Almost a week ago our sweet girl Charli left this earth without much warning. I have struggled to even talk much about it and looking through all our memories with her just wrecks me all over again. She was the perfect dog and anyone who met her loved her instantly. She was a best friend to , loved our girls fiercely, and knew just how to push my buttons. Although I griped about her some that she drove me crazy, she has been my shadow for 13 years. We walked 100s of miles together, had morning coffee dates, and she woke me up every morning with a gentle hello and then laid by my bedside. Was there every morning as I got ready and never left my side till I left for the day. I always knew when a storm was approaching in the night before it ever arrived, as she would quietly walk to the side of the bed and lay down. Maybe she needed protection, or maybe she was protecting us. She loved laying in the sun by the pool, nights by the fire, long walks, playing fetch, and occasionally a car ride. No sock was safe, and she would unapologetically steal the food right off your plate. She was the matriarch to our puppy crew, and all 61 puppies to leave our breeding program are either from her, or they are her grandpuppies or great grandpuppies. She started it all and we have two of her legacies to carry her name on! While we are so sad she is gone, we are holding on to all the precious memories we have with her over 13 years. 1000s of pics of beautiful memories with her, it was so hard to choose just 10 pictures to represent just who she was. She was simply amazing. You were such a good girl Char Char. We love you endlessly sweet girl. ❤️😇🐶
