If there is a doggie heaven, and I'm pretty sure there is, Ted Kennedy's beloved Portugese water dog named Splash is there and has been reunited with his late Master. "I like to think that he and his Master are playing tennis ball fetch again tonight," Vicki Kennedy said in an email announcing the 13 year old dog's death on Christmas Eve. According to the UPI report, Kennedy and his beloved dogs could often be spotted in Washington parks playing the tennis ball game.
Splash was one of three Portugese Water dogs owned by Kennedy and the inspiration for the Obamas to get the same breed when they chose a dog for their family.
Splash was a honorary member of the Senate Democratic caucus, made so by Senator Paul Sarbanes after he witnessed Splash barking at Joe Biden and Paul Wellstone when they didn't stop talking during a meeting.
"He hated squirrels, but he loved to chase them. He also loved to sail. And he could bark with the best of them, especially if you were a Republican or even a Democrat (other than his Master) who talked too loudly or too long," Vicki Kennedy recalled.
