[Dailydrool] Charlie

[DDropp at aol.com]

First I want to say how happy I am to hear that Bo came through his surgery 
 with flying colors.  Will keep having the guys send drool until he is  
100%.  
 
Well, my Charlie did it again.  As many of you know, I am not able to  walk 
much, so dog walking has been left to wife and No. 1 son.  Today, they  
went to get me a birthday present, and shop for food.  They let both dogs  out 
before they left so all would be fine in their absence. Well, after about an 
 hour, Charlie wanders into the kitchen where I was chopping cherries for 
cookies  and sits down and looks at me.  After a short while he starts in 
with his  plaintive whining, adding it to the "look".  He wants to go for a  
walk.  For the nest 45 minutes, he just sits there, looking at me, with  very 
sad eyes, whining and shaking a bit.  Well, a person can resist  that only 
so long.  I get my coat on and get my cane, put on my coat and  his leash and 
we go for a walk.  Now, Charlie has a bad back, but  he  walks faster than 
I can.  It was quite a sight, an old man hobbling down  the street, with a 
nearly 14 year old crippled basset pulling him.  All I  could do is 300 feet, 
but that was enough.  He got back into the house,  crawled onto the couch 
and went to sleep with a very satisfied look on his  face.  Me, I was so glad 
to sit down again.  Score one more for  Charlie.
