Chuckie
Tattoo
number: 465B
Shaved patch while in the kennels as a puppy was Left Shoulder Male (LSM)
18 Sep 2005 - Just in case you don't know, Chuckie was dropped last week. He made it to phase 8 but that pooping problem never did get resolved. We tried to find a good home for him.....and finally we found the very best place of all. He will be staying with us. We are all thrilled. We are raising a puppy for CCI and they are so happy to be back together. Chuckie is teaching him so much.

to GDB last Sunday. We gave him his last hug (for a
while) several blocks from GDB and then brought him in. Of course he could
smell the other dogs and once we were there didn't really care much about
us. They told us he would probably get a kennel-mate. So, the long wait
starts. I will keep you informed on how he is doing. The house is so quiet
without him.

"Chuckie
is quite a wonderful puppy and VERY handsome but I am sure that does not
surprise you. He is sweet and loves to be with us. He is great with children
and especially gentle with really young ones. He loves to play with other
dogs and gets along with all of them. If he is with a puppy or an older
dog he is quite gentle but when he is with another dog who wants to play,
watch out.
He is doing quite well except he has alittle problem with relieving. He still relieves on walks sometimes. Our adviser has given us all sorts of things to try to get him to stop. But I have to admit, he still does it sometimes. Not in stores or anything like that, just on walks. But we are still trying to get him into shape. He can be stubborn at times.
Anyway, he was going to go back to GDB April 1, but they decided to wait until the beginning of June...not too sure why. Do you know if any of his siblings have gone back. I will keep you informed on how he is doing when he goes back. All I can say is that we are all really going to miss our little boy so much. "
