MAJOR PROGRESS ALERT.....MARJOR PROGRESS ALERT!!!

We are in the process of getting ready for work and I was in the bedroom combing my hair putting it in a ponytail and Juan was getting dressed.. There was 7 cats snoozing on the bed.

Juan said "What on earth is wrong with you kitties".....? And I said "They are just not used to their new dog brother yet".

He said and I quote "Yeah, they are thinking, another damn dog is in the house".. and then he laughed.

Charlie is ours!!!!!

CHARLIE HOUND!!

Oh! Oh! I'm covered all in goose pimples! This has been such a wonderful story from start to finish and has just made my week! Jenn, I am so pleased I want to jump on a plane and come and hug you both! Charlie has a loving, wonderful forever home!

I am almost glad those people dumped him so he could find his way to true love and happiness with his new family.

Congratulations! Big

to you all!!

I am glad they dumped him...... Otherwise Emma would not have her new friend. And he would not have good human parents. And Emma loves Charlie. Don't you just love the picture of them both laying upside down? Charlie mimics her. She is his role model. He has a great teacher in her because she is one smart dog......

He has so much to learn and he just doesn't know it yet!!!

And you know something he is afraid of? Me, opening the fridge.. It freaks him out. That's one reason I KNOW he was never a "in the house dog".. I suspect he was a tied dog that had absolutely no attention given to him. Or just a backyard dog.

He is already learning the word "outside", because I always ask the girls "you want outside", and they jump and and are raring to go and so he is following their lead. They know many many words and Charlie will too.

I am at work and little Charlie Hound is tucked in his crate. He will be spending most nights in the crate until I abslutely trust him around the cats. It's big enough that he has plenty of room to stretch out and sleep and I leave him some food as well in there so he is fine. But when we are there he is fine out of the crate.

I am going to spend a couple hrs a day in the house with him on the leash with me. It really helps leash train him. And he doesn't mind it at all. I can tell he is going to be a people dog. He follows one of us around the house right at our feet ALL THE TIME. He wants human contact and he might even be worried about being abandoned.

But he is a great little dog and has HUGE potential of being a great companion. Today when I sleep I might make him a bed in the bedroom [just him] and let him sleep in the room with us. That is always good for bonding with a new dog. The girls already have our schedule.

When I first adopted Molly, she was so frightened of everything. The ceiling fans and the tv were major hurdles for her. I made a pallet on the floor and slept beside her with my arms around her for the first two weeks. I wanted her to bond with me. She was two years old and had never had a home other than the shelter. She had never bonded with a single human being.

When I initially got emma, she had the same house fears. But she got over them quicker than Molly. She had just had surgery and I made her a pallet by my bed. I stayed home with her for the first 5 days after adopting her. The first night she was alone with the other dogs and the cats loose in the house, before I left for work, I made her a pallet in the living room and told her that it was her bed and then I left for work. When I got home in the morning and went in my bedroom, it was torn apart. Not literaly but the covers were gone. emma had taken my gown, one house shoe, my pillows and dragged the bed covers to the pallet I had made her in the living room. It touched me deeply. she knew what things I used during my sleeping hrs and it made her feel secure and so she slept with them her first night out..

She didn't tear them but she slept on them.

Dogs have feelings. Only charlie knows what happened. By how he acts, I can guess only at his life.

I am so happy for you and Juan and Charlie and the rest of your critters. I also think that Charlie was an outside dog who never had any attention of any kind, unless it was bad.

I think that he wants to do whatever just so he can be loved by you and Juan. That is why he is always copying the other dogs, he doesn't know what to do but he sees them doing something and not getting into trouble so he figures that is the thing to do.

I am also very happy that those people dumped him and I am very grateful that ya'll were the ones who found him, if someone else had found him we might not be here today talking about Charlie.

You and Juan are angels.

Tell Juan I think he needs to apply for that animal job too, and if he does keep us posted.

This world needs animal officers who care about animals.

graciecat · Jan 19, 2007

I'm so happy for you, Juan and Charlie.
He's such a little sweetie I'm so glad that you and Juan found him.
Charlie now has a wonderful, loving and happy home with a lot of furry brothers and sisters and the best Mommy and Daddy a little dog could hope for.
Bless you both

Welcome to your loving forever home Charley.

You hit the jackpot this time sweetie pie.

jcribbs · Jan 19, 2007

When we got home from work today, the dogs were just jumping around us. Which they always do that when we get home. Charlie was doing the same thing in his crate. So we let Charlie out of the crate and put them all outside. Charlie was just jumping all over the place when we let him back inside. He was thrilled we were home.

I told Juan....."Look,he is happy to see his family".....and Juan said "Heck, he is just happy to have a family"...

So we discussed gettign Charlie his own collar and matching leash at the Berryville clinic in Arkansas where we bought the girls. I am goign to get him a blue toned color. With lots of blue tones. I think an indian print would suit him.. Juan agress...

I told everyone at work about our new little dog named Charlie....

We watched a DVD this morning called The Bear and left the dogs out. They are back inside now and resting.

The only problem I am having at present with the animals concerning Charlie is the dogs AND THE CATS are keeping him from eating out of the regular dog pan. So Charlie has his own water and food bowl. I am hand feeding him some and holding his water bowl for him so the other can't inteferre with him eating and drinking... They are stingy little things...

He will probably get used to eating with the others, but I think it probably makes him feel special when you take one on one time with him.

graciecat · Jan 19, 2007

Aww, that little sweetheart just loves his new home bless his little heart.

jcribbs · Jan 19, 2007

He finally said it.

We were discussing how we could leash Charlie and take him around with us when we go outside. But until he totally bonds with us and feels secure in the fact that this is his home, I dont' want him off leash outside. After a month or so, I feel we will be able to do this when we are working outside without fear of Charlie running away...

After we finished this conversation, he said "So.....I guess this means we are keeping Charlie and I said Yes honey... AND SO IT WAS SAID.

Juan said to make Charlie's appointment to get him fixed for one day when he gets back from Georgia. He is leaving Sunday to go see his elderly parents and will be gone for a week.

I am attaching a couple pics I just took..... Keep in mind this is our morning. We are still at the yawning stage even thought it is 10pm.

till tomorrow.....

Here's one more........

ahhhhhhhhhh.... We did it girls.......
Charlie looks so happy...... He's a man's dog... and thanks xo..... Juan is a wonderful man and husband!! We got to get ready for work now. Hopefully in a month or so, we will be changing shifts. That's the rumor I hear anyway.......

tavia'smom · Jan 19, 2007

Yay I am so glad to hear that you are keeping him. Congrats. I know he will have a very happy life with you.

gizzysgrandma · Jan 19, 2007

So much for rumors!...lol heheh

I couldn't remember who was Molly or Emma. I LOVE Emma!! She's a sweetie and I think Charlie knows it. He's right on her good side isn't he?

My Siku is the one keeping the little gray kittie warm in his tail. My Siku is an old mother hen when it comes to his pack mates. He's ACES. He helped clean the birth sac off that little gray baby when he was born! The reason the picture is so special to me is that that kittie was having a really hard time when he was 4 weeks old. He was half the size of his other litter mates and couldn't walk a straight line. I took him to the vet and the vet told me that he was blind and neurologically damaged and that I could put him down that day or just bring him home and see how he would do.

I took him home.

And then I switched vets.

I named him Renny and I thought for sure I would keep him, I advertised him as a "special needs" kitten, and guess what? He was the FIRST one to go to a forever home! His new owner came back 4 months later and showed me how much he'd grown (BIG!!)...healthy and NORMAL as any cat can be!

I separated him out of the litter when I realized he was in distress, put him on kitten formula, and when I couldn't hold him in my lap, Siku took over and wrapped him in his tail.

I LOVE my dog!! He's my best PAL!!!!!

jcribbs · Jan 20, 2007

That is such a sweet story about the litte grey kitten named Renny. The picture is adorable ........ but the story is the icing on the cake.

Do you have any other pictures of her/him.. I woul love to see them.

Some dogs are just special and it sounds like your white one is like Emma...

That is just precious.
