Talisker 3/6/1997 - 12/15/2008 "a.k.a. Mr. T (he pitied the fool), or One who sits fancy"It's with heavy heart, and deep fondness that I look back on the life of such a sweet creature. Talisker was a rescue in every sense, from his humble beginnings as a neglected show dog, to his glorious end as a rough and tumble hiker. But in his naive frailty and his sweet demeanor he so endeared himself to all. A leash was wasted money with Talisker, for he never wanted to be far from us...always looking up longingly "Am I being a good boy?" Yes boy, you're good.
Talisker got to live much larger than any of his show dog brethren; having acres of forest to romp around in, wonderful companions like Bandit and then Tiki, trips to Candlewood Lake, the bogs and trails, and traveling across country to incredible locations where he was a sight so out of place, you'd think a movie crew was somewhere close without their star.
Like the Scotch of his namesake, Talisker was a top shelf, sophisticated and proud little boy. He always seemed to find that one ray of sunshine in which to perch, front paws crossed, chest out and lighting up the entire scene with his smiling eyes. That little guy would also light up your soul when you needed a friend most...he always knew. He was always there, by our side looking up...
Yes Talisker, you're a good boy.
