"TASHA"
December 30, 1993 - September 14, 2007
(Am. Ch. Foxlair's Kandiman x Am. Can. Ch. Sirius's Ice EE Hot)

Tasha was a very special girl.  She proved that Siberians *can* do it in
the obedience ring.  As an Obedience Trial Champion with multiple all breed
High in Trials to her credit, she taught Jackie a lot about how to train a
Siberian for obedience.

Tasha was diagnosed with cancer at 13 1/2 years young.  On Friday, September
14, 2007 we had to assist her passing.  Right up to the end she was alert
and trying her best to hold on to that strong spirit that had kept her
going.  The night before her passing she was her normal self - telling
Jackie off about wanting more food.

Tasha was special beyond words to us, particularly Jackie.  She was our
first Siberian - the reason we have our kennel today.  She was Jackie's
first obedience dog.

She was the matriarch, no question.  We miss that demanding bark when she
insisted to be fed faster, let back in the house or generally have her needs
met in a more expeditious fashion.

She lived a long, full life, but not long enough for us.
