I thought it was time to journal about our Charlie, and how much joy he brings us. Charlie was a gift from God. We prayed for a long time for the right dog, and Charlie appeared....well, not really appeared, he flew in all the way from St. Louis to Florida! Max was on a business call (God's timing, of course!) with an old friend from Germany, and she told him that she bought Charlie for her teenage daughter, but he wasn't getting the attention he needed. Next thing I knew, we were picking him up at the airport. He is the perfect dog for us. He doesn't shed at all!....(which is awesome for my allergies), he's small enough to take on road trips (and he loves going anywhere!), he's snuggles with Payton and wrestles with the guys. And he's a great guard dog because he doesn't have a clue he's only 17 pounds. :)
So here are just a few pictures of "Charles Jacob Jingle-Hiemer Schmidt" - or Charlie for short.
He is always with us in the homeschooling room. The kids couldn't resist putting on my reading glasses one morning, and opening a book by his bed. Too funny! Why does he look so cute in those glasses, and I just look old?
Landon called me into the living room....and this is what I saw. Charlie with Landon's body, or is it, Landon's body with Charlie's head. Either way, it was funny. :)
Charlie will always find a cozy place to lay- he'll lay on Max's duffel bag, pillows, dirty laundry, etc.. anything with a little padding. He's just a little spoiled. :)
Here's the cowboy and cowgirl in Florida after winning 1st place in a dog show for "Most Look Alike."
How sad life would be without pets (particularly dogs!).
“For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth forever. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalms 117:2
