Charlie Boy

Charles Bark-ley (it's a pun)

So recent news... my best friend, and dog, Charlie was diagnosed with metastasised cancer in his lungs, stomach, and splean. With all that said today is my last full day to spend with him before he uh... "goes to sleep" tomorrow morning, it's been a really rough time dealing with this. I love my boy Charles to death and he's always been there for me... bright eyed, obnoxious, needy, crazy, hyper, distructive..... perfect. But now that I'm trying to accept that it's going to happen, I couldn't help but laugh as Best Day Of My Life came on the radio while heading home to see him. This entire morning had been spent thinking about him no longer being in my life and although the out of control laughter was probably me coping with sadness... somethings freeing about being about to accept this moment is not the best day of my life, and is in fact approching one of the worst. I'm choosing to appreciate the movie like moment rather than ball my eyes out. I mean that's what they say comedy is all about timing, and man is my life hilarious. . . . . 

....

I love you Charlie, you are a perfect dog and are always here to protect me, I'm just sorry I couldn't protect you. Have fun smelling every mailbox and barking at the wind in doggy heaven.
