My Life
I lived with my human parents Miro & Andrea and my human brother Nicholas.
My human parents named me Romeo. I was born in Canada where I lived for about 7 years of my life.
I watched Nicholas grow from going to school as a small 5 yr old all the way to University and him learning to drive a car and having a girlfriend.
I had a horrible accident when I was about 6 months old. I foolishly climbed the fence and fell onto a rake which punctured both of my lungs. The vet said there was no hope for me and that I should be put to sleep forever. My whole family was heartbroken.
My human mom wanted nothing to do with that sleep solution. She found a vet at Guelph University Where I had an experimental surgery which removed about 80% of my lungs. Be that as it may I lived a full life with only one lobe in my left lung.
I traveled a lot throughout the USA, Mexico and Europe. I lived in Spain and completed my life journey in Florida Usa . My human dad took me everywhere as a small pup in a shoulder bag. Miro kept telling me “you are a boy Romeo ” and that some people don’t like furry boys. I learned to play hide and seek in my bag & my human dad took me to the office with him, movie theaters restaurants & everywhere! I dont know for sure however there’s a good possibility I was spoiled silly.
In some of the pictures is a German Shepherd named Napoleon. (1996 -2009) He was my BIG brother! The other pic of a cat is Foxy. (Pictured with my human dad in his younger years) Foxy was obviously my half sister as she is a Lynx Point Siamese cat. (1983 -2002)
The white poodle in the pictures is my wife Julietta aka Cheeks. My human mom brought her home in 2011 and I had sort of a love hate relationship with Cheeks. I’m more of a laid back soft spoken “life is good live and let live” type, where Cheeks is a complete jock and athletic. No birds or ducks were safe in a park. To me going to a park was an outing I looked forward to so I can say hello to all creatures big or small.
Napoleon taught me to be a good guard dog. I did not approve of any visitors or tradesmen coming to the house. My size did not stop me. I’m showing them who the boss is.
I got married in Las Vegas in 2016 after dating Cheeks since 2011 (not by choice). My human mom had all that pre arranged in downtown Vegas at a novelty carnival shop. I never knew what hit me. Pictures of Cheeks are here on this web site.
I preferred the slow life pace. I liked my sleep (noonie) and my human mom called me Noonie Dog. Nicholas also had a pet name for me Piggy Wiggy. Yes I loved human food!
My love for human food may have contributed to my health. In my later years in 2022 I was diagnosed with cancer and underwent another surgery. In the end I lived a full life and gave my family countless memories. I got my wings in December 2023 despite my human parents taking me to many vets my journey was complete.
Enjoy the Romeo Dog site, the electronic memorial my family gave me so my memory with all will persist.
If you like pets as much as my human family does, remember to donate to the humane society of your choice to help less fortunate puppets.
