Hi there fella. What a handsome dude you are and oh so lucky to have such a loving family.

Note: A family member of mine had a lovely dog named Charlie. Charlie ate socks. So many that the second time he had to have surgery, it was too late. He went through dozens of socks before he had the LAST ONE. Don't ask me why his owners didn't control the sock eating more closely, I'll never know. It did cost thousands of dollars and in the end, the life of the dog. It appears to be an obsession with some dogs and is tough to control. I know your family is being very careful with you and that is good.

Anywho, Charlie, I have never seen a dog like you before. Your coloring is quite unusual and yet so beautiful. Oh, that's right, you're a guy dog. Your fur coloring is handsome. How's that?

Congrats for being the doggie of the day sweet Charlie! I hope you get lots of extra hugs and kisses and TREATS today! You deserve it for sure.

Be a good boy - mind your laundry manners and have fun with your wonderful family.

Hugs and rubs from Vermont and all the campers!
