Today was Taggart's "birthday"!
I don't know Taggart's exact birthday but 5 years ago, March 7th 2007, is when a certain skinny, fluffy doggy first appeared in my life. The initial plan wasn't to keep him but to only foster him until a new home was found... but, well, that was clearly a disaster! ;)
Since he was already all grown up when I got him, I obviously do not have any puppy pictures but here are two pictures from the very first day he spent with me.

His fur has always hidden it well but in this picture you can somewhat see how slim his hip area was at that point.

Taggart fit it perfectly right from the start and I especially think Tiki liked having a buddy to get into trouble with.

Sascha absolutely adored Taggart though. I don't know how many of you remember seeing pictures of Sascha before but she used to spend a lot of time with my dogs since she belongs to one of my best friends back in the Faroes. Sascha is still doing fine btw. She even got a rottie little brother now!
Here is a rare one where all three of them were playing together. Usually Tiki didn't like playing with Sascha since she could get a bit rough.

And another with all three of them. It's also one of my most favourite photos ever.

For a Faroese mutt he's most certainly seen his fair share of the world.
Here's one of him back in the Faroe Islands.

And around Cheektowaga, NY where we lived for a year or so.
