Charlie....

I adopted a 3 year old boxer dog from the animal shelter a few months ago. His name is Charlie. He is the best dog ever!!! He was found on the side of the freeway by the highway patrol. The shelter staff was unable to tell how long he had been on his own. When he went for his neuter the vet found that he had low liver function which he said was probably from eating garbage. He had a cough when I first got him and was scared of nearly everything. But, he has adjusted well and now is my new best friend.



He loves to follow me around the house wherever I go. He fell asleep on the floor on this stack of dirty laundry. I like to think it's because it had my scent! Haa! When I come home from work and let him out of his kennel he wiggles his entire body and turns in circles. He paws at my feet until he feels he has had enough love. I've only heard him bark a handful of times. As of late it is when he thinks someone is coming into the house, like the guy who mows our lawn. He likes to protect his territory and I am happy he gets possessive.



Charlie has come to work with me a couple of times just because I don't like leaving him home alone day after day. Even while we are in the office he follows me everywhere. This is a picture of him climbing through my desk to keep himself entertained. He is the best!!
