Keto

 

Keto Sidell Peterson May 2002-September 30, 2010

Unfortunately, our beloved dog, Keto, died unexpectedly on September 30th. He died doing what he loved—chasing things. And we are quite confident that he passed quickly and painlessly.

Keto was initially named after an Orca at Sea World (since his was born in Orlando), however, he answered to many names including, “Squido”, “Weto”, and most often “The Guido”. “The Guido” ended up being a more appropriate name for him as he lost his front teeth and a chunk of his ear in various fights with his brother. If they made gold chains and rings for dogs, Guido would have worn them.

We first bought Keto as a playmate for Koki when he was 7 weeks old. The first day we brought him home, Koki hip-checked him and Keto immediately growled at Koki. We knew at that moment, Keto would have the spunk it took to keep up with our family!  Keto was a very fiesty little terrier who loved to chase anything—balls, kids, lawn mowers, and his favorite, skunks. Keto was always full of energy and was incredibly happy-go-lucky. He was one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. He always wanted to cuddle and be close to everyone. He LOVED attention and was a good advocate for getting his needs met. He liked to snuggle under the blankets at night and was a very loud snorer.

Keto is survived by his adoptive brother, Koki, who will miss him terribly.

We will miss you and love you Guido!
