I wanted to share my favorite dog on earth, Cleo. Cleo passed over to the Rainbow Bridge on June 6, 2016. So it's been 6 months and I still miss her terribly. I wanted to share her with this community because, well, she was a dog and I loved her so much. I adopted Cleo in 2010, when she was 8 years old and a bigger dog and I didn't know what I was going to get into. She was a husky greyhound mix and had the best of both worlds. Loved snow, strong and fast like a greyhound, rarely barked, and was pretty lazy (greyhounds).Those signs you see that say "Who Rescued Who?" That was us to the core. She saved me in so many ways. We had 6 great and fun years together. She was so funny and sweet and gentle. She loved the snow! We went camping, hiking, a lot of places. We always spent time together. Starting in 2015, I saw her health starting to deteriorate. Every day became a struggle of getting her to eat. I tried everything and near the end, she got whatever she wanted and whatever she could eat. She got all of the love from me, her two mini-dachshund cousins and her two kitties (we have a full house!). I stopped trying to date, because I wanted to spend time with her. We often just cuddled or ran around the big field. One day, she just stopped and fainted. I took her to the vet, she was tired. We made the decision to let her pass on on June 6th. I carried her (she was once up to 65 pounds) to go potty and spend one last day outside. We came home and spent the day in bed, listening to good music and just relaxing. She had friends come and pay their respects. And I had a vet come to my home and help her pass over. It was so difficult, but the right decision. I think of her every day. I have her ashes next to my desk on a shelf and her picture up. So I just wanted her to have her few moments on Reddit and to share her beauty with you all. She changed my world for the better. And I know you all feel the same way about your pups.

She would have been 15 years old in August. She lived and loved a long and adventurous life. Love you Cleo!

Thanks for letting me share!
