Hi, it's Charlie. I've been here almost three months and there are still some scary things that I don't like. One is riding in the car. There’s a lot of noise, and way too much movement. I don’t think it’s safe. Also, the car does not smell good, especially my doggy seat. Mom said when she first got it, she aired it out for me for a couple of weeks to get the chemical smell out, but it still smells worse than paint. She doesn’t smell it because her nose is not special like mine. Beagles are famous for having great noses.
I like going to the dog park and I guess the only way to get there is by riding in the car, which is upsetting. We should move to the dog park.
That would be fun.
I am still a little scared of tall men and sticks. I am getting used to Mr. Frank but I saw him at the state park and he was walking with a stick. It took me a minute to realize it was just him. I am also afraid of staying alone. We are working on it and yesterday I stayed by myself while mom drove down the street for something. She said it was only 15 minutes but it seemed like it was going to be a long time and I was glad she came back. She said she was proud of me for being good.
Did I tell you that I lived in a cage for a whole year? I hate cages! I won't even go in my crate. Marie put some meatloaf in there last week but I did not fall for it. It can rot in there before they trap me like that.
Did you know that there are animals living in cages? I would like to free them all but my mom won’t even go and get me one. She said one pet is all she can handle.

ReplyDeleteSweet Charlie, things will feel better with time. You are one very lucky little beagle to find such a loving home.
ReplyDeleteHello Charlie,
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute, love the photos. I hope with time you will be not as scared. The dog park looks like a fun place to play! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy new week. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
You are being loved and well taken care of Charlie. It may take a while to leave all the trauma behind, but you can do it.
ReplyDelete...life can be hard, even for a dog.

ReplyDeleteGOod to hear how you're doing Chaarlie. Sorry my letters are kind of jumbled up. It's tough wanting to go to the dog park, but geese having the car ride to get there! I hope someday you'll enjoy riding in a car. Lots of your kind do!
ReplyDeleteCharlie, you are a sweet woofie - and you know what? We don't like riding in cars either. It always means - a visit to the evil v-e-t.
ReplyDeleteA new life! Great!
ReplyDeleteYou are very sweet. I don't like riding in cars either. Love that kitty art.
ReplyDeleteCharlie, all of us are rooting for you and yes, you can do it. We are your fans!
ReplyDeleteCharlie, you are a good boy.
ReplyDeleteCharlie, you sound like my 8 year old boy, who still complains about the nauseous smell inside the car. Hope he and you will eventually find a way to get adjusted to this big, bad suffocating world.
ReplyDeleteAww happy to hear he no longer lives in a cage.
ReplyDeletepoor Charlie, hope you learn to love it soon. :)
ReplyDeleteAww, you are being well cared for now Charlie.
ReplyDeleteI think us bloggers love you as much as your owners :)
All the best Jan
