Today was a sad day for us, we lost the best dog we've ever had. In February 2008 we drove to Santa Monica, California to meet "Charger" a homeless 1 1/2 year old Dalmatian (click
here to see his story). He was skinny, scared, wild, and we'd never had a male dog before . . . we quickly decided to take a chance on him. Long story short, it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Dalmatians are not for everyone, but Tahoe is our third and as they say "Third time's the charm."

| Kent found Tahoe on the Petfinder website |

Tahoe's first day with us in Utah . . .
He wasn't too sure this was all going to work out
 |
| He made friends quickly . . . Tahoe and Pepper were inseparable |
|
 |
Tahoe enjoyed sitting at the top of the stairs in the garage
|
 |
| He could be quite playful |
 |
| He loved his blankies, they were for sleeping, playing and wearing |
 |
| This is one of our favorite pictures of him |

 |
| In his early years he played hard |
 |
| We quickly learned that he really liked cherries |
 |
| Soon he was banned from the orchard |
 |
| He was always up for a good game of catch |
 |
| After playing hard he enjoyed hanging out with us |
 |
| He had the most unique sleeping positions |
 |
| Unfortunately, life was not always fun and games |
 |
| He enjoyed a good game of tug of war |
 |
| We took him on a few hikes |
 |
| He was afraid of water |
 |
| One day we found him in the recliner, he was not allowed on the furniture . . . oops! |
 |
| For a California dog he learned to like snow |
 |
| Kent always joked that we planted the garden for Tahoe . . . he liked to pick his own veggies |
 |
| We called him our Unicorn |
 |
| I like to make greeting cards and Tahoe was often my favorite subject, he was so patient |
 |
Tahoe's last day with us
Goodbye, my man . . . see you when I get Home.
