There is only one problem with this sentence - {bang} is listed only as a
noun in TKD, and not as a verb. We don't have a single Klingon word to
express the english verb "love".
So in order to say "I love the targie", you have a couple options:
You could find a verb that you can use in your original sentence, and put it
in the blank: {targhoy vI____}. Maybe {targhoy vIparHa'} "I like the
targie".
You could also use {bang}, as long as you use it as a noun. To say "The
targie is my beloved", you can look at the middle of page 68 of TKD to see
how to say that one noun is another noun. In this case, you would say:
{bangwIj 'oH targhoy'e'} "The targie is my loved one."

In the Klingon CD-ROM game, the Klingons serve {targh tIq} ("heart of targ")
as food. I don't much else about targs, though. If you have any other
comments or questions about targs, it's a good topic for practicing in
Klingon. For example, you could answer the questions: Are they loyal pets?
How many do you have? What is heart of targ like? etc.
Qapla'!
