It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the patriarch of our pack. Charlie had been with us since almost the very beginning, back when we had days off due to not having any dogs to walk. He could always be found in the water, loyally at our heels, or if we were nearing the end, trying to hurry off and find something to sniff so he wouldn’t have to get in the van and be finished. No matter where he was or what he was doing, he always had a “smile” on his face. He was one of those dogs that all the others just instantly liked, and you could tell. It’s hard to describe, but once you’ve introduced so many dogs to others and watched them together, you understand the feelings they have for each other. Everything about him was just so steady. A while back he got a four legged sister, and his patience with her wild antics was admirable. He felt like a bit of a big deal and made sure he was front and centre, brightening up our pictures with his cute face. Charlie will be greatly missed, and our thoughts are with his family and his younger sister, Jemma. Rest easy Charlie. You have friends in heaven that are ready to see you again.
