In Loving Memory of Taco Mazurk
March 1, 1992 – September 8, 2009

John’s twitter on 09/09/09 read:

Our uniquely special, full of personality little guy is gone. The house is so empty and quiet without him. His little black body used to bullet across the floor, dancing and carrying on conversations with whomever he chased. He made us laugh, gave us unconditional love, and jump-started our days with his high energy and talkative jibber.

He drank directly from the faucet, tried to steal food from our plates, his tiny white paw slipping beneath our arms to swipe a morsel. He sat by my computer while I wrote, purring softly to keep me company and chatted through the window with Mr. Squirrel. He called his brother, Tequilla, out of the bedroom at two in the morning to wrestle, and was true to the minute as John’s morning alarm clock. 

Even the way he climbed the spiral staircase made us giggle. Up each step until he reached the third from the top, where he would stop, look around as if he expected a monster to pounce on him, then in a flash – he’d jump over the last few steps and streak across the room. There was never a dull moment with him around.

Our love for him is so great our hearts clench at the thought of never being able to hug him again. He lived a full life, accepted every adventure with panache, and enriched our lives like no one else ever will. There’s a huge hole in our hearts and a sadness that we can’t imagine will ever dissipate!

We love you, Taco and we always will. You’ll be missed for eternity. Love, Mom & Dad.
