Guest Kyle241 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Let me introduce, Charlie, who we adopted on 09/08 with the wonderful help of Gay Lattimer and volunteers. Charlie will be 5yrs old in November and he is a red fawn with a wonderful, endearing personality. He joins the rest of our family, Peanut, a Rat Terrier and Angie, a Pug. We do not have enough words to describe this handsome boy, he is all we ever wanted and comes at a time to mend our hearts. We recently lost our Dalamatian, Josey, who was also known as Angel for all the right reasons. She left us at 14.5yrs after we felt her battle with Glaucoma that took her vision, an enlarged heart that took her energy and arthritis that took her dignity was enough to bear for such a brave soul. It was the hardest decision for my wife and I and we carry the guilt of having to make the decision when Mother Nature wouldn't do it herself. We truly believe she led us to Charlie as the wonderful person who helped cremate her has two Greys of her own. After seeing this wonderful pair, we wonder if Josey's last gift of love was to lead us to adopt a creature that we have pondered for some time. Perhaps it's all coincidence, we will never know. To our bridge angels, Josey (Dalmatian) and Chester (German Short-Haired Pointer), we will see you again someday. You seared our souls with your love and will be in our hearts forever more.

Guest Chynagirl Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Welcome! What a handsome boy you have there. Wow, is his tail really that long?

Guest Kyle241 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Thank you everyone for the welcome. We are very happy to have adopted Charlie and can't say enough good things about Greys. Chynagirl - yes his tail is really that long. I didn't think they were supposed to be so he had earned the nickname, Kangaroo Butt!

Guest hamiesmom Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I'm so sorry for your loss of Josey. I do believe that Charlie is now with you because that was what she wanted and felt was right for you. I, too, have a beautiful red fawn boy who is 9yrs old who was named "Husker Hamilton" after the NASCAR driver, Bobby Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Welcome! Charlie is a beauty! I also lost my "long time companion" recently. Kramer was put down on April 20, and I brought George home on April 23. It's never going to be the same, but George and I are doing great, and I'm sure Charlie is helping to fill the hole in your family. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.
