Cash, my Schnauzer passed away today aged 15, so though I would post one of my favorite coins:
C. Mamilius C.f. Limetanus Ca. 82 BC. Silver Serrate Denarius (3.81 g). Rome.
When Odysseus returns home after twenty years disguised as a beggar and his old dog, who had been neglected, recognizes him:
"So they spoke. And a dog, lying there, lifted its head and *****ed up its ears. Argus was the hound of noble Odysseus, who had bred him himself, though he sailed to sacred Ilium before he could enjoy his company. Once the young men used to take the dog out after wild goat, deer and hare, but with his master gone he lay neglected by the gate, among the heaps of mule and cattle dung that Odysseus' men would later use to manure the fields. But suddenly aware of Odysseus' presence, he wagged his tail and flattened his ears, though no longer strong enough to crawl to his master. Odysseus turned his face aside and hiding it from Eumaeus wiped away a tear ...

Nice coin
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
As for your post, "in memorium" ,especially the text, I'm already counting it as a DPOTD even if this little honorary title that we were giving to members who had posted something exceptional has fallen into decay, a little bit like the stuff that you wrote.
And if my memory is correct, it was 'kat who was unofficially awarding them, but I took the liberty to nominate it.

Well Jeff, when they'll have kids of their own, they'll know that this wasn't true (I assume that they do not have any yet), even though I get the feeling that they instinctively already know this, despite the "complaints".
