Cindy - I was so saddened to read this. I've been following your account of Taz, and so hoping he would somehow bounce back, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I know how much you're hurting right now, since I've been there too many times myself. The pain eventually dulls and become bearable, but it never completely goes away, and I truly believe that our fur kids plan it that way so they can be with us forever. They don't want to leave, any more than we want them to go, and that little bit of sadness that remains, is the bond that can never be broken.

So RIP dear Taz, and check in with Mom occasionally to let her know that all is well. And to you Cindy - hugs and healing peace.
