    Well it's 3 years today, although it does feel like 33 years :eek: ;D since Charlie came home from the rescue centre's fosterer to join our family in his forever home. Where has the time gone? oh yes in a LOT of intensive training Our boy has come a long way and lately has even been described as "normal", now there's a word we never thought we would be able to use about Charlie ;) He joined as a 9 month old pup with long gangly legs, ZERO manners, ZERO recall, infact ZERO everything apart from those eyes and a loving nature that melted our hearts :* Keep up the good work Charlie we love you xxx :*

    3 years is not that long. You've done so much in that time and come so far! You've really turned things around for Charlie :)

    HAPPY GOTCHA DAY! Charlie 8)

    You should be very proud of yourself, Charlie, and your family, for being there for him. You have done wonders, and he has a wonderful home with you.
    :)

    What a very fortunate dog Charlie is to have been chosen and trained by you.

    Charlie doesn't know how lucky he is to have you and your family :) he certainly has come a long way, especially over the past few months :)

    Thank you everyone :D. I hadn't realised the day you brought a rescue dog home was called a 'gotcha day' ::) xxx
