Almost eight years ago, we had no concept of the impact you would make in our lives. We should have known you were special when your Mom & Dad were in a discussion about your name after seeing you for the first time. Your Daddy had an unusual name picked, and your Mommy, who objected, countered with the statement "if he is going to have an outlandish name, we might as well name him after the person singing on the car radio right now." Cee-lo. It stuck.

You became our superstar in so many ways. You were our guard dog, food tester, sun bathing companion who loved to swim. You never missed a chance to "run with the bumpuses." You loved dressing up for Halloween and seeing all the Trick or Treaters. You loved celebrating birthdays and any holiday with food. You were always excited to dress up in your Santa Dog get-up as well. There was never a car ride that wasn't thoroughly enjoyed, a treat that was taken for granted, or a trip to G&G's that wasn't eagerly awaited. Grandpa Keith even adorned his home with a FatHead cling of your likeness!

Your most favorite things were your people including your Mommy and Daddy, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, your many friends, and your food. You were the master of "chill" and loved to play with your slithery snake, monkey, and all your other toy bucket full of toys. You even hid Mr. Wishbone under your recliner after you chewed him up so he didn't get found and thrown away. You also most definitely loved your kitty sister even if she swatted at you everytime you walked by!

Cee-lo is preceded in death by special loved ones including people and fur babies. We will desperately miss you, Cee-lo. Just know that you were loved beyond all measure, and we take solace in knowing you are at peace and comfort now.
