Oh my goodness, Charlie is an absolute gem and a dream boat love4.gif

Such a love bug, loves to cuddle and despite his sore paws and upset tum Charlie has maintained his toilet training 100%.

I need to bathe his paws in special shampoo and dry off his paws 3 times a day at the moment and apply a gel twice a day - Charlie can’t lick them whilst I’m doing it and mustn’t lick the gel off which I’ve applied once his paws are thoroughly dry, hmmm I thought that’s going to be a challenge - but it wasn’t/isn’t :D

Done the routine 2 times now and he really has been so amazing- let’s me wet his feet and then apply shampoo to each in turn and wait 10 mins then I rinse them all off (we have cuddles and Charlie has tickles whilst we wait love4.gif ), weather has been good so we’ve done that bit outside. He is really good as I know and can see how much his paws are hurting but he doesn’t hesitate to let me do it and all in very good humour. Fantastic and sums up his incredible character I think, Mr Chilled :cool.gif:

Gel gets applied as he sleeps next to me on the sofa, his lovely soft chops resting on my lap not worrying at all about me applying the gel and the odd attempt to lick met with a ‘ah ah’ and he’s back to snoozing thumbs.gif

This is the gel applying position ...

Charlie has really struggled with his weight in kennels and despite a strong appetite his weight has dropped so away from kennel stress I’m trying to start to build him up again - breakfast lunch and dinner for this beauty.
He’s had a very runny tum (to put it nicely!) but I’m pleased to say he hasn’t been outside this afternoon since his lunch so I’m hoping being relaxed will help in that score, and hopefully if his paws feel better he will feel better and we’ll start a positive effect :crossfingers.gif:
He really does need building up, his ribs show dreadfully in this pic (although the angle he’s lying at and from where I took the picture do accentuate it)...

Despite all of this Charlie has been amazing - such a lovely temperament - I was chatting to my neighbour over the fence earlier, he was curious, no barking just so calm and lovely- I had my dog duvet drying on the bench, Charlie wanted a better vantage point to observe all the goings on ...

Charlie when we woke up this morning (late !!!)

Charlie was great overnight, he was awake at 3 and got off the bed so I took that as a signal we should pop outside and we did and that was what he needed to do. Back to bed and we didn’t wake again until gone 9 !!!

Leisurely breakfast downstairs - Charlie licks every single morsel up and thoroughly loves his food. He had natural yoghurt as secondsies which he also loved :D Charlie will do a fab sit for his breakkie and showed me a wonderful paw for please when I had some ham as a reward for him being soooo good with his paw washing :D

Cuddles after breakkie ...

And more cuddles during the day, Charlie has such soft slobber chops, which aren’t all that slobbery at all unless you are eating a slice of ham on your lunch !!! Charlie is irresistible love4.gif

Charlie slept right through last night, this boy loves his sleep, loves his food and loves a snuggle - my kinda dog love4.gif

I sense his paws are feeling a little less painful by the way he cane downstairs this morning, a relief for him and also for me :D
And his poops are more resembling what they should look like and his tum making less gurgling noises !

I keep saying it but Charlie is AMAZING - I’ve bathed his feet indoors this morning as it’s wet outside. I have to wet all 4 paws and apply the shampoo and leave for 10 mins, well that’s 10mins of cuddle time - Charlie is getting better and better, he virtually gave me each paw this morning and after an initial ah ah to stop him licking he didn’t try again, we sat on the small sofa to wait 10 mins to rinse them off and had snuggles, off the sofa (Charlie would rather of stayed on it but did oblige !) for rinse and towel dry - Charlie makes this so easy, bless him love4.gif

Breakfast was Charlie’s reward for being such a good boy, loves his food - I give it him in 2 courses as I don’t have a large enough bowl and think this is good to give him a short break in between to digest ! Then he has natural yoghurt and licks the bowl clean !!!
His tongue doesn’t seem quite long enough to lick the leftovers that accumulate on the top of his nose so I have to wipe that for him 0002.gif]

All that done and sofa time - this is Charlie a few moments ago - he makes your heart flutter xxx

Draped across my legs with his paws crossed for his home to come soon :crossfingers.gif:

Charlie stretched his legs out earlier and half fell off the sofa !!! Made me laugh, he acted all cool “I meant to do that” but he didn’t !!!


More paw washing earlier, I call his name and he comes, I think he knows it’s doing him good so is good as gold thumbs.gif
Cuddles on the small sofa whilst we wait 10mins !!!

I am officially Charlie’s slave !!!

Charlie must have been quite exhausted as he’s slept a lot over the weekend. This evening I thought I’d see if I could interest him in toys, tried out Mr Owl, a short interest but preferred to just rest on it !
