A Tribute to Miniature Schnauzer Tia

by John Sarkozy
(Abbotsford BC, Canada)

Tia was our special little girl for 9 years. My wife and I never had children so she was and always will be our child. Her favorite activities included eating, eating and more eating - she loved organic baby carrots (they were her favorite). Tia loved sleeping curled up in her bed and going for road trips. She was the best traveler we have ever known. She loved to go for all kinds of trips, long and short.

Tia loved the warm sun in the back yard and disliked the cold rain. She was a real snuggle bug who loved nothing more than to curl up in our lap and have a peaceful sleep. We took her everywhere and never left her alone or with anyone else, all our activities were planned with her in mind.

My wife and her were together everyday for all 9 years and the only time I was apart from her was when I went to work but I got a wonderful welcome every time I came home for lunch or at the end of the day.

Tia really was the best companion we ever had or will ever know and we look forward to the day when God calls us home and we will be able to hold Tia in our arms forever.
