a sad day


It's a wonder that Brad was never interested in going into veterinary science since he loves animals so much. Especially dogs. When he was 11 he picked out a little red fur ball that was half Siberian husky and half Lhapsa Apso. In a very Brad move he named her Tasha after a Star Trek character. Since Brad was the youngest of six kids and spent his middle school and high school years as a only child at home he was really close to Tasha. Whenever we went to Naperville the first thing he usually did was go to the back yard and check up on Tasha. When we went to Naperville last weekend Tasha, at 14 years old, actually chased down a skunk and gripped it in her mouth. Sadly she passed away yesterday. It's not too often that you lose a friend at our age, especially one that's so much a part of the family. So here's to the Tasha dog, you will be missed.
