It's almost been 3 months since I brought Charlie home, and already I can barely remember that there was a time that Charlie wasn't around. 

It probably feels like he's always been here because he adapted so quickly and effortlessly to his new home.  He is such a good listener, picking up any command that we practice with him.  So far it's a modest list of Come, Sit, Lie Down, Stay and Leave It, but we will be adding to that list as he gets better at doing it when there aren't any treats involved.  Apple slices, bananas, baby carrots, the list goes on, he is not picky when it comes to getting a reward for behaving so well. 

He also learned to respect the cats' personal space.  Sometimes it even seems that one of the cats may even be warming up to him, just not when he's being rowdy.

He loves meeting other dogs and other people, he may occasionally forget his manners, but he always manages to leave a good first impression.  If he could wag that tail any faster, I'm sure he would.

At the dog park, he tries to play with everyone, small or big.  Not everyone appreciates his puppy enthusiasm, but those that do can expect some intense wrestling from Charlie, a good game of Chase or both.

I sincerely thank everyone at the SPCA of Western Quebec for giving me the opportunity to be paired up with Charlie, he has been a source of joy ever since the moment I took him for that quick little walk to see if he is going to be our dog.
