This page is in loving remembrance of our dog Tahmah who passed away May 6th 2003.

When we first got Tahmah from the local animal shelter we of course had no idea how old he was or what sort of situation he had been in previously. Since he came into our family though, he has brought more love and joy than can possibly be expressed in words. We will miss him very much.

Things We Can Learn From a Dog

 

 Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.

Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

Take naps and stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit 

       close by, and nuzzle them gently.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout .... run right back and make friends.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
