From Ainsley McKenna, Angus’s Adopted sister, and Biological Niece (I’m his brother’s daughter):
Angus passed away yesterday afternoon. His lymphoma spread quickly, and he was in quite a lot of distress, and had stopped eating…anything.
With the lymphoma and the cushings, and now with the lymphoma spreading quickly and into the intestines, the staff just couldn’t put him through anymore. They didn’t want the little man to suffer needlessly.
Angus thought he would have time to make a proper goodbye. But in the end, he just didn’t feel like doing anything. So I am taking charge and notifying you beloved readers, his friends, everyone of you.
So, looking as much as I could emotionally take at his old pics, I found one from 10 years ago. April 2005. One you haven’t probably seen before. Just a pic of Angus (looking a lot like me, I dare to add) with his beloved hooman sis, while she was still at home and in high school.
Just an ordinary picture of an ordinary day of an extraordinary Scottie.
By the way, as the new chief executive of Angus Fala Worldwide, I will be taking over this page soon. I never could pretend I’m Angus, and can’t manage like him, and don’t have his voice. Though we are blood, I’m my own Scottie. But I’m gonna take a little break before I start posting here. I’m sure you understand.
Ainsley McKenna, CEO
Angus Fala Worldwide Enterprises
My heart goes out to your family ❤️

I love this picture. I miss Angus greatly; he was a part of my daily life. However, I am glad to see you stepping into your executive role. On the matter of what we discussed yesterday, I believe that an immediate dismissal is due for Mr. Bear. Aunt Judy is a great judge of character and I don’t see her throwing a thumbs up in his direction. Also, on your first agenda, I think you need to enforce a stricter feline policy. I mean, what self-respecting Scottie lays around with cats. It’s bad enough that your daddy is named Catman. Just remember: Give a cat an inch and he’ll jump up on the counter. You should consider having that printed up for your desk. Condolences and congratulations are a two edged sword. Regardless, you have ours and we are at your service. ~ Indy and Lucy

Angus Fala was writing this blog because the Zuckerman was throwing pet accounts off Facebook. Well, in true Angus fashion he showed that Zucker who was in charge of if and when he would leave FB. God speed dearest Angus, you will be missed. We at our house know Ainsley, you will be up to filling those huge paws he has left behind. I treasure all the fun I have had reading and participating in Angus’ escapades. At rest now soldier.

Having just gone through this, we know how you feel. You have no bird to take over the blog? The decision to help them cross is easy when they’re suffering and the quality of life is a minus number. Angus was fortunate, most Scotties don’t get to celebrate their 13th birthday.

Near this spot
Are deposited the Remains
of one
Who possessed Beauty
Without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of Man
Without his Vices.
When some proud son of man returns to earth,
Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth,
The sculptor’s art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rests below.
When all is done, upon the tomb is seen,
Not what he was, but what he should have been.
But the poor dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his master’s own,
Who labors, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonored falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth —
While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.
Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour,
Debased by slavery, or corrupt by power —
Who knows thee well must quit thee with disgust,
Degraded mass of animated dust!
Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat,
Thy smiles hypocrisy, thy words deceit!
By nature vile, ennobled but by name,
Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame.
Ye, who perchance behold this simple urn,
Pass on — it honors none you wish to mourn.
To mark a friend’s remains these stones arise;
I never knew but one — and here he lies.
– Lord Byron
