Even though TALLY has been gone for years, it's still hard for me to make his page.   He and I had a very special
bond from the minute I took him out of his crate at the San Francisco airport.  His flight had been delayed and he'd
been in that crate from Pennsylvania for a long time, and when I opened the crate he was way in the back.   I
reached in and pulled him out and he just hung in my arms for a few seconds.  Then his tail started to wag and he
began to lick my face, and I fell in love with him right there.  I think he felt the same.  That was just the beginning of
nearly 13 years of a wonderful friendship.   Full of life and love and joy he was a gentle soul who never met a dog or
person he didn't like and who was sure every pocket held a cookie meant just for him.  Below is just a small look at
what a wonderful dog he was.
Tally started tracking at 5 months old and earned his TD at
just barely 8 months old.  He earned his TDX on his and my
first ever TDX test.
