So it's not the forming part of the formative years, it's the not remembering that they would bounce off the ground with each bark (Sloan) or were perfect car travelers… until you realized they were so quiet because they were eating books the whole time (Max)! We've had all adult fosters except for the distemper puppy last fall, though.Gescinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-46587606206480006312012-11-03T04:59:56.231-04:002012-11-03T04:59:56.231-04:00so pretty :)

Charlie's a lucky boy and you are lucky to have found him. I adopted a 3 year old Boxer from a family that didn't want him anymore (long story there) and never once felt like I missed out on him being a puppy. Yes, I would have loved to have seen him when he was little but he came into my life and heart as if he had always been there. I just love Barkley so much as you do Charlie. :-)<br /><br /><br />Jayme @ HLNCHer Late Night Cravingsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-38105670829825014942012-10-30T09:57:05.906-04:002012-10-30T09:57:05.906-04:00thanks! wish I could share more from the shoot... ...thanks! wish I could share more from the shoot... great photographer, but less-than-flattering dress, it seems :(Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-60343885706427481842012-10-30T09:45:23.877-04:002012-10-30T09:45:23.877-04:00What a great picture of you two!What a great picture of you two!Anne Taitehttp://www.thisorganizedmess.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-43971950442610604662012-10-30T09:37:53.674-04:002012-10-30T09:37:53.674-04:00he is the best!
