Charlie and Ellen were our next door neighbors for 17 years and our friendship flourished although Charlie & I butted heads many times all in fun. One particular occasion I recall vividly was when we were training our Shih Tzu puppy, to stay in her own yard. Every time I scolded her, he would be calling her and encouraging her to come into their yard. Once, when she did, she promptly pottied there. He didn’t think it was so funny then. I told him he called her so he had to clean it up. Sweet revenge. Charlie was a good person though and would help anybody he could. I will never think of Charlie without a smile on my face but with a deep sense of loss within my heart. RIP Charlie and reap the rewards of a life well lived. 🙏
