Charlie Brown Cleary

Charlie Brown Cleary July 29, 2008 – August 11, 2022 Charlie Brown was born July 29, 2008, on a farm in Sharpsville, Indiana. We read dogs are angels here on earth, and on August 11, 2022, the angels called Charlie Brown home. He is survived by his pet parents, John and Esther Cleary and a very special Aunt, Melva King. Melva was supposed to be his pet parent, but after an unfortunate accident she was unable to keep up with this active puppy and asked us to raise him. With open arms, we took him in and gave him all the love and the very best life any dog would love to have. He was affectionately called many names: “Sweet Baby Boy,” “Sweet Pea,” “Sweet Baboo.” Any toy was a favorite, but his main go-tos were Spot, a stuffed dog, Squirrelly, a toy squirrel, Chippy, a toy chipmunk, and Punkin, a toy pumpkin. And believe us—he knew them by name. His very favorite thing to do was to be outside. Even though he was on a lead, it didn’t keep him chasing the mail person, UPS, FedEX or any other vehicle that he thought invaded his space. He also like to go for rides and even had a special pillow that he sat on beside mommy when they went anywhere together. At night, he loved belly rubs that seemed to go on forever in front of a fan. His least favorite thing was going to the groomer and to his doctor. He was so fearful of storms and looked for comfort and protection. Above all, I think he hated to be left behind at home, which didn’t happen too often. His favorite place to sleep was on a cedar chest in front of windows where he could look out and make sure that all was safe and protected, or on the floor of the living room in front of a fan while mommy and daddy watched TV. He loved giving his daddy morning kisses to wake him up. He also was a social eater and loved eating anything that we were eating, especially steak. He would get so excited when asked if he wanted to go out, he’d grab a toy or treat and run to the door to get his harness on. He loved going to work with his mommy, just happy to be with her. He was very photogenic, and he loved being the center of attention. If things didn’t go his way, he could give you a good talking to. There are so many happy memories that we can’t begin to scratch the surface. Charlie Brown, you gave us so much love and joy. We miss you terribly. You will always be loved and in our hearts.
