The Kinmundian made a 2013 resolution: Stop taking crap from giant stuff. I think he’s adding in a dash of Patrick Swayze’s Roadhouse philosophy: Be nice… Until it’s time to NOT be nice.
I don’t know how it slipped through the Friday Battlepuggage cracks, but I wanted to add a bit today about long-time BP supporter Tiffany who just went through what all pet owners dread. This is what she posted at the first of the month.
“Thank you for being in my life, for teaching me all about love, for being the best friend that I ever had. Fergie J. Neill, aka Big Baby, Mr. Pillowpaws, Black Sunshine, Mr. Fatty – July 16, 2005 – March 1, 2013″
It’s hard to read silly names about goofy dogs and not laugh a bit, but the animals we keep with us are really like family members and their loss is many times just as difficult to deal with. That’s why I post the tributes in the battlepuggage posts. I know it’s a downer sometimes, but look at that face. That buddy brought a lot of happiness to somebody. That’s worth typing some words about.
Our thoughts are with Tiffany and everybody else that is going through the same thing. Hug your dog, cat, lizard, ferret, capybara, etc. extra today.
Spread the word, won't you?
He was our boy joy. Our family. We love him so.
Awww, not a bummer. It reminds us that we owe more love to our babies, they love us so much.
Thanks, Mike. This was a wonderful thing to see this morning.
A fallen pug warrior affects the entire BP community. May he now rest in that big snow tribe in sky.
Without Pugs, I never would have even heard of Mike Norton, let alone Battlepug. Tiffany’s Fergie J. Neill was indeed a warrior in that Pug army. Have a good time searching for celestial crumbs on the floors of Valhalla…
I am so sorry <3 We lost our 2 1/2 year old Pug, Tilly, very unexpectedly in August, and we are still so heartbroken.
Awesome pugs. Though I’m normally a big-dog person, pugs are pretty crazy. Also, thank you thank you thank you for drawing the skullmonkey’s radius and ulna crossed! You just made a biophysics student’s day
