[Dailydrool] Pw. Charlie

[DDropp at aol.com]

Charlie has been keeping up his training.  With my hip replacement, we  
have put a bed in the living room so I do not have to climb stairs and so  
Charlie does not have to go up and down 15 stairs every day.  As he is in  renal 
failure, we are going to keep the bed down for his sake.  When he  gets up 
at 3 or 4 in the morning, my dear wife, and no me, are there for him to  
take him out to relieve himself.  I even take him for a short walk then in  my 
jamies, as that is what he really wants.  He has us trained to take him  out 
several times when he wants it, and keep water available for him at night  
when he gets thirsty.  Even though the wife is retired and I go in to work  
late, we both get up at five to walk and feed him.  He sets the tone for  
the day, while Ben is more willing to go with the flow.  As he loves to  sniff 
on his walks, I gladly take 30 minutes to go around the with him so he can  
smell what he wants and as long as he wants.  He can spend 5 minutes  
smelling a spot on the sidewalk or a leaf.  At almost 14, I know he will  not be 
around long, and want to make sure he has as much fun as he can in his  own 
way.
