Arrival Story:
My sweet 13 yo. Sophie (Yorkie) died on January 23, 2007 and I was grief stricken. Out of longing for a companion, I began looking at rescue sites. I saw Charlie (10 yo.) on United Yorkie Rescue, and was immediately drawn to him. Through correspondence with Charlie's foster Mom, I filled out the necessary adoption requirements, met him and immediately we connected. However, I wasn't ready to bring Charlie home because I was still grieving for Sophie. Thank goodness Charlie waited for me, and his foster momma knew we should be together. On April 14, Charlie and I officially adopted each other and became a forever family. He is the dearest pup, so loving and such a wonderful companion. Today is our third week together, and each day our bonding is stronger.

My Birthday Is Almost Here


February 26th 2008 9:03 pm   [link to this entry]

Momma says we are going to celebrate my 11th birthday on April 14 (the day we became a family). She has lots of surprises for me and I think there will be a birthday party just for my doggie pals. Let's see, I will send invitations to: Jak, Bisa, Hank, and Jasmine to come over to eat treats. Can't wait!!!


November Update


November 28th 2007 12:56 pm   [link to this entry]

Wow, it has been a while since Momma has written about me. Let's see what I can tell you since August. I really liked the sunshine this summer, and have met three new friends. Bisa, Hank and Jasmine live close to my house, and we play near the playfield. Bisa is a big dog, and I love to run after her while she fetches the ball. Hank and Jasmine (Yorkies) fight over the ball, so I just watch them, and bark to hurry up so we can run again.

On December 22, I am going to California to celebrate my first Christmas with Momma. She bought me a special stocking, and told me there will be surprises hidden inside. Yippee...I like surprises. Also, I am having my picture taken with Santa in a few weeks.

It may snow today, and you know that I am not crazy about getting my paws wet especially when it rains really hard. Momma thinks I will be okay and tells me "Charlie, you can make yellow snow". Yellow, smellow - I wonder if I could wear snow booties and be able to run?

Well, thanks for reading about me, and hope Santa leaves lots of presents under the tree for you. To my special friends in Minnesota, Beth, Joe, Sophia, Aspen, Skye, Elizabeth and Oakley "Merry Christmas". A big hug to my foster Mom Juanita, who made it possible for me to live with Momma.

Love, Charlie Barley and his Momma

Ouch - My Mouth Hurts


August 10th 2007 3:29 pm   [link to this entry]

Well, I have a sore mouth. Momma took me to the vet for surgery on July 12 and had several toofies removed plus a non-cancerous tumor from my side. Also, Momma had the vet put a microchip inside me (can't feel it) in case I am lost. Anyway, my mouth was very sore but I could still eat. On August 6, I went to a special dental doctor (Dr. Dupont) to have my lower canine teeth removed. The other vet was worried she would break my jaw if she removed them. He took such good care of me, and gave me pills to help me relieve the pain. Momma makes sure all of my food is soft. Boy, I think I will tell Momma that is enough surgery for a while.

Guess what? I discovered how to jump up on Momma's bed and it is soft plus smells sweet. In my house, I have two beds, plus now Momma's bed belongs to me, too.

I sure like my new home with Momma. When we go for walks, people will stop to pet me and say what a nice doggie I am. Momma just smiles and as we walk away she says "Charlie, did you hear that? You are such a good doggie and handsome". Of course, I am busy sniffing and covering up the other doggies scent marks. Secret: I know Momma really loves me and is proud of me. Sometimes she will whisper that she is sorry that I had a tough life before I came to live with her. There will be tears in her eyes, so I lick her hand.

In a few weeks, I am going to see Bonnie, my groomer for a haircut. Momma says I look like a wooly mammoth.

Well, thanks for reading my diary and I still haven't had my official birthday yet. Momma said very soon because I can't stay 10 forever.

Woofers to all of my friends, Charlie Barley
