The story of Taurus

This is Taurus with Kitty. In this pic he is 12 years old. He left us on November 3, 2007 at 8:30 am by injection he was 14 and a half years old...I miss him terribly. How I got him is another story. When he was three months old a friend of mine's friend asked me to watch his dog for two weeks. Five weeks passed and no word from the person...I was in college and couldn't afford a dog so I had to mow lawns, etc. in order to buy food for him. He was also sick and I had to take him to the vet. Anyway, the guy wanted his dog back the day after I decided to keep him, up until then I had every intention of giving him back. I had to fight this guy to keep Taurus but I won...we were together for over 14 years. :) Best dog I ever had...I miss him so much. Turns out the guy went around telling people this was a visious dog...so far from the truth you don't know. When Taurus was 12 he was almost completely deaf, going blind too. He was sniffing something on the ground and a toddler ran up behind him and grabbed his behind startling him. Taurus calmly turned his head (which was at the same level as the kid's face) and gave her a kiss. I berated the mother for this because most dogs would have taken the kid's face off, not my Toto though, he loved children. I think had I given him back to that street punk kid all those years ago he would not have had the same life, if he lived at all.
