Across the Rainbow Bridge with Tai Tai 2008

We later learned Tai had heart worms which is rare in NJ as well as lymes, erlichia , and every parasite you can think of.  To top this off he had testicular cancer.  When we got the call from the shelter asking for us to help Tai we said yes.  Mommy Jo went the following day to meet him  and he despite his condition greeted us with a tail wag. Tai was
completely vetted and taken into Akita Rescue of Western New York (www.akitarescuewny.com) where he made a full recovery.
 
Tai at this point was probably over 11 years old and many people had over looked him, besides at his age he need a home and that is when we adopted him. The love this akita gave us in the 2 years we had him has filled our hearts as well as our souls; we loved this Akita boy and he loved us. Sadly we lost our Tai-Tai ( Mr. Tee-Tee) suddenly to bloat on December 16 2008 a early Tuesday morning, one we will never forget.

We love you buddy run free, you will live in our hearts forever. Mommy Jo misses you terribly, and Daddy carries your tags and collar on his truck mirror, you loved your truck rides buddy....
Love Mommy,Big Daddy, Massimo & Arizona Belle.
