{ Charlie }
July 28 1983 —- July 28 1997
Poodle
I GOT CHARLIE WHEN HE WAS JUST FIVE AND ONE HALF WEEKS OLD.
HE WAS NEEDED TO HELP REPLACE MY OLD DOG WHO HAD
TO BE PUT DOWN DUE TO OLD AGE.
PETER (MY OTHER DOG) WAS GREAT AND IS SADLY MISSED ALSO.
CHARLIE WAS SUCH A TINY LITTLE THING WHEN I GOT HIM.
HE FIT IN THE PALM OF MY HAND AND WAS ALL BLACK EXCEPT
FOR HIS NOSE WHICH WAS GREY.
HE WAS ALWAYS AT MY SIDE IN BED AND ON MY LAP WHEN I
WAS IN MY CHAIR.
IN HIS LIFE TIME HE WENT THRU ALOT OF SURG. AND
MEDICAL CONDITIONS.
HE WAS ALWAYS A REAL TROOPER AND FOUGHT BACK
WHENEVER ANYTHING KNOCKED HIM DOWN.
HE LOVED TO PLAY WITH HIS TENNIS BALLS AND ALWAYS
BROUGHT ANY HOME WE FOUND ON OUR WALKS HE
WASN’T ANY ONLY DOG HE HAD A SCHNAUZER BROTHER
NAMED MAC WHO PASSED AT ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD.
THEN HE HAD ANOTHER SCHNAUZER BROTHER NAMED
LITTLE MAC.
HE ACCEPTED BOTH HOWEVER HE ALWAYS MADE IT
KNOWN HE WAS THE BOSS.
HE INTIMIDATED MOST PEOPLE. HE WAS MY DOG
AND MINE ALONE.
I FEEL HE WAS JUST BEING VERY PROTECTIVE.
ALONG WITH HIM AND THE MACS WALKING WAS NEVER
A PROBLEM. I ALWAYS FELT SAFE NO ONE WOULD EVER
BOTHER ME OR THE DOGS.
I HAVE REPLACED MY SCHNAUZER AGAIN LITTLE MAC PASSED
JUST SEVEN MONTHS AFTER CHARLIE.
HE HAD NEVER BEEN SICK A DAY IN HIS LIFE.
I THINK HE DIED OF A BROKEN HEART HE REALLY MISSED
CHARLIE WHEN HE PASSED.
I AM UNABLE TO GET ANOTHER POODLE I THINK I’LL ALWAYS
MISS CHARLIE TOO MUCH.
THE SCHNAUZERS WERE LOVED BUT CHARLIE WAS LOVED
IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY FOR HE CAME TO ME WHEN I
REALLY NEEDED HIM.
I NOW HAVE ANOTHER SCHNAUZER ‘KIRBY’.
HE IS BY FAR THE SMARTEST DOG I KNOW.
TAKE CARE CHARLIE AND REMEMBER I’LL
ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND WILL NEVER FORGET
HOW IMPORTANT YOU WERE TO ME.
LOVE,
YOUR PERSON
MOM (TESS)
