Chuckie, our miniature pinscher, passed away this fall. We had her for over 15 years, and she was such a part of our lives. A dog truly is man's best friend---an example of unconditional love.
Chuckie was such a companion for me after we got married, and Bill was traveling every week. It was so nice to come home to her! Bill and I didn't know how she would adjust to Jenny---she walked over to Jenny's carseat, smelled her, and walked away. Chuckie actually loved chewing Jenny's little socks and toys. She also put up with the kids that followed, not always appreciating being chased and tormented, but absolutely loving the "treats" they gave her off the high chair.
Chuckie had many nicknames---Lead Belly, Chuckie Munackie, Letisamus., Houdini.
We all had a hard time adjusting to life without Chuckie. She really had a wonderful life---from her days sunning herself on the porch in Redondo Beach to barking at all the kids coming and going to school by our blue house to all of the fun she had with country life. Here are some pictures of her getting "warm" in our weather--from a fireplace and in the sun:)
I sure miss having Chuckie cuddle up in my arms on the couch and snuggling by my legs under the covers. She was a one-of-a-kind pet!
We miss her but are grateful for the memories we have!
