Why I would want another pet in my life if when I lose them, I really suffer a lot and it takes a long time for my grieving heart to even begin healing. My Chocolate Lab's name was Charlie. The feeling that I'm going through is like terrible pain inside my heart and my soul, and no wonder, I miss my real best friend until eternity in heaven, yeah I hope to go there to meet him again.

| My Charlie At Age 12 Years Old |
This is my story and I want to share it with you now, I hope you have at least one pet at home and understand my current suffering. I had never thought I would want a Lab dog breed until I got Charlie 15 years ago from a fantastic line of hunters. There were just a couple of things....Charlie was much better at retrieving things, than he was actually giving them...he also liked to swim, but he wasn’t a fan of the rain. He would stand with me under the eve of the house, while Cooper dutifully did his business. But then I learned to love a Lab. He stole my socks any chance he had, and would hold them in his mouth while I kissed his head and tried to convince him to hand them over. He had a fantastic bark but was scared of his own shadow. Much of his focus through the fifteen years that I was blessed to have him, was on attempting to capture the elusive squirrel, get his dog toys back from Charlie’s “lair” and manage to talk me out of whatever I was eating. I don’t think I ever found a food that he wouldn’t gobble down. Yesterday I learned to miss a Lab and all the sadness that comes with that. I will miss his kisses, and all the times he insisted on climbing into my lap whether I wanted him to or not. When I protested, he would try to be much more stealthy in his approach and it ended up hurting more; it was easier just to let him have his way with me. Today I learned how big a part of our lives he was. How I will never have all 85 pounds of him sitting on the arm of my recliner, or his excited wiggling and stepping on my feet when I return home from work. I’ve also seen how much my family loved him too, the emptiness and sadness in this house is palpable at the moment. Thank you to my sweet friends who have cried with me, prayed for me, and picked me up. I send much love to you all.
