CLETO
CLETO

I wanted to send you and Lone Star an update on Cleto, who we renamed Gringo (cuz he’s a white boy). We came to the Fritz in search of a dog that needed us. We didn’t have any particular color, or size in mind, but I knew that I was partial to the white ones. I knew that most people preferred the “boxer look” and it eludes the white ones most of the time. We first saw a male that was very rambunctious and jumpy. He was too high energy for me and my 14 year old daughter. I then asked the volunteer if there were any that had been there a long time and she brought out Cleto. He was docile and didn’t seem to care one way or another whether we were there to see him. He was perfect. He is the exact same dog today almost 3 years later. Oh he gets excited to see us when we get home, but really he is just a 70 pound lap dog couch potato. He loves to run FAST and FAR! And loves to take walks. He isn’t that into toys, I think they get in the way of his chilling out time. His eyes are so expressive that I swear I can tell what he is thinking half the time. He sleeps on our bed cuddled up right next to me. He LOVES to be covered up, with blankets, pillows, anything you want to put on top of him, he gets cold easily. Well, just wanted to give you a little glimpse into how spoiled this little one has become. We look forward to many many more years with Gringo in our family! Leanne Jones
