When my little brother (Justin) brought home Taz. I thought, "Okay another lizard or pet" but little did I know that she would live up to 12 years old and become my best friend over the years. She was such a small baby, the length of my pointer finger. Her love for falling asleep on my finger to chasing crickets. We initially thought she was a "he" until we had to take her to the vet and they said Taz is a girl! Her nickname was "Tang" because my grandma couldn't say Taz. When we first got Taz, she was under the care of my little brother. But as he gotten older things change and so I had to be responsible for Taz. I know over the years I wish I was more responsive and cared for her, but in her final years I dedicated more time of my life for her. To give her the best and even when she sadly passed away on New Year's Day, I drove all the way to New Jersey (1.5 hours) with the help of a friend. To witness her private cremation. It was very tough. Having Taz were the best years of my life. She is beautiful, patient, cuddly (sometimes scratches me with love), picky, funny and literally had an AMAZING personality. I had a routine everyday and always scheduled my time and everything around her. To waking up and seeing her beautiful face to tucking her in at night. She was like my baby and she brought so much joy to my life. Even when my life was getting busy, I still found the time to interact with Taz and cared for her. As she was always next to me no matter what. I always talked to her and when I was sad she was there for me. She brought so much comfort to me and overall just so much love. She knows we all love her so much, how spoiled she was when she would get her favorite treats (strawberries/blueberries) and new soft lux bedding. Taz was a spoiled girl. On New Years Eve, my last day with her she was more active than usual. We watched stranger things, hung out, took the NYC subway where she wanted to see the lights. For the countdown she didn't wanna sleep and wanted to hang out with us. After the new year ended, I tucked her in bed and told her I love her so much. I will always remember her and love her forever. No one can replace her. I am still hurt over her loss and it is very hard. But someone told me to celebrate her life, she lived a long life full of love. Taz, Ate Kate loves you so much. |
