Tara was my 13 yr old gsd i got her when she was 8 weeks old with every body saying that i wont live long enough to see her grow old well tara how wrong where they !!! I lost Tara on the 20th september 2007 with cancerand i have never felt so much pain in all my life. I owe Tara my life as i have lived with the HIV virus for now 20 years and why did i live for that long i will tell you both my dogs tara and jack got me up every morning to walk them to feed them to groom them and to love them they never ever rejected me they never ever judge me and they where always there to comfort me when times where so hard when i thought i would not get through a flue, a pain but i did as i would look at my dog and ask god pls help me as they need me and i need them she would help me up from the floor if i fell. she would comfort me when i was feeling so lonely and with no future in my life but she would pick me back up again and push me to do my best. She was a PAT dog we would go and see people with Hiv and Aids and also people with altimers with hope that they would get as much benifit from Tara as i did and to make their illness just that little bit easier to deal with and to have some thing to look forward to she brought so much happyness in to those little faces off the kids that where dying off AIDS just for that hour once a week and taught the kids that was so scared off a dog not to be scared and reasured them that even tho i am a big hairy beast i am soft and gentle and i just want to give you some happyness and some love and mostly some healing and that excetly what she did.

She won over 500 tropies rancing from 1st place to special and won so many things even fancy dress we would go to for fun , she would pose like a model to get her picture taken and i have some wonderful pictures to look back on to remember her , but is that enough just to remember i dont know at the moment i am blank i am empty i am lost i am hurting what is my future can i live with out her, can i carry on ?? i want my dog back she was my reasons for living and now that is gone what have i got nothing . Tara i miss you so much baby and i want to thank you for giving me the pleasure of being your owner so run free baby and find your brother jack and leave that door ajar for me as i wll see you again some time baby. love you so much . your mummy xxxxxxx
