Someone just sent a message asking what’s it feel like transitioning from a regular dog to a dog with her own Facebook page… it caused me to stop and think, I’m still a regular dog; I still bark at nothing, scoot across the carpet, nibble my own butt, occasionally drink from the porcelain bowl, then liberally slather dad’s face with lukewarm dog spit.
The only thing different is this awesome responsibility I feel to not let this second chance at life pass without making the absolute best of it, not just for myself(although I do enjoy the perks), but for the other abandoned souls still out there.
The motorcycles, Miss Ellie. the blog and the book are huge fun, but all are just vehicles to help get my message to the masses, that from the guttermost to the uttermost, we ALL matter!!!
How does it happen in today’s society that a vapid starlet who just happens to have a big butt and comes from a spoiled litter of pups should command more respect than the millions going through life every day doing the little things that make a huge difference? That those feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, loving the seemingly unlovable are somehow less worthy of acknowledgement than a bunch of self absorbed “celebrities”?
The great Johnny Cash once said that dressed in black to honor the forgotten, the poor, the afflicted, the downtrodden; I would consider it a great honor to do the same.
Somehow Charlie, you can say just what I need to hear….scratches…
And he is happy

Well put and I love Johnny Cash! He lived not far from my hometown for a few years. Kingsland
Hear, hear! Well said. I am glad I have not contributed to coffers of these vapid (impressed with your vocabulary, Charlie) celebrities.
Cudo’s Charlie.
I love Charlie, dad and moms thoughts
You’re too kind, CB…more like narcissistic bimbo than vapid starlet…I wish the whole K family would just vanish off the face of the earth, although that would negatively impact legions of plastic surgeons, makeup artists, hairstylists, and “fashion” designers who keep the fantasy alive…
You go for it Charlie. Love your musings
It was meant to be Charlie.
What a special being you are, Charlie.
A few days ago, here in South Africa, an inspector from one of our SPCA passed an orange crate in a field on his way to work. Something told him to go back and he found a small black and white dog, emaciated, dehydrated, at death’s door. Whoever had left her there had put a grill over the top of the crate and fixed it with cable ties to prevent her escape.
She is safely in their care now, and once recovered she will be rehomed to a fully vetted home and the SPCA will continue to visit, “to the end of her time on Earth, to make sure she never experiences such hurt again.”
Milly is unlikely to entertain us with a daily blog, but I doubt I’ll ever read another post from Charlie without thinking of her.
You never know; Miley may have a literate streak that is yet undeveloped!
Awesome post!
What a blessing to be rescued.
Beautiful story!
