Charlie...

Well Charlie really grew on us. He was very animated and affectionate.  On Saturday morning, the nice, retired couple that was fostering him called and said they really missed him and asked if we would let them formally adopt him themselves.  It was apparent to us that the truly loved the dog and after a unanimous family vote, we felt that the right thing would be to let them have Charlie.  

We returned Charlie to them that day.  The lady was so grateful and tears welled up when she saw him again.  We're glad that they'll all have each other.

Charlie (maybe soon to be Charlie Fenn)

So this is Charlie.  He is a rescue dog that was in a kill shelter and was severely neglected.  He was found in kennel that was filthy and entirely too small.  When he was found, he was covered in poop and malnourished to the point of skin and bones.  He spent the last 2 months in foster care and we brought him home yesterday for a one week trial.  

Yesterday he was very stand-offish. He would bark and growl at us and cower when we tried to touch him. Last night we let him sleep wherever he wanted -which turned out to be with everyone at different stages of the night- and he woke up this morning a totally different dog.  He's playful and loving.  He and Chloe are posturing a bit, but nothing I think they won't get over in a couple days.  

Fingers are crossed that he will stay with us.  :)
