Ben was a wonderful member of our family for nearly 9 years.
We will miss Ben more than words could ever express but we are so thankful for the memories that we will always cherish.
May God bless our Ben in Heaven.

In and Out
The dog searches until he finds me
Upstairs, lies down with a clatter
Of elbows, puts his head on my foot.
Sometimes the sound of his breathing
Saves my life---in and out, in
And out: a pause, a long sigh…
By Jane Kenyon from Yoga the Poetry of the Body

Beloved Kohki was lost to cancer. Her spirit is missed terribly by Lynne and all of us at TARA.
Hoshi's life was saved by Connie, and her loving memory will remain with her for eternity.
Elly, our extraordinarily special girl. She had the eyes of an angel. Check back to read her story.
Rest in peace, Ebi Webby...
Free at last, Kobe. Run like the wind.
Yama, your memory lives on in the hearts of those who love you.
