The Doggie Update! 11/20/2012


Hey guys!  Today I figured I’d give you all a little update on the doggies Charlie and Rosie, since it’s been awhile since I’ve written a post about them.

Rosie is doing well; she’s still the cutest beagle I’ve ever seen.  She’s still quite skittish around my Dad, but overall she’s been so much more relaxed and comfortable with us than she had been when we first got her.  We’re pretty sure she’d been abused by her former owner- my Dad seems to believe that she was a hunting dog that wouldn’t hunt.  She’s got a chunk of her right ear missing, which could have been caused by a bullet, or who knows what.  But overall, the best we can do is try and keep her relaxed as possible and show her lots of love.

Charlie on the other hand, is a completely different story.  He still loves the family and loves being pampered and cuddled like he’s the King of the house, but his health hasn’t been perfect.  After many months of worry and anxiety over his well-being, we finally discovered that he has several infections in his lungs and a collapsed trachea, all which are contributing to his awful cough.  After being on many different antibiotics, he’s finally started getting better, and has gained most of his weight back.  He’s now almost 7 pounds!  He’s definitely healthier than he’s been in months, but he still has a long way to go.  I’m just happy that he’s been doing so much better.  It was definitely scary when he wasn’t feeling well!

Well, that’s it for the day – I thought I’d just give you all a quick little update about the doggies and how they’ve been doing.  Thanks for reading, and until next time – happy reading!
