Hi I'm Charley! I was born in a little house and lived in the backyard with all my brothers and sisters and parents. Until both my parents were hit by a car and died. Then our owner decided it was too hard to go through that again and started giving us all away. One by one, all my brothers and sisters got picked up until it was just me. My owner moved to a new place that didn't allow dogs so I had to spend the nights alone in the backyard, no more mom or dad or brothers or sisters. All there was left were their toys. It was really scary because my house was next to the airport so loud planes were flying over all day long.
After a while, a lady came to visit with my owner. She was nice and smelled good, but I'd never seen a human girl before so I wasn't sure if I could trust her. But then, before I could decide, my owner picked me up and put me in her car with my food and toys! And then the girl started driving away from my house and my owner and I haven't seen them since.
When the car ride was finally over, I was at a new house. There was a human boy there called Tommy Murphy. He and the girl lived in the house, but that wasn't all! There was also another dog there! Her name was Nessie, and I was totally crushing. So then the girl gave me a bath, fed me dinner, and let me sleep on the couch while she and Tommy watched TV. She's really nice to me. Every time I come up to her, I get treats and pets and lots of cuddles. Nessie is pretty nice to me too, even though it took her a little while to get used to me. I really like my new home!
Well, it's been about a month since then, and how I have grown!! I used to be skinny and shake a lot! Now I am bigger, not such a scardy cat, and a whole lot less smelly! I get taken just about everywhere with my new owners! I get to go to work with Tommy, which is pretty awesome! Then we get home and get Nessie and go to the dog park!! Then, as if it could GET better, after we get home, Lael, the girl that picked me up, comes home from work and I get all the cuddling I can stand! It is nice being me :)
