My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

That is a family pet in a nutshell. Nice pic Tara and splendid text.

Oh yes! She would be thrilled, if she could read this, that she has made herself so clear.

A very sweet write up. And yes, they do talk loud and clear. I know which whine or bark means outside, want up on the bed, need hug, want cookie. And they understand our language as well. Cookie, toothbrush, toy, bed, potty, pen, closet.. yes, I cleared a closet out for them and leave the sliding door just open enough for them to get in. They like the den feel it has.

We have always called our dog (excuse me Kai Li) a fur person. She is indeed a person and can indeed talk using her own language and facial expressions. We do not give them enough credit for the incredible intelligence that they keep firmly under their control. Thank God for fur people.

Wonderful description of your special and wonderful furkid, Mandy. I hope that soon I will get a chance to meet her in person. Beautiful write up about her

What a wonderful portrait and dedication for the lady of the house. Dogs are very special creatures. They always seem to give more than they receive.

Hehe good writing and an insight into the remarkable world of dogs.

Oh yes, I recognise alot of these expressions and attitudes. A super loving story about your little furry baby :) Mandy is such a pretty little lady :) Magnus isnt barking as much as before. We think he doesnt hear quite as well as before. He just wants his food and to have his naps, lie in the sun for a short while and then have another nap. He is pretty tired, old and to other dogs a bit grumpy. :)

This is just wonderful, Tara! Mandy's a sweetie, all right! I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to rub noses with her... :-D Hope to visit with her again (as well as you and Bill LOL) soon!

So true, in every way; they know time, and not day, so an alarm wakeup on a workday must be followed up by a concerned wakeup on a weekend..."shouldn't you be getting up now?" And don't get me started on Daylight Savings Time/Standard Time!
