My Dog Sasha....

Memorialized as a Meerschaum pipe.







I was cleaning out the cabinets in my home office and found this pipe. It's a Meerschaum sculpture of our dog Sasha
given to me by my then girlfriend back in 1982. She was a sweet mutt and this brought back some nice memories. The detail on the pipe is amazing and the likeness quite accurate. The signature on the pipe is Baloi and I have no idea if it was carved by a local
artisan or carved in Turkey

I need to do this for my dog when she goes, best damn dog I ever had. Beautiful memorial. I hope all your smokes out of it conjure fond memories

With people as with creatures, death ends a life but never a relationship. My cats look at me from photographs and any dark room or shady bush. Well, two are still on duty, supervising me as best they can.

If I called my better half a “Sweet Mutt” I wouldn’t be able to see outta both eyes for a week.

That’s a beauty of a pipe. Really. Love it!

The dog was the sweet mutt, the girlfriend turned out to be a real bitch though. Our parting words were "you go but leave the dog"

That is a cool idea. I would have never thought of doing that. Girlfriends may come and go but a dog's love will always last even when there is no money for treats.

Just put a fur pal to rest a couple of months ago. It would have been nice to have something like this now.

Awesome meerschaum, and what a great way to remember a steadfast companion.
