My name is Charlie….
I was a stray – but almost eight years later this is still MY Home!
…Yes he did come as a stray and I love him dearly…
He showed up around the neighborhood after my ‘Sneakers’ died .. and shortly after finding three baby squirrels that had fallen out of their nest – raised them and got them on their merry way…
Charlie finds me … and I found that it was time once again to have a close friend near. And what better timing as ‘friends’ disappear when you are sick and cannot work – due to among things having cancer….so Charlie is (ONE OF) my saving grace(s).
I’ll tell you more one day when I can find the pictures to fill in all the story.
The Animals in our life can uplift us when we are down.
Thank YOU Charlie.

I so understand… EmmaLou was a saving grace for me while I healed from the Accident of 2009 – there were days I didn’t think I would make it through and she never left my side.
There is nothing like the love of ‘family’ to help us through rough times in our lives.
