A Moment of Silence, Please

Please honor my man's brother and his wife, Floyd and Marilyn, and my pal, Bruiser, their beloved pet. Bruiser had to be put down today.
This is Bruiser living large on his back porch. Bruiser didn't know any other way to live: he was over 100 pounds, covered in a thick coat of fur, loved to eat and roam his huge yard. Favorite foods that Bruiser enjoyed were leftover burgers, leftover Couch's barbeque, pizza and chocolate. Being related to us and all, the burgers and barbeque were plentiful. Floyd and Marilyn always saved him a bite or two of their lunches and/or dinners. Also, since his man Floyd worked for M&M Mars, chocolate is always present in their home. Yes, yes, Marilyn and Floyd both knew he couldn't have chocolate and rarely, if ever, gave him any. But, oh, how he wanted it. Pizza was also a no-no because every time he enjoyed pizza, he got an upset tummy (which is a R E A L problem for character of Bruiser's size). As Bruiser aged, he suffered many maladies common to older canines. But it was hip dysplasia that was the last straw. His devoted man and lady had tried for weeks to help him with his needs, even up until this morning, carrying him to the yard on a stretcher so he could potty. They realized yesterday the three of them, but especially Bruiser, could not continue like this.

In keeping with Bruiser's "living large" lifestyle, Marilyn and Floyd treated him to his own pizza for breakfast this morning, with all the chocolate he cared to indulge in for dessert.

Then it was to the vet for a peaceful departing. Bruiser is now buried in his lady's garden. Live large in doggy heaven, Bruiser. You will be missed.
