Cleo was a very special pup. I loved her so much! She smiled every time she came into my home and loved playing with Piper. She overcame so many things and loved her peeps so fiercely. We all miss this girl!❤️

Thank you for sharing this. It is absolutely perfect the way it is, errors included. I’m so very grateful the world gave you and Cleo each other.

It was so beautifully written and I’m

weeping at 4am thinking of all the dogs I have loved and lost, and feeling so lucky to have had those relationships in my life.

So weirdly I took a picture of my shadow walking my dog Candy last night because she has coming up on Tuesday, and it felt like something important I had to do. To keep her safe, and it was so strange to see you had taken a similar picture of Cleo…to keep your memories of her safe.

Thank you again, for sharing your story and her life with us.

Thank you, Wake! I really appreciate you reading and weeping at 4 am!! I’m so glad you’ve had dogs that have made you feel so deeply loved. 🩷 that is so interesting that you were loved to take a similar picture of Candy! Sometimes we know in the moment just what our future selves will need. Good luck to Candy and to you! (What a cute name!!)

Thank you for reading about Cleo’s life 🩷🩷 it is a joy to share about it

Wow, Kaia! I NEEDED this one. Thank you for writing; it’s got me in tears. Grief is such a powerful thing—a transformative teacher, just like sweet Cleo. Sending love to her and you. 🩷🩷🩷
