I had the funeral and the ceremonial flush down the same toilet that Mary Lou was buried in (the only one I have), and continued focusing my attention to my new puppy Charlie.
Charlie is the happiest dog alive. He loves everyone he meets and everyone he has yet to meet. Yes, that even means you. He loves you so much.
I got Charlie from a rescue outside of San Marcos called Love for Paws Rescue. His mother, a Schnauzer, arrived at the rescue pregnant with Charlie and the identity of his father is a mystery. But all I needed was to see this picture to fall in love:

See what I mean? I literally fell asleep staring at his picture the night before I was to get him. Which actually was the very day I saw the picture for the first time. It was all I needed. This photo is as if he new he was supposed to be cute in this picture and posed like he sees in cartoons. Well, it worked. Brava, Charlie, Brava!
When I brought him home that night, I immediately took a few photos of him. From the pic I had no idea how big he was. My biggest surprise is that he's so long. Which I love actually because when I hold him he curls up around my shoulder like a baby.

Though we've had our bumps along the way:

We have certainly have loads of fun!

He is nine months now and I had yet to formally introduce him here. So this is my introduction.
Introducing Charlie...
sharon that dog is adorable and that is so awesome that you got him from a rescue. I'm sure you and him are going to have many happy years and many adventures.
ReplyDeleteI definitely love that little guy and I can't imagine not having him in my life!

SHUT UP CARLOS!
ReplyDeleteI mean...yeah I know. :) I still don't have an internet connection at home because of his dbag at work that I bought the computer from telling me to buy the wrong thing to get it hooked up.
So my computer access is at work or my iphone. But I will make more of an effort.
Remember my email about that children's book I'm writing? Yeah...me neither.
