Beloved pet and fellow traveler
who sweetened this life ...
Taggie, you will never be forgotten, nor will I replace you with another. Once is enough to make the tough decision we faced together, which came with heavy responsibility and regret. The day before, I asked for a sign from you that the time had come to end the suffering. You gave that sign clearly ... and another one, too, letting me know you had leaped across the bridge. Thank you, and to God, for this sacred sign I'll cherish in my heart forever.
You will always be a part of the Memorial for the horses. After all, you were with me for 13 years (since 6 weeks old) through all our travels around Southern California. You were my “muse” and constant companion ... at my side, often with your head on the laptop keyboard, while I built this Memorial over the years. You taught me so much about you, me, life, and death. There will never be another you.
