It’s a sad day today. One of my favorite dogs crossed over the rainbow bridge. Charlie won my heart. He was so intelligent and full of love but yet had no problem telling me he was the boss of this operation. He was a spicy boy that I had the honor of having in my life. It took a while for Charlie to accept me in his circle of people that he loved but once I gained his trust, that was it. Even though it took an ungodly amount of treats, we slowly built a bond that I will always cherish. He had so much love to give. He was one of the most smartest dogs I’ve ever met. When Charlie was on my schedule, I was excited that I was gojng to see him that day. After Charlie was done being groomed, he had to wander around the grooming van for a good 10 minutes before he decided that it was time to go. That was his routine. So Debbie and I, his owner, would sit there and talk watching Charlie do his little rounds to make sure there were no little morsels that I could’ve dropped by mistake.
He lived the life of a king. Sitting in the pool gazing over the gulf for hours. Sometimes he would bring his mom a rat as a gift of appreciation for everything that Charlie’s family did for him. I’m going to miss seeing him and hearing his stories that his family always told me about him.
It was an honer to be his dog groomer and I’m going to miss him dearly. Thank you to the Bernhard’s for letting me have the opportunity to be in Charlie’s life. 💔
