Rylee Comis

Rylee Myles Comis.

Where do I begin?

Our journey started in October 2016, during my senior year of college. I picked Rylee up around Halloween, and his very first costume was a Cavaliers jersey.

I used to take him on walks down Court Street, and halfway through he would simply sit down, refusing to go any farther. I would end up carrying him the rest of the way home.

Not long after bringing him home, I realized balancing my senior year and a new puppy was harder than I expected. That’s when he truly became part of the Fonte family. My parents helped raise him in those early years, and he formed an especially special bond with my mom.

When Lou and I started dating in 2018, one of our first dates included Lou bringing a treat for Rylee along with flowers. Before long, Rylee became part of our little family too. He was there through our engagement, our wedding, our honeymoon, and every chapter that followed.

No matter where we had been, coming home to Rylee was pure joy. His excitement was unmatched, and somehow we always understood each other without words. We had our own language.

He’s been with me through some of the highest highs of my life and some of the lowest lows. And now I’m facing the first one he won’t be here for.

The hole in my heart is impossible to describe. Loving Rylee has been one of the greatest blessings of my life, and I will be forever grateful for every walk, every cuddle, every adventure, and every moment we shared. He will always be my first baby, and a piece of my heart will always belong to him.

We love you forever, you will always be my sunshine. We will see you again someday 🩵
