Charlie was only 3 months when I found him at the Humane Society..He was terrified and shy, His papers said he has been beaten and abused by the little children that were his first family..What a shame..because he was so sweet and adorable..Charlie had many health issues, during his life he suffered from terribly ear infection that never went away or could be healed., later came the arthritis to make matters worse for him..

I thought that by having just me around I could give him all my love and attention, but he always wanted a little playmate, so I brought home Basil, my little beagle..they both bonded instantly, years later I adopted Mia, my pitbull, and I had my family.

My three babies made me forget I could not have children, but they filled the emptiness of an impossible motherhood. I was their mother and I loved them dearly.

When Charlie was close to 15 years, his breathing become an agony after a small walk, and even thou he new he couldn't walk further he would always be excited when it was night time and it was walking time..Charlie became very ill continuosly, until one terrible, sad thanksgiving day, he had another breathing shock, and this time I just couldn't bare to see him in pain and agony..before the vet came to my house, I gave him all the cookies he loved so much..hugged him and cried..cried like if my tears would never stop..I holded to his lifeless body until I had no more force in me..

Someone helped to bury his body in my backyard..

Charlie will live forever in my heart..His brother and sister still go looking after him when I call his name ..I love you Charlie..Forever and ever, my child..One day we all walk together again..I promise you that.
