Description ~ Charlie my golden dog ~

Ever since I was a very little girl I always wanted a dog.
The being and nature of the dog, it's loyalty and it's will to be loved and give love back, was really something that I wanted to experience.
I drew pictures, made secret letters which I placed in the mail box for my parents to find. Imagined my life with a dog, and spoke to my parents often.
When my parents finally agreed, and my sister and I had fallen in love with the breed of Golden Retriever, we where quick to find just the right place. Here our Charlie was, amongst his brothers and sisters, and his loveable mother Fancy.

I have written pages of his story, and how he made me feel all those years. Because he was no ordinary dog, not to my family and I at least.
He was my first dog, a real friend who was always there when I returned home, always happy even if it rained or snowed.
When I was sad he would stay in my room, laying his head on my lap, and just look up at me with his calm brown eyes. He would wag his tail, and just stay by my side, and jump up at the sign, when joy returned to me.
He was golden copper brown, beautiful, sweet, warm and loving like no other animal that has ever crossed my path.
He loved to play in the open sea - but feared for the water hose when ever he was given a bath. Hahaha, laughed so much at those moments.

I loved this dog - or I would rather say I love him.
Charlie or in the name of your birth "Sungold Fawn Ritz" - thanks for the memories, thanks for all the years that you were a part of my life. Your family will forever miss you.

Picture was done by me in the spring last year.
He was taken away from us by cancer, 10½ years of age.

This is a really beautiful photo of him and such a wonderful tribute.

Charlie was indeed an awesome dog, and I can honestly say that I've never seen a dog more loving and loved than Charlie. I usually have a hard time imaginening people care about me and I'm even worse at seeing affection among any other (which is why I'm always surprised when people get together >__>), but it was so obvious to me, how big a part he was of you and your families' lives. And I could tell he loved you guys.

I'll miss him too. Totally my favorite dog so far ^^

It is so beautiful and sad. I will miss him too. Though I only saw him a few times he too won my heart.

You know, a dogs life is normally shorter than human's. You could wonder what the purpose with this short life is? My father always says that he wants to walk with Yuki, even if he is tired because Yuki's life is short. One days is a week and the walk is the best part. He says that the life of a dog might be waiting for the owners and be taken for a work. But among these tasks the most important call in life is to love, and be loved. Charlie indeed was both loved and loved you. I happy life.

Your fathers way of seeing life and understanding it's guidelines always impress me.
If I ever get a new dog I'll be sure to keep that wisdom in mind

Thank you dear, it makes me happy when others could see he was a happy loved dog

Nawh~ He looks so cute in this picture~
I'm sad that I didn't meet him IRL .___. Would have loved to, because he sounds like a wonderful and really a loyal dog that could cheer you up on a stupid rainy dag just by looking at you and wagging his tail~
It is good to have such great memories of your pet~

A really nice tribute to a wonderful dog and friend
Even though I just got to know him at a very sad time and not for very long, then I could see so clearly how much he meant to everyone

What a beautiful tribute! It makes me cry because I remember my own dog, Toby, who was not only a pet but a dear friend.

I'm so happy to hear that Charlie lived a long and happy life, and just by the way you write about him, tells me that he KNEW how much you loved him.

Awh, thank you dear Mel -
Loosing friends like these leave such deep scars. But we must just hold on to how much joy they gave, when they where around

Thanks, that means a lot to me

Charlie really was amazing. I've never liked dogs, and they scare me, literally. Charlie was really the only dog that I liked or rather like I'm glad to see you upload a photo of him, it's honorable and a very beautiful photo as well <3
