My heart is very heavy right now, as it is with every member of my family. Today we had to put our family dog down after 10 perfect years. Many of you have met Taz in person. He was literally the perfect family dog. He never whined, he was very quiet unless there was an appropriate need to bark. He guarded us with every thing he had and loved us unconditionally. I love him more than most people on the planet, and this world would be a better place if more people had his traits. However even the perfect dog can't beat cancer once it decides it is going to take over. He died peacefully in my wife and I's arms. I'm not going to lie though, I'm going to be mess for a while...possibly a very long while. You dog people know what I'm feeling, and those of you that aren't, well it's not something I can explain.
Here is to you Taz, you're the best of the "best friend's" and man could ever hope to have.
