Cleo is a Golden Retriever-Terrier mix, who is two-and-a-half years old. Petite and somewhat shy, she lives with two strapping males, Luke, who is her brother and Odin, a big black Labrador with a guttural bark.
According to Sivadass, Cleo and her brother were gifts to his family. “We saw them as pups when a dog belonging to my son’s friend had a litter and the family wanted to find homes for them.
“It was impossible not to say ‘yes’ when we saw the pups, especially when I have two grandkids who’ve always wanted pet dogs.”
Life for Cleo in Sivadass’ family is fun and carefree. She has the run of the garden and although she’s way smaller in size than Odin, she loves to play rough with him.
Although she can be timid and shy compared to the boisterous boys she lives with, Cleo is super smart.
She’s also the most alert in the pack, and is the first to raise the alarm with a bark at any suspicious movement she sees or sounds that she hears.
So, while the other two are either lounging around or getting into a fight for the position of top dog, Cleo is all ears, guarding the house, 24/7.
According to Sivadass, Cleo likes going out for walks and looks forward to her daily meals of chicken, carrots, pumpkin and rice. “She loves dog biscuits as treats too,” he says.
There are only three things the happy-go-lucky Cleo dislikes – the sound of rumbling thunder, being shouted at and bath time.
“She doesn’t like taking a bath but will good-naturedly stomach it,” Sivadass says.
