So very many beautiful times
we shared - running along the beach,
playing ball in the garden,
chasing you all around
the backyard - My heart’s
still healing as
I’ll love you
always,
Bud.

Quick Note: This is a photo of Cleo, who became unwell a couple of years ago now and was put to sleep. Predominantly, she was my sister’s boxer, but for all intents and purposes she was OUR family dog, as over the years she would often have extended stays at my place, then my parents’ house then back to my sister’s place. ☺️ 🐕 ❤️

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Cleo was beautiful. Great tribute Nonet poem for sure!!!!
She looks a good dog and now she's been immortalised. A fitting tribute.
This is a sweet tribute to dear sweet Cleo… so bright eyed❤️.
So heartbreaking!! I'm so sorry for your loss Grz, great nonet though!! 💚
Aw, so sorry, but happy for the Nonet doggie. Dogs freak me out ever since I had a million rabies shot as a kid, I love em from afar. The poem was lovely.
Lost a few myself G, nice tribute to your loss, 😊😊
I miss my dogs too, have not been able to replace them with others. Loved your nonet.
I love dogs. So sorry for your loss, Grz. Cleo was and still is a beauty!
Ahhhh such a moving piece. Dogs may have only one owner (or none) but have many friends. Thanks for sharing this story of you best bud
CLEO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And you'll always miss him.
This is beautiful, and so sad. Pets truly do steal our hearts and it hurts like hell to lose them.
Aw, this brought a tear to my eye. 🥹 What a wonderful tribute to your dear furr-friend. It's so hard when they have to leave us. :( Thank you so much for sharing, Grz!
Heartfelt and tender. Nicely done. We recently lost a dog to old age that we had from a small puppy. She was my wife's heart and had a big piece of mine. It is hard, but we persevere to love again.
It hurt so much when you lose a dear pet 😔
Dogs are such great life companions, too bad they have to leave for Heaven early.
Much love to you and Cleo.
