Charlie says Hi.

[Digi]

Hes about 1.5~2yrs old. They told me hes a BC/Terrier cross. In short I have no idea what he is, but I have a good idea what he went through with his old owner. He was clearly abused, starved, untrained, and left in a super tiny wire cage for 12-15hr/day. Hes a super friendly pup, soso behaved, but will pee everywhere and anywhere, so he wears a male wrap with a baby diaper in it & it does a great job at catching it (he is peeing a lot less, but with carpet, he needs to wear it).

Meet Charlie, our hobo dog (as we call him).




See the crazy hair on the tip of his ears? lol


He always looks sad


Sadly he is self destructive Hes getting better every week, but he was a total mess when I first brought him home. Completely out of control & didn't understand anything, well except the word "no", which would make him pee while running away with his belly dragging on the floor. He doesn't do that anymore as he knows we wont beat him. I do use a static collar on him (the puppy one), to help with training as I can't touch him or guide him, or shout NO at him. He reacts very well to it & isn't "scared" of it, just obeys it.

Hi Charlie, I hope you adjust well to your new home! You're a cutie!

Charlie looks like a real sweetheart. Hopefully, in time, he'll overcome all of his bad habits and issues, and settle down to being spoiled rotten and enjoying it - just as he should.

Kudos to you Digi, for taking on this challenge. Please keep us posted on Charlie's progress.

Oh My, Poor dog had a rough life until you got him. He must have gone through alot of trauma and abuse. People who do that to animals should be punished. It is so good that you are willing to adopt him and be patient and loving with him as he learns to trust you. Good for you!

Hi, Charlie! It is nice to meet you! I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful new life for you. Fingers and paws tightly crossed for a life of fun, happiness and love!

Thanks everyone.

This week we will be letting him free when at work. Hes not destructive outside of his kennel. He'll have his diaper on as it catches all the pee and it doesnt soak through (the baby diaper insidd his dog wrap is new). Its not like him to poop in the house so were good there.

I just have to remember to remove the big water dish as he is a water gorger. What he consumes in 1day, is = to what Digi consumes in 1-2 weeks and he is 1/2 Digi's size. Both eat raw.

Hes getting the big snip next month and we hope that will help stop his marking and other intact male issues.

I just wish i could fatten him up faster. But on a raw diet its not easy. He also cannot consume too much food/day as it'll make him vomit over and over and over until i can get him away from it. Silly dog. He also appears to have similar food allergies as Digi. So no red meat. Which makes things safer for Digi as red meat can kill her, it just gives charlie super smelly runs!!
