Charlie forced me to accept love

Shameless post for my main man Chuckle-bubs.

​

I have always struggled to be in the moment.

​

Charlie came into my life at the ripe young age of 9. I received him from a close family friend who was a professional dog trainer, he had spent his life as a training aid for videos and in person training sessions. He came to me trained, disciplined, and more importantly, patient.

​

There is never a moment where he's not near me with a smile on his face. I can't walk into the kitchen without his masterful tap-dance and "subtle" reminder that there is a big ass bag of bully sticks on top of the fridge. He's always ready to play fetch, snuggle, or just be next to me. He just wants to be.

​

I am slowly learning that from "da business man" (idk it just happened). I'm learning to love just being. My hikes are no longer lost in thought but spent looking around me.

​

Thank you, Chuck. Here's to many more years.
