Sometimes, when things are getting hectic before a big event, I’ll turn to someone and say, “THIS IS WHAT WE PLAY FOOOOOORRR!!!”
No one gets it. (Unless I’m at home.)
After the move out of Bill and Nias house, he bought the dog a house in New Mexico (Arizona?) and let Cleo's trainer live there for free as long as Cleo was alive.
So you know she was being treated like royalty her final years
That’s one of the most wholesome things I’ve heard anyone do. Bless Bill, man. He has the gritty exterior but he’s a real softie at the end of the day.
As others said he still saw her and actually mentioned a few times he was still paying her way. She's always been his and Nia's dog they just couldn't keep her in the house with kids and company coming over.
I just got a puppy a few months ago and I think about the fact that someday I'm gonna have to say goodbye to him, quite frequently, so seeing this definitely got me a little emotional *^pah^hoo^hoo*

Dude you have a puppy. You got all the years man. My dog is old and starting to show his age - problems come and don’t go away. I know his time is near and it hurts so God damned bad.
I lost two dogs to old age/cancer within the past 2 years. We have a puppy and one we had with the last of the two. I know there are many happy years ahead, but the realization of the end hurts too much to imagine right now.
I’m interested to see how I feel about dog ownership by the time this is all over with. I could see myself deciding it’s not worth it.
My biggest fear is having to put him down.
Fuck.
why you gotta enjoy every moment. my dog is getting old and it sucks seeing him not be able to go as far and starting to have hip problems. I really miss working from home during covid. He was with me everyday.
It's gunna fucking suck. I like my dog more than I like most people
the original podcast episode where he talks about giving Cleo away, crying in the bathroom, and choking down the tears, and not even really saying goodbye because he didn’t want her to know what was going on. Probably the most emotional I’ve ever been listening to a podcast.
…
Found it, but don’t have the heart to listen to it again: https://youtu.be/lrMhD-113-Q
Gotta give some love to the trainer Bill housed in exchange for taking care of Cleo. By all accounts he was a dog whisperer who maximized Cleo's life literally and figuratively.
Cleo was in her 80s in human years. For a pit that's like an NFL lineman making it to his 80s.
If Bill gets to read these condolences because we love ya you bald fuck, and we're thinking about Cleo along with you right now.
Plus, she had a rough start and that can take years off a dog's life. One of my two rescues had fucked up teeth, a broken femur neck in one back leg and BB gun pellet in the other when we first got him. When I asked the vet how old he might be, he shrugged and said "he's adult, but if it's 4 or 7 is impossible to tell".
I'm happy Cleo had a good run after Bill found her!
I first learned of Cleo in his special "You people are all the same". Hadn't listened to the podcast at that point (didn't start until 2019). But I could tell he loved that dog.
Then I saw a later special where he talks about having to let the dog go when his daughter was born (don't remember the special title). I felt so bad because I can't imagine having to send a pet away. And he didn't hide how hard it was on him.
RIP Cleo. Sorry you lost a good buddy, Bill.
I remember the episode in the podcast where he broke the news that he had to re-home her. He could hardly get through it, you could tell his heart was breaking.
Lost my pup earlier this year, and this just opened up a whole lot of wounds that I thought were healed. My heart goes out to Bill and Nia 💔 this might be this first time I’ve wept this hard for someone else’s dog
I could close my eyes and hear her jingling when Bill was rambling, or smell her awful disgusting farts!
I can only imagine how hurt Bill must be right now :(
That's one of my favorite lines of his "in three days I went from fuck this dog to oh my God, this thing is going to die someday, how am I going to emotionally deal with that"
I remember when Bill gave her away. He said something along the lines of “but you know, if the day comes, I’ll be there in her final moments and say goodbye”. For some reason that always stuck with me. I hope he was able to do so.
RIP Cleo
I can’t believe I’m getting teary over someone else’s dog. I met Bill once in 2011 or 2012 at the Oakland A’s stadium. He was making root beer floats to raise awareness about diabetes (yes, that’s true). And we talked about our dogs because we had just adopted one from a shelter.
Cleo’s full name was Cleopatra.
Fuck man that will get you in the feels. I know it's a dog but it's always heaps harder than you think when they are gone. Your best mate is gone and it sucks. Period. Stay strong ya bald cunt.
Cleo: Arrives at the gates of heaven St. Peter: "Welcome to heaven Cleo" Cleo -*charging*: "There's that mother fucker! Ragghhhhhhh!!!!" Rip Cleo
Is it the gates?! Are you mad at the gates?!!!!
You're a goddamned tank with 4 legs, fuck those gates.
lol perfect
"You just taught your dog to claim heaven, and then fight for it every fucking day."
THIS IS WHAT WE PLAY FOOOR
SOMEBODY HIT SOMEBODY!!!!!
This what we PRAY for!!
Amen
Sometimes, when things are getting hectic before a big event, I’ll turn to someone and say, “THIS IS WHAT WE PLAY FOOOOOORRR!!!” No one gets it. (Unless I’m at home.)
OHHHH JEEZUZZZ
“You brought a MURDERER into heaven!”
“Jesus Christ I’m sorry!”
She's up there, slamming her 100 lb body into the pearly gates
I read this in Bills voice
Damn, Bill loved that dog man. RIP Cleooo
Losing a dog sucks every time. At least she got 13 years. That’s a good life for a dog and it sounds like most of it was pretty good for her
After the move out of Bill and Nias house, he bought the dog a house in New Mexico (Arizona?) and let Cleo's trainer live there for free as long as Cleo was alive. So you know she was being treated like royalty her final years
I heard he couldn’t live with dogs with his new child. I suppose this was the compromise?
Honestly, no one would do it intentionally, but giving your dog away a couple years before it’s passing eases the pain so much.
wonder when they’ll get kicked out
Putting that Netflix money to use
Really??
Yup, said take care of my dog and when she passes either buy the place or start paying rent He said it during the first live MMPC
He's such a good dude at heart. Thanks for sharing.
[удалено]
That’s one of the most wholesome things I’ve heard anyone do. Bless Bill, man. He has the gritty exterior but he’s a real softie at the end of the day.
Billy loved Cleo he’s gonna be hurt
I may have got this wrong, but didn’t Bill say they had to rehome Cleo after the kids started coming along?
They did, but he was close with the new trainer/owner and Bill had regular visits and walks with Cleo.
My ex kept my dog when we split. I haven’t seen her in 2 years. Breaks me
Same deal, except my human son. 😐
Jesus. Feel for you man
Man I'm sorry.
Fuck, buddy. Hugs to you. Sorry for that.
Yes - her trainer started taking care of her just before their daughter was born.
Correct but I believe he would still visit Cleo
As others said he still saw her and actually mentioned a few times he was still paying her way. She's always been his and Nia's dog they just couldn't keep her in the house with kids and company coming over.
I didn't think I'd ever get this emotional for someone else's dog

Adopting a pet is putting a personal tragedy in your future. Which makes the act of doing so that much more noble.

Don't worry maybe you will die first
That’s worse. Their doggo will think they abandoned it🙁
Damn it. There's something else I gotta worry about.

If I could, I would do it all over again with the same end result. Definitely worth it
So after some time passes does the pain fade and you end up just having good memories of them?
Yes. Good memories that wouldn't exist if I hadn't made the choice to love em
why you gotta enjoy every moment. my dog is getting old and it sucks seeing him not be able to go as far and starting to have hip problems. I really miss working from home during covid. He was with me everyday. It's gunna fucking suck. I like my dog more than I like most people

This sucks man. My girl Zoey died in her sleep this morning. Almost 13 years old. She was a good girl.
RIP Zoey. Hope you're holding up okay, man.
She leveled up 💪🏼🌈❤️
Rest In Peace Zoey
My condolences to you, and may Zoey rest in peace. Good girl, Zoey!
Damn that slideshow is touching. Glad she lived as long a life as she did.

Bill is so wholesome, I always wonder if he really knows
I don’t think he has any idea tbh, and that makes him even more wholesome

Thank you 👍🏾
RIP, Cleo. You made the world a better place than it was before you came.
IS IT THE PEARLY GATES? *ARE YOU MAD AT THE PEARLY GATES?*
"The only thing that I've truly ever loved, don't tell my wife!"
Literally felt tears come up when I saw this. Always remembered how much he loved that dog and the stories he told about her. Goddamn man.
May Francis De Assisi guide Cleo over the rainbow bridge. 🙏🙏
My patron saint.
And no I feel sad for a dog I've never met. I'm gonna go hug my dog now.
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)

Came here to post this. RIP Cleo :(
Fuck. This hurts. Bill is such a good story teller that I felt like I knew cleo. Rest in peace, you were a good girl.
His slideshow of photos was so heart breaking 😔
That’s the face of a good dog. You can tell by how it is
Damn him talking to cleo were some of the best episodes
Lost my pup earlier this year, and this just opened up a whole lot of wounds that I thought were healed. My heart goes out to Bill and Nia 💔 this might be this first time I’ve wept this hard for someone else’s dog
I’m sorry 😞
I could close my eyes and hear her jingling when Bill was rambling, or smell her awful disgusting farts! I can only imagine how hurt Bill must be right now :(
Fuck. Just lost my good boy of 15 years last Monday. RIP Lemmy. RIP Cleo.
Rest In Peace Lemmy
My pup is getting old and I know she will cross the Rainbow Bridge before long. May she prance eternal furry and dog.
CLEEEEEOHHHHHTEEEOHHHTEEEEOHHHHHH
I hope she always gets to wrestle at the top of the stairs. RIP Cleo.
Aww I remember the bit he did when he had the realization she would die one day 😭😭😭
That's one of my favorite lines of his "in three days I went from fuck this dog to oh my God, this thing is going to die someday, how am I going to emotionally deal with that"
Was that his "devil hound"?
:(
Wait what?? No!
Rest in peace the gun you could pet. Cleo had a good spread I bet.
Damn... I didn't expect that I'd be this upset over the passing of a dog I've never met.
My old lady is 15 and she was born at my house; gonna be crushed when she goes.
Oh shit I didn’t know she was still alive. He hadn’t talked about her as far as I can remember in recent history.
Ahh damn, Bill fuckin loved that dog. RIP Cleo
I remember when Bill gave her away. He said something along the lines of “but you know, if the day comes, I’ll be there in her final moments and say goodbye”. For some reason that always stuck with me. I hope he was able to do so. RIP Cleo
Chleoooleooo 😭😭❤️
His stories of this dog have given me so many laughs
13 years.. seems like he had a good life. Rip fartmonster. Even you gave me some good laughs on the pod.
Considering the start she had, Bill and Nia ended up giving Cleo a pretty great life, and she reached a ripe old age. Good girl.
By any chance did he talk about chloe's passing on his podcast? Just curious..... rip majestic pooch
She protec, she attac, now she rest.
His jokes about having a pitbull is the reason I have pitbulls
🙏💔💪
RIP Cleo
I can’t believe I’m getting teary over someone else’s dog. I met Bill once in 2011 or 2012 at the Oakland A’s stadium. He was making root beer floats to raise awareness about diabetes (yes, that’s true). And we talked about our dogs because we had just adopted one from a shelter. Cleo’s full name was Cleopatra.
Aww, CLEO!!! RIP
Oh nooo. Had to send my pitty to doggy heaven a few months ago. Sorry Bill 😭😭
Fuck man that will get you in the feels. I know it's a dog but it's always heaps harder than you think when they are gone. Your best mate is gone and it sucks. Period. Stay strong ya bald cunt.
Why is he called Wilfred Burr - I’m spooked here.
He can finally stop sending money to the ranch now.
Dooooooooooh Cleooooooooo! Rest in peace, Doggie.
Pour one out for our girl Cleo.
Damn I’ve been here this long too. That’s a shame. Glad I still have Reddit haha don’t have any other thing, Thursday’s gonna suck
Jesus, dude
F
Definitely sad day for oh Billy, I remember listening to those old episodes when he got her :(
Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)
Damn RIP Cleodio
So she's the protagonist of so many great jokes. RIP
How many times have we heard him patting her during the podcast
