Charlie's Story

Hello, my name is Charlie and this is my story.

I was born on November 28th 2009 in Lakeland, FL.

My doggie parents were both pure bred Dachshunds.

I had an awesome human family with a mom, a dad, a brother, and a sister too!

I even had 3 doggie siblings!

I loved to watch TV with my daddy and run around in my super cool fenced in back yard.

Sometimes I even sat around in ant beds and got all bit up.

That made me itchy, so my family put cream on my belly.

I thought it was yummy so I tried to lick it off.

But then my family put a sweater on so I couldn't lick it :[ 

I was a super happy dog.

Until one day my family got my sister a kitten for her Birthday.

That little kitten tore me up and fought with me every minute she could!

So my family put a big ol' sign in the front yard.

I don't know what it said cuz I can't read.

All I know is a few hours later I went to live with my new mommy and daddy.

I got into the car and took a really long ride with my new mommy.

When the ride was over we went into a different house and met my new daddy! 

I missed my old family but I LOVED my new family and still do!

They take me for walks and feed me lots of yummy food.

Daddy is my favorite. We always hang out.

We like to play video games together.

And he even used to let me sleep with him before he got that evil high bed that I can't jump into.

He never puts me in that doggie jail cage like my old family did either.

 When my daddy leaves I always cry.

I miss him so much and always wait by the door and watch out the window to see when he's coming home.

When he gets here I jump up and down and bark and smile and greet him.

I am always so happy to see him!

Lately my mommy and daddy have been putting this funky necklace on me! 

Not the kind of necklace you go for a walk with.

This one shocks me when I try to bark or howl because they are gone and I want them to come home.

I don't like this necklace.

Maybe they are mad at me for barking.

I am just sad that they left me at home alone.

Two months ago my mommy and daddy had a baby.

It's a boy named Bear and he's my new little brother!

I love my brother so much.

I always try to protect him.

I like to lay down next to him, although most of the time my mommy and daddy make me move.

When he cries I always hear him first and run to make sure he is okay.

Sometimes I am a bad doggie and I give him kisses.

I get in trouble for that, but I still do it because I love him!

Me and Bear are best friends.

We hang out all the time. (Well... when my mommy lets us)

I hope my new family keeps me forever and never gets a new kitten.

Maybe I will stop pooping on the carpet and covering it up with clothes just to make sure they don't want to replace me!.... NAH! They love me too much!

I can pretty much get away with anything.

I love my family.
