Our Beautiful Taz

We all gush about 'our' pets and how wonderful they are and are very upset when they pass away. Sadly it's our turn to gush about 'our wonderful Taz' who passed away last week.

Taz was a Lurcher and the most gentle kind natured companion you could ever meet. Every one who met her adored her and she was every ones friend.

She went everywhere with Diz from the first moment she entered our lives. She was full of life and loved being outdoors. As a puppy she tormented us until she finally calmed down. She destroyed a dining room suit, re landscaped the back garden to her taste with lots of mounds, trenches and hills, she dug a hole in a door and a carpet and even ate the pet Rat Ruddy, but didn't swallow thankfully and it survived several more encounters.

She followed us around the UK, over to the Channel Islands where she loved the beach and then to Ireland to see out the last of her years. After her companion Sammy died a few years ago we watched her grow old gracefully until, at 15, it was finally time to say good bye. Hardest thing we have ever had to do.

She is buried next to Sammy in our field, where the geese have already made use of the freshly dug ground. Our little Border Terrier Kip, who arrived a year after Sammy died and who Taz never really took to, watched us cover Taz with earth and then spent the next few minutes searching for her. Quite sad. She continued to look for her throughout the next couple of days, which was heart breaking.
So we say good bye to Our Beautiful Taz and will remember her always in our heart.
Regards
Stell & Diz
