The house is so unbearably quiet now.  Joyce "sees" and "hears" Charley everywhere. Timmy sat by his daddy protecting him and loving him every day until he just couldn't anymore. Their personalities were different, but the two dogs met as older adults and got along great. Timmy welcomed Charley into his home and yard, but very quickly Charley became King of the Castle and permitted Timmy to share his space. Charley slept between Joyce and Bob while Timmy was at the foot of the bed, usually on his daddy's side. Bob misses Timmy, and I miss snuggling with Charley, talking to him and knowing that he understands. 

Thank you, Shakespeare Animal Fund, for everything you are doing in Reno, NV and Alachua, FL to help animals in need and their humans. I remember Jennifer starting Shakespeare 21 years ago when we both lived in Reno, and dedicating it to a dog she loved so much. I can tell you Shakespeare is looking down from Heaven with a big doggy smile every time another animal is helped.
