Tar (Tarbaby) was born April 1, 1977, and her death was October 9, 1990. I got her July forth of 1978. She was from Maryland. .  She was a blue ribbon winning show dog before she was given to Pilot.   

I have never seen a lab wag it's tail the way Tar did.  She would wag her tail from the shoulders back.  Some times
she would hit herself in the face, she would wag so hard. 

The big thing that happened to Tar and me, was that we were trapped in an elavorator.  The firemen got me out first, and someone on the elavoritor held her.  After I was safely off the elavoritor, I was told to tell her to come, and when I did she jumped and the firemen caught her in the air.  She was so glad to be back with me. 

Tar was always my lady, to the day she died.  She is the
first angel waiting for me.
