It’s amazing to look back and realize how many pets I’ve had over the years. Mostly dogs, although there were a couple of cats in the mix. I much prefer dogs because I like having someone who is ecstatic to see me when I come home. The most important pet I had was the dog I grew up with. Tag was a black cocker spaniel that we got when I was about five. He was a family pet but he bonded with me the most. Tag was playful and loving, a real joy to have around. Except for the time he managed to snatch the Thanksgiving turkey and carry it to the living room to eat! That’s one of those experiences that’s only funny in retrospect. Tag gave me unconditional love as a kid. In fact, he and my grandmother were the only ones who did so. He never got mad at me, but more importantly, he never ignored me. I was mostly ignored in my family but Tag was always happy to be with me. He slept on a rug by my bed, and as I got to my adolescent years, he became my confidant for all of my teenage angst. He always understood and never judged me. He got me through many real and imagined crises by snuggling and licking my face. Tag lived a long life and died while I was away at college. He will always have a special place in my heart. --Terese
