Tao Ta Chiang by Ann

 

"Tao Ta Chiang"

May 5 1988 ----- Ocbober 27 1996

Chinese Shar Pei

 

Chiang came to us as a small bag of

wrinkles with eyes so beautiful that they twinkled.

He never made a mess and was always

ready with loving slurpy kiss.

He ate turnip greens and carrots green beans and potatoes

also loved a bowl of rice (why not he was Chinese after all)!

 

If it was cold he slept in our bed under the covers.

He could snore with the best of them... 🙂

If it was hot he had favorite place in front of the fan.

Needless to say

Chiang was more of a child than a pet.

 

The day he went to a better place

we were holding him in our arms as his big heart

finaly gave way.

After three years it's still difficult

to write this without tears and a pain in my heart.
