There aren’t many dogs

like you, my friend.

You’re always at my side.

Your eyes are a window

to catch a glimpse

of a gentle soul inside.

 

My furry friend, for you my heart

is always open wide.

 When I am down you snuggle close

and ease my troubled mind.

A game of catch a hearty walk,

Soon melts the daily grind.

 

My furry friend, a better friend

I know I’ll never find.

 

You’re faithful, patient, honest, true

My furry  friend

I cherish you!

   Charley came and stayed with us for almost a year and a half and is the foundation girl of our sheltie family.  She is a sweet heart of a dog who loved to be by my feet as I worked at the computer or a surprise “uppy” on my lap for quick kisses and a hug. 

  Charley has now gone back to live with the Sunnygate Clan and left behind a small empty spot that no other girl will fill.
