Oh Romy! I didn't see this thread before....It pains me to come to this forum very often and I missed this completely. I saw your post in that other thread about crating and thought...what? The same Charlie I just met this past summer? Can't be. So, I looked here and saw this with a sick, sinking feeling. My heart breaks for you. I know how you loved that sweet pup. I remember how friendly and beautiful he was and how, in his exuberance, he would jump straight up and over that fence and how he walked with us across the pasture and to the beach so happily. He was such an amazingly sweet fellow. I am so terribly sorry that you lost him. I just don't have the words to express my sorrow for you and Robert. ((((((hugs)))))))
