Charlie Sweet is kind of a strange fellow, he will say Charlie Sweet, whine like Buffy my Chihuahua, sound like a phone being dialed, and says I love you. Charlie has a pet Chihuahua name Gaucho. He follows that dog everywhere, he does not want anybody messing with that dog at all. He will flog you if you pick up his dog.

I named Charlie Sweet after a wild bird I was forced to raise by hand because my bob tail cat Stubby brought it in, and I took it away from him before he could kill it. Cutest little bird, still had all his fuzz. I was in love with birds big time from that moment on, I had owned a few birds in my time, but never raised one from a baby. I fed Charlie Hamburger meats, whole wheat breads, berries, grass, just everything I could find that he would eat. He done really well, and was allowed to fly free in the house. I soon had to let him fly free, and away out of my life. I seen him from time to time during that summer, but he would not let me near him, but just close enough to be able to talk to him. No touching anymore. I don't know what kind of bird he was, next time you come down, Ann maybe you or Mahayana can tell me what kind he was, we have a lot of them still in our yard. I always wonder if one of them could be him.

I wanted a baby bird so bad, so I went to a pet store and bought him as a baby, with formula, and I wasn't intending on him talking I didn't really care. So I was always telling him that I loved him, and say Charlie Sweet? to him, and now he does that too.
He is such a sweetheart, he is the only animal I have that Jimmy even cares about.
