Farewell Old Pal!

Ming the Merciless died Monday.
Were together for over fifteen years, most marriages don't
last that long.
His happpiest times were when we traveled in the bus
and I would place his pillow up on the dashboard so he
could bark at all the town dogs plus help me watch for
the arrows.

Oh, I'm so sorry Uncle Buckles! I hope you're doing well with the loss. Maybe you'll find it in your heart to get another "mini-ming" someday! Love to you and my Aunt. Dee Ann

I feel your sadness, Buckles. We lost a MalPoo that we had had for 17 years, it's like losing a beloved member of the family. Anna May has someone to keep her company. Out heartfelt sympathies go out to you and Barbara. ~frank & pati ferrante

Buckles,so sorry to hear of the loss of your pet doggie. I know how you feel. We have one at 16, that is not long for this world and it hurts like losing a family member, because they are. Sad to hear this. Karen

They give us unconditional love and it is hard to part with them. Feel your pain.......It is a great loss. Only another dog lover understands the connection. Charles Hanson

As Mr. Hansen said, only another dog lover could understand the pain and grief of this loss. I am so sorry for you and Barbara. Find comfort in knowing he'll be waiting for you on the other side.

Buckles and Barbara, We too are so sorry to learn of your loss. As others have said, it's losing a member of your family.
Two of our favorite recollections of Ming are visiting with you folks at Lincoln Center the TV on and you saying to Ming, "See the doggie? Go get the doggie!" His response was so priceless, especially because the TV was so high.
The other is when you would get out a wisk broom, Ming would lock his teeth onto it and you'd do a couple of 360's. Again, priceless.
15 years, a great run for a great little buddy. RIP
