Today when I was taking Sam and Martin out, the neighbor dog came over for a visit. We love her so please dont take this the wrong way.
She is an older dog, I have no idea how old but she is up there in age. She has been ran over, they didnt take her to vet and in fact was going to shoot her. But she got better on her own. They feed her cat food. She eats bones. She never goes to the vet, she is ALWAYS outside regardles of the weather.
She knows she can come over for a warm blanket, out of the rain, food, water, treat, or whatever.
The kids play with her, she is a faithful old dog always following the kids and such.
It just got me thinking about my Charlie. He was very pampered, well taken care of, shots up to date, medicine when needed, etc and he got sick. It was horrible when I had to let him go.
I guess what Im not saying, its just not fair (for a lack of a better description) that here I did everything I could for him and couldnt save him and here they are with their pet that they do NOTHING for

And no I am not saying something should happen to her because thats not what I mean bc I love her to pieces. I kept her for them when their house burned. I guess Im just missing my Charlie Barley.
