My Tazzy

- By Cindi-Lee Campbell - 

Deep inside my heart, there is a warm place that we shared,

a place that is so special, nothing else can be compared.  

Some may ask how can that be, he had four feet not two?

But your soul, it spoke, and through our eyes, true friendship is what grew.   

Some say that when a loved one dies, a piece of them dies too,

But with you my Taz, the love we shared, my heart, it only grew.   

You joined us at a lonely time, hearts numb and without feeling,

you filled our lives with joy again, and set our hearts to healing.  

You gave the ones you loved so much, each day the gift of joy,

my heart it grew, with love and trust, having shared it with my boy.   

The countless hours we had together, working side by side,

really, was I training you, or along for just the ride?  

I truly think that it was you, really teaching me

of friendship, love and purity, God’s gifts for us to see.  

In my life, there will never be another just like you,

But your love I carry with me, in everything I do.  

God, he called you home again, your soul has been set free

and though I know someone, may need your more, I pray you return to me.    

                 Tazzy's entire life was spent making others happy.  His personality shone  so brightly in     in the dog show ring, as he pranced and showed his stuff.  In the obedience ring  he was  a         a true ambassador to his breed with his stability, and humorous antics!   As a therapy dog
       his gentle demeanor helped many children to respect canines, and taught  them how their
       kindness would be returned.  Many a time I would be in a public place and hear a child say,
 "     look Mom, there is Tazzy's mother." 

                As an old timer, Tazzy took to carting better than any youngster could.  He was
             seasoned in life, and pretty much knew exactly what to do!  He achieved his Drafting   
             Title a couple of weeks before his 10th birthday, & as far as we can determine was the first
             Bullmastiff to do so in Canada.

                Though his achievements outside our home were impressive, the joy he brought to our our         home is not even measurable.  He would greet our guests with pride and dignity, and if asked
             would share a wonderful cuddle with them on the couch.  Many tell me that Tazzy is the
             reason they fell in love with the bullmastiff breed. 

                One of his favorite times of the day would be when Barry shared with him a
         piece of  cheese, and you dared not say the word baloney in our home, without the intent of sharing
           a piece with Tazzy, who up to the day he died, would spin and leap, and bark in anticipation of this delight, with his ears held pretty much straight out from his head. 

            Tazzy became very weak, and ill, rather suddenly.   With a quick diagnosis of
           hemangiosarcoma, we helped him on his journey to heaven.  Even during his last moments, he
        was happy, with his tail softly wagging, surrounded by those who loved him, and chewing
          cookies.   To know Taz was to know joy and purity.  A very special soul who taught us that true friendship doesn't hold the boundaries of human form.

     Forever loved and missed, our Tazzy
