I avoided getting a dog for so long because I remembered how hard it was to lose a pet as a kid. I finally came around to thinking, "it will be ok, I can do this." Charlie opened up my heart all over again. He made me open up again. We would play together like kids. Rolling around the floor together, hiding behind walls and jumping out at him. He used to get a kick out of that, he would run around so fast with his little butt tucked in and ears pulled back. I would say he was a little greyhound. I really felt God loving me through him sometimes. I really did. He was so precious to me. |
