quite Sundays and quotes about dogs…
A dog is one of the remaining reasons why some people can be persuaded to go for a walk.
-O.A. Battista
I have been a dog lover ever since I can remember. We had dogs every where we lived…but for whatever reason we would have to give them up when we moved. There was Bear a HUGE mutt (I say huge, but I was also 3) in the Philippines and then a black lab Maxie and a golden retriever Goldie in New Mexico. The last two are still sore subjects. Mom and Dad got rid of them without telling us…which is awesome.
But when we picked out our Chocolate Lab Cocoa…our lives would never be the same. She was the sweetest, smartest, most loving dog in the whole world. She’d follow me around the back yard as I cut the grass, sit by the door when she knew I was coming home and lay by the bathroom door as I got ready for my day. I loved that dog with all my heart.
She passed away in 2005…she lived a long doggie life. My parents still can’t fathom getting another dog…and I totally understand. They watched her get older and sicker. I don’t know how I would have handled it.
A year later, I saw Charlie’s face. It was an out of focused washed out picture on the interweb. He was scruffy and cute as all hell. We drove up to the Humane Society and Charlie quickly ran to the window to see who was coming. I fell in love right there and then. I had no idea what changes he was going to bring to my life…
It’s been Charlie and I ever since. He follows me around the house. Sits next to me on the couch even if there’s company. He sits at my feet while I’m on the computer. He sits in the passenger seat in the car. He wakes me up, tells me when I’ve been up too late and gets me to take 3-5 walks a day….because we both need it.
It was on one of these walks when a happy skinny waggy puppy came running towards us, with no tags, no name but a lot of love. I settled with the name Snoopy because he followed Charlie all over the place and did this happy dance before we would go outside just like Snoopy does in the cartoons. They’re a handful…but they are my handful. And when I went to www.realage.com to find out how old I really was, one of the questions was if I had a dog. By clicking yes, that helped me to not be so old. :o)
Gotta love that, huh boys?
