Today is my last day with a very special boy. Charleston and his family moved down the street from me in July of 2016. Charleston was about 7 or 8 weeks old and I had just started my business the month prior. When I got the email that he was going to need an everyday visit, I was filled with excitement. He was my 3rd ever client and my 1st ever puppy. No doubt there were tough moments, but as time went on it got easier and easier. Fast forward through the years and here we are 5.5 years later. He is the sweetest, goofiest, fiercely loyal, and intelligent dog. He makes me laugh every single day. I’ve seen this guy 5 days a week all these years, and to say not seeing him anymore will leave a huge hole in my heart, is an understatement. I dread having to do his visit today, because it’s my last. The last time we go through our daily routine, the last time we play fetch, the last time I give him a kiss goodbye, and the last time I tell him to be a good boy and that I love him, all while he looks over his shoulder at me closing the door with the look in his eye as if he is wondering why the heck I’m leaving for the day already. I wish him and his family the absolute best as they move on to their new adventure. Here are some pictures of this handsome boy. Everyday at 11:00 going forward, I will look at the clock and think of him and wonder how he is. My heart is sad, but I am so grateful he brought me so much love and joy the last 5.5 years.
