Today we are grateful to our many furends who have come by to render their condolences and sympathy on the sudden, unexpected graduation to the heavenly realms of our dear brofur, Minko.
So here is a selfie made in March, 2011.

| Angel Minko being rather haughty...or maybe regal? (March, 2011) |
Angel Minko 'came home' a few days ago. He has a beautiful little wooden box. When petcretary gets it together, she will make a special spot to display this along with the many cards she has received.
She thanks all of our blogging friends for all the ongoing support.

| Minko knew how to be silly...and this picture is not at the wrong angle, MOL! |
This weeks Sunday Selfie Blog Hop has kindly been dedicated to Angel Minko and another recent angel, Bilbo, from the DB Boys.
So here once again are the mementos for them:
 |
| Minko was a fluffy kitten who grew up to a handsome mancat... |
And yet another beloved blogging pal has received the gift of Angel wings.
Bailey from Idaho Pug Ranch. Hugs and much sympathy to his family at this time.
Very nice memory pictures and flashback pics.
ReplyDeleteMinko will never really leave as long as you have your memories.
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
That is so true. Thank you.
DeleteThose are lovely selfies. Minko was very handsome and will be sadly missed.
ReplyDeleteHe was handsome and I miss him evfur so much. I want him back...especially all the mischief he did around here to liven it up:(
DeleteBut...I know it is not possible...
Minko will be so dearly missed, and has brought many happy smiles to our faces since we have been blogging. And now, even though has graduated and has his wings, he blesses us with such sweet and delightful selfies, such sweet memories to drive away the tears and remember the good in everyone.
ReplyDeleteGentle purrs to you all. Erin
Thanks so much Erin, you are a furry wise kitty.
DeleteWe love seeing your photos from back in the day. Love and purrs from all of us!
ReplyDeleteTimmy, Dad and Family
Thanks, Timmy and furmily.
DeleteThose are some great memories ,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteYes they sure are, and we are so glad we have them. My other angel furs do not have nearly as many 'captured' memories as now with a digital camera. And we were not on any social site or blogging back then...but they too are forever in our hearts.
DeleteWhat a handsome fellow Minko always was, we are still in deep sadness over him being gone. We always looked forward to seeing his gorgeous face. They always leave us too quickly and too soon. But we are happy to see his beautiful selfie this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was so sudden with no warning...no time to hardly even think about it...at least his suffering was not long...
DeleteThere are lots of pictures...and also a ton of oops ones, too. MOL!
What a gorgeous boy! Sorry to hear about Minko--just read about your loss on Cat on My Head
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is kind of you that you stopped by. We appreciate it a lot.
DeleteWhat a sad week in Blogville. We are so sorry to hear of Minko, we are sending lots f hugs and snuggles your way.

It is so sad. It would be great to have a break from all this sadness...for maybe many months...we can only wish and hope. Hugs and purrs and soft aroos back to you, too.

Thanks so much Sid-Henry and LadyMum.
DeleteIt *is* a hard thing to deal with but we are muddling through as best we can.
Petcretary had a weepy bit at her work last night, when she told a co worker about it all...then you wipe your eyes and get on with it. Maybe the hard work petcretary does is a good therapy and distraction.
Nice selfies today. Lots of purrs to you, since I know you are still missing Minko lots.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Summer.
DeleteOh dear, we're so very sorry to hear Minko has crossed that Rainbow Bridge. M said her heart is breaking for all of you. It's so hard to lose a furbaby. M sends a big HUG to your human.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mario and your M.
DeleteLuv da fotos and we're so glad he is home once again. We know it's not da same, but it sure does help somehow. We're sendin' big hugs and lots of purrayers. Ifin ya' need anythin' just holler.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'
Dezi and Raena
We let Pipo and dog-guy have a sniff of the little wooden box, but they just sniffed and then went about their own doings. Its sealed tightly...I want to make a little name plate to fasten to it and maybe a bit of some whiskers...of which I do have a few.
DeleteThanks so much for you kind words, they really do help a lot.
Beautiful photos of Minko. So sad to see that more have left this earth. XO
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes it is sad...
DeleteWhat beautiful photos of Minko, he shure wuz a handsome guy.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes he was a looker!
DeleteI am heartbroken. Minko was such a lovely boy! And HANDSOME!!! I know you and the rest of the family are missing him.
ReplyDeleteNellie, however, has told me she is happy to have such a ravishing Man Cat to accompany her on her rainbow adventures.
Sending you love and strength and hugs
Barbie
Thanks Miss Barb. Minko and Nellie are likely raising a lot of rumpus there...MOL! Minko was not furry large, but Nellie was so teeny and lithe, that Minko will seem gigantic beside her...what a cute pair:)
DeleteWe didn't know Bailey, but we send his family our condolences. You all looked wonderful in your Mother's Day photos. Minko was such a handsome fellow. We know he is missed here and all around the blogosphere. Please accept our purrs and prayers as you continue to grieve. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, all you Kitties Blue.
DeleteWe didn't know any of you but we send our love for your loss.
ReplyDeleteEmma and Buster
Thanks so much, for your kind words and for stopping by to visit us here.
Deletewhat a beautiful selfie... Minko's eyes are so wonderful like this mountain creeks... it was a hard week for so many peeps&pets... we often wish we could do more than just sending a virtual hug....
ReplyDeleteOh, My, Phenny, you are making petcretary;s eyes leak again. She nevfur thought of his eyes like that, but yes you are spot on with the comparison of clear blue mountain streams...
DeleteVirtual hugs help a lot...more than you know. But we do know what you mean.
Thank you so much for all those virtual hugs, and maybe a lick from you? MJF is a good licker and send some wiggly wags to you all. He really had to wiggly hard to send them across the big pond...
That is a gorgeous picture of Minko.....I know it's hard "bringing them home" too. We carry them in our hearts always of course but wish we could feel that soft fur and hear the purr one last time. The remembrance badges are just GORGEOUS for all our friends who have left.....gone but NEVER forgotten.
ReplyDeleteLove, Pam (and Teddy too)
Thanks, Teddy and Miss Pam. Right now Minko is on the bookcase along with some precious things from petcretary's pawrents. Pipo & Minko nevfur met them...sigh... I miss hm sitting between me and the confuser keyboard the most...it was his own idea of cuddle time:)
DeleteThere have been some sad times in Blogville the last couple months with the loss of so many cherished friends.
ReplyDeleteWe always love your memorial pictures, though. We like how you put so many squirrels in Mr. Bailey's picture. At first you'd think, why squirrels? The answer is: dog heaven is where all the bad squirrels go.
That for sure made petcretary BOL/MOL! Bad squirrels go to doggy heaven. Spot on!!
DeleteShe put those in there cause most pups love to chase them so now is his chance...or maybe they are all furends up there? Who knows...
that selfie is just exquisite, sending you continued (((hugs))) and love. We have Minko on the sidebar of our blog xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you Caren. That is so sweet of you to have Minko residing on your blog.
DeleteThanks so much, Yael.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs to you, Pipo, Dog Guy, Mom and Pop. Minko was indeed a handsome mancat, missed by all.
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry for the loss of your fur pals Bilbo and Bailey.
With love to all, Meep and Meowmie
Oh, Meep. Thanks so much.
DeleteYou have a new angel in your furmily too...
Hugs and lots of love.
What a handsome Selfie of Angel Minko. It's good to have memories, but they'll always be so missed😿 Soft Pawkisses😽❤😻
ReplyDeleteThank you. That is so true...memories are good to have, pocketed away in our hearts, but...we would love to have the real one with us...
DeletePurrs and hugs to you, too.

Minko was such a handsome boy. We continue to send you many purrs to help ease the sadness you are feeling.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. We sure do miss him a lot. Evfurrywhere I look I think that in a moment he will be there doing something naughty or looking for his fave mousie...
DeleteThe lovely pictures are good memories...
ReplyDeleteYes they sure are, and we are so glad that petcretary has a gazillion of them. The trouble is...which one(s) to make into a print to frame for her memorial shelf? Maybe she will need to make a collage:)
DeleteYou will always have good memories of Minko. We are so sorry he graduated.
ReplyDeleteThanks so furry much.
DeleteHow sweet to remember your friends in their grief. Loss is so hard, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Loss is devastating. But we somehow muddle our way through it.
DeleteI'm so sad to learn of Minko's passing. Tight hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteOur visits to you are always a pleasure, seeing Minko and the family. Now there is one less and I am sat here catching up after a busy week and it all hits home again - Minko is gone. I am glad he is home safe with you all.
ReplyDeleteBless you Minko.
Thanks so much. Minko is missed...and yes, petcretary is glad to have him here in spirit...and nearby in his little box.
DeleteI am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI'm so very sorry to be late extending my condolences regarding your precious Minko. I don't get to visit blogs much any more and I'm certain Minko has settled in at the Rainbow Bridge, surrounded by many angel friends. I'm honored Minko graced the pages of Makin' Biscuits and know he is bringing smiles to those that read about his antics! Purrs from Deb and the Zee/Zoey gang
