The late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s cuddly, curly-coated canine companion, Splash, has gone to Doggy Heaven.

Kennedy’s widow Vicki announced the death of the 13-year old Portuguese Water Dog to friends and family earlier this week.

All dogs go to Heaven.

Teddy...I'm not so sure about......

Does anyone else find it slightly offensive that he named his dog “Splash”? I mean, it seems like a reference to that woman he killed, does it not?

[ronnie raygun]

Splash...........no pun intended?

[Crim]

Ted Kennedy the U-boat commander named his dog splash?

You cant write comedy that good...

Far less significant than the 7 cents tax someone had to pay to buy a bag of M&Ms today.

HAVE A COOL YULE!

The dog had a more worthwhile and noble existence than that murderous,fat, traitorous ,trust fund scumbag.

“Teddy...I’m not so sure about......”

I don’t expect he’ll be meeting the dog.

All dogs go to Heaven.
Teddy...I'm not so sure about......

The dog was a loyal, and by far a more courageous soul than his owner.

Wonder how Ted felt at the moment he heard “Depart from me, I do not know you”...

Didn’t Red Ted have a couple staffers write a “children’s book” about this dog and put his name on it?

The Swimmer named his dog "Splash." Another ugly Kennedy joke reaches its sell-by date.

RIP to Splash... the noble member of that family.

Lets put a RHINO in Splash’ dog house.

[goat granny]

It was, to rub peoples nose in what he got away with....I hear he is still sober...

"RIP to Splash... the noble member of that family."

Anyone who has ever owned a dog understands the feeling of loss.

I hope the Kennedy family can find solace in knowing that Splash is in Heaven with Mary Jo now.

A Portuguese Water Dog named Splash. What a sick sense of humor the swimmer had.

[rawcatslyentist]

What kinda sick monkey names his dog splash after drowning his pregnant girl friend?

[bereanway]

This is getting a little embarrassing. I mean, I’m sure he was a great dog and all but there are hundreds of thousands of deaths annually that are much more tragic and don’t rate this type converage. I think something much more appropriate would be to conduct some old fashioned investigative journalism into the story behind Splash’s moniker and then publish a few tributes in memory of Mary Jo.

Mary Jo Kopecne could not be reached for comment.

I'll put the Orca lamp in the window for him.
