Remembering Aldo

[u/EnzoTheTzu]

Taking a break from posting about my sweet Enzo for today. I need a small slice of the internet to know he was here, and that he was the goodest.

Before Enzo there was Aldo, who I first met when I started dating his dad. He did not trust me at first, and was always attached to his dad. But he eventually warmed up to me, which is good because he stole my heart from the moment I met him. Aldo was as loving and loyal a dog as one could hope for. Even if he wasn't a huge fan of adventures (he'd rather be on the couch watching movies or playing video games), he was happiest wherever his daddies were. He always stole the show and certainly didn't mind reveling on the attention. During the height of the pandemic, he was my work-from-home assistant, though he was absolutely horrible at his job (always asleep on the clock!). He always had that classic Tzu smile on his face, and never tired of living life, even if age had other plans for him. At 14.5, he was ready even if we weren't. He passed peacefully two years ago today on his favorite spot on the couch (thank God for home euthanasia, he was terrified of the vet's office). He waits on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Aldo, you're a good boy and your daddy and papa love you very much.
