I loved and cared for our dog, Charlie, for almost 17 years. Charlie was our first baby and I adored him from a puppy to a senior. We potty trained him and I changed his diapers when he got old. One of the saddest days of our lives was when Charlie went to heaven. He was a part of our family for so many years. Charlie was like a child to us, we had him even before we had our girls and he was so very special to us.Charlie is missed and remembered but never replaced. I walk other dogs in the neighborhood (no charge) to get some "doggy love" because I miss having my Charlie. Dogs make me happy! They love unconditionally and make me feel loved!
