I put up another page about Taz, not sure if any of you would want to read all through it as it's meant more for those friends and family that knew him (and just for me to kind of get down some of my memories of him in a tangible form so I never forget)...but you might enjoy all the cute photos

Kavik died when monk was just two, but he still talks about him and his death. I suppose it was like losing a brother because Kavik played with him all the time. I would expect a lot does depend on the type of pet and the amount of attachment they have to it. I did have a lot of cats growing
