Charlie, I still can't believe how quickly you left us.  Just mere hours after your annual checkup(and receiving a good outlook!) you decided to be young again and play in the fields.  I held you in my arms for an hour yesterday morning when I found you and cried(and I'm still crying).  What makes it easier is knowing you are in a place with your brothers and sisters where you can run, see, hear, play, and live just as you did in your younger days.



I will forever hold fond memories of you in my heart, for 15 years you were my companion and best friend.  My largest regret is not spending more time with you over the long weekend.  Please keep both of our grandpas company until the day I meet you by the bridge and we are united again.



I miss you my little beagle!



Love

Mike

Charlie -

Even for the last two days my first reaction has been to get up and see if you have been outside yet so I can give you a treat. Instead I will have to get used to standing over your patch of earth and talking to you. Just like in life, I'll visit you every morning, every day after work, and every night to say goodnight. The pain hasn't come close to going away yet, which I am thankful for because it shows how much I loved you. I can't wait to see and hug you again.

Hi Charlie! Its only been two days since you left us. Sometimes I think I can handle you being gone and other times I break down and cry for no reason. Today was a beautiful spring day, your favorite I know. I wanted to leave the door propped wide open today so you can come in and out as you pleased :). Your family still loves you very much. Soon we will do some nice landscaping by your resting place in the yard. I can already picture myself on warm summer fridays sitting next to you doing my work, except this time we will be in your garden instead of on the back porch. Love you forever!

Hello Charlie!

Everyone here still really misses you! I found myself pulling out older pictures of you today. While they did make me cry, they also made me smile. You lived such a full and wonderful life and I feel blessed to have been a large part of it. I moved that statue of Mary in the yard(you know, the one you used to always pee on!) to the spot where you are resting now. She promised to look over you for us when we weren't home. I know that you are doing fine and have been restored to youth and are playing with all your new friends, and I am doing better. I still(and will always!) think about you a lot and just smile and say to myself "My dear beagle".

Save a nice patch of grass near the bridge for us! I know you'd be up for a nice sunny nap before we walk across the bridge together. I love you!

Hi Charlie!

There were some storms and loud thunders last night, which you always disliked. After hearing the first loud noise I expected to hear your jingling tags coming in running to be comforted, and when I realized you wouldn't be coming I started to cry and fell back asleep. Little Zachy was over yesterday, and after a few minutes of being over he put his arms out to his sides and make woof woof noises, saying "Where is Charlie?". We had to tell him you weren't here any more. Zachy loved you and I know you loved him to, though you didn't like it when he used to chase you with his tricycle! Anyways, I still think about you a lot and love and miss you. Sorry I have to go away this weekend, but next weekend we will fix up your garden really nice and give you the beautiful resting place you deserve.

Hello my beagle!

It's been almost a week since you left us. I remember last week at this time I was rushing to finish my work so I could be home and get you to your doctors appointment on time. I remember that appointment so vividly, as it was one of our last times together. I remember you stopping to pee every 7 steps on the way back(always marking your territory!) so I had to carry you so we could make it home for dinner. I miss carrying you down and back up the stairs at night. I miss saying good night and good morning to you. I miss filling your dish up first thing in the morning. I miss rolling around the grass with you. In short, I miss everything about you and that we used to do together, especially the napping. I promise had I known I was saying good night to you for the last time last Tuesday, I never would have left your side. I would have fed you goodies all night long and kissed you on your forehead during your last breaths. I love you my puppy!

I wanted to say that I wanted to offer my condolences on the loss of Charlie. I just love the look on his face in the picture, he must gave been a character and a half! It's obvious how much he was loved but I know he will not be forgotten by his family. I know just how much of a loss Charlie is to you and I share your grief, I lost both my dogs over a year ago and I know how much you must be hurting without him. It sounds like Charlie had a full, happy life and you can't do any better than that. Best wishes and take care.
