Charlie, aka Booger Butt






Today on Day 14, I am thankful for Charlie. Char Char or Booger butt or Boogs as we call him, is an Old English Sheep Dog with 2 blue eyes. Charlie came as a package deal with j. J rescued Charlie a year before we started dating. Poor Charlie was a stud dog in a puppy mill. He was bred a lot (due to the 2 blue eyes) and badly abused. How someone could hurt a dog is beyond me.



Charlie had a very rough first part of his life, now I can say, he is the most spoiled and lazy dog. Charlie and I have had our ups and downs. Due to being a rescue, he takes a while to warm up to people. He is very skiddish, and losing control of his bladder when scared. When they first moved him with me, I was not very happy because Charlie was forever peeing on my new not even yet fully paid for carpet. You can't scold him or he pees more. Eventually, he got used to his new house and to me. He listens to me, most of the time. He was not supposed to sleep on the bed, however you wake up in the middle of the night and have a furry guy at the base of the bed. He loves going for walks/runs with me in the park. He is such a lovable guy and thinks his 70 pounds makes him a lap dog.



Lately, Charlie has become somewhat of a Diva....he refuses to go outside to the bathroom because it is cold outside or raining. He runs and hides under the table. We hope that he will finally go out when he really really has to. I love him and all his hair.
