Birthday: March 30th 2002 Likes: Becoming the 90lb lap dog Pet-Peeves: Rain Favorite Toy: Dr. No's Snake extra long Favorite Food: Anything I eat Favorite Walk: Weekends, off-leash, at the empty elementary school Best Tricks: He doesn't really 'do' tricks. He is beautiful but kinda dim. Arrival Story: Three months after I put my 14yr old dobe Sasha to sleep, I took a quick spin on Petfinder.com and Taz was at a shelter up the street from where I worked. On my lunch hour I went up to the Shelter to see him. He had been used as Pit-Fighting Bait. I signed the paperwork right then and picked him up over the weekend. Bio: Taz was taken from a dog fighting ring, where he had been used as bait for nine months. It took us a good six months to prove to him he was safe and secure forever and ever.

If I ever saw an angel, it was in your eyes
Before I was a dog Mom:
I made and ate hot meals unmolested.
I had unstained, unfurred clothes.
I had quiet conversations on the phone,
even if the doorbell rang.
Before I was a dog Mom:
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got to bed
or if I could get into my bed.
Before I was a dog Mom:
I cleaned my house every day.
I never tripped over toys, stuffies, chewies
Or invited the neighbor's dog over to play.
Before I was a dog Mom:
I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers, plastic bags,
toilet paper, soap or deodorant
were poisonous or dangerous.
Before I was a dog Mom:
I had never been peed on
Pooped on
Drooled on
Chewed on
Or pinched by dog teeth.
Before I was a dog Mom:
I had complete control of
My thoughts,
My body and mind.
I slept all night without sharing
the covers or pillow.
Before I was a dog Mom:
I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop a hurt.
I never knew something so furry and four-legged
could affect my heart so deeply.
Before I was a dog Mom:
I had never held a sleeping dog
just because I couldn't put it down.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was well.
I didn't know how warm it feels inside
to feed a hungry dog
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important.
Before I was a dog Mom:
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being
A dog Mom
