It has been so hard and doesn't seem
to be getting any easier, he is all around me, his food dishes,
blankie's, favorite chair...I just miss him so much he was such a
presence in our life.
He was the life of
the party, he always made sure you knew he was there, everyone who
entered our house was here to see him of course and he was thrilled.
All things that drove me nuts about Charlee are the things that I long
for now, his constant licking of my legs, arms whatever he could lick
and he would forget what he was doing and just sit there with his
tongue stuck to my leg.....
He
was the first to greet and the last to say goodnight. He had a
selective memory like he forgot often that he wasn't suppose to beg at
the table or run out the front door if it was left open, but when
reminded had the attitude like oh ya right not supposed to do that.
He was a complete
maniac on walks, he ran around like he was a puppy, spinning donuts,
and you always knew his appreciation for anything you did, can't
describe it but it was more in his look than anything. He was a twit,
didn't listen, begged at the table, was a grouch pot to a lot of dogs,
depending on his mood that day, no rhyme or reason for his attitude,
but he was in love with his family and his family was in love with
him.
He brought a smile to
my face every morning and he was my foot warmer at night, sleeping
faithfully on my side of the bed.....Donny would try and move him to
give me more room and Charlee would flat out disagree and not move. I
usually ended up curled in a ball at the top of the bed to allow for
Charlee to sprall out at the bottom.
He was our protector
and sat at the window for hours making sure no one invaded our house.
I miss him so much.
Written with much love by Charlee's
mom.
