More: Charlie is part of the family. Nothing makes him happier than when his girl (Avery) wakes up for school. He waits all night just to love and harass her. He also loves Christmas. He is first in line to decorate the tree. When he is with me, he is free range, never taught, just knew what I wanted from him and is forever next to me. Charlie was adopted the day before my father passed. It was the dog he always wanted. He never met him, but my father would have been the first to take him to snake falls and taught him where we all learned to fly fish.
