Romeo, You made our life so much better and now that you are gone, life is now so much harder.

You always brought so much love and happiness into our hearts and souls, you will never know just how much...

We miss you more everyday and no, it is not getting easier with time...

                                                                                                                We Love you, Mommy and Daddy

I never ever knew that I could love anyone so much as I love you. You really are "My Best Friend"...

                                                                                                                                  I love you, daddy

Boating Romeo, which was his favorite...

Below is a video where Romeo found my live bait well on our boat...

...I guess he just wanted to go fishing the easy way."

And in this video, Romeo is quite upset with Mommy cleaning up his room...

I can relate, I don't like when Laura cleans up after me either. :)

Wisdom by Romeo and things to remember as a DOG...

·      The Garbage Man is not stealing our stuff.

·      I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm lying under the coffee table.

·      I will not roll my toys behind the fridge, behind the sofa or under the bed.

·      I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house.

·      I will stop trying to find the few remaining pieces of clean carpet in the house when I am about to get sick.

·      I will not throw up in the car.

·      I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc. just because I like the way they smell.

·      "Kitty poop crunchies," although they are tasty, are not food and should not be eaten.

·      I will not eat any more Kleenex or napkins and then redeposit them in the backyard after processing.

·      The diaper pail is not a cookie jar. I repeat, the diaper pail is not a cookie jar.

·      I will not chew my human's toothbrush and not tell them.

·      I will not chew crayons or pens, especially not the red ones, or my people will think I am hemorrhaging.

·      When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it's raining outside.

·      We do not have a doorbell. I will not bark each time I hear one on. TV.

·      I will not steal my mom's underwear and dance all over the backyard with it.

·      The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are Mom & Dad's laps.

·      My head does not belong in the refrigerator.

·      I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for mom's driver's license and car registration.

·      I will not play tug-of-war with daddy's underwear when he's on the toilet.

·      I will not eat mint-flavored dental floss out of the bathroom garbage to avoid having a string hanging out of my butt.

·      I will not use "roll around in the dirt" as an option after just getting a bath.

·      Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is not an acceptable way of saying hello.

·      I will not hump on any person's leg just because I thought it was the right thing to do.

·      I will not fart in my owners face while sleeping on the pillow next to their head.

·      I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.

·      The toilet bowl is not a never-ending water supply and just because the water is blue, it doesn't mean it is cleaner.

·      I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when company is over (even though I can).

·      Suddenly turning around and smelling my butt can quickly clear a room.

·      The cat is not a squeaky toy, so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's not a good thing.
