Charlie

 

 

 

 

It has been a very emotional weekend in our house.  Our dog Charlie died.  He was hit by our car as we left the house Saturday morning.  He has always chased everyones cars as they left the house.  This particular morning we thought he was clear........

 

It has been very devasting for Bell.  Lots of extra TLC needed here this weekend.  I thought it would be Tom who would have difficulty with Charlie dying, but as children often do he has been a total surprise.  Hugging and kissing Charlie before we buried him and comforting Bell.  I wonder how he will be as the week goes on and Charlie is'nt around to play with.  He was so loyal and always stayed with the boys when they played outside.

 

We have buried Charlie by the vineyard fence.  He spent his days running around the vines and following the vineyard workers everywhere (even riding on the quad bikes with them).  He used to be out all day and then would come back in the afternoon to snooze in the sun.  What a life!

 

We love and miss you Charlie. xo
