Happy Trails, Bruno

 

 

Farewell and happy trails to Brunelleschi “Bruno” Catalano, the puppy formerly known as Elvis. I waited my whole life for you—I hope you’ll wait for me now.

 

 

 

 

You have been the best adorable puppy pain in the butt, yard work impeder, winter foot warmer, and snoring writing companion, not to mention the most enthusiastic and random running partner, the most worried nanny, the most dedicated night watchman, and the most fanatical licker of beer bottles.

 

 

You awed us with your wily ways of outsmarting training techniques. You touched our hearts when you jumped out of your comfort zone and into the pool to rescue your children. We learned so much from your deep understanding of acceptance, love, and loyalty. We will miss you.

 

Wherever you are, may all the rabbits know that you want to play; may you scamper up trees with the squirrels and leap high enough to reach the birds.

 

 

 

 

 

My beloved companion for over four and a half thousand sunrises and sunsets, it could never have been enough time. Thank you for what we shared. My heart is better for what you took with you—and what you left with me.

 

We have so many beautiful memories of our puppy--keep scrolling if you wish...
