008 20:11
Aw, this is such sad news about Tigger. Rest in peace good boy and run free and happy at the bridge. I think it is ever so appropriate and touching that the news of Tiggers psssing seems to have generated the most comments ever on your blog. We love our doggies!
