Cleo

  We had to say good bye to our sweet Cleo.  We are so grateful we had an amazing 10 years with her!!  She was the very best dog anyone could every ask for!  She was the most lovey, sweet, gentle natured, well mannered dog.  She loved to snuggle and be loved.  Hated camo clothes; we aren't sure why but would go crazy barking when ever someone came in the house wearing them (yes even Zach)! Loved her ears and her hips/bum scratched lol. She loved to play with her rope and play tug a war with the girls or anyone who would join in with her!  She loved Cheeto puffs and running outside.  Loved running around the tramp or laying under it while the girls jumped on it.  The girls said they'd never forget the time they (the girls, Hanna and Justice) were all playing on the tramp when Chase snuck in the back yard in Chubbuck to scare them and reached in the tramp enclosure to grab one of their feet and Cleo ran up and grabbed his bum cheek! She definitely loved and protected her girls...kids in general!! We weren't allowed to tickle, rough house or upset the girls without Cleo stepping in!!  If Cleo thought her girls were upset she would raise her hackles and jump to attention, barking and coming at you.  There was a time or two I was even a little nervous lol.  But as long as her girls were happy she was the most gentle docile dog around.  She loved to nuzzle her nose in to get loves or snuggles, that's what we will all miss the most, her snuggles and nose taps on your arm :).  We love you Cleo and you will be greatly missed!
