Toto joined his friend Rambo last night, peacefully in his sleep. He was my constant companion for almost eighteen years, but was never the same after Rambo left us in 2020. This was one of their last pictures together, taken at Black Canyon City, Arizona on March 17, 2020.
My deepest condolences for your loss. It is always painful to lose a buddy. You are fortunate that he passed peacefully rather than needing to make the decision to ease his pain.
The four legged buddies offer unconditional love for a bit of attention.
It is an unfortunate reality that we are only on this plane of existence for a limited time but, it is natural.
I hope you have plenty of sweet memories to ease the pain.
Ditto on our 4-legged unconditionally loving friends.
My condolences. I hope the spirit of Toto will live on, continuing to pull back the curtain on the sham that the climate issue is.
One is better for loving and losing than for never loving at all. You are a lucky man, Tony, to have been blessed for so long with 2 of the world’s greatest dogs. As Brad wished, I hope great memories partially fill the physical void.
Been there many times too. Best wishes.
I also hope you are much consulted by the new administration.
sorry to hear about that Tony.
all the best
That’s an impressive age.
Rest in peace Toto.
So sorry for your loss Tony.
So sorry for your loss. You gave him a happy life and your memories of that happiness will be with you. I hope that thought helps you.
I loved following his journeys through your wild landscapes and your assurances that he was keeping an eye on the perfidy of the catastrophists.
May the young’uns thrive!
Best wishes
Farewell Toto.
Wow! Very sorry to hear!
Now he’ll be “pulling back the curtain” from above.
I believe that at some point in time, you will be reunited again.
The love we have for them and they for us is everlasting.
Tony, I am grateful for you that you had 19 years to share this world with Toto. From what I seen he couldn’t have had a better dad. May you be reunited.
Years ago columnist Michael Storey featured his cat Otis in a Saturday Arkansas Democrat-Gazette column called “Otis the Head Cat.” It was a much beloved column of humorous fabrication ostensibly written by Otis. The cat had his photograph in each column.
Well, the time came for the elderly Otis to pass on. The following Saturday a new photograph of Otis appeared. Otis now had a halo over his head and Otis told us that he would transmit his weekly column from the Great Beyond to owner, Michael Storey. The column continued until the time owner Michael Storey himself died and thus joined Otis in the Great Beyond.
Otis told marvelous yarns about the annual arrival of humidity pods at the beginning of the Arkansas summer. Be careful and don’t let one envelope you! He also wrote about the plight of Arkansas Velcro farmers.
So Toto can continue doing his wonderful job of pulling back the curtain on climate alarmism just as he has always done. He can keep watch from dog heaven and pass along to Tony all that he sees down here on Earth. The halo would look good on him.
Very sorry to hear about Toto. Any dog lover knows how hard it is to lose a close companion. We all feel we know him.
Since we are close to Burns’ Night I’ll quote the poet:
Had we never lov’d sae kindly,
Had we never lov’d sae blindly,
Never met — or never parted —
We had ne’er been broken-hearted.
Or as the late Elizabeth II said “Grief is the price we pay for love.”
I’m sorry for you Tony, we lost a sweet little cat last November at 15 years old and her brother the year before in November, so we know the sense of loss you are going through.
Sorry about Toto. Dying in his sleep sounds like the best way to go. We have a little toy poodle that is 16, blind, deaf, and losing her sense of smell.
Very sorry about Toto’s passing.
You have my condolences.
So sorry for your loss
