Why can’t we all be like Charlie

We have had Charlie for about eight years….maybe nine…he’s from the shelter…and he’s been special since day one.

Charlie is not the most intelligent animal. His hunting skills are below average…and he has a severe fear of sewer drains(we have no idea why). He barks at my UPS and FedEx delivery drivers and any new postal worker…he finally loves the one we have had for years and doesn’t bark at her.

Charlie has a cool vibe…we have always Said that he has more friends than any of us…the vet loves him, the groomer…anyone that visits our house loves Charlie. We took a walk just last night, and a car full of young men waved at us and told us they loved our dog…Charlie kept walking like…I hear ya…I know it.

Charlie woke me up last week when the tornado sirens were going off…I never heard them. Charlie knew when Ellie was about to have one of the worst asthmatic events in her life and laid by her bed and came and got me.

Charlie loves car rides…hates being clean…and hates being alone. When I leave on a trip he knocks my kids down to get to me first so that he can bark at me and jump on me…and all the things. When I come home he’s the one that greets me and literally makes a groaning noise until I give him sufficient kisses and hugs. He waits by the door when he hears my husband come home….he greets absolutely every single person that comes to my home like that. My parents who don’t even like dogs will take care of Charlie when we are out of town.

Charlie likes to chase deer and squirrels. He enjoys treats as long as they are corn feee and he loves his big bed.

He is loyal, kind, and loves with all his little heart. He just doesn’t see the bad in anyone….unless you drive a big brown truck that says UPS…he just can’t help himself…he’s gonna bark at you all day long.

Oh to be like Charlie…he unites everyone together…and he just loves you with all his heart and soul as long as you pet him.🧡😘
