Marz came into the family on Christmas Day and he was part of the family for 14 years. He was strong and independent.

In his younger days he was adventurous and playful, always getting into things he shouldn't, like leaving mice heads around the house or falling off of high ledges and spraining his leg. Early on he had some medical issues, developing crystals in his bladder, however it never held him back in life. He had 2 canine brothers that passed away in his lifetime. He lived in 9 different places and got to travel through Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

As Marz got older he loved to cuddle, lay in the sun, and go for walks. Unfortunately, he also got kidney disease, but he still had a wonderful year of life before the end.
