We lost Taz on Sept. 3. She lived a long good life. We have had her since my oldest was about 2 I can remember her chasing him down the hallway and biting the diapers off his butt but yet never ever left any marks on him. Of course Cody had eventually turned it into a game he thought it was funny.
Its funny some people have pets our pets have kids. Taz would do bed checks on the boys every night. She would wake us up when one of the boys was sick. One time someone try to break in and she scared them off. In the end it wound up just being someone I knew that was stupidly drunk trying to get in, but it still scared the crap out of me because Jesse worked nights and I was pregnant with Jacob and home alone with Cody. She was a great protector. Although in her own yard she would bark at people she didn't know sad thing was she could be bought with goodies. We would occasionally find steak bones in the yard.
Its really weird not having her anymore I keep wanting to put water and food in her dishes I guess thats just part of my usual routine. We buried in the back yard on a rainy day. It was was different one of our friends had shown up at the house Jacob told her where we were and what we were doing, she grabbed a shovel and helped us dig the hole. After we got her buried another friend from across the street had come over to see what was up and was telling the story he loves about her because he had seen it first hand. When she was younger a lot younger someone had let her out of the fence so we took the car to bring her back we were going 30mph and she passed us like we were standing still it was the funniest thing. Then eventually while we were still out looking for her she had decided to come home on her own. It was just so funny to me that she came home on her own time wether we liked it or not. She definitely had an attitude at times and wasn't afraid to use it.
It really nailed me though that the timing for people to come over was when we were burying our girl. I think that is just so weird. At the same time I was very grateful because it made it so much easier on us.
I don't really know why I typed all this out maybe just to get it out who knows.
Rest in peace Taz you will be and are very missed but always remembered!
