From the day TJ came into my life at 5 days old (fostered his mama and siblings), he has always been incredibly loving, determined, and never let a day pass without making those around him laugh. He wouldn't take no for an answer, which usually meant he got a face mush or a lift onto the sofa so he could lay his chin on your lap. He had many nicknames - Wiggle Butt, Tail Wagger, Nose Jammer, Little Man, Bulldozer, PITA, Six Million Dollar Dog, and Angel Baby from Heaven (yes, I know... :-)). His theme song was "I get knocked down, but I get up again", due to the numerous life-threatening illnesses that he overcame. TJ was a dog who truly wanted to live - his strength and resilience was astonishing. He loved his family every day without fail and made sure we knew it. Thank you, TJ, for your unrelenting love. You will always be an inspiration to me.
