Charlie is our 2 year old bird dog. He really loves hunting, playing with all of the toys we had bought our beagle Gilligan that Gilligan never played with, tacos, and cuddling. He dislikes yelling, thunderstorms and cats. Charlie was rescued from a shelter by a local group called Adopt An Angel (http://www.adoptanangel.net) and went through three possible adoptions before he found his home with us. Charlie became an example for us that God brings you what you are supposed to have. It's hard to describe how Charlie has changed our lives except to say that he has made them fuller. We didn't realize he was missing until we brought him home. Now, as we prepare to bring a baby home, our days are filled with laughter as we think of Charlie imaging the crib as a giant crate and stand on his hind legs and peer down at the baby sleeping there. Jeff is fond of telling people that Charlie will be great with the baby and Gilligan will be an outside dog. Don't let this picture fool you, Charlie is very long legged and loves to run, but he does curl up very nicely next to you on the couch or bed if he is invited.
Whenever people are questioning things that are brought into their lives, I use Charlie as an example that we all get in our lives God's promises fulfilled.
