W Sibs Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Took Charlie to the park yesterday. He was sitting at the edge of the park meditating (ie, he sits there and it looks like he is about to fall asleep sitting up) and 2 big dogs came over to say hello, before I can give him a head up, he looked directly at them and, I kid you not, within 2 second, he had one dog on his back and the other one backing off him very very slowly... he didn't make a sound, he didn't react.. it was just one look. When 2 dogs left, he went back to his meditation and left Mr CW and I going 'WTF?' Charlie is 5 kg and he is crippled. The only defense he has is that he has a very loud bark and make another dog deaf.. Edited June 18, 2012 by CW EW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melinda10786 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I love seeing your updates on Charlie. He truly sounds like a character and a wonderful dog :D Any chance of some photos of the beautiful boy? I had a bit of a giggle about the mediatation pose, I can picture that!

W Sibs Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Unfortunately I can't post pictures on DOL from my work computer but I'll see if I have time tonight to post up a picture of him. I think I do have one of him while he is meditating too.. hmmmm Charlie is awesome... full of attitude though.

LizT Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 :laugh: Sounds like there is something very "Zen" about Charlie....perhaps he uses the Force! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkhe Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh, I had no idea that he had any health issues! Is he seriously crippled?? Or is that an in joke that I have no idea about? What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Sibs Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Charlie has Gorham Disease. It affects his lower spine and it's slowly spreading to his back legs. He walks like a drunk man normally (or he just walk with his 2 front legs dragging his back legs) but if you hold his tail (to hold his 2 back legs up slighly), he will RUN! And he is fast! Don't feel bad for him, though, he is a tough little guy. Full of attitude and life. Still goes for walks daily, still chases/hunts lizards whenever he has the chance too and he is generally a happy boy (except when he is grumpy when he doesn't get his way). We treat him like any normal dog, even though he believe all humans on this planet is to serve him... Edited June 18, 2012 by CW EW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katdogs Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It's great to read that Charlie's as tough as ever! He's a very special boy indeed. Thanks for the update! Jodie is 15kg and had an 80kg Mastiff grovelling at her once. He didn't get the ball off her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
